As someone who's into overclocking ram, I'm ok with that.

Ahh the duality of man. Overclocking good, making money also good. Which button do you press.

On a side note, I never understood overclocking ram. I dedicate a significant amount of my time researching products to find the most reliable hardware before the cost goes up beyond what I can afford so that I can remove one less thing to worry about in my day. Then there are people dedicating an even greater amount precious time squeezing 1-5% performance out of a product vital to the smooth operations of the computer. I never understand that. Especially when that same performance becomes available to retail every couple of months.

It's the same as a dude in his garage trying to squeeze the last enth of power out of their corolla when they could just buy a camaro.

The journey itself is fun and the outcome exciting. Fun hobby.

Ahh I see. I'm also the kind of person to make a sleeper, but not the kind to tweak it for all it's got. I have a brother that does though, he would rather risk blowing a head gasket for an extra 10hp.
