Root Just Rooted, SetCPU

I searched the forums for something like this, sorry if I missed it somehow.

I recently rooted my EVO (Tonight!) I downloaded SetCPU so the processor will run faster when its awake and slower when its not. I can't for the life of me seem to figure out how the heck to get it to overclock. I don't see the word anywhere in the app, and the slide bar only goes up to 998 mhz (my Evo's max?) Is it in the other menu settings I don't quite get? Any help would be great.

Are you running a custom kernel? If not, you will not be able to overclock and you can only underclock if you disable perflock through the SetCPU menu.
