RE: Do you overclock?

Moderate overclock. About 20% (2.2GHz » 2.64GHz), really not that much. Free performance, why not. (Max possible overclock on Phenom x4 9550 probably 30-35%.)

I don't want to overclock a lot, because 1: stock fan, 2: doing massive overclocks with high voltage = will reduce your CPU's lifespan.

Since I encode stuff (using pretty slow settings) quite often, overclocking does give me significant benefits.

Want to overclock like a mofo? Go buy an Intel E5200. You can overclock that to like 3.8GHz, and completely assrape an E8600 in performance, which costs like 4 times more.

Poll: Do you overclock?
	I would never overclock.
	I may overclock if I really need some speed boost (ie a new game that just won't run smoothly), but otherwise would leave at stock speed.
	I leave it on a modest overclock.
	I try to push the most out of the hardware.
