I've spent way longer than that trying to install something that wasn't written for my system, trying all sorts of things until I got it up and running. I'm sure Dave will puff about how that would never happen in Windows. Truth is it wouldn't, the install would have failed in the first thirty seconds and and that would be it, no other options. Overclocking and undervolting are not big in the Linux community and are generally left to the BIOS.
