probably not. you can use software ocing but dont go crying when you fried your processor.

Use CPUCool. I used it when I had a Compaq. Its free but the registered version makes it so you don't ahve to go through the annoying prosess ever start up.....Worked great for me, just remember to upgrade your heatsink to copper and use artic silver 5 thermal compuond.

only do that when yiou see signs of overheating. dont blow 40$ on something you may not need

The PC will get stupidly hot.

Also, use this http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php
It will give you an accurate temperature reading of the CPU, and warn you when it is to hot.
