Dinos22 filming with the Good Game crew one evening.
I recently did a story for Good Game on extreme overclocking (although I can’t help by refer to it as XTREME OVERCLOCKING — capitals and all — most of the time), and learned an incredible amount about CPU tweaking.
Coming into this story, I wasn’t completely clueless. I had encountered overclocking a while ago at various tech demonstrations that I attended, and I attempted to overclock my own PC as research. While I didn’t have access to liquid nitrogen or other extreme cooling methods, I did go into the BIOS and change a few numbers to make everything run a little faster. In fact, I was so good at it that I somehow managed to destablise my system and had to quickly go back and undo all the work I did. Skillz.
It was great meeting the southern hemisphere’s best overclockers — they were all incredibly friendly and had a wealth of knowledge to share. While I don’t see myself being converted into an XTREME OVERCLOCKER any time soon, I am toying with the idea of learning to overclock properly so that I can run games faster on my PC without things destablising and freaking the shit out of me.
If you’d like to watch the complete story, head over to the Good Game website. Australian viewers can stream it directly; those outside of Australia will have to download the episode. I’d be keen to hear about your own overclocking adventures. All tips and words of wisdom are more than welcome!
