Memory Overclocking Failure?

[Pardeep01]

So the host in this video seems to be overclocking a RAM and it sort of destroys it. However, I cannot determine if this is true because I've never seen something like this before. Can someone address this please?

That's not overclocking, it's overcooking.

Well it seems as though they've attached 2 wires directly to it and supplied some ungodly voltage.  That's not how RAM is used and would never happen in a computer.

I love Afrotech, I'm thinking about doing a similar thing just for the lol's with some old DDR I have

thats not really an overclock failure more of a voltage regulator failure. They pumped in to high of a current

Right. Thanks. Much appreciated!

Do record and PM me the video if you can. I wanna observe it differently.

He just soldered two wires to random contacts on the DIMM and applied some voltage. I'm probably gonna cook it at 12v, but I do have a variable powersupply. However, IDK if it can supply enough current to actually cook the chips.

If the power supply doesn't work, what other methods are you looking up to?

Well, it's not a computer supply, it's for a music equipment, so I'm thinking it'll probably only be able to pull 1A. However, I have a sketch-mcgee 300w computer supply lying around that should supply more than enough current.

All right. BTW I'm wondering, is that possible with a GPU? or even a CPU? GPU, probably because it has a PCB but the power that must be delivered to it to cook it will be hard to attain but what about the CPU? What kind of effect will it have if we apply a crap load of power to it?

If you apply enough voltage to any electronic component, it'll cook. Keep in mind that most of these components are supposed to actually run at 1-2 volts. Like my CPU is at 1.25, gpu something around there, and ram somewhere around 1v as well.

Right. Thanks for the info breda! Appreciate it!
