There's no point to overclocking. The risks FAR outway the benefits. It's more of a nerdy bragging rights thing. Unless you go all out your not going to get much of a performance game at all. I don't know about you guys but I don't walk around in games going, "wow this is running really smooth. Look at the blood spewing out of that guy over there having fun..."

Just play games. Who cares about these minimal performance gains? I'd rather be able to use my computer longer. When I'm playing I could care less about the image quality. That's why I still play renegade.

I very much dissagree with you. Though, yes, some do it simply to see how high they can actually go you can save a lot of money and gain a noticable difference in performance. My 2.4 quad runs at 3.0 ... I notice a difference when I'm hitting the top of one core. When I'm maxin out all four cores the difference is stupid.

There is little risk so long as you do two things. Stay within your CPUs tolorance and keep it cool. A lot of times (like in my case) that requires an after market heatsink/fan. I should take a pic of mine and post it.

SSnipe, what CPU do you have (be specific)?
