    I need help by determining the exact core power of my CPU and how one can monitor it. I'd like to know also how to & where can I control it or change it's setting. Can be the CPU's core power by dual core CPU, controlled individually?

    I ran a test on SiSandra and I got back some kind of warning that says: Core2 power is higher as it supposed to be, I might have pushed the voltage by O'clock to far. I am not even O'clock my system yet?!

    Is it possible by a dual core that one core lose from it's output but the other still working fine?

    I'm planing to O'clock my system but I need some advice how far should I go with voltage if I want a decent O'clock?

    I'm sorry if my questions sound to be too silly but please bare with me as I'm a newbie to this kind of things!

    Thanks for any advice!

    Is there anyone who can give some advice, even that some part of my question might sound to be ridiculous!

    Thanks
