15:30 can't say how often I've looked at a project and wanted a dedicated external fan control for it, not just computers. As for bios, I've run across some motherboards where the fan RPM eventually sticks and never changes after some time of the computer being on (from a few mobo makers), becomes super annoying if I'm in the middle of a project and have to save and close everything just to reboot to fix the bios fan control. A dedicated external fan control would be so nice to fix that (esp for the GN R7 build PC).
Great vid Steve, Elmor and crews. B)

A pluggable debug/ postcode LED screen would be awesome, i think it should be mandatory in every motherboard anyway it makes everyone's life more easy. I have not tried for years but does the old speaker and beep thing even work today? Its the 1 thing everyone neglects to add to DIY builds (i have myself for years anyways) but PC's used to always come with a small speaker that emitted beeps for error codes can save so much time with something to read postcodes especially when you have a RAM or CPU seating issue.

Some of us live vicariously through your video segments. Appreciated. We suggested a Tshirt for Moores law is Dead of a Zombie Moore walking over flaming Silicon on back.... with logo and words on front upper right corner saying Moore AI Brains Gamers Nexus should have one with the back picture of a giant ziptie... front corner upper right..... picture of a tea bag next to an eyeball..... with words under make sure you tie LIKE AN 80Z CLASS CARD

I think these videos could be improved if you could provide more explanations.
For example,
External clock - I'm guessing it is just more convenient that changing the base clock via BIOS or some software tool? Is there any other advantages / disadvantages?
Dummy loads - what is it used for? Testing power supplies?
Etc etc
I'm an enthusiast, not an engineer... EDUCATE ME :P

Steve, normally your factory tours are informative and methodical this seemed like you weren't prepared for this tour. More less its you pointing at stuff and the owner replying, instead normal pre-planned questions or dialogue you normally have. LOVE the tour series, but didn't like this tour at all didn't seem like you were genuinely interested in the conversation or the office space.

As nice as Hardware Content gets as anytime.
Liked to the stuff Elmor is working on. Sadly havent the oportunety or the Coffidence to use some of the gear that he and his Team put out. Would like to but i am kinda scared i brick my hole rig in Minutus after some of the tools i would like to play around with arrive.
But keep it up this is what pushes Pepole and there Hardware

It was a blast hosting you and your team Steve! You did a great job with the video, thank you so much :) Regarding debug cards, we are looking at solutions. We may do another run of the LPC type cards for older boards now that the chip shortage is over and maybe some type of hybrid that can support at least some of the newer boards that offer Serial/UART output for port 80 data.

Awesome. Great to see the inner workings, these guys are peak and I love it. I've been messing around with actual OC since the 386 years.. we'd overclock good sx 25 chips and glue heatsinks on top and put on a warranty void sticker.. oh the 90's.. we have come a LONG way since those days. Thanks for sharing this, really looksl ike so much fun!

19:18 i love the fact that you brought up the question about the polling rate of that device, it can matter a lot as it clearly shows how important it is to know about it when you set it to the lowest and you see it go from low 2 digit number to very high 3 digit numbers so fast, transient loads man...

This is the reason why I love hardware more than software. You just probe the bus or change the oscillator FQ and you can overclock even when overclocking is locked in BIOS or CPU/GPU.
Unfortunately industry is trying to limit such tinkering by putting more stuff on CPU die and increase SW control :'(

I remember when we HAD to overclock to just get decent performance for a working system at an affordable price. Now, there just isn't that need anymore nowadays. We've past that point of no return. OC is as useful as RGB or gaming chairs . OC has become an aesthetic.

am I the only person wondering if that external clockgen could be used on an FM2+ board with Carrizo? I mean the board manufacturers didn't get bclk OC down at all for Kaveri/Carrizo, so that'd be really interesting.
Then again, I think I might have a problem

If AMD, Intel, and Nvidia would just ship products that had 100% of performance available to the customer and didn't leave any performance on the table overclocking wouldn't even be necessary, but unfortunately they're corporations so that's never gonna happen.

Haven't watched it yet but why is Overclocking becoming harder? Is that that the Big wigs want to protect the majority of end users and for anyone else if they find a way they will ? Or that they want to implement there own Overclocking by use of AI?

Those LN2 pots are nice, but it's got me thinking... Why hasn't someone designed a crazy high surface area LN2 pot, like something that would be impossible to machine, and have it 3D printed? You can get things 3D printed in pure copper now days.

Elmor is a total champion. I bought the WigiDash and was having a couple of weird things with it. Hopped on Elmor Labs discord and within a couple of hours he had fixed both things and released updated software. Really impressed me at least.

Took me a while to realise the soft slightly cheerful plinking and plonking in the beginning wasn't someone's ringing iphone that you for some reason didn't seem to want to react to but background music added in post.

When I saw the thumbnail for about half a second I thought the bald guy was Guga Foods. What would that even look like? Me and my friend Steve decided to sous vide this GPU for 14 hours! I wonder if would be AMAZING?

This is awesome. More videos like this please! Also: Steve has really become a quite good interviewer. I love how he lets Elmor actually speak rather than trying to put the focus on himself.

The extreme overclockers remind me of the how the old moonshiners modified their cars, which led to the birth of Nascar and the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's from the big three automakers.
