It means when you overclock you do it in small stages and test how the PC runs at each point, any glitches, crashing or unstability then you went too far.

705118 2008-09-14 06:08:00 I think it would be better to try the overclockers forum they will be able to give much better advice gary67 (56)
705119 2008-09-14 06:09:00 You've already asked the same question here (pressf1.co.nz) Speedy Gonzales (78)
705120 2008-09-14 07:07:00 It's already overclocked for you. If you don't know how to overclock safely, then don't do it at all. Though overclocking a CPU these days is rather safe (provided you don't tempt fate or be stupidly reckless), you'll panic and have that sinking feeling when your computer turns off and won't turn back on. Especially if you don't know how to fix it.

All I can say is do it in 10MHz increments max all the while watching by how much it overclocks the RAM as well and DO NOT TOUCH THE VOLTAGE SETTINGS AT ALL.
