Does Overclocking Damage your CPU?

[Robbo123]

Hi Guys,

My setup is -

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ @ 2.5GHz on stock cooling 1.422 Volts
MSI Neo2 K8T Motherboard MS-6702E (939)
1GB (2x512MB) Geil value RAM DDR 400
80GB Hitachi HDD (IDE)
ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256MB

my mate says that over time my CPU might fail/break/get fried if im not careful?


Is this true??

I've recently ordered a Arctic Freezer Pro Cooler for my CPU as i want it at 2.8Ghz the FX-57 Speeds.....

Any Thoughts?
