As Matt pointed out for as long as you achieve a stable overclock and have ample cooling for the CPU and memory freesurfer (and any other programs) will run just fine. I used to run subjects on Intel Q6600 overclocked from 2.8ghz to 3.4ghz with a push-pull cooling solution and had no problems.

Subject: [Freesurfer] Overclocking CPU for Freesurfer
To: "freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu" <freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu>

Hi,

Is anyone aware of any issues that arise from overclocking and using Freesurfer? I was looking to see how much it would speed up recon-all with OpenMP using a stable overclock.
