Go up one level in this thread


I feel like I'm talking into the wind here.

Let me try to sum up:

I would never suggest to overclock any kind of machine critical to a
business/university/government/etc.  The discussion was about home machines
anyway.

I wouldn't even suggest that someone overclock their home machine which does
nothing but run pointless games.

These are the _only_ things I have been saying:

If you want to overclock, it _can_ be done safely and reliably, and without
turning your computer into a fire station look-alike.  Not all overclocks are
safe, even should they appear to be so.  But all overclocks are quite certainly
not unsafe.

'Cheap' hardware doesn't have to be overclocked to get good performance.

Computers built by major vendors (Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.) are by no means
'better' than a home-built computer.  In fact, they're often worse.  However, if
I were buying more than just a few computers, I would probably buy them from
Dell.
