Back then, I used to overclock the $hit out of my CPU. Any chance I could get to ramp it up I took.
This one I have now is the first one I haven't overclocked in at least a decade: i9 10900K.
I went from an i7 8700k running all cores at 5GHz to the i9 10900K running stock.
The reason was that I ran HWInfo and saw that it clocked to almost 5GHz on its own with single and dual-threaded workloads anyway. And given the 20 cores, it would hammer through anything that needed multicore.
In short, this is the first time I didn't feel the need to overclock.
