I can see if you have an extra PC laying around, and if you are going to be helping others do OC's and the numbers will help your resume, but if you OC your only PC and you take a few tests that puts 100% load on your rig, loads that you'll never possibly see outside of the tests, and pass them, beyond that why does anyone want to torture their rig.
Is there a real reason besides bragging rights.
I see many bragging about running a Prime 95 torture test for 24 hours, when I downloaded Prime 95 it said that it would find any OC errors very quickly.
I've had people tell me to try this or that torture test for ten minutes or 9 hours or 24 hours but really watch your temps as it really gets them up there.
If your voltages, and temps are within tolerances after a good full load test, and playing games or watching video's will never put that strain on your PC I think its pretty stupid to run asll these torture tests.
Why put your rig at risk running a 24 hour torture test when a 1 hour test will exceed any limits you'll ever reach under 99.9% of the computers lifespan?
