How damaging is it to over clock a device

How damaging is it to over clock a device? I know over clocking is damaging. But is it the extra heat produced, or trying to use the capacitors to fast or something technical. If it is only heat, I can keep my MSI VGA card cool enough to over clock it.
Does a chip start to become damaged or work less effeciantly if you raise the temperature. The card may work better at 5 degrees more temperatur, but does this damage it, or is there a certian temperature range. (I'm guessing temperature damages it only)
I also thought most comanies disapproved of over clocking. Why does MSI seem to encourage it? Is this a bad or good thing?

Why not have the best video card for an extra 6months until the next best one comes out. Or run new games on an older video card. That's what makes it worth the effort and the small amount of risk.
If the overclocking/mod is done by someone who has a clue, and the reason to do so is to provide functionality to play games that require a higher frame rate or performance then one could say it may be justified. If one is not experienced in these areas and/or saved forever to obtain a card, overclocking may not be in the best interest to the user. Part of the problem is often many users lack the judgement or are driven to beat the latest benchmarks and end up with a keychain in the process. I can see overclocking towards the end of the lifespan of a high end card, but with todays latest and greatest..I don't see the point.
Heat is the determining factor and the killer to all components, not just higher voltage wich I believe increases heat. Heat causes faster deterioration and shortens the life of any component on a molecular level.

Hello, I want to overclock my PC for better Graphics while playing games ..
Firstly I need to know is it safe to overclock a PC ?
what are the things involved in it ??
Kindly provide me a guide how to over clock my board
It is 'extremely' important to follow xmad's request for more information about your complete system.
Question #1, yes, it is 'reasonably' safe if guidelines & adherence to voltage and temperature limits are heeded.
Question #2, of primary importance is having hardware that 'is' OC'able to begin with. In addition to the hardware, it is normally just a matter of setting up the correct settings in the UEFI/BIOS. You will need some utilities such as CPU-Z, H/W Monitor, etc. Also, a digital multimeter is highly recommended.
Question #3, there are some 'basics', but every system is different and reacts different to tweaks and adjustments. When we know your components, it will make it easier to make suggestions and recommendations.

U400 has over clocked itself to max turbo boost at all times.

Hi all,
I have a U400 099329U with processor i5 2430M @ 2.4 GHz with turbo boost up to 3.0GHz.
Recently I noticed the unit getting quite hot with very slow charge times/high power drain on battery and noticed the Intel turbo boost monitor was always at the maximum of 3.0 GHz and would never drop. I lowered the max processor state to 99% in power management, now it stays at 2.4GHz with no turbo boost or energy saver modes. I have also returned the system to initial state and the problem still persists.
Any ideas as to why it started over clocking itself in the first place and how do I get things back to normal?
Any help would be appreciated!

Anyone?

HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

Thank you again for your time, GB.
I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year). When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing. So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID. When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted.
So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested. Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine. However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem: Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear. Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see. UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup? Would that work?
Thanks.

How to create a title over the top of the left-most column in a cross-tab.

This is one of those things that seems simple until you try it.
I'm almost there. I moved the cross-tab from the report header to the report footer so I can have a page title. I tried using an overlay but it didn't work for any page past the first.
I can't seem to figure out how to put a title over the left-most column though.
Thanks in advance,
J

I have used a text box, after you type in the text, select the box, and move it to the front.
then select the crosstab and move it to the back.

How to output sample and convert clocks to PFI lines of E-Series DAQ (DAQPad-6015)

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to output sample and convert clocks to PFI lines of E-Series DAQ (DAQPad-6015)?
Thank you very much.
Jack

John --
Windows is not an option for me. I like your idea of using a counter output -- it may be helpful as I am getting ramped up, but my application will eventually require both timer outputs.
I have a legacy C application written for Macintosh, and I am in the process of moving it onto OS X. So my options are to use DAQmx Base, or write an in-kernel driver. I actually have already done the latter for 6024/6025 E-series boards (for another company); for this client I was hoping to use the DAQmx Base to allow an easy transition to M-series boards, without the cost of writing and supporting a low-level driver.
The specific task I am doing is relatively straightforward. I record 2 channels of AI for a short period (usually about 250 ms.) and during this time I drive 2 external digital signals. Right now, I use the 2 timer outputs, which allows precise synchronization with the output and AI sampling.
I appreciate your comments, and thanks in advance for any additional suggestions you can lob my way.

how to edit xml file particular value. and how to send xml file over ip address 192.168.2.10 device using ftp through Ethernet

Hello
For using FTP function in LabVIEW, I recommend you to check this document: FTP Basics
Also, take a look at FTP Browser.vi, which is available at the Example Finder.
To edit a XML file, try to use VIs in XML palette. Maybe Write to XML.vi helps you.
Post your current VI if possible.

How to transmit multiple messages over CAN

Hi All,
How to transmit multiple messages over CAN ? With all three messages i want to send the system time & date also.
How can i get the timestamp in DBL format (Since the timestamp in the input of ncWriteNetMult.vi is a DBL). If possible kindly share the code in Labview 7.1 also.
Thanks in advance.
J

The NI-CAN driver brings examples for nearly every use case. Driver version 2.4 or later has the Write multiple function to write multiple frames at ones.
There is an example available for LabVIEW, CVI and VC/VBasic called CAN Transmit multiple.
Also check the attached VI and the Can manual: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370289m.pdf
What do you mean by converting Timestamp to DBL? Timestamp contains all date and time information. You can convert it into string format as shown below and then use the relevant data from it by string operations.
Hope this solves your problem.

How to Setup an ACL over a Command in solaris 2.6

Hi all,
Has anyone have an idea on how to setup an ACL over a command
in solaris 2.6 . i.e: to force a user (or a group) to enter a
password to run a command (like mount and others).
Thanks for your help.
haed98.

Hi head98,
You can set ACL using setfacl commands. This way you can exclusively assign read/write/execute permissions on command that you wish. But ACL doesn't prompt for passwords or you can set passwords using ACL. One way of doing this will be to create wrapper for commands which will prompt for passwd, compare them with /etc/shadow and then execute the real command.
Hope this helps, Thanks. SUN/DTS
