Nothing...yet. :P Although I did kinda break my old Shuttle KT266a by snapping peice of the AGP clip off...and then spent three months trying to figure out what it was. It would crash on one game, and only on that game. Everything else was fine. :huh::)

Nothing yet, well I can't really say I've even gotten "dangerous" yet because the most I have overclocked is 100 mhz. I'm waiting until I get my new processor (that way I will have a back up if things go wrong) and I get water cooling.

lets see, it started with a 486 back in the day, took it from 33mhz to 66mhz. lately it was my old mobo and cpu, 2200+ (burnt out) and blew the southbridge on my old mobo (msi kt4v-l) and i blew one before that too, a gigabyte board. so far my dfi is runnin swell :D
