Dude, all of this overclocking is just a manipulated race to the top with other extreme users involved. It's an irrelevant necessity and it's only meant to be on liquid cooling. Most heatsinks out there will not tolerate the internal heat combustion from ram, cpu, gpu & motherboard combined. You will fry your hardware relatively fast.
Overclocking is meant to be done for the future when the user feels the computer is slower to the ever evolving software demands. If you have a decent computer, stick to it dude but if your ready for overclocking then you need to be ready to dish out more cash on the pottery.
Gnys.....
in the inception OCing of course water was the preferred choice, as cooling solutions lacked any real capability, but i can assure you *now* the majority of OCing is via air cooling.... & its not done b/c i feel my rig is not capable enough while stock, its done b/c I ENJOY IT!!
, taking components past their stock speeds & managing the same performance as a rig which may cost you double, feels like a real achievement (to me)
its the art of getting greater speed & keeping it ''stable'' for 24/7 use...
