If you don’t understand what FSB is, then you shouldn’t be even thinking about overclocking! It’s not something done lightly, you need to fully understand what you are doing otherwise you risk damaging your components. For starters read the following articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_side_bus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_multiplier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_locking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_power_supply if you are new to overclocking / read here for starters http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...-oc-guide.html …And research the motherboard, CPU model and PSU that comes with the system!
