Unfortunately people will still do it because they would rather post instead of do research first. Good on you though for making the FAQ.

Overclocking through the BIOS voids the warranty.. Usually all you have to do to congifure if find your mobo model and start going. Your computer will not melt... But you've got a point as some of the intel/amd boards are via and the psu are horrible. Any overclock is worth it ;)
