I overclocked my Pentium to 1.2Ghz with nothing but the retail fan it comes with, just to see it show up on my BIOS start-up screen. Sure enough that's all I got out of it. I wiped out a whole wack of software. 3dMark was toast, dx downgraded to some 6.0 version, Windows lost some of the extra's such as Plus! and I waxed my 12.90drivers quite good. I also lost my scanner drivers and my monitor drivers as well. Not to mention my modem, my ISP...obviously all running again. Despite all the fun drama my mainboard is still intact but if I had kept it up...
