I'm new to overclocking. I have a Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66ghz with a Asus Maximus Formula Motherboard. I want to know what speed I could i get up to with stock cooling. I don't want to overclock that much right now, since I'll only be using stock cooling. I just have a few questions:
1. What is a good and stable temperature for overclocking?
2. What are some good overclocking tools for like stress testing and benchmarking?
3. Is there a good overclocking guide or book anyone could recommend?
4. Is it easy to mess up my CPU?
Thanks
