and now you know why overclocking is stupid. (disabling mce is stupid |
| 14 |
too btw). |

Before there are segfaults there are silent data corruption errors. The |
| 17 |
file you downloaded and saved to the disk? Damaged - and you won't |
| 18 |
know... or you will, when those errors add up, turning precious data |
| 19 |
into binary garbage. |

Only overclock if there is nothing of worth on your computer - and |
| 22 |
nothing of worth done with it. But in that case - why use it in the |
| 23 |
first place? |

Don't be stupid. Don't overvlock. |
