This is exactly one of things I don’t like about PCs: Unnecessary maintainment.
Are you calling proper water-cooling “unnecessary maintainment”?
Yes. Why should I have to care about water-cooling? It should just work.
(that’s maintenance, by the way)
Totally forgot. Thank you.
I thought you misspelled it because you were joking.
You watercool because when you overclock you generate more heat.
It does “just work” but if you watercool stuff, it works better.
Yeah, but I shouldn’t care if I want to overclock or not. I shouldn’t care about having to make sure every little level is perfect. I shouldn’t care about those things.
You… don’t have to? In fact you shouldn’t if you don’t know anything about it and beyond that you can’t unless you have the right parts. Standard users can just buy normal parts that will work out of the box just fine.
Overclocking is for enthusiasts to min/max with because they’re nuts (like me). It’s like having a tuner car or something. It’s not necessary and most people don’t, but you can if you want to.
JEDIT: Jesus dude, nobody is forced to overclock anything. It’s just something certain people like to do. Everything works perfectly fine without overclocking or watercooling.
I’ve never found overclocking and the such worth the effort for an increase in x that I probably wouldn’t notice and might cause extra stress/problems.
That is all.
Eh, it’s pretty safe these days and you can squeeze out enough performance to make it pretty worthwhile.
Not worth the effort for me. It’s probably even more hoops for a Mac, so I’d rather not.
Now this is all.
Pretty sure you can’t OC a Mac.
You might squeeze more performance out of it than buying a new one then. *winky joke face*
I’m using a six year old Mac right now and I’ve never felt it being slow. And, squeezing every bit of performance doesn’t seem that worth it to me. I like new shiny things.
This is close to being all, though that will probably in a couple of posts.
It really depends on what you’re using it for. Overclocking makes a big different if you’re gaming.
