Since I got my new heatsink cooling, I want to try going to 2.4ghz again. Since my motherboard has the "219 bug", I have to overclock via windows useing clockgen. When I do find out if it is stable at 2.4ghz, i can set the program to automatically set the cpu to that clock when windows boots.

I'm just wondering if it's very good for the cpu to be doing a sudden jump to 2.4ghz from 2.0ghz all the time when I loads into windows. Default for the cpu is 2.0ghz (AMD Athlon 64 3200+).

Also, for the cpu voltage, at what point normally would the voltage increase start becoming dangerous? Its set at 1.4v although CPUZ is reporting 1.3xx volts. Max I took it was 1.5v when trying for 2.4ghz... but the temp was going above 50C and it was unstable.. so i was hoping it's a temp issue. Didn't want to go above 1.5v

Thanks in advance.
