There is absolutely no reason to overclock the GPU. These things are so strong now, why make more heat when you don't need to. The same can be said for today's CPUs, unless you like producing more heat for a few more FPS.................. that you will NEVER notice.
My opinion, but I believe many feel the same way. It's your choice however, get what you want.

Originally posted by Cretae fwfdfireman is absolutely correct. The days of overclocking to get where you wish you could be if the tech were juuusst a little better are completely over. The tech is actually better than you need it to be if you have the right parts. By the way, Storage Set 1 is NOT the right part. An NVMe SSD in there is 5 times faster than the SATA part you've got. Complete game changer for the OS.

Yep that's why i didn't overclock.

Good point on the Storage set 1, I will change it.

 

You're just standing in line, is all. Gotta be close to the head of it.

Stay strong LOL Woohoo

Seems you ordered at about the precise point in time that AMD started to miss their shipments, and the supply of the 5900s completely stopped for awhile. Admire your patience, PNY_GUY. I wish you all the best!

UPDATE..

(51) business days and a lot of waiting....... and it has Shipped.

Just as its about to Snow in the Pacific Northwest...

Here is to a safe and swift journey to me, Its due on Sunday, so Fingers Crossed.
