I don't overclock any more after a weird experience I had overclocking an Athlon ages ago. It ran fine except that unzipping something always failed with a CRC error. Before that I expected that an overclocked CPU would either work or fail spectacularly. I'm not willing to risk data silently being corrupted in the background, particularly when even mid-range CPUs these days are more than enough for nearly everything.
