is ocing worth it?

Do you know what core of CPU you are using? In case you didnt know, some cores will OC better than other ones. For example, if you have a 3200 with a Venice core, it will OC better than a Winchester core.

I would have a look at the OCing basics thread at the top of this section, too. It gives a bunch of nice info if you are just starting to OC.

Weird, that site doesnt list the core for your CPU at all. I would go to www.cpuid.com and get CPU-Z. This utility will tell you what core of CPU you are using, among other things.
