Intel says SSD overclocking is possible, will demonstrate at IDF 2013
2013-08-27 12:59:03| Extremetech
At the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel will perform the first public demonstration of an overclocked SSD. Details are very slim at the moment, but in theory it should work: Solid-state drives, like your DRAM or CPU, are driven by a clock -- it should be possible to boost an SSD's performance by meddling with that clock, or perhaps altering the timings. Whether the overclock reduces stability and data retention/integrity, though, remains to be seen.

It's time to step back from the metaphorical brink on the Windows 8 overclocking issue and see it for what it is -- a tiny bug that hits a tiny number of people.
Windows 8 banned by worlds top benchmarking and overclocking site

In an odd turn of events, Windows 8 has been banned from HWBot, one of the world's top benchmarking and overclocking communities. All existing benchmarks recorded by Windows 8 have been disqualified. This is due to a fault in Windows 8's real-time clock (RTC), which all benchmarking tools use as a baseline.
