But mainly, I think its because everything is "overclocker friendly" now. That activity used to be shunned by all the manufacturers. They would go out of their way to stop us. It no longer feels like the fringe, since options to overclock are included with everything now.

Indeed, overclocking used to be a black art (you try OC'ing an AMD K6-2!), now every man and his dog can do it, and heck you can even buy CPU's that overclock themselves ffs...

It's all become too commercial, the shark has been jumped long ago so to speak.
