I see a lot of talk about overclocking and modding on tech forums. I wanted a thread where we could talk about using our computer equipment within the manufacturer's specification. I really like my ivy core i5 3750 (non K). It serves my needs for running desktop linux really well. I also have a moto g I do not plan to jail break as it provides a completely satisfactory user experience out of the box. Anyone else that is happy using their computing equipment as the manufacturer intended?

so is there an actual use case for overclocking or am i just wrong for buying new equipment when it's 5+ years old?

L33t points. When you get "over 300" or we you turn into a turbo dork.

Sometimes you can buy cheap poo poo like that Pentium people were raving about, then run it at twice stock for a year or two before it blows up. Its the thrill of a good deal I suppose.

You are in the wrong thread. Your posts have been reported. I encourage all non overclockers and non modders ITT (in this thread) to report these hateful posts as well. Please go to the 3xtr3m3 0v3rcl0ck3r thread.
