CPU manufacturers like Intel lock the frequency of some models of their lineup for added stability. The second thing you need for overclocking is a CPU that has an unlocked frequency. And if the cooler is severely limited, the system will eventually shut down to protect the components. If your cooler is not good enough, this excess heat will cause your CPU to thermal throttle, reducing its performance. And more power equals more heat generation. When you increase the CPU frequency, the CPU draws in more power.

Refer to attached images for benchmark scores and additional information as it pertains to.

So, before you jump head-first and put a massive overclock on the processor, make sure you know the risks and how to minimize them. dont expect anything closer from the intel counterparts. In other words, by overclocking the CPU, you are assuming the risk of general system instability and even component death. Its not 8K video on 6 screens mosaic but 720p on 24 inch monitor is just fine.Overclocking is the process by which you increase the CPU frequency beyond the standard, manufacturer-decided frequency. The point being that people can game on a T1700 with DDR3 and Xeon and Quadro K2200. Thats why an Optiplex 780 with core 2 quad processor and 8 gigs of ram works fine with a GT1030 and games like GTA 5 and Fortnite. I have older systems from 2006 with pentium D945 cpu like XPS 400 but DDR2 and Netburst is just wayy too slow for modern gpus and quad core is as low as you want to go to get reasonable frame rates even at 720P aka 1366 x 768. Using the Vaccuum tube reference was just to indicate that its very old.

I used the Mosetup method on my T1700 because it has TPM 1.2 and secure boot capability. There are no rules in the worldrecord ranking, you can use unreleased hardware, engineering samples, etc. Its main value being you do not have to buy a $200 windows 10 or windows 11 pro licence because you can get 10 to install and activate then upgrade your 11 or use RUFUS 3.17 and make a USB installer from WIN11 ISO and install that. The T1700 is from 2012 and has Windows 8.0 bios key.

Which is why I know about ATT Unix and Microsoft Xenix and CPM etc. Really old and from well before MSDOS from 1981 or the Apple II OS from 1977.
