Ok, I've signed up specifically to make this one suggestion, I think it's quite fun.
 
Extreme CPU overclocking - Feldspar method
The main problem with CPU overclocking is thermal throttling - when your CPU gets too hot, on-chip thermal sensor detects that and adjusts clock speeds to cool it down, which results in performance drops. The conventional way of dealing with this is to provide sufficient cooling, so your CPU stays within certain thermal threshold. Now, let me present you the alternative - Feldspar method (named after a character from Outer Wilds).
Assuming we are air-cooled:
We attach the beefiest heat sink to the CPU; We adjust fan curves to blast at max speeds at all times; We remove CPU temp management or find a way to disable thermal sensors; We hope to pass benchmarks before your stone melts down; ... PROFIT (or fire, it depends) Bonus tip: remember to bring a fire extinguisher. Hypothesis: it might work for a short time, so we need to choose our benchmarks carefully.
