So are there any people here that enjoy the art of overclocking? Its awesomely fun and addicting, once you start youll sit for hours and hours just tweaking the speed and voltage of your grafikscard/cpu! If you have whats your record in top speed and procent increase of gpu/cpu. Also do you have watercooling, original fan, passive, or custom fan? I still have the original fan for both my grafikscard and cpu since there both pretty good and my overclocking has kind of slowed down in the case of console gaming ^^

considering i put a lot of time, money, and effort into building my computer, i fear the "art" of overclocking (as you put it.) i'm not against it though. i do know a little about it but considering my luck with computers isn't so great i'll avoid it for now until i fully understand the limits of my hardware.

sidenote: i had a friend who overclocked his computer so much he could only run it in the dead of winter with the tower outside his window.

I've never dared to overclock anything. But once I get that factory overclocked GeForce 8800GT GPU I think I'll either overclock my CPU or get a new one... Don't know why but it'd be fun lol

haha yeah thats kinda the downside of it ^^ Ive destroyd one graficcard, but that was my noobiness that caused it. So if you have a new computer and never have done it before, you probebly shouldnt ;) But if you wana do it anyway get an old computer and follow one of the dussin guides there are on the internet.
