Overclocking: Any 'How To' advice out there for non techies?

[blakeo]

Hi,

LOMAC sounds like it eats resource for breakfast. I have a midrange system that I'd like to juice up and was wondering if anyone knew of any good sites to read to do this. I know it generally involves bios settings and putting more electricity through the components and that there is a tradeoff of stability and potentially damage, but how do you do it? Do you need to replace the std processor fan etc?

Any recommended URL's would be appreciated.

Thanks

B
