Cant wait for my antique antec PSU to come back, so i can throw the 980 in there

I've got a BestTec we can throw in there to make it worse. Small overclock on a FX-6200 didn't do it in yet.

Ohhh, so it's like drinking yourself sober. They say everything in life moves in cycles. So it's a matter of if you're closer to worst end, it's quicker to keep going in the same direction than to double back. Double-down is the wise-man's checkers.

You need to go all peanutbutter thermal paste and then it'll at least smell interesting when it catches fire.

I.. i can do that. I have the hardware.

Mussels · Jul 15, 2020

Nah, i'm too lazy to take the PB out and put MX-4 back in later

Do it toothy. DO it.

It was sitting on a FX-6200 and GT7800 when I jumped the power and heard some sizzling. There was some instant burning in there and now I really want to see hard far it'll burn (with nothing attached of course)

Do it, this IS The bad ideas build thread.

Just like... put it on a strip of carpet over a bucket of water, and keep your feet in the water or something?

I'll need to grab an extension cable but I do have a full garage to play in.

Tuned in the OC properly, 3.85GHz at 1.35v

Not bad at all for a 'crappy' first gen ryzen, scores around 1900 in Cinebench R20

You do know that at 1.375v-1.4v it'll do an all core of 4ghz, right? And without creating too much heat...

I have to agree, do it! Take pictures/video! This is the perfect thread for it!!

EDIT; @Mussels Why do I have three individual posts instead of them being auto-merged as usual? Forum glitch??

Syrensilly · Jul 16, 2020

I found an actual fire hazard PC yesterday...in my living room! Thought I'd share the fun lol

My son's pc suddenly let all the smoke out!

I hope I have the right spot, I couldn't find a real PC fails type place for threads in the forums. My son's build is actually an old case we had lying around, and we tossed in my fiance's old parts (I5 and ddr3 is about all I know on it.) Yesterday I was sitting on the living room floor...

Nah she's not stable, i can post and hit windows upto 4.1GHz but even at 1.4V+, on three mobos so far she just black screen crashes under all core load.

1.35v works for 3.85, even 1.45V wont get higher than that
