In this CheckPoint I want to briefly touch on how to lower the maximum operating temperature for overclocked Arrow Lake CPUs.
I want to address a common question from viewers, "Why are the temperatures so high in your overclocking guides?" and more importantly, "How can I limit those temperatures while still getting great performance?"
Many readers notice the high CPU temperatures during worst-case stress testing in my overclocking strategies, and while those temperatures are within spec, they’re understandably concerning to some.
