I wouldn't trust an overclocked system as a server or to compile. Especially not long term w degradation. Can't use it for CAD bc it'll mess up the PCIe timings I think. Looks like a giant waste of time and money to me, but sure to each their own. I bet it's difficult, but seems also pointless. If they were really knowledgeable they'd get out an FPGA and go design their own SoC instead of filing down intel's for a speed bump. Just not relevant today

Again bringing it back to the drag racing analogy… you wouldn’t commute to work in a drag racer. Thats not the point. The point is to push the hardware to the point of absurdity, just like drag racing.
If extreme overlocking isn’t for you then that’s fine.

PCIe issues are only really a thing with BCLK overclocking on systems that lack a secondary external clock generator. BCLK overclocking is a pretty uncommon practice that isn’t practical for day to day usage.
