If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

There are/were two reasons why I did that:

  • board manufacturers like to push the juice into the CPU to make benchmarks look good which is dangerous with these power sucking bricks, afaik this might be already patched in recent bioses but I am not risking it/lazy to tweak back
  • depending on the CPU piece you might achieve same performance with less power which is my case, I think I have Core Voltage set to something like Adaptive-0.080 which afaik is still pretty tame and the benchmark scores almost didn't move

I don't care about motherboard manufacturers letting you exceed Intel's limits, but I have a concern with that being the default, which it was on at least my Asus Z790 board's BIOS.
