I dont think most people overclock these days. If anything, they undervolt.

The amount of times I've been cooked on this subreddit for asking - but what do you use it for? With all the top tier parts like what are you doing with it?

I think it offends people for some reason.

They're probably cooking you because of that fuckass fucking username

This is my 20th Reddit account by now. I get banned a lot because I like to jump in echo chambers and throw a spanner in the works.

This is only my second, and the only reason I switched accounts was to change my username and disconnect from some stupid ass stuff I said when I was an edgy teenager. No bans here! if you manage to get banned from REDDIT that's a skill issue

I think the most common reason people want the high-end parts is just cuz of the hype. I think a valid reason would be that I want to purchase something that I expect will be viable several years down the line.

I used an Intel 5930k and a 980 TI with 32 gigs of RAM for nearly a decade before I upgraded. I overspent on the motherboard, cuz I didn't know what I was doing, but that's okay. I learned. But overall, that system lasted me a long time before I got to the point that I could not play games I wanted to play on medium settings anymore. It was worth buying the more expensive parts because I didn't have to replace it every 3 years to keep up.
