I've been tinkering with computers for approximately 18 years now. I just wondered if anyone else has found them in a similar situation to me in recent times.
When I was younger all I ever seemed to do was overclocking and benching, again and again and again. I probably used the hardware more to do that than anything else, endlessly changing the settings to get ever last few points.
Somewhere in the Core "i" era I feel I completely lost interest in overclocking. I am far more interested in the stability/performance/efficiency relationship than I am in outright performance. On all my systems now the only overclock I have is actually an underclock on my i5 3570k to allow it to run passively.
So to the question.
Who runs there systems at Stock and who overclocks and why?
