I only overclock the CPU sitting under it's enormous high end cooler, because graphics cards are already stressed and run hot with their stock coolers and I don't want to shorten their life.
Plus, whenever I've seen the GPU overclocking tests on TPU reviews, most of the time they lead to insignificant or near insignificant performance gains of no more than 10% or so. Give me 20-25% and I'll consider it worthwhile.

No, because it makes little difference and I hardly have the time to bother with it these days.

Yes but not intentionally.
Setting the motherboard to recognize XMP RAM profile causes the CPU to also be overclocked. |

Still what? Get off it. Its stock and runs things juuuuuuuuuuuust fine.
![]() Though to please you with what I do with the parts in my PC, the 3570K has gone cold before (it was meh), so it was relegated to 24/7 duty. Quote:

I do stock all summer, and overclock everything to the limit for the most demanding games for the rest of the year. But sometimes games are really sesitive to overclocking, or just plain buggy (I'm looking at you Bethesda and Bioware) so it's all normally stock unless a game is demanding enough for the performance to bother me.

I would overclock my GPUs, but there seems to be some issue with surround mode causing games to crash if the cards are at anything above stock. Still, my system's main bottleneck is its small amount of graphics memory (for running at 5760x1200) rather than shader power/memory bandwidth, so the graphics overclock is pointless for me. |

CPU & GPU for 24/7
CPU, well lets be honest i need it. GPU was just for fun. For my rig its a must, even if its not much. Since games are the only things i can complain, the OC on my CPU dose help allot. So its like less $$$ for more performance and i tend to change my rig once every 3 years. Now if i had a 3770k/2700k, 680/7970, 240 GB SSD (to replace my 250 GB games HDD) that wood be another story. And even then i'll OC just to see were it can go . It will be like for the first 1.5 years at stock and after that OC stable for 24/7 for the rest of 1.5 years left.
