The time to get into overclocking Wardy is when you HAVE plenty of money as your on dodgy ground when trying to squeeze every last ounce out the system.

Personally I hate overclocking but others may be in to it, stick around mate and find out.

I dont like overclocking too. I've heard it shortens the life of the CPU but dont know if this is true.

Nah, Maynard, increasing the voltage to critical components beyond factory recommendations is completely harmless. :D

 

Modding seems kinda interesting sometimes, though. I recall one PC World magazine that had a case mod to turn your functional PC into a functional PC/coffee maker.

Case modding is a personal taste/choice (a lot of money for nothing more than a look so it's not for me)

 

Overclocking (similar to Wolfey) unless you have a TON of extra cash you're not using (for when you burn up a component and it's not covered under warranty any more due to your overclocking) and a lot of patience (hundreds of reboots to tweak and test, tweak and test configuration changes) then not something to get in to.

Not completely useless; coffee brewed at your workstation is always helpful.

At home I generally take 2, however in Coffee Shops here,I have to take 4,at least.

Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.

I will agree that it is time for a new card as I reckon your over-clocked card is now over-cooked.

ROFL.

That is excellent.

How would you like your CPU sir, Well done :D
