Default Overclockers - beware of voltages in excess of Intel recommended max on Penryn (45nm) processors !!

I brought my complete PC recently Overclocked proccessor (quad 2.4 OC to
3.2) and OC Vid as advertised. Wonder how mine will fare over the 12 months
that is a legal requirement for warranty on goods sold in the UK. As a unit
I've been informed, this would take precedent over individual item warranty
requirements laid down by say, Intel or Nvidia. Also the selling company of
the PC has the liability over individual parts manufacture.

Interesting


If you managed to overclock without raising any voltages higher than
Intel's/nVidia's/ memory-supplier recommended maximum, the core temp
of the CPU does not exceed a conservative 60 degrees C and the GPU
core does not exceed a conservative 80 degrees C while running the
stress benchmarks, you should be in great shape.
