Takes me back! in 2008 I had a Q9550 3. 625GHz running super quiet on a Tuniq Tower 120, the highest i got it running rock solid was 4. 05GHz but with the fan and thermals getting higher than i felt comfortable around 80c overnight running prime 95. Paired it with 8GB 1150MHz CAS 5-5-5-11 ram and a HD 4850 that i volt-moded and i think ran at 850MHz with a 4 heat pipe CPU cooler i took out an HP business PC lol, the GPU was also whisper quiet at full load over hours of use. Also had a 120GB SandDisk Extreme wiff dat SATA 2 connection and a 1TB WD Black drive; -) FYI, I lapped the CPU and heatsink to a mirror finish with Artic silver 5, which i needed just a pea size that still got mostly mushed out anyway because of how flat the two surfaces were against each other.

Man, it made me cringe so hard seeing you guys completely lost in that BIOS settings. Unfortunately I didn't watch this video live. I could have helped you setup and overclock your system. I upgraded two months ago from my very own Striker II Extreme, Core 2 Quad Q9450, 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz, to a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU running on a Gigabyte X570 AORUS Elite with 16 GB Kingston HyperX Predator 3600 CL16 memory. Can you imagine the feeling? I tried Cinebench r20 on my previous setup and it reached 163 points in multi-threaded mode. My Ryzen 3000 series easily reached 3830 points. That's the scale of my upgrade. 23. 5x the score. Thanks GN for the great vids and the great work!

WOW! This brings back some nostalgic memories. I had the original Striker Extreme, and they had an LED lit I/O shield too, and if I remember correctly, it also had an LED readout for info too. I went for the EVGA 780i SLI(with the chipset fan add-on) after, and I still have that with the Q6600 G0 stepping(24/7 4. 2GHz) and 4GB's of the Ballistix LED RAM and 2GB's of the SLI RAM sticks too. My mothers PC has the watercooled KFA2 GTX 470 that I was using with that mobo but I still have the Sparkle 8800GT that I was using with the Striker mobo though. Can't wait to see the bench scores.

G'day Steve, Patrick & Kegan (hope I spelt that right, That is a cool old system, although it is running really slow compared to my Q9650 using an SSD, I am running Windows XP on mine so maybe W10 is using more resources, with the Core 2 Quad you OC the Frequency if the Multiplier is at Max & adjust the Memory to CPU link Ratio for memory Frequency, although from memory the Xtreme have an unlocked multiplier, I would like to see an OC stream for the system P. s. is Joe coming on Saturday or Sunday? i'll have to get up early here in Australia

do you think the cmos was still giving power to the board? I know i recently messed up ryzen master settings and it took me like 5 hours to figure out i needed to put a jumper on jbat to reset it. idk much really about electrical engineering outside of phy101 just know you don't want to bridge points to over amp or over volt resistors, or if some of the components on the board still hold a charge, like with a psu, for the distilled water on the board and the ultrasonic cleaner.

Gimli, I am seriously fascinated about what your life will be like when you at some point get a haircut. I'm not even saying I am in favor of that. I'm just saying it's coming, and I wonder what else will come with that for you, like needing to hit the gym because you don't have fantastic chick-hair anymore. I've been a young dude with terrific long hair, although mine was not nearly as glorious as yours. It's great hair you have, it's just on a timer, that's all I'm saying.

I have a Q6600 running at 3. 00GHz on a Abit AB9 Pro w/ 2x2GB RAM at stock. I tried getting the Q6600 at 3. 15/3. 20 but windows crashes, and BSoD when i put more than 1. 4v in the core. so i might change the cooling (it's on air for the moment, zalmann old one lol, any ideas or advices? PS: yeah i know this is not a forum but whatever i think there are a lot of good overclockers here and i love this community

Just a quick minor correction here Steve, nvidia keeps their hardware in more up to date drivers but they do not optimize or add any support for them for very long usually only until the generation after the following launches the cards from two gen old get no love anymore. Just because the card is in drivers from 2019 doesn't mean it's had any updates at all since 2013, OS compatibility aside.

It's widely understood all ASUS motherboards require a blood sacrifice prior to or during assembly. I too bled for both a ROG STRIX B350-F Gaming & an ASUS M5A97 R2. 0 motherboard (yes. FX series, I had a 6300 and a 8350. My ancient ASUS X5DIJ (K50 series laptop) has had a blood letting too during the 5 or so repairs i've made to it

This just proves the effort companies used to go through and quality, now they give us garbage. here let's slap a block on the vrm's and call it a day. we dont have time to cut slots in them for better efficiency, they are lucky we even give them blocks anymore! Companies are just lazy incompetent thieves anymore
