What this says to me is don't bother trying to super overclock a i9-9940X, Intel has already skimmed off the cream from that chip run.<p>It seems kind of scummy, but I guess otherwise your rare stable overclock chip might end up in some boring business server where it will always run at stock clocks. I do note that Intel still wants nothing to do with overclocked chips in their warranty department, even when they did the overclocking themselves.
