QA
with (Libor) “Buildzoid” (Sadilek)
Country Name and City:
United Kigndom, Hull
What language(s) do you speak in
addition to English if any?
I also speak Czech since I am Czech.
Your nickname “buildzoid”, where
did it come from and does it have any
particular meaning?
buildzoid is from when I first started
playing minecraft. Since I really liked
building things and I spent most of
my time in minecraft building I came
up with buildzoid and I’ve been using
that name since.
When did you start overclocking and
on what platform was it on?
I first started in 2012 on X79 with a
3960X and an H100 cooler. I the most
I managed was 4.5Ghz on 1.35V for
daily use but eventually I upgraded
to a custom water loop and did 5Ghz
daily and 5.2-5.3Ghz for benchmarks.
On which forum or forums do you
spend the most time or share your
overclocking results?
I first spent most of my time on
the TechPowerUp forums. Later I
discovered reddit and became a mod
for /r/overclocking and setup the
first version of the overclocking wiki
there. These days I spend most of
time on the HWbot forums and reddit
but also check TechPowerUp and
Overclock.net every so often.
Your YouTube Channel, “Actually
Hardcore Overclocking”, when did
you start it and why?
The name Actually Hardcore
Overclocking is because there
are so many sites that have
overclocking in their name but as far
as I’m concerned they don’t cover
6 The OverClocker Issue 39 | 2016
overclocking in-depth enough so
I slapped the Actually in front of
Hardcore Overclocking and went
with that for my computer hardware
blog where I covered overclocking as
in depth as I could manage. Later on
I tried to livestream my OC sessions
and since I was archiving those to
youtube I decided to start using the
youtube channel for other content as
well.
How often are you streaming and/or
uploading videos on the channel, and
how has the response been so far?
I try to stream every Saturday. My
personal goal for the youtube is 3
videos a week but I rarely manage to
do that. So far the responses I’ve got
have been very positive since there
are a lot of people who are interested
in the kind of more in depth coverage
I try to do and there’s not a whole lot
of it out there.
You’re a fairly technical individual,
more so than the “average” extreme
overclocker perhaps. Do you find
that helps or gives you an advantage
in any way?
When I first started out I got really
into volt modding because as far
as I’m concerned that’s way more
accessible that LN2 or Dry ice and
even on air or water cooling you
can see good gains. I think the only
advantage I would claim to have is
that I don’t need to wait for voltmod
guides for things since I can usually
volt mod just about anything with a
public data sheet myself.
Several weeks ago you uploaded
some detailed videos about the
RX480. How did that overclock
eventually, for those who have not
seen the streams yet? Also what are
your general impressions on the GPU?
On LN2 I got 1550mhz on the core to
pass Firestrike. I also ran Firestrike
windowed at 1600mhz. However
it took me far too long to realize
