Nothing killed directly from overclocking, but a watercooling leak killed 2 HD3870's. I don't know if that counts.

Damn right. I just increased my overclock on my Q6600 from 3.1ghz @ 1.36v (where it had been for a year) to 3.6ghz @ 1.56v. It was p95 stable overnight. F@H BSOD'ed the machine in less than 30 minutes.

I killed the northbridge on a MSI K8N mobo. rip ;tear:

Just killed an e6400 trying the TRUE washer mod. Probably not the best idea to fiercly test the new amount of pressure.

Other than that, I fried a P4P800 mobo, not sure how, but I ran that prescott at 3.6 on a Zalman 9500.
