I simply never get nice OCers
My P4s were trash, one would not even run Prime reliably at stock, all my TBreds as well, my E8400 was okay but degraded even without Volts, my Q6600 probably was the worst OCer on earth and my Q9650 was at least not bad. Same goes for graphics cards
The Barton I own which did nearly 3GHZ on air was not bought by myself so that does say a lot for future purchases
Thats a lot of bad luck there. Seems odd to me nothing would OC well.
Maybe some poor home wiring?
