    You know liquid nitrogen cooling can get you some insane cinebench scores, but you can’t just pop a liquid nitrogen cooler in your PC and expect to boost your framerates. You need to disable so many safety things and if you don’t know why they were there in the first place you’re going to permanently damage your CPU.

    Archlinux is that but for software and because it’s software there’s no physical barrier to entry. Arch is powerful, but if you don’t know what you’re doing you’re better off with fedora or debian’s hand holding.

        If you actually measure voltages (I have), you’ll find out that that is not always true… in some cases, yes, in most cases, no. Depends from MB manufacturer and model. AMD chipsets usually allow this and the declared settings are what you can actually measure on the board. Intel though… nah, way too many failsafes in place to let you do whatever you want, even though the firmware will report that you’ve set it a certain way (Vcore = 2V, as in your case).
