| My i5 3570k (by default it runs at 3.4 GHz) is currently set to 4.4 GHz. I'm testing to see if my overclock is stable or not right now with Prime95. I doubt it will last the whole 24 hours, but I'll be adjusting it to work at that speed until it does. |

What did you just post about?
all I saw was a bunch of random letter and numbers.
But by overclock you mean 100% usage, then yes.
It happens all the time |

Suit yourself.
Trust me, it doesn't blow up your computer or fry the processor. With something like a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge i5/i7 processor, you just need to set the voltage to a certain amount within a safe range that the processor will receive and it won't harm your comp at all. I think that's using offset mode. Just never use auto mode. |

you have to buy an aftermarket cooler
On the other hand, I'm left-handed. |

@xc
you don't need an aftermarket cooler for your graphics card if the one that comes with it is good
On the other hand, I'm left-handed. |
