Overclocking Qs

Hi
I know people say that Dells are unoverclockable but what I wanted to know
is - are they actually impossible to OC or is it just very hard to do? I
mean with keeping all the hardware the same, not changing the motherboard,
CPU etc.
Thanks for any help

Exactly why do you need to over clock?

What percentage of people into overclocking get on dates or ever laid?

Why can't you just use the computer instead of messing with it?

Because it's there. I used to customize my bicycle too and try to make it
faster.

Well, if I were to go on a date now I would hope my wife would not find out
about it, but my sex life at home is fairly good.

Obssessive compulsion? The timeless struggle of man over machine? Or,
maybe it's a hobby and it's fun........ or could it really be that simple?

Why can't you just ****off and die?

Seems I got fairly close to the truth here.

Exactly why do you feel the need to be told what speed to run your
system?

Probably a higher percentage than those having such negative
attitudes.

These appear to be comments made in ignorance.
You do realize that overclocking is not a religion (to most), is an
easy (and if done properly) safe way to get a performance gain, IF the
prerequisite knowledge is amassed?

If you would need forgo all the finer things in life to accomplish
what is relativley quick and easy to others, you probably shouldn't
overclock, but it certainly is subjective. Someone who knows the
facts can make an informed choice. In my experience it's a greater
risk to use a cheap heatsink (fan) or power supply than to overclock.

Considering that there are quite a few people on this planet, plenty
of opportunities, conceptions, and births, it doesn't seem that
going on a date or "getting laid" is particularly difficult to do,
something that would interfere with one's hobbies, does it?

Freedom of choice.

exactly the same amount who die.

Because we all like picking scabs off wounds ;-)

Hi,

fair point, however I am glad to point out that I am one of a small minority
who loves his computer hardware, but also I take time out to to play hide
the sausage with as many big-boobed women as possible. Everything in
moderation I say, but too much PC can really damaged your sex life!

I'm just about to join a gym and overclock my body a bit!, too much PC can
seriously damage your physique :P
