If you return to stock speeds..

is it possible your hardware may not perform as well as it did before you decided to overclock?

Not likely but if you overvolt something for too long and run it maxed for too long there is a slight chance of it not running correctly how it has been burned in. Very slight chance of that though. For the most part you can switch between stock and clocked without any problems at all.

According to your profile you OC'ed 300MHz. That's nothing at all to worry about, so dont worry.

might even run better after being pushed harder with overclocking when it returns to stock.

My chips always run fine when put back to stock

mine too, my cpu boots at stock speed and automaticly overclocks when windows have finished loaded.

the vidcard runs at 275mhz in 2d mode and 456mhz in 3dmode.

overclock in the bios like real men lol

seriously, windows overclocking is risky

 

[FarFarAway]

yeah agreed windows overclocking is risky. I always use the BIOS

 

[Raven]

well can anyone of you to solve the problem with a EXTREMLY badly written bios that crashes the computer if i try to boot in windowS ?

i cant even get to 220mhz before the problem comes.

at 220 its unstable 225 crashes while windows loads and 230 refues to boot.

been to 260 in windows and the motherboard has a known bug that prevents bios overclocking on some cpu's

That is so weird, rofl. I've had two 3200+ and an Opty 148 in my MSI and it's done 300+ HTT bench stable on many occasions, topping out at a nice ~360Mhz HTT.. I even had RAID0 with 360MHz HTT, which I guess makes a difference.
