I am going to get an Athlon XP 1800+ soon and I wanted to ask a few questions. Sorry if they were asked before.
1) If I overclock a processor to its max (FSB, Clock, and Volt's) can it get dammaged? Only if I see what it can do. I wouldn't actually use it at that speed.
2) What would a good tempurature be for a standard heat sink and fan for an AMD K6-2 450 and an Athlon XP 1800+?
3) How do I test it to see if it is stable?
4) Can I overvolt and fry my CPU during the testing.
5) Does the CPU have safe garuds for Overclocking so I don't accidently fry it. Like when It doesn't Post? Or does it die and then tell me - I would hate to fry a new CPU on the first day.
Thanks - Nathan
