I have my E4300 oc'd 67% with just a bump on the volts .. stock is 1.325 and mine needs 1.375 to be stable at 3.2ghz .
I hit 10k with my 8800GT and AMD X2 3800 .. so you hitting 10k with a core 2 duo is not impossible

The question is, why? Can you play your games at the resolution and quality settings you want? I dont care to over stress my bits unnecessarily just to have a bigger benchmark score...

I have done plenty of Overclocking in the past, When I was poor and whatnot, and am not afraid to do it again.
Thankfully I can afford to actually buy the equipment to power my addictions without havng to overclock things like crazy mad.

I would start with the nvidia overclocking tool, its simple to use and bumping your graphics card up will net you the most fps bangs for your buck.
Youll still have things slow down at the worst possible time though. Thats just murphy and you cant do much about him

80c isnt unusual, the top end cards do run pretty hot. You can probably bring it down a good bit with an aftermarket cooler,
Hell ive read reports just taking the stock cooler off it lowers the temps... (i do not endorse trying this, nor will I pay for your burn up card if you do) I just recall someone posting they dropped their temps just by removing it, which I thought was crazy BS...
