Thank you for posting it. We at XtremeSystems appreciate it.

Wait, you are still a thing? I really liked the forums but thought they shut down years ago.

Yes. We have XtremeSystems.us and soon are moving .org forums to another forum so it can be reused again. We are also active on HWBOT, competitions, slowly starting up YouTube, you’ve probably seen Fugger and spicer on LTT etc… we have been making a come back for about a year now. It’s been great to see

Impressive, but I always wonder how much stability testing goes into these overclocks.

With just the stock tools, I can push my GeForce pretty far (relatively spoken, absolutely nowhere near what "professional" overclockers can achieve, of course), and it may appear stable for many hours, until suddenly it crashes anyway.

So what's the qualification of a "successful" overclock? Is it just passing a benchmark, and after that for all we care it can go up in flames?

In many cases when chasing numbers, yes. In most claims of the “fastest overclock of $thing” the accepted criteria is completing the benchmark without crashing.

Different context but for what it's worth I've been running a mild overclock (3.3GHz to something like 3.6GHz) for about 15 years on a Xeon X5680. Passed days of burnin/stress testing at assembly, and it's been very stable this whole time. It's on nearly 24/7 and is actively used.

These type of mods are for pushing them beyond the limits of what they are released as. You can do something like a shunt mod and EVC to control your core voltage for daily and get pretty good results as long as your cooler on your GPU can handle it. As far as the External Clock gen, there are bugs being worked out right now. It can become a thing, but how soon I can’t give you a time estimation.
