lets just say its personal preferences.

some people like chocolate ice cream while i like vanilla.

for me i oc to increase the performance of my hardware.

who need a 800 ringgit proc when a 400 ringgit one can match or even better the performance of the much more expensive proc.


the disadvantage of oc-ing is.....................hmm i cant think of any.
the degrading thingy............if u into oc u know the risk so most of us doesnt even care if it degrade.

but like xixo said once u get addicted to it be prepared to spend a lot of $$$ to spend on hardware.

the reason why this thread exist mainly because of sudden rise of faggot-oc-er in recent years. thanks to Intel Conroe.

faggot-oc-er, they don't read

honestly bro, we all know it is unwise to stick with stock heatsink when overclocking...though it is possible, like i said, its risky...
ok but what happened if a guy has an old mobo that only support up to 667mhz bus speed? but the proc FSB can go up to 800mhz
(just an example,now all can go over 1333mhz)? sure we can adjust multipliers but it wont be enough to bring the full potential of the proc dont u think?

surely a 200-300 bucks mobo can be overclocked but how far can the owner tinker wit the stock BIOS? using OC'ing software maybe an alternative but dont u think it is best to overclock using BIOS?
well, that adds a limitation on how far u can overclock no?
C,mon..if u dont even know the basics of the components dont you think it is risky to overclock? if like that every time u wanna change heatsink or changing a PSU also need to send back to shop la....then overclocking would be more expensive la,service charge lagi...huwa...
im talking about risk la bro, im not saying procs will never die, and noobs might not have the skill like u bro..

there are few kind of OC, one is maximize the value of the hardware u bought, no matter how low end it is... eg e2140 + G31 mayb...

another 1 is play with expensive hardware and enjoy privilage of ultimate performance....

and also u must consider those extreme and so called pro's... do u think their settings are suitable for 24/7 ? or is it just for benching purpose ?

u must take all these things into consideration, yeah if u wanna compete for world record or mayb go for competition, then u will say that OC is expensive... Dry Ice Pot etc etc...

so, as mentioned again, its depends the budget range of hardware u wanna play with, u must review the purpose of ur overclock, some just to get some free clock over stock, some go for xtreme and wanna beat the record, some wanna smooth out their gaming experience with maximum system performance etc...

stop attacking ppl la... its hard to classify someone as a pro or noob, sometimes pro and noob its just beside each other, a so called pro can easily turn into a noob...  whistling.gif

Pro = some one who really into overclock. take it as a job.... get paid from overclocking...

bah............when did i attack people. shakehead.gif

btw i just re read some of the post and UV lighting isnt in the same category as OC as far as i know.

u know........when someone build a new rig they said that they dont wanna oc it.dont plan on oc at all but in the end most of them oc the hell out of it.


and i guess those people is into oc by accident coz their rig not powerful enough after a few months.
