Okay, overclocked, newest BIOS version, works fine :D
I did two stress tests of 4 hours, and the outcome was nice. :D
At 1.6 Ghz it didn't come over 36.6 deg. and at 2 Ghz it clung to 40 deg. :D

Benchmarks:

Normal:

Memory read: 1424 MB/s
Memory write: 411 MB/s
Memory latency: 164.1 ns

Overclocked:

Memory read: 1533 MB/s
Memory write: 424 MB/s
Memory latency: 203.6 ns

I'm actually wondering if the life time of my CPU decreases with overclocking...?

Right, really tnx for help ;) I guess next step is unlocking.... well, at least find out what that actually means... :P
