I have a mild OC on my main rig. It's stable. I'm going to be wiping and reloading every damn thing :)|) later tonight. Should I reset everything back to default speeds?

I had one system a while back that was 100% rock solid overclocked, but would crash every time I tried to install win98. I had to remove some RAM and downclock before it would install correctly. Theres probably like a one in a million chance you'll have problems installing on a rock solid system.

Some people have had lockups or freezes of the OS on install overclocked and others have not,so I guess the best way would be to do the install at default speed ,as icecool83 said " better safe then sorry".
