CPU overclockers hit a ceiling, and it happened about 17 years ago
The golden age of overclocking has long passed
The big picture: Intel recently invited two leading overclockers to its headquarters to discuss achieving the world's first 9 GHz CPU overclock. The duo of Pieter-Jan Plaisier (SkatterBencher) and Jon Sandström (ElmorLabs) also looked back at CPU frequency overclocking milestones along the way, highlighting an obvious wall that was hit roughly 17 years ago.

The new Zen 4 APU can benefit from extreme memory frequencies
It's possible to overclock SSDs, but you probably shouldn't
In a nutshell: Squeezing every bit of performance out of a PC – whether for sport or from a value position – is what overclocking is all about. Ramping up clock speeds, increasing voltage settings, and tightening memory timings are all common ways to make CPUs, GPUs, and memory run faster, but did you know it's technically possible to apply some of these same techniques to solid-state drives?
