Hey I am getting a new computer and want to overclock a Q6600 but my friends keep telling me that it is a stupid idea, they say I will be at risk of ruining a $280 dollar chip for no reason. If I follow the guide and overclock in small increments watching my temperatures with the right ram, psu, motherboard, and cpu fan, is it really a risk? I need some insight. Another question: Can lapping ruin your processor in any way if done as said in the guides with sand paper and a glass surface?
Thanks in advance.
