this realy all depends why he wants to overclock... theres no point in overclocking unless you are a gamer or use 3d rendering software.... in those cases get a new video card insted of overclocking

yeah you can underclock but if you underclock a lot it does put stress on your components just like overclocking does, strange huh.

alright, baised on what skirge wants to do, I would recomend he simply optimise his system, and then see if it needs overclocking (would doubt it)

a good place to start would be:
