whats the point in overclocking? it lesses the life of the cpu and ram, plus it only makes 5% or 10% different maybe 15%... ive only done it once for about 25 minute then i changed it back.. is it only me that can't see the point in it?

and it's only excessive voltage that kills cpus. most people overclock without increasing the voltage so the cpu will last just as long. and even small voltage increments make no odds to the overall lifetime. the chip will be obsolete long before it dies.![]()

how did you work that out?gareth170 said:plus it only makes 5% or 10% different maybe 15%

Yes it will shorten the life of the CPU, but I will have replaced it with something faster long before it dies anyway. It will still last 5+ years, probably considerably longer.
