Water Cooling a TI-84

Though, I should probably not go through the whole history of computer architectures, even though the Z1 is an interesting mechanical beast....

 

Suppose it would be fair to say modern high-performance CPUs focus more on throughput rather than latency. It may take more cycles for an instruction to go from start to finish, but (many) more instructions can be handled simultaneously. 

I think a deep dive into cpu architectures, while certainly beyond the scope of this thread, would make a great dedicated thread. 

My eyes see the past…

My camera lens sees the present…

At that point I think a book would be more fitting to be fair.


Though, having studied computer architecture design and semiconductor device manufacturing for over a decade. Not to mention general electronics for even longer.

One eventually reaches that part of the Dunning Kruger effect that one underestimates other peoples knowledge in the field... In other words, I got to remind myself that everyone doesn't inherently know what a memory channel is, or what a program counter does, or how x86/ARM shuffles threads around in the background...

 

Making a questions and answers session would be fun, though having unintentionally done that in various chat rooms and comment sections through the years shows that some people ask oddly specific questions about very specific processors. Either to be a gnarly troll pointing out that they in fact know more about a singular detail, or due to having a genuin interest in that specific thing. (Its a bit like asking a car expert what the ratio is between a specific pair of gears in a specific model and brand of car, they likely won't know the correct answer.)

 

Though, wouldn't call myself an expert, I am mostly generally knowledgeable, can be wrong about stuff at times, or mix up details. Mistakes, we all make them.

I got the TI-84 Plus CE in 8th grade (the one Texas Instruments sent them). I think the reason the TI-Connect software hasn't changed at all is because the newer calculators use TI-Connect CE, which does look considerably more modern. I would love to see someone try overclocking those too, because they're faster than the older models already and it would be interesting to see them reach their full potential.

I am impressed, but you only tweaked it's clock speed ...and... did you possibly try to measure it's voltages ? i gues with such clock improvements it's own dc-dc converters are not catching up, like... you even did not show us any it's voltages graphs with oscilloscope, litterally you MUST make another video where you will improve it's clocks adding extra capacitors to make it's voltages stable. also, i guess you might add external dc-dc converters and let this calculator work on higher voltage at least.

Managed to get 7.7515 mhz on slow mode and 32.593 mhz on fast mode. Used the pencil method.

Sorry if i misinterpret or say something rude, i'm on the spectrum and have a hard time with anything social. I do my best to make sure i don't but sometimes i just cant tell.

yeah it was basically a raspberry pi 4 model b 2gb. I do have a 4gb now cause the 2 gb one shorted out. Still love absolutely everything about that tiny computer as its the reasons i like computers so much now and the reason i know so much about computers and how to use them.
