What are the risks of overclocking? Warranty is well gone so no need to worry about voiding warranty.

Cooking your CPU in the frying process. However, the chances are slim. You probably won't end up damaging it.

I've increased the clock speed to 3496 MHz and everything is working fine. The current configuration is 333*10.5. I plan to run a stress test with Prime95.

Keep an eye on your temperatures while running prime 95 at that speed on the stock cooler. Temperatures will increase quickly on the stock cooler. You can rely on real temps or a CPU-Z hardware monitor.

Aim for temperatures not exceeding 75deg C during full load for 30-45 minutes. Between 85-100, you'll begin experiencing thermal limits, leading to self-throttling or system shutdowns.

I will begin by testing under standard clock speed to determine the high temperature limit. Next, I will attempt it with an overclocked configuration.

I don't understand why the CPU temperature hits 99 degrees Celsius during normal stress tests at regular clock speeds. It would be wise to avoid overclocking until a better heatsink and cooler are in place. The reason for this high temperature remains unclear to me.

A mild overclock hás little risks. You May have to jumper reset your MB if the overclock fails... Your system May become unstable...etc.. Older processos showed more risks (they could just fry without any warning). If anything Góes wrong, just reverr to standart settings and try again... If the CPU geys too hot it will reduce its clockspeed and you will LOOSE performance.. MY fathers Pentium was overclock for almost 2 years, and só is the xeon now. 24/7...
