Best CPU Cooler Performance Q2-2010 @ Benchmark Reviews

Why do we overclock? It's really a very simple question, but one that has found new meaning over the years.

Today the market is different, and overclocking the processor could result in very little additional performance. With so many dual-, quad-, and hexa-core processors now sold on the open market, overclocking has transformed itself from a tool to help people work faster, into a hobby for enthusiasts.
