overclocking the balls out of my old pc

in this video i add 1 ghz and about 6 volts to the cpu and see how she handles

You're forcing an old volkswagen to go as fast as a lambo😂

"Remember when BIOS looked like this?" Mine still looks like that :(

[Azbot]

"remember when BIOS's looked like this?" yes mate, yes. even my 2023 acer nitro V15 has one of those looking bios's

"It doesn't even freaking last long enough"
That's what she said.

If this video hits 15, 000 views, I am gonna try to take this pc out in the cold -30c canadian weather and water cool it and see if we can get 4.5 stable


Also it was running at 4.2, the bclk is ever so slightly higher than what I set it to

[TL-dsxd]

My reaction to that thumbnail was of an underscribeable fear.

[white_mage]

that shitty old stock cooler is so good amd still makes them. its called wraith prism now. its just a little bigger than those older models. that one is rated for 120w btw.

Now this is the kind of tech videos I like to watch…

This dude's editing is just peak!

These days I am more likely to underclock than overclock. In the past, risking a component was a tradeoff for money potentially saved. It was a gamble, like if you had a 266MHz Celeron that overclocked stable to 400MHz. But now components degrade and stability is all that remains. Want faster? Just build the next gen! Overlocking risks the parts for no payoff (other than content for youtube). Last thing I overclocked was a 486 from 133MHz DX5 to 160MHz and it was stable, but power supply failed for unrelated reasons. Retro is fun, as long as you have spares and don't mind periodically having to re-fix the same things over and over. Modern CPU's? Just let BIOS auto-tune and it's good enough. Nobody counts frames anymore. Everything is good enough... blah blah blah... damn hardware.

Dude that is just crazy😮
Keep the good work up 👍

[andrewpcs-n-vlogs]

very fun fact:
In 2012, Jacksepticeye used this exact cpu at 3.6 ghz


Not too long after he upgraded to an intel i5 3570k

intel labgoons pushing 13th and 14th gen to the breaking point: 🗿

[Lzun]

holy moly this video is good man how u are only at like 580 subs? this content is good

[clarysshow]

I clicked on the video just to say that finally there's someone who could actually run crysis❤️ hence the debate has been settled once and for all

[ahmadayman]

Amazing video make one on that i7 too :D!!!!

I've had a X6 1090T back in 2018. It was a pretty decent chip, managed to get 4.1GHz out of it, R6 Siege was running at around ~80FPS.
Funny thing is, the Phenom II was actually faster in a lot of games than the newer, first gen FX. Sadly tho, it lacks lot of instruction sets, even SSE4.1/4.2

[josephmills]

Amd fx held the record 9ghz i believe up till last year.

[connors]

you can use the PA120SE on am3+ as am3+ has the same dimensions as am4 and am5. also the phenom CPUs are weirdly resilient. i cooked a piece of meat on the ihs of a phenom ii x4 810, and it still runs in my little cousin's build
