I know that no chip is as reliable overclocked as when it is run at its rated speed; but, I have also seen several machines with Pentium chips that were overclocked and sold to unsuspecting customers as a higher speed chip. This overclocking wasn't discovered until sometimes 1- to 3 years later when I happened to be servicing a machine or replacing a fan.
As far as the customer knew, they had never had any problem and the machine ran fine.
So, my question is how much can a P4 1800 with the Intel-supplied CPU fan be overclocked and still be reliable?
