Though it may "cloud" the results slightly, the alternative solution would be too restrictive a sampling. A *lot* of people purchase an Abit system and overclock it. It is not only accepted practice, but also expected. It makes more sense to have 500 samples in the group, with the majority overclocked, than to have 5 samples in the group, all non-overclocked.
