Dangers od OCing?

short version? the damage really comes from sending too much voltage through the components. what are you going to overclock your processor?
 
frying your CPU is the worsed thing that can happen.
a shortened lifetime on the CPU.
i read your other thread if u are going to get a intel an do a seirious overclock i would get heat spreders for your ram, ive overclocked a cpu quite a bit b4 an my ram fryed cos when u overclock your cpu your overclocking your ram as well un less your overclocking by increasing the multyplyer wich can NOT be done on many processers the C2E an the AMD black edishioins are the only ones i think
 
they dont have one @3.2 but there is the E8400 wich is a great overclocker so i have heard an there is a E6850 which is @3.0 as well as the 8400 im not sure how the 6850 overclocks thow

what intel processor is a good processor to overclock but has the same stock clock as an AMD 6400+ x2

the same clock? why on earth would you need that? an intel that comes stock at 1.6 can easily get up to 3.4GHZ, so their starting speed matters very little to everything but your ram. but if you have ok/good ram your fine
 
by raising the frontside bus speed of your motherboard, which in turn increases the cycles per second of the processor, making it faster but also hotter in the process. for more read this: OC 101 it may be old but the information is as good as it was before, read and learn.

Your wrong, you can just set the ram speed lower regardless of cpu multiplier locks or not
