Overclocking, when done savagely and inexpertly can lead to anywhere from slight performance degradation/instability through to complete failure of a CPU. As a testament to the finesse of our Technicians, who have been overclocking processors for over 7 years, they have yet to have an overclocked CPU fail, even long after the warranty has since expired.
