How do I install Golden Sample (Stable Overclocks)?
Download the free ProjectMods desktop app, then install Golden Sample (Stable Overclocks) for PC Building Simulator in one click.
</>What does Golden Sample (Stable Overclocks) do?
Finding a stable overclock normally means nudging voltages up and down, stress testing, and sometimes frying a part by pushing too hard. Golden Sample makes every chip behave like a golden sample. With Always Stable on, CPUs, graphics cards and memory never crash for lack of voltage, however far you push the clocks. Customers count the PCs you return as stable too, so an overclock that's short on voltage never earns you a one-star review. With No Fried Parts on, setting the voltage too high no longer breaks the CPU or memory when the PC starts. Parts that were already broken stay broken. Heat and power still matter, so pair it with Ice Cold and fit a big enough power supply.
</>What is Golden Sample (Stable Overclocks)?
Golden Sample turns every chip in PC Building Simulator into a silicon lottery winner. Always Stable lets CPU, memory and graphics card clocks go as high as the BIOS and GPU Tuner allow with no under-voltage crash in OCCT or 3DMark, and No Fried Parts stops too much voltage breaking the CPU or memory. Heat and power draw still rise, so pair it with Ice Cold and a big enough power supply. A free-tier mod from ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager.
</>Common questions about Golden Sample (Stable Overclocks)
What does Golden Sample do in PC Building Simulator?
Golden Sample takes the voltage headaches out of overclocking in PC Building Simulator, with two switches. Always Stable means CPU, graphics card and memory overclocks never crash for lack of voltage, so you can push clocks as high as the BIOS and GPU Tuner allow without an under-voltage crash in OCCT or 3DMark, and customers count the PC as stable when you return it. No Fried Parts means setting the voltage too high no longer breaks the CPU or memory when the PC is switched on. Heat and power still apply, so a big overclock still runs hotter and draws more power. It's a free-tier mod, one click to install from the ProjectMods desktop app.
Does Golden Sample stop my PC from overheating?
No. Golden Sample only takes care of voltage in PC Building Simulator: under-voltage crashes and parts broken by too much voltage. Heat and power still work normally, so an overclock still raises temperatures and power draw. For heat, pair it with Ice Cold, the ProjectMods mod that keeps CPU and graphics card temperatures below their limits, and make sure the build has a big enough power supply for the extra draw. Together they let you chase big clocks without voltage crashes or an overheating CPU and graphics card getting in the way.
Can Golden Sample fix a CPU that's already been fried?
No. No Fried Parts in Golden Sample prevents new voltage damage in PC Building Simulator, but it can't repair a part that's already broken. With the switch on, setting the voltage too high no longer breaks the CPU or memory when the PC is switched on. A CPU or memory that was broken before you turned the switch on stays broken, so it still needs a replacement. Turn No Fried Parts on before you start experimenting in the BIOS, and you can try aggressive voltages without worrying about losing a part.
Does Golden Sample change how customers review my PCs?
Yes, in a good way. In PC Building Simulator, customers quietly check that a PC you return is stable under load, and an overclock without enough voltage fails that check, which drops the job to a one-star review about crashes. While Golden Sample's Always Stable switch is on, that check always passes, so a voltage-starved overclock can't cost you stars. Everything else still counts: the job's own objectives, plus the customer's checks for thermal paste, CPU throttling under load and staying on budget. If you'd rather tune voltages the hard way, switch Always Stable off and keep No Fried Parts on, since the two switches work independently.
Should I use Golden Sample with Benchmark Blitz?
Yes, they're a natural pair in PC Building Simulator. Benchmark Blitz finishes 3DMark and OCCT almost instantly, so the PC barely spends any time under full load and an unstable overclock may never crash on screen to warn you. That's how a voltage-starved PC goes back to its customer unchecked and earns you a one-star review. Golden Sample removes that risk: with Always Stable on, overclocks never crash for lack of voltage and customers count the PC as stable, so skipping the long test doesn't cost you. Add Ice Cold if you're pushing clocks hard, because Golden Sample doesn't touch heat, and fit a power supply big enough for the extra draw.
What options does Golden Sample (Stable Overclocks) include?
No Fried Parts
Too much voltage no longer breaks the CPU or memory.
Always Stable
Overclocks never crash from too little voltage.
CPU, graphics card and memory overclocks stop crashing for lack of voltage in PC Building Simulator with Golden Sample, a free-tier ProjectMods mod that also stops too much voltage frying the CPU or memory. Heat and power draw still apply.
System Requirements
What features does Golden Sample (Stable Overclocks) include?
- Lets you push CPU and memory clocks as high as the BIOS allows, and graphics cards as high as GPU Tuner allows
- Stops crashes from too little voltage in OCCT and 3DMark, and customers count every PC you return as stable
- Saves your CPU and memory from breaking when the voltage is set too high, though parts already broken stay broken
- Pairs well with Ice Cold and a big enough power supply, since overclocks still raise temperatures and power draw
- Gives crash protection and fry protection their own switches, so you can run either one or both
Best For
- New overclockers learning the BIOS who want to push clocks around without a crash every time they guess wrong
- Score chasers who would rather max out their clocks for 3DMark than spend ages nudging voltages up and down
- Speed builders using Benchmark Blitz's instant tests, where an unstable overclock may never crash on screen before the PC goes back to the customer
- Anyone who has fried a CPU with too much voltage and never wants to lose an expensive part that way again
