Franky I don't even see the need to overclock CPUs these days for gaming. In most games the GPU is still the bottleneck, not the CPU. So why overclock the CPU, if it is fast enough?
Overclocking often also means reducing the lifetime of the overclocked component... it doesn't mattered in the past, if you replaced your CPU every two years anyway for a faster model. But with the slow performance gains since sandy bridge, i5/i7 CPUs can be used for many years without the need of replacement... and in this scenario a shortened lifetime due to unnnecessary overclocking does matter eventually.
