it's not worth it to OC imo
I used to be a pretty hardcore modder and honestly it's just a pain in the ass, you lose the price difference in spending more on cooling and then there is labor costs (assuming you're like me and mentally charge yourself labor fees for the amount of time you're wasting not actually taking advantage of your free time to do what you really want to be doing)
not to mention your deliberately pushing up your electicity useage (not such an issue for one computer, but if you're like me, you're talking 3+ computers which can start turning those nickels and dimes to dollars.)
Also every time you change your board/cpu type, you'll risk having to make adjustments to your cooling set up which incurs even more costs.
I only spend the bare minimum on computers to get the games I want to play to run at 30-60fps anyways so I'm not really going to care too entirely much about cpu intensive stuff anyways. Rendering video or something usually means you're going to be at it for a few hours anyways so I usually take off and go do something so that those extra 15 minutes saved or whatever don't really apply to me.
