I guess I'm not planning to OC because I haven't looked into it recently. I remember hearing stories early on of people killing their chips by trying to get too much out of them. Another concern is heat. I assume an OC chip runs hotter. We are likely getting a new desk for the office where the computer will basically site inside of a storage cabinet in the desk to "hide" it for WAF. While it might look nicer, part of my concern with a new machine is it running cool enough that being in tucked away instead of open won't be an issue for it.
If I could OC easily, without additional risk of damage or increased heat concerns, then I'd consider it. Processor also doesn't seem to be the bottleneck on my things, which is another reason I've steered away. It seems like RAM and the video card hit their limits before the proc does.
