Default NVIDIA Interviews Vince "Kingpin" Lucido

Vince Lucido has just unpacked a brand new GeForce GTX 580. Eager to test out what the new graphics powerhouse can do, Lucido, better known as "K|NGP|N" (pronounced "kingpin"), preps to overclock the card but unknowingly uses the wrong-sized trimmer. An electric zap jets out of the card as smoke billows through the air. The GPU is fried. This just goes to show that even one of the world's premier hardware overclockers can make a rookie mistake.


Normally very meticulous about his craft, K|NGP|N has made quite a name for himself by being one of the pioneer overclockers to effectively use liquid nitrogen as a GPU cooling device. Having gone on to shatter numerous overclocking records as a result, hardware manufacturer EVGA has brought him on board to be their champion GPU representative. His experiences and expertise has allowed him to create a successful business where he now develops and sells his own innovative hardware cooling receptacles to fellow enthusiasts all around the world.

Over-clocking the CPU and GPU require different approaches. Could you talk a bit about that?
Okay. Well, first of all, some CPUs have cold boxes [designated, sealed-off cooling areas]. Some don’t. So the newer generation of CPUs like the Intel K processors, the Clarkdales, they don’t really have cold boxes. You can basically fill the pot all the way up and just max the thing out minus 196. It didn’t use to be the case with the older AMDs, the FXs, the FX 57, 63, 62, were really bad, you couldn’t go minus 50, minus 60C. With GPUs, it’s a bit different because, while the GPU core itself runs pretty hot, you run into issues with insulating on the cards so the PCBs [Printed Circuit Boards] tend to freeze up really bad, so you have to use a lot more preparation to make sure the GPU can handle the extreme conditions.
