To celebrate the nicest day of the year, 6/9, we recruited overclocker Splave to help us get a CPU up to 6.9GHz. A LOT of liquid nitrogen was used.

Couple points! Thank you Nikolay Pelov and linuxgeex At this low a voltage, the motherboard should never arc. Also, the true thermal barrier isn't even the increased resistance. It's the reduced impedance due to increased quantum tunnelling as temperature goes up, which increases leakage current, which is the majority source of the increased heat once you get into thermal runaway.
-
Allen is an absolute UNIT I guess he does only 2 things in life, lift and OC
-
Linus got jealous of Steve's giant well polished cylinder.
-
P-cores at 6.9GHz and E-cores at 4.2GHz. We're hitting all the nice numbers in this video.
-
I really like Splave. He's so chill and knowledgeable. Though, to be fair: most of Linus's crew has a unique and fun personality.
-
Loved this guy. He's got a gentle giant vibe to him
-
Splave is a massive guy. If I was a CPU I would simply overclock as high as he wanted me to
-
Splave is the sorta dude you'd want having your back in a rough alley and some sort of zen tournament of absolute controlled power
-
One of my favourite memories from my undergraduate is completely forgetting the project we were supposed to be doing and dunking everything we could find into liquid nitrogen, including a USB stick which we then transported via tongs to the computers and plugged in 😅
-
rumours are is that Splave didn't use nitrogen to cool the cpu, he just told it what he wanted and the cpu was too scared not to do anything else 💪😝
-
I love how the professional overclocker is standing there watching Linus explain what he does lol. He looks like he wants to jump in and explain it.
-
Speed of light is also a big limitation, 6.9 ghz means light can only travel 43mm (1.7 inches) per cycle, which is just insane. The size of the die is 20.5 mm × 10.5 mm, now that clock cycle is only within one core inside that CPU die, but still insane, you'll start to see why there isn't a much of room left.
-
That was the most chill dude I've ever seen. So soft spoken. So calm. It contrast well with Linus going "WEEeeEe" while pouring the liquid cold
-
8:13 He's got a great point. Overclocking the RGB to produce a wider color gamut is genius! LOL
-
gotta love how the record holder for one of the geekiest things on planet earth is like an absolute unit of a chad what a twist lol
-
Seeing a guy that looks more like a MMA fighter than a computer geek doing some serious overclocking to be considered one of the best overclockers over there is just refreshing to watch.
-
15:38 the "wheeeeee" and that look full of concern in the background 🙂
-
I sincerely hope that if a CPU manufacturer ever releases a SKU that can hit 6.9ghz, they’ll call it the ‘Nice’ edition.
-
I love how much fun Linus has been having lately.
-
watching Jay do liquid nitrogen overclocking was really fun so it's good to see you do a video like this! i wouldn't ever try this as i just have no desire to but it is enjoyable to watch
