* Excessive overclocking with stock voltages is definitely bad for most components in your device, especially if the device is continuously locked at high frequencies with high load (see TI specs). | * Excessive overclocking with stock voltages is definitely bad for most components in your device, especially if the device is continuously locked at high frequencies with high load (see TI specs). | ||
* Specifications give guarantees for the worst-case scenarios that are covered by the warranty.

Or you decide to accuire thorough electronics engineer's understanding of the issue, and study TI's papers regarding SmartReflex™ and how it works - then all the evidence for damage positively done is there already. |
