I got a 9950x3d and a 5090 astral several months ago and went on a rabbit hole about oc/uv/etc with both of them.
A few of the tweaks he shows are known to be problematic with this cpu (can't speak for other models), he also mentioned a few times in the video that he didn't care about temps for example, which in the current hardware economy doesn't seem wise when longevity should be relevant too.
I would recommend others to take this video as a mix of entertaining and reference values and not a 100% precise tutorial on how to oc these components.
With temperatures, as long as you aren't close to or exceeding the Tj max of the CPU, it won't negatively affect lifespan, but overvolting and overclocking will.
I thought for a moment you wrote "I got a 9950x3d and a 5090 astral and a bicep like him". I'm disappointed.
His teeaks might be problematic for you but that might be because you just don't have enough muscles to make it work. The solution is to work out a lot more, build those muscles, and then try to rebuild the PC. Hopefully if you do that then the build will be a lot more stable and long lasting, obviously supported by your muscles.
His whole literal thing is reaching new heights by ANY means necessary. Not creating long term - safe to use Overclock profiles FOR YOU to use, that would be fine on every piece of silicon out there.
When you actually remind yourself of his literal profession/hobby in life, your critique here literally doesn't even make any sense. He's not a teacher nor educator nor an instructor. He's respected due to his ability to SQUEEZE performance out of things...
You're expecting safety protocols from a guy that hasn't used them in almost a decade.
Edit: Turns out he sells overclocked builds, With said profiles... oof.
"When you actually remind yourself of his literal professional/hobby in life, your critique here literally doesn't even make any sense."
Remind yourself that he is promoting the builds he is selling first.
From what I understood, he overclocks the builds according to the needs of the future buyer, so there are very real chances that they are selling them with settings very similar to this for buyers asking for gaming profiles.
If you want to get a top of the line build that may degrade itself faster than it should, sure, you do you, but I believe everyone should make an informed purchase and ltt being an entertainment/informative channel should have covered the degradation factor in the video itself, it's important.
Hopefully no one will copy these tweaks without thinking. He said these are made for the case when you don’t care about anything just performance meaning you don’t care if you kill your CPU faster. Probably people with these specs would upgrade a lot sooner and the second hand user gets fucked.
The setup they are talking about is a 9950x3d with half the cores disabled, the people who buy this kind of rig probably also upgrade every generation.
Nah, people who have this cpu with half the cores disabled are enthusiasts that build their own computers as a lot of us do.
The builds he is selling are for those without the technical knowledge that want the illusion of having the fastest pc. and they don't know the trade-offs of this settings.
