Hi guys/gals ~
Just a quick question, is it worth (safe?) maybe overclocking my CPUs that are running 24/7 WCG? I don't mean heavy OC, but something like a 300-400Mhz increase on the 1700's (from 3.2 all core to 3.5-3.6) hopefully with minimal increase in power use. Is that worth it? From my understanding if one of my CPU's errors and messes up a result it will be compared to another bunch of the same work results from known stable PC's for validation then discarded. So it's not the end of the world. BUT obviously i want to never create bad results. All my CPU's are 100% stock atm, but i could maybe crunch that many more numbers by bumping the core speed up, especially on my 1700's.
Thoughts, opinions, advice greatly appreciated, thanks
