Why do hardware freaks OC'ed?

sakita nimo manulti bai uy, naigo man kaayo ko.

to answer goldfinger's question, the pursuit of knowledge and performance, bai. its not always about dili mi ma kontento but its more like what my hardware can do beyond its specs. ang mindset nako no, if a chip is set to last for 10 years at its stock performance and when overclocked twice its speed but will only last 5 years, maypa gamiton and overclock speeds kay at that time, i'm sure gaiilis nako ug hardware.

SAKTO GYUD!

pariha sa latest build nako dali kaau nakapangutana akong asawa PILA
hahahahah
maygani ni ok ra siya pag ingon nako: kuyog ta na shappingan taka.

overclocking is basically the same as upgrading without spending anything. hehehe!

Actually in my experience OC'ing still i think cost you more by the way we can't just O'C for ordinary cheap mobo, or cpu or even a psu and mems, it actually uses at least mid to high end to satisfy the oc'ing needs.

Still it depends how the users needs. tho oc'ing is more for enthusiast also means more cost on it.

OC is magic if you get it right hehehe

we overclock because it is our passion. Passion + curiosity. It's is our hobby, our pastime.
Some people love to read, some love to sing, dance. Some collect stuff. Some play sports. Some make models. Some do painting. Some mod cases. Some collect cars. Others restore old cars. There is someone doing something that they are passionate about - WE OC'ers overclock and tweak our PCs.

Also to add:

not all gamers are overclockers.
not all overclockers are avid gamers.
overclockers can be modders.
some overclockers buy expensive stuff just to test how far they can push it until said hardware is destroyed.

not overclockers are avid gamers.

ako mani ni uy...

to add:

some overclockers buy low-end equivalents of a specific line and overclock it para same speed na sa high-end at no extra charge.

IMO, its not the OCing that kills, its the heat. Even at stock speeds, kung init imo components because of poor airflow and lack of maintenance, dead gihapon.

i tend to agree and tend to disagree..kasagaran cpu kron kay ma off lng dretso f maabot na sa iya safe limit sa heat..mao safe ra..most cpus kron, it's not the heat that kills it, it's the voltage..

Ask ko sa inyong opinion I dont know if existing nani na thread. But still I am asking this to you hardware freaks, why mag OC'ed man jud mo sa inyong videocard, processor, rams etc... to think you already know the difference and probably would degrade and shortened the life of the device.

My opinion first I would not recommend OC'ed bcoz I know the difference on it and I know the risk. Better get a higher specs instead. I would recommend running at regular or stock speed because it will probably make you sure how RIG really fast and how consistent it is.

So kamo unsay inyong opinion?

that's why we need coolers to lessen the wear .. and hadlok pod mi maguba amung hardwares that's why if pwedi mada sa mubo nga vcore ang OC then stay ra sa mubo nga vcore. anyway, i guess procie nowadays are tough and can tolerate overclocking ;

Di ba the higher the voltage, the higher the heat? So voltage causes heat, and its the heat that kills your cpu.
