how much would you have to spend on average for more cooling to OC safely? i take it a fan is not enough (Especially in hotter places in the world)

If it were illegal, that would be another reason I would do it, cause, you know, computer geeks/nerds are rebels, aight?Get better performance out of my machine without spending money. And because I know how to and its not illegal (yet lol?).
I do it for the chicks
Because I can. Really it's abotu getting the most out of my hardware and thus the most for my money.
I'm with Dan_D on this, I do it because I can and if I don't I feel like I'm wasting the potential of my hardware.
what uses do u have for it, and do you see a noticeable difference? i'm getting a 2500k i5, since it is cheap @ 180$ or so, but do not know if it would help me to overclock (fairly new so do not want to fry my parts). i'd be just above average setting new gaming, intense tabbed browsing, watching vids and the general sort. not much photo editing, no video editing. heard that vga card is the bottleneck anyways, so what good is going for 2.8ghz to 4.5ghz?
Hobby of mine for the past 10 years. Free performance is fun. I mod anything I come across. Every vehicle I've owned has been modified, every computer is modified, every guitar is modified....stock is boring.
haha that's instant classicto win internets...
and to install a couple of these
that fan is ridiculous!

thanks guys. personally, 'because i can' would not do anything for me. if it is noticable that things are faster (details plz) then that would make me happy. otherwise, why make the processor generate extra heat/waste electricity for an imperceptible improvement? thanks, people who also added info on what they see were faster.
i dont understand "avoid bottlenecking the gpu"; isnt the gpu usually the bottleneck (as in processor speed usually is not the limiting factor)?
one ything i do notice is slow is on my laptop from 07, 1.8ghz core2 duo cpu T7100, when i open folders that contain a lot of files, it is REALLY slow for them to all show up. is this ram related, frequency related, gpu related or what? (thumbnails i enable too, as well as preview plane)
also, do any of u buy unlocked ones just so that when they begin to be outdated, u can overclock to match up to the new processors? i think that's a good adv.
Agree 100%.
I usually actually run my 1090T underclocked in Linux, my E5800 @ stock. The instabilities and issues with heat and or boards burning up simply isn't worth it for the gain I get out of it.
If you are having issues with instability and/or boards burning up you are doing something seriously wrong.
