    I messed around with overclocking, then quickly realized that a 5% performance bump is not necessary and comes at the cost of component lifespan and power consumption. Stock is always more than enough (unless it's like a core 2 duo or something).

      That heavily depends on the processor and application. Back in the DDR3 days, you could easily see a 50% higher frame rate from an overclock. Even now gpu overclocking has similar results, although it's a bit more involved.
