Beware: It's Addictive

Once we have achieved a goal in life, it never seems to be enough, so we adopt a greater goal. The same is true for overclocking. Once you become adept at it, you may find yourself perpetually tweaking your PC, always seeking the smallest performance increase, temperature reduction, or improvement in stability. What started as a desire to save a few bucks and keep from upgrading can turn into a pricey, time-consuming, endless pursuit. Your dollars can disappear into cooling components and case modifications. And you may find yourself spending too many hours on the web discussing the search for maximum performance.

Not to worry, though, you're in good company.
