Question Can OC damage the VGA card?
Greetings everyone,
I recently bought an MSI Ge Force 6800 GT, and I read about this baby that it can be OC to ultra speed, and my question is, can OC harm the card by damaging its circlets or its chipset.

Thank you,

yes it can. But i have never burned a card up. IF you don't do something stupid, you'll be fine.

Yes, it is very possible to fry your video card, Overclocking just adds to the fire. I wouldn't do it in my opinion, unless you have alotta money to spend.
