How to overclock

Warning: Tests have shown that AMD processors will fail catastrophically if overheated.

Why would you want to overcook anyway. No point waht so ever.

why would there be no point or r u just being negative?

my friend was trying to overclock and he accidentally went to far... his machine all started to stink and crap then it went off instantly and never came back on.

Lot of negative input about overclocking. I do it, course I have a dozen or so AMD Athlon's to spare, so I have no worries. Been doing it for sometime, never have lost a cpu yet. You have to be willing to sacrificie if you overdue it. If you are willing to do so At Your Own Risk check out this AMD overclocking forum. Read up on some of the entries to give you an idea of what can be accomplished at a safe level. My AMD Athlon 2000+ (1.6) is currently overclocked at a safe 1.78G.
