Unless you like wasting your time troubleshooting and annoying your
distributors, overclocking is a very very bad idea.
Products are given a specific rating on purpose; it is not "random" as
some may make it sound. Although it is in style to overclock, it should
be strongly discouraged.
Our failure rates on CPUs have jumped by an order of magnitude since
people have started oc'ing. Overclocking voids most distributors
warranties, and is not worth the risk. The CPU is hardly ever the
bottleneck anyway.
