[h=2]What you need to know[/h]
  • Some folks have been toying with the idea of overclocking Non-K Alder Lake CPUs.
  • Intel has said this is a bad idea.
  • Not only does Intel say overclocking these processors isn't covered by warranty, but it's also straight-up not recommended as it runs the risk of damaging the hardware and destabilizing the system at large.
Where there's a will, there's a way. And where there's a way, there's a voided warranty and a damaged processor with a reduced lifespan.
