my three anyways...

Get everything to run as fast as possible and still be stable enough for everyday use..

Keep everything cool enough without going to silly extremes..

Do it all without making any more noise than u have to.. again without going to silly extremes..

####

the three things i play with.. he he

silly extremes to me means spending silly money or putting your computer in the freezer.. he he he

i do accept there are real overclockers who specialize in silly extremes.. god bless em.. the world would be a less interesting place without em.. but my overclocking is more about saving money which puts some things beyond my limitations..

i love tweaking.. but my real kick is how much money i have saved.. he he

any thoughts.. ???

I think that pretty much sums up everything!

It is very tempting to go to silly extremes to get to extemely high overclocks though!!

I think the 4th think to play with is benchmarks, to compare my system to other users who spent a lot more money than me, then thinking... Look how much money i saved :D
