That's a great question. I've got a hackmac with an i9-9900k that needs some optimizing. It was hitting 100C frequently until I changed some overclock settings, that's been remediated but I still haven't had a chance to optimize it. It appears most of the tools for measuring OC settings and benchmarking are PC-only, so that requires throwing up a Windows install alongside Mac OS - which I've done. Dual-booting required disconnecting all other hard-drives to install Windows onto a new drive. Which is a ridiculous requirement and not even related to Mac or hackintoshing, but to the Windows installers inability to install in the presence of any drives with bootable EFI partitions – I think. Off topic, but yeah, buy real Macs unless you have a lot of time to devote to fixing problems. Most of the time it's flawless. Upgrading and special cases are fun. I'd really like to see how the M1 compares to my current setup in my real world use.
