    I am a new user at this forum but I have a few problems I want to bring out. I have recently overclocked my ATI HD 5470 to 825 and 1025 recently. Ever since while I'm playing a game (MW3), the cpu goes all the way up to 100%. Is there a problem? How do I overclock my cpu? Most of my friends use the same model like my computer also, but after they overclock up to 825 and 1025, they run MW3 Super fine. I cleaned my fan just 2 weeks ago, shouldnt be a problem. I also want to overclock my cpu.

    full Specs :

    Dell Studio 1558
    Intel i5 520M
    4GB DDR3 Ram
    ATI Radeon HD 5470 1GB


    Please help!

    I don't think the Core i5 processors are overclockable, only the Extreme Edition CPU's can be overclocked.

    But, your i5 is fast enough to play any game your GPU can handle.
