Well if that's the case, than you can't claim electromigration can be a problem during the lifespan of a CPU without specialized tools. So checkmate, my point still stands. The 8700k in my sig has been running at between 5GHz with AVX offset and 4.8GHz without AVX offset since 2018, all cores...

BBC Model B with 6502 @ 2MHz says hello, the secondary 6502 expansion at 3MHz gives a fist pump. EDIT: MHz...Not GHz.

... Keep vcore and temps within acceptable limits and electromigration simply isn't a problem.

So CPU's degrade as a result of overclocking, but you need pretty specialized equipment to measure the degradation... ...Yeah, no. In the time I owned each and every overclocked CPU, by the time I was ready to pass that CPU on it was still running perfectly with no observable degradation...

I've been overclocking since the Celeron 300a days, possibly earlier if you consider I have a Commodore Amiga running an overclocked 68030 25MHz @ 40MHz. I've never encountered any degradation as a result of overclocking in all the years I've been doing it.

Holy hell...1.6v vcore? I find it ironic that we moved away from Netburst and back to the P6 architecture due to power consumption/thermal issues, and now here we are with processors that run as micro furnaces to the point that an AIO is a minimum necessity.

I love Michael Mann Movies. Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice & Blackhat are all awesome films. The shootout in Heat is simply breathtaking, as well as auditory bliss; while the night club scene in Collateral is possibly one of Tom Cruze's best performances as a calculating sociopath - Right down to...

C'mon, the younger generation have sound bars...[/s] ;)

I still love making mixed tapes from vinyl.

My 8700k, which is roughly the same era as the 1700x, has been running @ 4.8Ghz all cores synced with the power limit maxed out and AVX offset disabled since day dot - No problems at all. In game, all cores/threads hit a full 4.8Ghz and stay there.

Sorry my friend, I avoid VM's with GPU passthrough - Proton/DXVK/VKD3D is enough for me these days. Many platforms, like Roblox, detect if they're being run in a VM and refuse to run anyway. Certain client side anticheat solutions also detect if they're running in a VM and either refuse to run...

Honestly? You seem to have more of a problem with the fact that I'm claiming that it's entirely possible that one can use Linux daily with few issues whatsoever, than myself having an apparent problem with the unfounded belief that people 'must have' Photoshop and MS Office. But you do you...

Not really - and no, it doesn't bother me that there's people out there that believe they need Windows. But, moving on...

I'm not being ridiculous for no reason at all - The vast majority of Windows users 'do not' need Photoshop. Furthermore, I do not know you at all. Many accounting packages are now available online, accessible via your browser. The number of issues I've dealt with regarding client side...

The point being: Most don't need Photoshop or MS Office. It's an over hyped point of contention. As stated, considering ISO standards, MS Office is the least compatible office suite marketed as the most compatible. I don't know one person that 'needs' either MS Office or Photoshop.
