overclock only when you consider it necessary, ie to play certain cpu intensive games in RPCS3 emulator,to use yuzu emulator etc
otherwise for everyday use run it at stock speed
please note all intel ending in K are ready to overclock, however those are very prone to have a short life,I have seen lot of those burned/dead, generally some overclockers make abuse of them to the extreme

Very intriguing. I have an ASUS P6T I've been using for over 8 years, 2.80 GHz and I've overclocked it to 3.15+ often, from the time I built it and..the 2 Core is doing very, very well. However, I understand the newer CPUs run a lot hotter. I appreciate the info, as I'm consider Ryzen.
