I don't overclock anything and I don't even consider it.
No. I overclock CPUs, but video cards are more prone to failure, even without overclocking.
well if you think about how often does a cpu fail? yet video cards fail quite a bit in comparison. still no reason not to oc though cause if its going to fail then its going to fail and it will typically be covered in the warranty.What? How so?
The vast majority appear to overclock so far (at least sometimes).

Prone to failure? Maybe if you over volt the heck out of it, and/or have it passing tempuratures it's not suppose to be (e.g. not watching it and stress testing it yourself to make sure it wont overheat while gaming). Otherwise GPU's have the same built in fail-safe technologies CPU's do. They will throttle back if they get too hot etc. In my own personal belief, only way for it to fail is if you let it. Of course there are freak failures, of cards failing shortly after being bought etc. Tho I have never heard of a video card dying just because they bumped up the clocks without touching the volts. In my book, factory volt overclocks are a must! Just because the manufacture set the core clock to 800 MHz, doesn't mean your card won't do 900/950 on the same factory volts. At least 5-10 FPS in all games at no additional rate of failure. That my friend is called a win no matter how you look at it. :thumbsup:No. I overclock CPUs, but video cards are more prone to failure, even without overclocking.

I overclock cpu and gpu as not only is it silly not to use the additional free performance but depending on the game its actually needed from both my cpu and gpu. what I dont do is push my system to the edge. I use a conservative sweet spot oc and never add any unnecessary voltage. I want my parts to last and still be good for someone else for years to come when I upgrade.
why overclock when you can just add another gpu.
only time to consider overclocking is you already own the best of the best and still not enough to get to that performance point.

and that actually makes sense to you?why overclock when you can just add another gpu.
