Chasing a Gaming World Record

Linus and legendary overclocker Charles “Fugger” Wirth put a $30,000 cascade chiller through its paces, battling sub-zero condensation, custom insulation, and the nerve-wracking mounting process to get a custom rig primed for record-breaking speeds. After ironing out BIOS tweaks, prepping memory and GPUs, and finally firing up the chiller, they dive into a full benchmarking gauntlet complete with troubleshooting and near-misss drama.

The video walks you through every stage—from insulation hacks and power-up rituals to the tense final run—culminating in a nail-biting attempt to crack a new gaming world record. Along the way, Linus sprinkles in sponsor shout-outs, merch plugs, and all the behind-the-scenes moments that make extreme overclocking so addictive.
