I always thought overclocking was a risky operation and that if done incorrectly it would break the PC
That's true but only if you don't bother to do a little research and put some thought into it.

Yeah as long as you dont go too far its ok. I think now I shall try and overclock every PC I have.

I think 3.4 is going to be the max I am going to get from the E8300 since I can't adjust the voltages manually and 3.6 makes it bluescreen while running intel burn. I wonder if using the last full realese of the bios might help? The version I have is a beta and might be the reason I cant adjust the Vcore. Just now the Vcore seems to stay constant at 1.14 I think if I could increase that then I might be able to push the chip higher.
