For the longest time I was totally against overclocking. I could never seem to find the sweet spot of a performance increase being worth the potential instabilities that are bound to happen by running expensive hardware over spec. A few months ago I bought a new system and over a weekend I begun investigating what other people had been able to push their hardware too.
System Info:
| Motherboard | ASUS P5K64 WS LGA 775 Intel P35 |
| CPU | Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz LGA 775 |
| Memory | OCZ Gold Edition 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) |
| Case | Antec Sonata III Black |
| Video | ASUS GeForce 8800GTS 640MB |
I am currently using stock cooling, and added one additional 120mm tricool fan to the front of the case to pull air in.

[...] my previous post, I never mentioned anything about noise or fan speed because I was shooting for raw performance. [...]
