I think you're saying the same thing. A one-time 20% bump isn't worth that much these days to the vast majority of people. (Even if it is only 10 minutes... which I tend to think might be an underestimate, given the testing, etc. you'd have to do to make sure it's all stable. 10 minutes to an overclocked boot, fine. 10 minutes to an overclocked configuration that can run a workload without problems for eight hours a day for several years... that seems like more of a challenge).

- rhinoceraptor 7y agoThat's all true (I personally don't OC either), but you should still run stability checks when you first get your computer. This Coding Horror post is great: https://blog.codinghorror.com/is-your-computer-stable/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/is-your-computer-stable/
- optimiz3 7y agoIMO the use of Linux for out of the box stability testing is poor unless you're absolutely certain the hardware config works perfectly under Linux without any specific tinkering.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoPretty much any PC will boot linux nowadays, maybe you need wifi or graphics drivers, but that post only uses Linux to test the CPU and disk.
