This stuff feels like such a pointless, almost nostalgic instinct.
I mean, it’s fun, and I’m sure the guy got a cool Youtube video out of it, but these days you’re not roasting hardware by overclocking a flimsy chip barely aided by a heatsink. Instead, this guy took a small space heater burning the power of a half-assed microwaving session and turned it into a proper toaster over for the benefit of doing the exact same thing at mostly the same speed, just colder.
The 4090 is already typically strapped to a massive heatsink with a bunch of fans and runs at 50-60C under load in most competent builds. I want it to not trip my breaker, not to keep it cooler, boring as that may be by comparison.
