It's being reported that Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake desktop gaming CPUs could be easier to keep cool, and thus to overclock, thanks to a new mounting system. The new Intel Arrow Lake RL-ILM reportedly system puts less strain on the chip than the current LGA1700 mount, meaning it stays flatter and makes better contact with typical CPU coolers.
Although Intel's current best gaming CPU options are able to be cooled well enough, it can take special measures to get the best from the chips. For instance, we've seen how Noctua has had to engineer a specific variant of its new NH-D15 G2 cooler with a more convex base plate in order to cool Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th gen chips properly.
