Hello,
I have a Pentium II 400Mhz Slot 1 CPU (Compaq Computer) and I noticed that the motherboard controls for changing the CPU MHz are some jumpers on the motherboard, a very clear diagram appears to tell me that the maximum Mhz that can be enabled would be up to 500Mhz. This would be great if I get a Slot 1 Pentium III 500Mhz. But I was wondering, is it safe to Overclock from 400Mhz to 500 Mhz? And if it or isn't, can you please tell me of the consequences of overclocking? I've heard a lot of things, but I'd would just like a simple explination of the cons of overclocking.
Thanks,
Stereomaster
