Yes sir! Yeah when the contest first started I went and watched all the build videos I could find (props to Macro and Dave) and then when it ended watched them again and looked at dates when they announced the winners and saw that it would be a week or so. Like I said earlier while i'm waiting on who won, i'm more curious to the build video. I did do some looking up and the MB is only about an inch larger than a standard ATX board so it should fit in the case they choose but still wondering how its gonna look.

I disagree. Overclocking reduces the overall lifespan of a machine. Some folks, like myself, want our machines to last as long as possible because we can't afford to be replacing them very often. I don't think that makes me 'a bit crazy'. So... if I win this machine, I'll keep it clean, cool, and running at stock speeds for years.

Remember... just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

To each their own though. :) 

''Sell the 3770K and get a regular 3770 then, if it has a "K", you must overclock. Dems the rules.''

I agree ! But you can run at stock for the first years and overclock it when needed with an OC Bios Profile.

I would have to test its limits, that is all I know. No point in having that cpu/mobo combo and not seeing what its capable of. 

-just checked what is the proco and i seen a feature Anti-thief ! but u have to subscrive for 1 year, lol, acomputer like this ! who ever would jump on it ;) 
   
 

no need to OC, but they exist programs,Video game that require an Top End Computer, there u use the red NoS-boost button ;)   l^o^l  
 
As much as this could run smooth,this computer would handle to CRYSIS 4, Battlefield 5  easy but can have  limit lol !!!  ( add rams, and change video card or add same video card. )
 
but i don't event know no one having some thing like that Yeahhh!!!! eheh  !  


  

Agreed,....Manufacturers saw the public's desire to overclock and began to cater to those desires long ago.

Question: Why are some high-end CPUs sold in an unlocked state? Why do almost all Mainboards have a way to automagically overclock your system in their BIOS settings? Why are video cards built with OC leeway in them?

Answer: It's an accepted practice, and it's encouraged too.

PC parts makers provide software solutions to OC their products. They claim superior OC abilities in their advertisements too. They understand that people are drawn to faster products, and they willingly sell ~that~ to us.

Of course they ~all~ have disclaimers in their warranties that we OC at our own risk,...........

April fool ! Ha ha ! We got you ![co]
