Default Why?

Sort of related to Chuchnit's thread about how long have you been benching, and fav score.


I did not want to poo poo his thread though.

I know at least few of you have been overclocking for a long time, I see Shannon posting he was swapping crystals. I gotta be honest, I have been running computers since 79 and I have no clue what he is talking about lol

I have only been overclocking about 10 years. Started with bus frequency jumpers. Some soft clocking after that, and eventually BIOS settings.

(I do not count the AT 33 to 66MHz turbos to be overclocking since it was a manufactured process)

I see a lot of posts in chuchnits thread, that has their "favorite bench" being in the last few months and scores that I hope to achieve before a computer is sold that gets those scores at stock LOL

So two questions



1) Why did you start overclocking?

2) What was your turning point? (IE What made it become an obsession?)
