good to hear that I cant damage it that way. I'm not sure how to short the pins, but i'm fine with resetting the battery, so I'll stick to that if I need to.

Ok. I've changed these settings. CPU-Z now shows my core speed ad 2320, it was 2200 before. How can I tell if this is stable though and not going to hurt anything?
