Most people don't feel the need to overclock. Not only because they could care less about the entire issue, but because most don't venture that deep into PC hardware to start with it in the first place. Even the OC'ers that are around can be divided into different groups. Most of those keep posting all sorts of whacky technical stuff without being able to pull off anything usefull while most serious and extreme OC'ers just do it for fun and entertainment. Most often, these OC'ers don't brag about it much and only post the info they want to prove what they did, just to help others and show what is possible with a certain piece of equipment. These use common sense as well, they don't start using stuff that really isn't intended to be used for OC'ing. And IF they use it, they are very humble about it... never seen any serious hardcore OC'er use a welding tool to power their PC... :roll:
So, the average gamer won't do this, since they more often then not have to pay a lot of cash for their equipment and don't want to risk failure due to OC'ing. It's healthy to be scared if you don't have the possibilities and resources to just swap your hardware if you really don't have the budget or nerve for it. But more often then not, common sense and the ability to learn about it in a humble way will get you far, even if you only start with minor OC'ing at first. As long as YOU like it and just help others instead of bragging about it with the ''look at me, I'm SO good'' attitude, it will get you far. ;)ave pc gamer overclock?
do u have to know a lot of math to overclock?
[QUOTE=''gregdpw'']do u have to know a lot of math to overclock?[/QUOTE]No, not at all. You can learn how to OC just by reading a guide on the Internet. It's really easy, as long as you're careful and know what you're doing.
I overclock my cpu, have a amd x2 5200 running at 3.0ghz. Only do it because I can really, never tried anything with RAM though really, havn't looked up how to do it, but cpu overclock is pretty easy.
