What this page is
This page quotes r/overclocking's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-12. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/overclocking's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

What its rules say about promotion
Follow sitewide Reddiquette & Self-Promotion Rules
In particular remember to use the report function rather than responding in anger, and that civil language does not excuse nasty comments. [Link to reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette) [Link to self-promotion guidelines](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion)
All 7 rules of r/overclocking
- Posts should directly relate to overclocking
This subreddit is for links, discussions and questions about overclocking (and underclocking). More general hardware-related links, discussions and questions should be posted elsewhere, even if they happen to relate to a system that happens to be overclocked. In particular please avoid posts that are just system pictures, or amd vs intel/nvidia fanboy-bait. - Follow sitewide Reddiquette & Self-Promotion Rules

Posts must contain enough information for a meaningful discussion, or to be meaningful content. Don't post unsubstantiated rumours, screenshots with context cropped out, or AMAs (unless preapproved by mods). - Be sensible about what you claim as a world record
Check the [full description in the wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/wiki/rules#wiki_be_sensible_about_what_you_claim_as_a_.22world_record.22_or_similar) before making grand claims. You can be happy about a good result without using such charged language. - Do not tell people to run at unsafe settings.
You're welcome to run unsafe settings yourself, but respect [the safe voltages listed in the wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/wiki/faq#wiki_what_are_the_max_safe_voltages_and_temperatures_for...) when answering questions. - Do not advocate or discuss RMA fraud
If you break your hardware when overclocking, even by accident, that's on you. It is not a manufacturing defect. Don't tell people to try their luck - it's actually *illegal* - and don't ask for advice on covering up damage. It's fine to ask about what a warranty does or doesn't cover, as some companies do allow overclocking, but keep discussion to the intention of the warranty terms and not what you reckon could be got away with. This also goes for abusing return policies as a way to bin. - English language only
We're not able to provide moderation in languages other than English, so unfortunately we're unable to allow them. If you create an overclocking community for a different language, please [let us know](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Foverclocking) so we can link it in the sidebar.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
