The video features extreme overclocking of an AMD FX 8350 CPU. The creator uses liquid nitrogen (LN2) to cool the CPU and achieves a clock speed of 8.1 GHz. They also use the EVC 2 device to monitor and control the CPU voltage and power consumption.
The creator mentions that the FX 8350 is a unique platform that can achieve high frequencies, and that it's still fun to play around with even though it's an older CPU. They also compare the performance of the FX 8350 to newer CPUs, such as the Ryzen 3000 series, and note that the FX 8350 can't match the single-core performance of the newer CPUs even when overclocked to high frequencies.
The video also includes a showcase of the creator's setup, including the motherboard, memory, and cooling system. They also mention that they will be doing another video with a different CPU in the future.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. The CPU being overclocked is an AMD FX 8350.
2. The FX 8350 was purchased many years ago and was one of the best samples the user had ever seen.
3. The user is trying to reproduce the scores they achieved with the CPU four or five years ago.
4. The CPU is being used with an Asus 97 Pro Gaming motherboard.
5. The motherboard has a much better VRM than the original motherboard used with the CPU.
6. The user is using an ELMO EB C2 PCB to monitor and control the CPU's voltage.
7. The ELMO EB C2 uses I2C or I-squared-C to communicate with the motherboard.
8. The CPU is being cooled with liquid nitrogen.
9. The user is using a PCI debug card to test the system.
10. The system is running Windows 10 from an NVMe drive.
11. The user is using Corsair Vengeance and Corsair Dominator RAM.
12. The RAM is DDR3 and is running at 2666 MHz.
13. The user is using Cinebench R15 to test the system's performance.
14. The CPU is stable at 7 GHz with 1.9V on the vcore.
15. The system is consuming around 50-70W of power at 7 GHz.
16. The user is trying to reach 8.2 GHz but is experiencing shutdowns at -160°C.
17. The system is running smoothly at -175°C with some ice building up.
18. The user is running a single-threaded benchmark at 7.5 GHz and achieving 172 points.
19. The system is consuming around 100W of power during the benchmark.
20. The user ran out of liquid nitrogen and had to end the overclocking session.
