i believe in a simple theory that with more time involved, the outcome is more rewarding. if it takes 20 minutes to find the max overclock, your probably going to be bored the rest of the weekend. but if you have 4 voltages, 3 multipliers, all the ram latencies, the base clock, and sweet spots that work well together, you can really have a weeks worth of fun getting every last percentage out of it.
