            No way. I have one that's underclocked. Overclocking means you're trading reliability for CPU and possibly FSB speed. Neither CPU nor FSB is the bottleneck for a server in 99% of cases, so there would be NO benefit to overclocking them. You'd only be losing reliability for no gain.

                My home computer has an i5 2500k overclocked to 5.0GHz but no way in hell would I overclock an important server.

                  I wouldn't overclock a server. If you need more speed you should upgrade to a faster box.

                        That is the dumbest idea ever in the history of our earth
                        Overclocking a web server

                        In so many ways

                          What Ray said!

                          A little less traditional as a server, but something like one of the new core i7-2700k processors or even the new X ones would give just about the highest performance for least $. Considerations still include chassis heat removal/airflow and not using ECC memory.

                          Cheers,

                            Tawni Stone died when she overclocked her server.

                              From my experience a 3 ghz chip overclocked to 4ghz is going to be faster than a 4ghz at stock clocks. I was also talking about non server hardware being used too. Wouldn't overclock server hardware.
