Title: Does the overclocking community help Intel
Post by: bear95 on Fri, 11 July 2014, 00:29:31
Just a small thought that came up in my mind. Do you think Intel uses the overclock community playing around with its cpus for data? Or do they already know most of all the limits and benefits and aren't telling the community to avoid taking responsibility for mishaps?

Thats true but the thought came up because I assumed that there would be more people from intel in forums chipping in giving advice or stuff like that. But it seems like most people in forums writing guides have only previous overclocking experience and are experimenting from the start.

Ah. And I meant playing around with cpus like adjusting voltages and testing how different frequencies and voltages affect performanc e and stability.
