discussion Is undervolting/overclocking a common thing while rendering?

[Schlong]

What the title says...
I just got new hardware and it ran boiling hot with stock cooler and default settings.
Started to undervolt the CPU and now it runs equally fast, but consumes 25W less power and thereby is 25-30°C cooler.
Just thought I mention it here, because I remembered some dev stated they wouldn't post updates because of summer heat.

Yes, undervolting and overclocking are relatively common practices for users who engage in tasks like rendering, especially in scenarios where maximizing performance or reducing heat and power consumption is important.
