I posted up a while ago about it and a few people wanted to know a bit more about it.
Well go and buy PC Format mag as its got a 32page 'Overclocking Guide' type of thing with it which looks fairly good...have only had a quick scan over it so far though.

Used to overclock alot, then realised I ended up spending so much money trying to get a few more benchmark points, rather than using the PC for proper uses. It gets addictive, always wanting more.

not with most modern components, they all tend to have built in safety guards that prevent any of this happening.
