Well, I killed a K6-3 450 because of carelessness, not overclocking.

I was goofing around with my secondary system (the K6-3 450) and accidentally got the core jumpers and I/O jumpers backwards. In other words, I set my CPU core voltage to 3.3v instead of the 2.4v it should have been.

Ouch!

I know this was not what you were looking for, but it matched the post title, right? :)

The good new was the chip was under warranty, so I got a replacement for free! And I actually told the Tech Support/RMA department what I did! => He just laughed. . . .

Nope....never (at least not yet...lol)

My Slot 1 Celeron 300a wouldn`t go to 504Mhz even with 2,5volts!!!! but went back to 464 at 2,4v and 450 at 2,3v
just didn`t whant to go higher then 464.
