Overclocking and Windows

[stuff311]

Lately, I've noticed a bunch of questions about windows stability after overclocking, and that most of these questions stem from the fact people aren't aware that the process can corrupt windows.

I've read through the overclock guides and such, but I didn't see anywhere that it recommended installing a clean windows after you reach your final overclock, to avoid dealing with a corrupted OS.

Is there a way we could update the stickied guides to show this information? What do you guys think?

PM the OP of the stickied guide and ask them to add it.

Personally, I like to keep a 2nd HDD seperate from my main one that has a clean junk windows install on that I use for torchering. That way if it gets corrupted, o-well. Plus I keep a DVD image of it so it's easy to restore.
