Closing thoughts on overclocked gaming PCs
Nowadays, computer components are so powerful that overclocking isn’t as necesary anymore as they used to be.
However, gamers that want to benefit from the best performance from their rig will probably be the ones that could benefit most from overclocking.
If you do decide on buying an overclocked computer, or decide to overclock the one you already have, make sure you can also provide it with some additional cooling methods. This is because overclocked components have a tendency to heat up quite a lot, and insufficient cooling might cause them to burn out very fast.
