    lets cut to the chase.....

    the question

    "should I over clock"

    from the look of this thread the answer is

    "no you should not"
    It is Inevitable.....

    I agree with ikonia, given that its a new system (i'm assuming you upgraded from a far slower system?), it'll be faster than anything else you've had before.

    So i'd say dont bother, you'll get pretty good performance from it at stock speeds (cuz' lets face it, its not a bad system - look at mine! ), and if you just do a wee overclock its unlikley you'll see a tangible benifit from doing it.
