Clock Speeds

Given the nature of the Aorus Elite AX we weren’t expecting to wring the taps on our Core i9 13900K, and so it proved. It is fine at stock but there isn’t much overhead for some manual fettling. To be honest the 13th Gen is so efficient at boosting itself that few of our motherboards have a massive potential for overclocking whilst still remaining within sane levels of cooling.
