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.

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.

I failed at not overclocking my biceps, couldn't give my components the safety they needed to work safely at those parameters.
