overclocking in general is less of a thing now because chips are stock-overclocked to within an inch of their lives already. Also the heat loads are way higher, back then if you wound your 80-watt Athlon up to like 150 watts that was considered mega-extreme heat, nowadays chips are happy to eat way more than that stock. So you'd need a bigger compressor and radiator and so on. That takes up a lot of space and costs money and there weren't enough richfags to sustain it. It also uses more power, that's why peltiers aren't a thing anymore. The ones that still do extreme overclocking as a hobby don't care about 24/7 anymore, they just buy a jug of LN2 and have fun for a weekend.
