For real tho. What kind of bs OCing is lowering the voltage (curve) banking on the chip being good enough to run more efficiently to go faster.

And gone are the days when CPUs didn't have thermal throttling (for purely safety purposes, iirc those shitty early P4 were the first ones to have it). I fried the Thunderbird I mentioned when I was testing some coolers and accidentally ran it for like 5 seconds without the cooler on. Its still a nice ornament on my wall tho. And a reminder of my brainholes intellect. Also nostalgia.
