' Wrote:E8400 CPU runs at 3GHz Stock, why would you want to overclock it that much? Its just mean!
These guys are nutcases with Liquid Nitro/water cooling etc and dont use their insanely overclocked CPU as a server.
You probably know what you're doing, but for a 24/7 server maybe leaving it at stock speeds would eliminate the possiblilty of hardware crashes?
I have one of these monsters, possibly the best 140 quid i have spent in a long time. Its fast enough without overclocking IMO.
Server load is rather high as of late. Getting the most out of the CPU is necessary. Unless you want us to leave it stock, and cut the player limit to 64.
OC is what allowed us to up the player limit to 128 without wasting a lot of money on a faster processor. If you knew how processors are made and certified, you would understand why some overclock well, and other doesn't.
