OC can cause you to brick your CPU even if it doesn't fry, the main reason clock speeds are where they are is to prevent read write errors, increasing the clock speed increases the risk of an invalid read
When I see you, my heart goes DOKI⑨DOKI

i have to say thnx to cuz i whanted to OC my c2d 2.66 ~2.8
but i am not gonna to do it
well i play crysis high-verry high (mix settings) at +-47 degrees with no water cooling
i got 120mm fan in front ,80mm fan that sucs out the hot air , and 1 high speed cooling fan (80mm) that is blow on the cpu and part of the mother bord
i am thingking fo getting 1 more fan

The CPU doesn't read/write... That's the hard drive/RAM.
But, CPUs are at the speed they are because it's the most stable speed when they were testing it.
Also: CPUs that say they can be overclocked were actually tested by the manufacturer at those speeds, then they underclocked it.
i liek turtelz xd
Yes, actually your power supply is probably pushing its limits right now, let alone if you overclock.
In related news, Gorman is very general, and also very wrong. However he is correct in that processors do read and write, so jared you're quite misinformed. The processor actually does read and write to and from the harddrive and RAM.
However, you cannot harm your processor by changing the frequency it runs at. The only way overclocking will harm your components are if you increase voltage too much, in which case your processor could overheat and die in that way. Also, if your motherboard is a weak sack of shit, it could also die when you increase vcore. However, I don't know of this happening on minor overclocks. Simply be intelligent and monitor your temperatures, you'll be fine.

Well my BIOS won't let me change anything to overclock it. :<
