hi,

I've recently overclocked my E6750 2.66GHz intel processor to 3.0GHz

I haven't had any problems with it so far and i didn't need to change the voltages, but i was just wondering if there are any programs or software that can monitor my CPU so that i can know if it is having problems that i didn't notice?

any suggestions on those types of programs or software would be helpful :)

CPU-Z & CoreTemp are must haves if you haven't started using yet. Motherboard software doesn't do a great job of judging true processor temps.

Then, as long as your overclocking, you might want to consider a stress test. I read a lot about Orthos, but I've been using Prime95. Run the blend test overnight, and if you have no errors you should be cool.

CPUz is excellent.
