I realize that it's just luck of the draw, but that's the problem. I don't want luck to determine if my computer is going to overclock or not, and I sure as hell don't want to go through costly RMA processes to get new parts. I've had this happen to me with 3 or 4 different sets of PC parts...it's really annoying. Like Rawb said, you'll barely notice an increase in speed by OC'ing your processor. I believe it's better to pay extra and get a processor that doesn't need OC'ing!
OC'ing is fun, and when it works it's very rewarding. My main reasoning is that OC'ing is a lot of luck and most people won't admit it.
