I'm OC newbie. But I read about it widely on the net. Looks like there are some hardcore OC fans and seems to be a cult in itself.
I intend to build a new rig for myself. I'm not a gamer at all (other than some occasional ones). I use my PC mainly for Photoshop'ing, Video Editing, Emails, Internet and official VPN access. I also want to have a Linux partition to do some coding (that's my passion).
I'm very tempted to try OC'ing based on what I read around (being a techie, I tend to get very passionate about it). However I want to completely understand the pros and cons before venturing (I understand that there are special mobos for OC'ing). I also want to understand if OC'ing will buy be anything - I just want to do it for the sake of doing it!!
Can someone let me know where OC'ing is advantageous and what are the DISADVANTAGES of OC'ing?
As a note, I own a pretty old PC that I built in 2002. As you must have guessed, I don't change my computer very often.
best regards
