You may want to take a look at some of the sleuthing Wendell over on Level1Techs did.
He was able to identify a large group of CPUs used in W680 chipset motherboards (i.e. using stock Intel power curves, never seeing a lick of overclocking/overvolting) which exhibited issues.
It would seem enthusiast ricing is, at best, an aggravating factor to some other underlying cause.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 2y agoThe large group of W680 are the game servers running 13900 & 14900.
- necheffa 2y agoIs this just an informational statement or were you trying to highlight a perceived shortcoming of what I had said? If the latter, I am afraid I don't see the point you are hinting at and need more clarification.
- mafuy 2y agoYou misunderstood. Some modern CPUs are designed to overclock themselves. The user does not have to do it anymore. It happens automatically.
- necheffa 2y agoIt isn't "overclocking" if you conform to the Intel specification. What you are getting at is Turbo boost, which is not a new thing. We can split hairs over the incremental enhancements to Turbo boost over the years of course.
