My brother has a E6300 running at 1.8 ghz so I decided would give it a small overclock as he only has stock cooling. He has an oem pc so I didn't even expect to be able to overclock it but in the bios I seen an option to change cpu voltage. It lied, all I could change was the fsb. So I changed it by 1 to start with and tested with cpu-z and it was showing. My first ever overclock
I decided to be more adventurous and change it so that it was 2.4ghz so I changed it from a default of 267 to 343. Turned on the pc and got keyboard failure and it wouldn't boot. I pooed myself for the next 30 minutes then reset the cmos. It wouldn't boot with the jumper in the second and third pins so I tried the first two again and success!
Is it safe to say I should never attempt this again or could someone give me some advice. What would have caused it not to boot. Was it the 230w psu which is now replaced by a 400w corsair or the awful ecs motherboard?
