Hello Overclocking Community :)

Been a while, but what's the latest on overclocking? Any good chips on the market that are good with sub zero cooling?
What's the Latest on GPU's and cooling response?
Overclocking Motherboards? Is anyone still modding Motherboards and GPU's for extra voltages?

Thanks for any input for an OG looking to get back into this :)

Cheers
 
With cpu's already clocked almost to death straight from the factory overclocking is as good as dead. What's the point of throwing voltage at a cpu/gpu just for a couple of extra FPS and a lot of extra heat and power draw? Undervolting is where it's at now. Less voltage means less heat and power draw and higher boost clocks and for longer periods.
 
Thanks for the reply, aren't people still doing LN cooling for fastest processor? It is the same as, say, drag racing, all about the speed and power. No real point to it, just pushing the envelope.

The name bulldog rings a bell from years ago, not sure if you're the same one but hwbot still exists and there's still a bunch of stuff happening, UK scene isn't as big as it once was I don't think (I'm no longer active at least so haven't kept up) but you can still get involved for sure.
 
Thanks for the reply. Yes I use to overclock, started with Vapochills, one the first to hit 5Gz back in the day. Gave up because of kids etc, they are all grown up now and looking for something to do I enjoy. I notice some are on the hunt for 10ghz.
 
LN2 is still a thing at ultra extreme levels, for everyone else though manual overclocking is near dead
Yes getting as much heat away as possible will help with keeping stock boosts stable, but for GPU's most are power limited at anything aproaching liquid cooling temps and CPU's are already pretty close to maxed

In short unless you are going ultra extreme, waterblocks and couple 360 rads and youl be power limited way before your heat limited

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by power limited before heat?

Most GPU's are limited by power not heat these days, without shunt mods most of the bios' limit how much power a gpu can pull, this usually tops out way before you start running into heat issues
