can't overclock even a little

How can bclk overclocking not be a thing anymore...lol wth it's always been a thing, like forever...is it just cause they've moved so much crap inside the processor finally that it risks damaging those parts too so no more?? I don't get that at all....wth

My Absolutely Horrifying Delidding Story (Long)
