There’s a few tricks you can do in overclocking where you replace shunt resistors. It bypasses power limit protections by making the board think it’s drawing less power than it is.
That and replacing dead caps is about the only reason to touch a soldering iron to a GPU.
After working in IT since 1999, I can count on my dads lefthand fingers the times I’ve had to solder a graphics card.
PS: My dad lost his left arm in 1996
He’s not using the soldering iron per se, he’s threatening to use it. “Nice memory chip you got there, shame if something happened to it.”
When the interrogator gets ordered to get info from a computer.
“WHERE IS THE RAM!”
You don’t need it, because thanks to the two power supplies you can run your CPU at double speed!
Not the technician we need, but the technician we deserve.

Only time I manually overclocket a PC was with a leaded pencil in the good ole days of AMD Thunderbird
How many times did you do it on the wrong side though?
