Overclocking causes instability. The only reason one takes expensive server hardware over normal PC hardware is because of its stability.. If you dont mind an instable server then you might as well build a rack with cheap PC hardware twice as fast and still save $400

Anyway the speed gained by overclocking vs. the instability it causes doesn't add up at all in my opinion. I'm running my normal PC also on safe speeds..

Having my photochop crash every 60 minutes for that 0.00001% extra speed no thank you.
