The fact that this hardware is still working is a testament to the build quality we enjoyed 25 years ago.

Less heat production, more reserves in capacity of the hw components. The Ti200 is easily overclockable to ti500 clocks. The cpu is only using 18W, the Voodoos 15W per piece.. etc.

@@aebtdom Back in the 90's I had a Celeron 300 that I overclocked to 450. It died within a year. I was a poor young soldier at the time so it took me a month to save up for a replacement. I stopped overclocking for obvious reasons. When I had more money in the mid-2000's I overclocked my Radeon 4870x2, and it too died within a year. I gave up on any overclocking after that. I still have my Intel 3ghz Windows 98 SE PC in the basement, and everything works perfectly after 25 years. I want it to stay that way.

My x5675 from 2009 runs overclocked at 4ghz on a Foxconn motherboard for 5 years. Temperatures are good with 3 120mm and 2 140mm fans in total at low rpm which are almost quiet. Let’s see how many years are left in it. I have many replacements in stock 😂 The cooling and voltages back in 2000 were often not up to the task. I overclocked and killed a watercooled athlon 800 back in 2001 with the pencil mod. Had to replace several motherboards and power supplies. The build quality was really bad. Good times 😂

I'm ready to obvserve your test and conclusion.
