Is it your hobby or do you rather wonder whatīs the point?
Some people put a lot of time, effort and money to squeeze the last Mhzīs out of their outdates systems. Sometimes more than what it would cost to simply update. If you donīt know all the risks it can bring.. pooof! Makes you think.. Anyway, I tuned my mobo a bit, from 800 -> 900 Mhz. Mobo temp only rised 4 celsius. I must be missing something...? Soo, what do you think?

Your processor won't last very long when you constantly tweak.

Have a look at your processor temp, I suspect its gone a bit higher than the mobo temp has.

well, it is practically the first time I seriously tweak. Temperatures: Mobo / Processor / Graph. Card - 42/50/57 C
They didnīt raise notably, graph card cannot be clocked any more. I suppose my mobo (MSI KT333) is simply good for overclocking.

Unfortunately, you dont get much out of it with a decent rig. Any mobo that has a 800Mhz FSB on it already has enough power to run any game at full specs, and will probably be acceptable several years from now - CPU power has followed moore's law and doubled every 18 months for decades now, but games requirements haven't.

Overclocing used to be big back in the 300MHZ days, but now it's a complete waste of time. CPU's over 2.0GHZ are dirt cheap these days, and if you can show me any consumer grade app that requires 2GHZ or more to run, I'll be impressed.
For bragging rights maybe. I've overclocked a 1.2GHZ T-Bird to 1.8GHZ before without breaking a sweat, but it's not worth the trouble these days. Software hasn't even come close to approaching hardware development. The only reason I see for overclocking these days is to prove how big your cojones are. If all your care about is benchmark numbers, then fly at it but don't come running to me when you start smelling something funny coming from your case.
