In the past , when you overclock a CPU (Phenom and Core 2 duo/quad or i3/ i5/i7 nehalem) , you also overclock other components as well . We call that is BCLK overclocking
BCLK overclocking isn't safe , it harms your PC since the mobo components , Ram ....will be Oced along with CPU
Nowaday , instead of overclocking the FSB (a.k.a BCLK OC), you only have to adjust is the multiplier. So only CPU is involved
As long as you can keep the Vcore in safe area , your CPU should last a decade or even more
In most PC games , OCed Pentium beats any i3 . In multi-threaded app such as video encoding software , they're neck and neck (i3 @ 3.6GHz is a bit better )
