That's around the last generation when it was worth to overclock things, because the headroom on a typical consumer-grade -K cpu was at least 25%. Personally, I run a 4670K at 4Ghz, and it's been rock stable as my main machine for the last 8.5 years. It's finally beginning to show its age in 22-23, but the longevity and use I got out of a $200 processor is incredible. But when CPUs auto-turbo to 5+ Ghz, I agree, overclocking sort of loses its luster.
