I9-14900ks overclock????

[JDavis]

Intel replaced my cpu with a new one. new one has only operated with the new bios updates including all microcode fixes. is it now safe to overclock the cpu since the 'issues' have been fixed?

Hello Jdavis,

I am pleased to hear that your CPU has been successfully replaced. If the replacement unit is functioning without any issues, it indicates that the microcode update is compatible with it. Regarding the safety of overclocking the CPU, please be aware that modifying the clock frequency or voltage may void product warranties and could negatively impact the stability, security, performance, and lifespan of the processor and other components. 

If you are considering overclocking the CPU to enhance performance further, you may proceed, but please be aware that it is at your own risk.

My new cpu is operating without issue since installed. I've decided against any overclocking as I don't want to risk any cpu damage. Although I bought the KS version for that reason, there have been too many issues with the cpu for me to attempt overclocking.
