Hi guys,
A question that has always raise my eyebrows
...
If a certain CPU/RAM is overclocked for a certain period of time (eg: two years of the same fsb, and voltage) will it be un-stable if you try to put it back at stock settings?
The whole reason i'm asking is simply because its happened to me twice now, i dont know if its just me or if it does actually happen.
Say I've had my old opteron 144 before i sold it on to move conroe, i had it at prob 2.8ghz from the day I got it with the same voltage for about a year and a half. I come to sell it, try to put stock settings (fsb/voltage) and its as unstable as hell - its so unstable its like trying to whack the fsb to the maximum the board can do and hope it'll turn on - I just get constant reboots/bsods.
Input appriciated
