Sputnik said:Thanks, so what would cause damage to a CPU at excessive frequencies, the increased current flow, or the build up of heat?

Sputnik said:So, if the heat can be dissipated fast enough so as to maintain CPU within recommended temperature range, then there's no real danger of damage.

Sputnik said:I overclocked my computer from 3.06GHz to 3.30Ghz and in the BIOS, it says that by overclocking, you reduce cycle-life, but the temperature doesn't change much at all under full load (at night - when cooler).
I'm concerned, as my bedroom becomes quite warm (30 ºC during day), my CPUs temp. doesn't go much higher than about 40 ºC (at idle). But my CPU fan goes from 2700 RPM up to 4000 RPM (and is mighty loud). When I do anything, I'm afraid some damage might occur. I keep nagging my parents for an air conditioner.
One time, I was capturing video in Pinnacle (which sucks) and my CPU, which wasn't overclocked, when upto 60 ºC!

As the description of this subforum says: "Everything else EDA related"
You'll be much better with a PC forum!
