I still wouldn't do it unless it was necessary. Even today, an i9-9900k (3.6ghz and 5.0ghz with turboboost) is plenty for just about anything you throw at it. Maybe someday, when it starts to bog down on games, overclocking might be in my thoughts, but.. probably not. :)

Nor is there a need to do so. Again, most people overclock if their hardware isn't able to handle newer things, or they're just wanting to brag about what they can get out of their processor.

Regards,
Nick

.... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
