Hmm

A good idea on paper, but In real life I would think it would be unreliable and also, PC Chips makes some bad stuff.. at least in my experience..

same here, don't even touch anything pcchips makes. but it would look pretty spiffy if you just turned the knob and your system would be oc'ed

Or just accidently bumping the dial at night, and in the morning, when you boot up, you have a fried system.
Also, I don't think it would be very accurate, so it would be hard to get stable high clocks.

With the DigiDice, the overclock dial is only operational at boot and will only overclock 25%. After boot, the dial becomes a volume knob.

You also have the ability to disable it and choose your own overclock settings like normal in the bios. I think this is marketed mainly as a multimedia/entertainment pc.
