Chasing a Gaming World Record

Linus teams up with legendary overclocker Charles “Fugger” Wirth to see if a custom-cooled PC using a $30,000 cascade chiller can smash a new gaming benchmark. After unboxing the rig, they battle sub-zero condensation, rig up custom insulation and mount the hardware for a shot at glory.

What follows is hours of BIOS tinkering, memory and GPU prep, benchmark runs and troubleshooting misfires—culminating in one final push to crack the world record. Spoiler: it’s a rollercoaster of near-misses, epic momentary triumphs and that sweet rush only overclockers know.
