Anyone have any rituals or superstitions they believe in when they are overclocking? You know ask the computer gods to keep your processor safe through this episode of overclocking?

I personally ensure that I have my first processor somewhere near me whenever I overclock. I'm sure it has kept my processor safe because i've had my current one at 1.52 without any ill effects, and i was able to boot into 5002 MHz on my 3570k

Holy crap, what are your temps?

And with that high a voltage, you're probably only going to get 1 year of work out of that cpu

At 1.5v I'm surprised the chip didn't just shit itself.

What have you got it clocked at now?
