not with most modern components, they all tend to have built in safety guards that prevent any of this happening.

I posted up a while ago about it and a few people wanted to know a bit more about it.

Well go and buy PC Format mag as its got a 32page 'Overclocking Guide' type of thing with it which looks fairly good...have only had a quick scan over it so far though.
