it seems you're an oldfag who hasn't kept up with the times... anon-san

overclocking has been dead for 7 years, there's no point in doing it anymore, the average CPU's stock boost curve can reach 6GHz+, there's a reason just about every business related to overclocking or cherrypicking CPU SKUs has gone out of business, it's literally of no use, if you're EXTREMELY lucky you might get... 5% more performance? at a 50W+ increase, it's inefficient as all hell, and mind you, you need a golden die for this kind of OC gain

on the other hand, undervolting isn't schizophrenic, because it's a real tangible performance gain which makes your system run cooler and quieter, for whatever reason, all CPU manufacturers (even the ARM people) have been overvolting CPUs out of box, just enough for it to edge on stability (Intel ended up regretting this with the 13th stability issues)

its especially bad on laptops, where you can shave off 30-50W of unneeded power consumption and gain 7% performance for free by setting your own CPU states in XTU or ThrottleStop, on desktop, the performance gains are minimal, but you can still shave off up to 100W~ with no measurable impact on performance with the higher-end NVIDIA cards
