I would like to know how you view the current and the maximum temperature for
a cpu in the windows xp interface, so as to not fry my cpu and only over
clock it to where it performs the way that I want, but not get too hot.

Reed, what you want is Motherboard Monitor. You can get it here. Be
careful if you are increasing the voltage. Do it in
small increments. You can set MM to shutdown if the CPU reaches a
critical temp.
