  • FWIW your friend was running a CPU that comes from the factory OC’d nearly to it’s limit and it’s a top binned CPU.

    Also, your friend called a 360mm AIO a massive liquid cooler when that’s the bare minimum you should have to run that thing stock, and even then of probably needs an undervolt to maintain adequate temps under load.

    To OC that thing like they wanted they probably should have had at least a custom water cooling loop with two 480mm rads and plenty of airflow.

    Ideally you would have also had a water chiller in the loop.

    But if you wanted to really push it and try for a record OC you would have needed an LN2 pot. Maybe even liquid helium.

    None of which accounts for the insane power draw that apparently your local grid couldn’t handle.
