Do You Over Clock?

[DiamondCoding]

Is any of your gear over clocked? If so how much and did you have to mess with your voltage to do it?

For me my CPU is the most over clocked thing in my build. Its a 3.5 GHz FX-6300 6 core currently clocked to 5.06 GHz and yes I did mess with the voltage A LOT. My CPU Voltage is 1.6 and my NB Voltage is 1.5.. Pretty risky playing with voltage. What about you guys?

None of my gear is currently overclocked, because:
A: I don't feel the need to (yet).
And B: my cpu is using the stock cooler (still haven't invested in a aftermarket cooler).

Ewwww heat sinks lol. But fair enough

I use a LapTop with nothing changed. Don't know a whole lot about builds, but would love to learn how to over clock once I do invest in a rid.

My graphics card is overclocked by about 10 %. It's a Gigabyte GTX 650 1GB (non TI). It lasted quite a while, I got it on Christmas 2012 if I remember correctly, and it was great for these past 3 years, but it's not all that great for the current gen PC games.

I have a locked CPU, so I can't overclock, even if I wanted to. (I think most current-gen i5 processors are PLENTY for playing modern AAA games.) My GPU is fine, and I don't want to invalidate the lifetime warranty by pushing it.

I don't. A the moment I'm actually using my laptop for gaming and it does the job absolutely fine. It runs a little hot with some games, but most of the time it's fine. It might be a different story if I wanted to run everything on the best graphics. I don't really mind about the graphics quality though.

I currently have a Pentium G620 @ 2.4 GHz. It's really starting to struggle nowadays with modern programs and games. It was adequate back in 2011 when I bought it, but now I think I may actually try overclocking it. Although overclocking really scares me because I've never done it before and I wouldn't like damaging any of the components I have which I worked hard to pay for, so I don't know, I'm still conflicted. If I end up having to upgrade the CPU anyway, I'll overclock it first and see how much performance gain it gives me (if anything) and if it gets damaged in the process, then I would be buying a new CPU anyway. Also I don't really like paying extra for coolers to replace the stock one, so that's one more thing discouraging me from overclocking at the moment.

I found a way to overclock a Surface Pro 2. XD
