an interesting posting.. well i am at the same situation too, coz i cant afford to have the best hardwares and bench like some overclockers i know, hmm, they even have the chance to pick and also share sometimes... well most i know are sponsored. But well, for an amateur overclocker like myself, limits are lower and soon my interests would go.... without more money
Anyways, guys, we are one big community, and lets continue overclocking to the extreme with passion. Chill!
