    Most people don’t consider enabling the advertised memory clock speeds as an overclock.

    We aren’t talking about taking your CPU and overclocking it. We’re talking about a simple UEFI checkbox that everyone is told to do.

      Who the fuck is “we” here? Because the article is about CPU overlocking. I don’t give a fuck about the parent comments offhand comment about Intel. Intel is irrelevant here.

      Your comment I replied to was about reviewer CPU benchmarks.

        Who the fuck is we is literally the entire industry. Intel, AMD, every reviewer I have ever seen. Everyone.

        Seriously, look at ANY review. They’re all done with XMP or DOCP profiles set, just as the CPU manufacturer, motherboard manufacturer, and memory manufacturer recommends.

        I don’t give a fuck about what your offhand opinions are, I’m taking a out the reality. And the reality is that

        Your comment I replied to was about reviewer CPU benchmarks.

        …

        You know memory speed impacts CPU performance right?

            So have you just abandoned what you said above, or are you just ignoring it?

            AMD doesn’t consider it CPU overclocking, no. Intel does. That’s what I was replying to, as you very well know.

            Meanwhile Intel will void your warranty if you’ve enabled XMP.

              Intel is not in the article. Literally nothing about this post is about Intel other than an offhand remark about XMP.

              The article is about AMD CPUs. I could not give a flying fuck about Intel.

                I’m replying to the comment. In case you haven’t noticed this is a public discussion, and when talking about AMD CPUs, it’s common to bring up their only competitor, Intel CPUs.

                If you didn’t want to talk about intel CPUs, don’t reply to a comment about intel CPUs. You inserted yourself into this discussion about Intel’s practices then got angry that we were talking about Intel. Amazing.

                It’s a very reasonable thing to happen in a discussion. Do you know how those work? Talk about AMD leads to talk about Intel. It’s not rocket science. You don’t need to come in and start screaming that Intel is a forbidden topic.

                Seems to me like you’re just grasping for something after I dismissed your comment as nonsense.
