The PC will be used for gaming in 3d, possibly on 3 monitors. But id also like to be able to leave the system running over night without worrying the OC was killing my CPU.
Has anyone got their system set up so they can select to use their OC or not when they boot up? What level do PCS OC to? 4.8 seems pretty extreme and more than Id like.
