Hi.
Overclocking help needed.
Purchased motherboard/ram/CPU combo from Directron.com

MB - ASUS P5N73-AM w/NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / nForce610i chipset
CPU - Intel E8400
Ram - 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2800 (O.C.)

3 questions:

1) How much can I safely overclock using stock fan and heatsink?
2) Big question... How do I go about doing it?
3) What is the best program to benchmark CPU speed and temps for before and after overclocking comparisons?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
bill48nj2
