I am fairly sure that it fried instantly as I attempted to set it at 1.8 vcore and a 48 multiplier. Without getting into details it was a completely major mistake as I am coming to find. Thankfully I was able to get it replaced and it is on the way. But I am worried that it my have damaged the CPU socket in my Z97 G45 gaming MSI mobo.
TLDR
What is the likelihood of overvolting your vcore to 1.8 and frying my CPU damaging my CPU socket? Also is there a way to check this such as burn marks? There were no burn marks on my CPU and it looked like it was in good shape although im 100 percent sure its fried.

. Check for scorching or obvious damage. It would be wise to look into some tutorials on OC. There are plenty here on TomsHardware and other places too. One of the most important things is to understand what each setting adjusts. Once you realize how they work and which settings will produce the best result on paper, then give it a go on a real board and see the magic take place
