I hate when sacrificial test subjects die in pretesting before all the probes are connected and recording.

Finally got the water chiller up and running again. It has made me discover a whole new level of hatered for the Asrock Z890 Taichi OCFAIL. I can't go 30minutes without a clearCMOS because the board randomly won't boot. Also CORE CLOCKS DON"T APPLY PROPERLY... though I think that's intel's fault.

I love adding random weird shit to the training grounds(tutorial) level of my game:

it's so hot I'm turning off my daily system to keep ambient temps lower.

I literally get soaked in sweat by doing barely anything. FUUUUUUUCK THE SUN.

why yes I am testing progressively older and older CPUs instead of testing arrowlake: youtu.be/UGRTgGQxRLo

RAM overclocking the 7600X for gaming.

running benchmarks on a system connected to the internet has the fun problem of: did I screw up my overclock or is some software updating in the background?

Why does the Nvidia driver download page have the most obnoxious auto-scroll functionality possible. Like how hard is it to just keep the drop down options static? WTF!

testing gaming performance of RAM overclocks on a 9850X3D is the biggest waste of time EVER. The CPU just does not care as long as your settings aren't total trash

@buildzoid.bsky.social you made a video about DDR5 resfresh modes recently but you did you know that mixed mode is specifically to mitigate row hammer exploit? I thought it was just a performance option. www.amd.com/en/resources...

can someone explain the appeal of linear keyboard switches? Why would I want a keyboard switch where you can't feel/hear the reset point?

The Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 does not make for a good CPU test bench cooler. You can't even swap CPUs without having to undo a bunch of mounting hardware.

Well so far the biggest stability challenge for overclocking the 250K+ is the 3Dmark Firestrike GPU test.... Which doesn't make any sense it barely loads the CPU at all.

Deciding to do some "relevant" game testing for once was a mistake. How are mainstream games so freaking huge. CS2 is 60GB! AFAIK it has like 1 map. Marvel Rivals is 100GB

The worst part of Arrowlake is Z890 motherboards.

I love realtime memory timing adjustments. They make finding limits soooo much easier.

buildzoid.bsky.social @buildzoid.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

the worst part of collecting ancient GPUs is how they progressively harder and harder to boot on modern systems.

I finally manage to get back into RAM testing just in time for it to cost 3x what it used to I want to test some of the new Micron ICs.... I don't want to pay 9900X money for them.

You’ve heard of bits. Maybe even Trits.   What about Quats (base-4)?    It’s actually heavily used in VRAM, high speed networking (think 800G ethernet), and the PCIe 6.0 spec.    PAM4 is a neat little physics trick to squeeze out more bandwidth.

Microslop is so good at making software that a 13900K makes windows 11 feel slower than win 8.1 on an haswell i7 laptop does.

So I bought ANOTHER capture card.... (because the super cheap one had messed up colors) Well this one is BLURRY AS FUCK at 1080p: WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I JUST GET GOOD 1080p 60 capture. I DON'T GIVE 2 shits about 4K whatever.
