I seem to remember that the 300A overclock was first published by Tom's Hardware - a site started by a German medical doctor, as implausible as that sounds. I was trying to confirm this, but he didn't claim credit for that in this interview: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/20-year-anniversary,4552-7.html https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/20-year-anniversary,455... P.S. Also, some twenty years ago another MD rewrote the Linux scheduler, because he wanted better interactive performance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con_Kolivas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con_Kolivas

The first to do it was probably the first to touch the CPU given how established over clocking was by that era. So it could be tom but it's just not that significant if it was or wasn't.

  Yeah, "let's see if I can overclock this a bit" was the first thing many people did as soon as they got any new chip. The 300A was notable both because of how far they could be pushed but also how it worked for basically all of them & not outliers.
