Just because you want to constantly run a high amount of voltage compared to stock shouldn't make you tell other people that offset is dumb for overclocking.

going for a max OC using offset is silly. of course you do it when you find your max OC and idle 80% of the time
this guy hasnt finished OC yet. hes still testing. why would he use offset?
maybe get the full story before you go around calling people uninformed informers

Sorry then, I didn't get what you meant. Always OC using manual then when you get your stable voltage, go use offset. Offset usually needs more voltage because of the fluctuations so yea.
