Default MSI desktop overclocker

so with my MSI mobo came a program called core center and it lets me overclock my FSB, the Vcore (i think it is my chip set), mem. volt., and AGP volt. is any of this safe to do?

It's a good way for a novice to overclock, but you get much more stable results when overclocking from within the BIOS, and it's a more "permanent" solution.

But it still can lock up your machine as well as cause damange, just as any other overclocking method.
