Liquid metal still voids warranty for Intel's crash-prone Raptor Lake CPUs
Liquid metal corrosion removes vital CPU markings
The big picture: Enthusiasts looking to push their high-end Raptor Lake or Raptor Lake Refresh Intel processors to the limits might want to think twice before using liquid metal thermal paste. According to a recent report, Intel is voiding warranties for CPUs cooled with this favorite material of overclockers, even if the processors are suffering from crashing issues.

Nvidia app update adds warranty-safe, 1-click GPU overclocking and improved gameplay recording
In a nutshell: Nvidia is rolling out a new beta version of its app tomorrow that should appeal to those who like to overclock their GPUs – without worrying about voiding the warranty – and record their gameplay. The company is also giving away rewards to users, including three months of free Game Pass for PC access.
CPU overclockers hit a ceiling, and it happened about 17 years ago
The golden age of overclocking has long passed
The big picture: Intel recently invited two leading overclockers to its headquarters to discuss achieving the world's first 9 GHz CPU overclock. The duo of Pieter-Jan Plaisier (SkatterBencher) and Jon Sandström (ElmorLabs) also looked back at CPU frequency overclocking milestones along the way, highlighting an obvious wall that was hit roughly 17 years ago.
Intel CPUs Are Crashing and It's Intel's Fault: Intel Baseline Profile Benchmark
For years, we have highlighted Intel's loosely defined CPU power specs and the problems they pose for customers. The issue now is that some 13th and 14th-gen processors have started crashing.

Overclocking the Ryzen 7 8700G's integrated Radeon 780M graphics
Not a ton of overclocking headroom on the iGPU
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G tested with overclocked DDR5 memory
The new Zen 4 APU can benefit from extreme memory frequencies
It's possible to overclock SSDs, but you probably shouldn't
In a nutshell: Squeezing every bit of performance out of a PC – whether for sport or from a value position – is what overclocking is all about. Ramping up clock speeds, increasing voltage settings, and tightening memory timings are all common ways to make CPUs, GPUs, and memory run faster, but did you know it's technically possible to apply some of these same techniques to solid-state drives?
