I just had an amazing idea for a video, what if you could remove the temp limit of a video card and run if maxed out without cooling to see if it could set on fire. That would be the coolest video ever. Maybe like an older card would be able to do this. Please can we try get this idea through to Linus.

Id seriously love to see this. You could try different cards and see what it took to set each on fire then compare them at the end.

that...doesn't work like that.....at least modern chips. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Well, @LinusTech or @nicklmg might respond, try with a Gtx 480 or something amd.

Nice clickbait. I'm pretty sure removing the GPU temperature threshold is impossible, unless you did some major custom BIOS flashing trickery, and even that probably wouldn't work.

Anyway, I think that's a terrible idea for a video. It's not a review, not a guide, not informative, not helpful in any way, not even particularly entertaining. Just destructive.

But ChannelSuperFun isn't even about technology, a video about burning a GPU would be completely out of place.

Also, ChannelSuperFun videos are supposed to be funny videos featuring a large amount of Linus Media Group team who aren't on camera much. This is neither of those things.

 

Of course, this is all assuming that unlocking a GPU's temperature limit is possible, which I'm pretty sure it's not.

Just custom bios flash it, if that wouldn't work, then no, unless they custom made a card for them. But I know, but it seems superfun.

You wouldn't be seeing actual flames. There might be burn marks, but nothing more dramatic. Modern and even bit older hardware is made to be resistant.

What if you removed the fan and stuffed the card with a flammable material or liquid.  

Why would that be any fun? You could be using torch if you just want to see things burning.

 

TTL did some extended fan testing some years ago. Like overvolting them to 15V and watching how engines went pop. That was interesting. Like was the time when Adam Savage put CD into microwave.

I'm pretty sure they won't do this, because:

A. It's a fire hazard, and:
B. It's not actually that exciting to watch.

 

LMG received a lot of criticism over the "Heating up a pizza with your graphics card" video. I don't think they'll want to produce more content like that in the future.

Id love to see the opposite of this, some sort of sub zero cooling on the gpu chip with benchmarks

It would be interesting to see if it's possible. I'm sure Linus and friends could remove all safety protocols and burn it up. I guess at the very most we would just get some smoke.

most probably it wouldn't happen as i presume the gpu will throttle down depending on the temps &  most probably will try to stabilize itself & wont be going too far of to reach  pcb burning temps in a modern gpu, might happen with a really older gpu with an outdated driver , unless they pull some drama shit to pull in viewers by rigging the GPU to do something flashy

Details separate people.

If you get a perfect shot longways on a windows phone, from side to side, parallel to the screen with a 20" barrelled AR-15, the phone will explode into a number of small fragments.

Unless you mod the BIOS to not have a temp limit c; (It's possible with any BIOS editior afaik)

nope , its on the gpu itself , or are you talking gpu bios? im shure they have a hadware shutoff tho , non software/bios

So if you do manage to make a custom bios for it, how will you address the melting point of the solder?  Convincing a board to stay functioning long enough to reach the flash of any of the components is mostly a pipe dream.
