I am running a AMD X2 3800+ 65watt Windsor which is supposed to be pretty good for overclocking along with a 7600gt Evga video card which also I hear is supposed to be decent for over clocking. I would like to get a little more kick out of my aging AMD X2 and my video card before I retire them. My current temps are...
CPU 27c
System Temp -53 ??? I don't know why it reads -
Harddrive 26c
Do you all think I should go for the overclock? Anyone know a good guide for this cpu because way back in the day when I tried to overclock my p4 I froze my PC up.

I suggest you do some overclocking in software first to give you an idea of what you can expect. Personally, I consider overclocking to be the last step you take before you get rid of a PC because the risk just isn't worth the gains unless you go all out.
