| 252386 | 2004-07-15 06:07:00 | Overclocking, in my opinion, is not worth the risk. Things may have changed, but it's important to remember that chips are rated at a certain speed for a reason, because it's the speed which the manufacturer knows it will run reliably at. Yes, people have successfully overclocked CPUs, GPUs, RAM etc., however recommending it to a complete stranger is dangerous. You may have had the experience, knowledge and expertise, and in your case that's fine, but someone who *might* not have experience in overclocking (no offence to Bigb88 or anyone else for that matter) could do some serious damage. At the end of the day, it's up to the buyer to look at the benefits versus the costs, and see which option is best for them. My opinion is simply an opinion however. |

A lot of the new motherboards will come with a nice looking utility which will allow overclocking via the windows environment . . . heck, you can overclock your nVidia card with the famous Coolbits registry . . . and that's not even counting the manufacturers' own utilities which come bundled with high end cards nowadays .
