Hi there. I'm not an overclocker - my computer and I just plod along - just hoping for some advice. A few days ago I whacked an Intel E8400 CPU into my HP A6530a computer (it previously had E2200). It seems to work ok - updated the BIOS no problems - only glitch was having to re-use the original fan/heat sink as the one that comes with the E8400 doesn't slot into the motherboard (the MSI m/b has smaller screw holes). Anyway, I just ran Everest and it tells me my CPU FSB is overclocked by 328% (see below). Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to go into BIOS and slow things down? Many thanks, john
