Who Overclocking

[The Joker]

But can you really control the temps to such a degree to avoid salt and moisture build up?

If I remember correctly, you live in the same vicinity as me? I know from working at Key that this was a major issue on the coast.

Nope I am up in JHB bud.

@Joker , Do you find that its worth it ? I know this can turn into a long debatable topic but is doing a standard xmp overclock worth it, how much does it improve game performance in general? also blow anything yet?

unfortunately i have a I5 2400 so I cant overclock except by messing with voltage which i'm not so sure i want to attempt.

Im suprised by the poll results, especial you @Eugene I thought you would be overclocking your rig for some reason.

For gaming...not really no, the only game I know of that likes faster ram is Battlefield 4, where I gained about 10fps by ocing the memory. Memory clocking is more for benchmarking, you can score some serious points by ocing ram and its actually quite easy.

As for CPU overclocking, also makes very little difference in games, mainly for benchmarking.
GPU overclocking combined with CPU overclocking can net you some awesome gaming performance increases.

Edit: The only thing I've ever lost due to overclocking was a weak Kingston memory module.

Its actually hard to mess up when overclocking if you just do a little bit of research and keeping your voltage and temps in check, you'll be fine.
