Hi I have Recently made my first pc (I am 16)

Spec: Pre-Overclocked E5200 @ 3.33 Ghz - Stock cooler.

My cpu temp currently idles around 20-25 degrees 😀 which I think is pretty good considering it already being overclocked.

I would like to overclock the processor more. I have tried to do it using a peace of software that came with my computer but it just freezes when changes have taken place.

Any advise on what to set my voltage etc to? through Bios

I wouldn't reccomend overclocking with software, overclocking should be done in the BIOS. You need to raise the FSB, but you also need to check for stability and temperatures.
