#overclocking

[blazehedgehog]

Was watching Sean Seanson's "Bad PS1 Games" video, and when he gets to The Simpsons Wrestling, he mentions how some of the game's visuals were forced on the developers by Fox executives and how it killed performance. A lightbulb went on over my head: Duckstation, a very nice Playstation emulator, can fix (or at least help) both of these things. You can overclock the PS1 for potentially higher framerates and use downsampling to smooth out rough edges without boosting the resolution and ruining the aesthetic.

So... here's The Simpsons Wrestling with both of those turned on. It surprisingly has no problem hitting 60fps, and, well, reveals a game that was kind of programmed with a poor framerate in mind, because now at 250% CPU overclock it kinda becomes unplayably fast.

Probably nobody will see this but I feel like I should share it anyway

Some trans friends of mine an ocean away are currently homeless (but thankfully not sleeping rough) in Texas. They're trying to raise money to move, particularly to get a vehicle that can pull their fifth wheel RV, so they can at least be homeless somewhere less hostile to trans people than texas and hopefully get things better from there.

I'm currently in the process of selling off as much of my computer hardware collection as I can to help raise funds, so on the fundraiser you'll see a lot of donations coming in from me as things sell on ebay.

I'm also going to be doing a competitive overclocking livestream (or potentially lengthy series of livestreams, we'll see how this goes), where I try to get 1 HWBOT point for every dollar raised (including my ongoing donations, and any stream proceeds - but the GFM is a better way to help, stream donos have fees). Those will be at twitch.tv/mickulty, with the first planned for midday UK time on Saturday 25th of January. With the fundraiser at $591 so far, it's going to be a long stream.

I'm not going to hard sell the fundraiser, I know how many people are out there who need help. But I wouldn't feel right if I didn't post about it either.

EDIT a bit after the stream: the fundraiser by this point is up to $955. About $200 of this came from my stream audience (ie the competitive overclocking community), $100ish is historical stream earnings that I've donated and $500 is money raised by me straight up selling my stuff. There's no way they're getting a truck to pull the 5th wheel, but they have other plans and should be OK. The first stream was 15 hours and I'm going to do another stream on Monday (5th of feb).

EDIT 2: After the second stream the fundraiser is up to $1125, also the second stream was 12 hours (4pm-4am). I've been through the plans with Benji (the organiser) to write a full update for my OC stream discord, which he's adapted for the gofundme page.

3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 + Noctua NF-A4x10 fan = overclocking

Or at least, it'll run a little cooler and hopefully add a few more years to the old girls life.

It's not that I need to overclock an old video card when I can easily use a newer card if I'd like more performance. It's more that by enhancing the cooling and seeing how much more performance is hidden in the device takes me back to my younger years when it became a way to saving a good chunk of money by investing in a cheaper CPU or video card and then squeezing out more FPS through some TLC.

The Voodoo 3 range runs pretty hot by default and don't feature any active cooling. So back in the day it was fairly common for people to slap on a fan in a basic way in order to try and cool down the card a little.

The Voodoo 3 2000 ran at 143Mhz (GPU & RAM) by default which typically gave it quite a lot of headroom for speeding up. Where as the Voodoo 3 3000 running at 166MHz was normally running close to it's limit. Those with a Voodoo 3 3500 were already at 183MHz and would be unlikely to squeeze much more out.

From research it seems that typically it's the memory on the cards that give out before the GPU. With memory chips being used with speed ratings ranging from 6ns, 5.5ns to even some 5ns. Those with lower ratings having more headroom to run at higher speeds.

So what could I get some my card? First up, let's attach that fan

The stock 3000 heatsink features two little holes at opposite ends which I thought would be perfect to looping a cable tie through. The first one went in without too much difficulty.

Unfortunately with the second I just couldn't squeeze the damn thing through. After much frustration I instead put a screw through the fan and used some pliers to squash the metal of the heatsink onto the thread of the screw.

Not as elegant as I would have liked, but it's held in place securely enough for my needs.

Once in the Pentium III mainboard it fits in nicely and thankfully doesn't hit the PCI header next to the AGP slot (Of course I checked this prior to securing the fan...)

So after all that, how much more performance does this card have to give?

I turned to Unreal, as it was already installed and felt like a suitable game for the era of the hardware and ran a timedemo at 1024x768 and 1280x1024 resolutions

An extra 14MHz gives an additional 6.5% performance at 1024 with a higher 1280 resolution giving a higher 9% uplift. Not earth shattering, but certainly a nice little bonus.

Unfortunately if I pushed the card any further Unreal would get a little psychedelic

Yay for overclocking!

Is Delidding Your CPU Worth It in 2023?

[sinsinewave]

is it bad that part of me wants to invest in a cryogenic cooling system just so i can avoid upgrading my CPU for even longer, by overclocking it even more that 6700K is already at 4.6GHz, hits around 85°C under heavy load so i could probably push it a little more if it feels like being stable hilariously it also refuses to work correctly if it's *not* overclocked, causing my audio to glitch out

Intel - 14th Generation

A Intel anunciou neste último dia 16 de Outubro o lançamento da décima-quarta geração de processadores Intel Core. Os novos processadores trazem mais núcleos de processamento, aliados a núcleos de reduzido consumo energético (denominados de “núcleos de eficiência” – Efficient Cores).

O destaque vai para o processador Intel i9-14900K que atinge pela primeira vez os 6Ghz por defeito (sem recurso a overclocking personalizado). A Intel procura com os novos processadores atingir um equilíbrio entre poder de processamento bruto e eficiência energética.

Os novos processadores são compatíveis com os chipsets de geração “600 series” e “700 series”.

Saiba tudo sobre os novos processadores na Newsroom da Intel através do seguinte link oficial: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-core-14th-gen-desktop-processors.html
