3.Don't overclock till you've made sure that that your CPU fan's working

Always make sure that your cooling is fully operational. It sounds silly I know but I've known people who have overclocked and their CPU'sfan wasn't working at all. This is a sure fire way to blowing up your CPU. So make sure that all your cooling is working before you overclock your CPU.
