I am new to overclocking and this is the first time I did overclocking of my processor. While overclocking, it was going successful till I raised voltage till 1.6 V. But I went too high and raised the voltage to 1.8 V. At this point, my PC shutdown and a weird burning smell starting coming out. So I opened my CPU cabinet to see where the smell was coming from. To my shock, the processor was burned out and giving out smoke. I removed the processor from motherboard immediately and took it to local technician. He said that the processor was damaged beyond repairs. I wanted to ask, if my processor has been burned, then will the motherboard be damaged? I mean, processor’s burning must have burned the slot in which the processor is attached. Can someone tell me about it?
