Listen folks, no offence but unless you actually have experience of doing a hardware based overclock please dont confuse the subject.

well i'll respond this way,
how many parts, components, and things have you burned up, burned out, or had fail in your overclocking endevors that gained you the knowledge you have now to say you know how to safely overclock things today? :hmm:
can you say it is something an unskilled novice should attempt? :hmm:
are you aware two identical pieces of hardware can have very different limits it can handle and the results you get from them? (in other words it is impossable to know the limit)
and lastly, dont assume that we dont know anything about overclocking just because we give very valid warnings about what can happen when you overclock.
while i dont overclock myself i take great joy in watching my friends set off smoke detectors and spend insane amounts of time and money doing it. :rotfl: more than one could have bought a car with that $
i always tell them if they like seeing things smoke so much its cheaper to buy fireworks instead.
