OC won't blow your CPU up. CPUs are probably the least likely part to die on your computer.

You overclock shitty cheap hardware to make it work like good hardware

>and risk blowing it up
this risk is so small as to be negligible. your system will become unstable long, long before it is at risk of damage. If it is unstable, just reset the CMOS data.
>for a gain of 2fps in your vidyagames?
you can easily make a larger gain than that.

pretty much the conclusion I've come to is that overclocking just isn't worth effort of having to trial and error stability check, considering how fast modern hardware is anyway.
At the end of yhe day, who knows if your prime95/linpack/whatever stable oc is ACTUALLY stable.
That said, I still like doing it - have been since my k6-2 days.

Reee

I oveclock my potato gtx 750 ti for 20 fps more in Overwutch

CPUs can run indefinitely if you just don't turn them off

in fact, they get more reliable the longer you overclock them due to annealing

What the hell is that?
