| Component | Verification command | Expected output | |-----------|---------------------|------------------| | CPU ratio | lscpu \| grep "CPU max MHz" | ≤ nominal turbo max | | BCLK (base clock) | sudo dmidecode -t processor \| grep "Current Speed" | Same as non-OC | | Core voltage | sensors (coretemp) | ≤ VID maximum per datasheet | | Memory | decode-dimms | Frequency = JEDEC std, not XMP/EXPO | | GPU | nvidia-smi -q \| grep "Clocks" | Graphics = default max |
This is the most common method.
