is OverClocking the i165 worth it?

Hey guys,

 

I'm wondering if any of you have found success with overclocking the i165.

 

What I mean is if you've gotten significantly more performance out of it, because I tried and did not achieve more than some inconsistent 2% ish boosts in CPU speed and, perhaps, a few frames more per second from the GPU at the expense of a lot more fan noise (though still at full volume it wasn't a big deal - i just think that the tradeoff of silence for a few less frames is worth it).

I thought about -- for about two seconds. I don't think the real-world returns are worth the increased thermals and noise, much less the risk of premature failure of hardware that would be very difficult, if not impossible, to replace. I bought this PC because it's a great piece of engineering -- (apart from swapping the HDD for an SSD) me tinkering with it isn't going to materially improve it.
