NO, that is incorrect. That statement is a myth promoted through ignorance.
I've seen enough destroyed product from overclockers - that I can stand
straight and tall and tell you bluntly - overclocking DESTROYS parts.
Period.
"If you buy it - then it is yours" - is a defense statement that I hear over
and over again as to the excuse to try overclocking. Once the part is
destroyed - the mantra becomes - "It's under warranty - I want it replaced
yesterday"
BS - if you destroy it through misuse then it's yours. Period.
Learn the facts - and not the hype. Overclocking destroys the forbidden
gap. It destroys the electron flow. Overclockers just don't know what they
are doing - meanwhile - they promote themselves as if they know about
electronics. Overclocking is stupid.

yep and that is also why people can overclock their RAM & CPU's without out
right destroying them. The hard ware tends to be rated conservatively
because
it will last longer if it is used at less then 100% of capacity.
