Overclocking Pointless? Hardware and Software Hardware by MAD_DOG … lot of people agree with me. Overclocking now is becoming pointless any body agree with me I talking about from Processors… to Video Cards just completely pointless. Water cooling is cool as well but just not worth… go technical in it just saying all this is becoming pointless. Re: Overclocking Pointless? Hardware and Software Hardware by crunchie Already got my 3.2Ghz hexacore running at 4.5Ghz :). Only pointless if you don't get a kick out of it. Why pay for a processor that does 4Ghz when you can buy one that runs at 3Ghz for say, 25% less, then overclock it to 4Ghz. Works for me :D Re: Overclocking Pointless? Hardware and Software Hardware by whipaway you right Re: Overclocking Pointless? Hardware and Software Hardware by Dani heh :-P I never overclock, not worth it 4 me Re: Overclocking Pointless? Hardware and Software Hardware by Paladine I tend to agree. I watch these people run these benchmarks, which sound all great, but numbers are numbers. Overclocking never seems to give me any noticeable boost in anything. In all honesty it does change the benchmarking numbers.... As a Pharmacist / Medical Professional we have a moto...

Hardware and Software Hardware by javanoob101 Overclocking can yield a much faster computer but at a cost: Your computer amy become unstable or your cpu may just burn itself out. Your RAM may also start to write corrupted data to your hard drive. I generally don't over-clock (the risks out way the benifits to me) but I have done it before. Wow!
