1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:08,320
my custom water blocks from swiftech are here

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:10,800
but perhaps more importantly my email

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,679
from ASUS giving me the guidance that i need to overclock

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:22,000
the 56 core system is also here so what do we stand to gain

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:26,160
according to ASUS's guidance anywhere from three

6
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:31,679
to nine percent performance and what do we stand to lose twenty thousand dollars

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,960
in cpus 750 dollars in motherboards and about five grand worth of RAM

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,139
so what are we waiting for

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,440
anker's new powerwave 7.5 pad and stand

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,920
both offer faster wireless charging easy alignment for your device and the pad is

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,480
coated with an anti-slip material check them out on amazon through the links

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,960
below so one of the most exciting things about this board to me other than the

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,680
hilariously broken uh web page for it

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:11,119
with this placeholder text in it is the fact that jesus advertises it as

15
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:16,400
overclocking capable so this is the exact same platform that we had set up

16
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:20,400
from our holy so we've got a system that

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:24,880
seems to be locked up and we're back everything seems to be working fine so

18
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:29,600
56 processing cores and completely inadequate cooling so we're

19
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,159
getting some baseline readings here so we're sitting at around 6 700 and

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:38,640
cinebench let's go ahead and restart it and key in what ASUS figures is gonna

21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,320
give us a three percent overclock and then we're gonna go from there so we go

22
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,880
into ai overclock tuner set that to manual change this

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,640
to 103. spread spectrum gets disabled xeon

24
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:54,799
turbocharger gets enabled and then

25
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,759
wow that's not good oh that's not good at

26
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:03,119
all well that didn't work just going to fire them over a quick email saying thank you

27
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,439
for the instructions by the way they were this is one of the challenges with

28
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,440
overclocking by base clock rather than by adjusting

29
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,840
the multiplier when you adjust the base clock you actually throw a bunch of

30
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:20,640
other system frequencies out of whack including pci express and what can

31
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:24,640
happen is if you go too far out of spec you can make it so that certain devices

32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,959
won't be detected anymore i've never heard of

33
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,840
one percent out of spec causing a storage controller to stop showing up

34
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:38,560
but our SATA drive is not showing up at 101 base clock

35
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,680
i hope it didn't break the drive yeah see there's no there's no drive

36
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,599
boot options here okay we're gonna go back to 100 and see if this shows up

37
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,920
again there it's back see ata device

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,760
so that's a good sign you know you could get absolutely like

39
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,319
shredded if like every time you had to wait around for a server board to post you're

40
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,720
just like yeah i'm gonna do some crunches

41
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,280
that seems like a lot of work though okay here's what we're gonna do is we're

42
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:15,280
gonna switch over to an m.2 ndme SSD because we know our

43
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,280
video card was still working so so some stuff

44
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,840
still might work okay this is good so our 960 pro is here let's go ahead and

45
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,440
save our changes and see if at 101

46
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,480
we can boot up into Windows nice

47
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,120
okay check this out this is good

48
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,959
101 megahertz 75.94

49
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,959
wait is that much higher oh

50
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,200
looks like just some of the things we've tuned

51
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:54,319
are we even without any base clock overclocking forcing the processor to

52
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,519
run at a higher turbo frequency let's see if we can push for more

53
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:06,480
so this is it the turbo ratio lock this right here is sort of similar to the

54
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,840
multi-core optimization that caused that whole

55
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:13,280
scandal during the coffee lake launch so it was effectively causing higher power

56
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:16,880
consumption but higher performance overclocking the processors out of the

57
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:20,160
box now that it's not enabled by default i don't think there's any scandal there

58
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,520
but that's why we got so much more performance it was taking the expected

59
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:29,840
turbo for all cores active and just setting it to like a higher turbo that

60
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:34,240
was for not all the cores being active with that said according to ASUS's

61
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,440
guidance we should expect more than one percent on top of that

62
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,720
so we're trying three percent

63
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:45,360
what the reset button stopped working

64
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,040
i did i didn't even touch it there i don't know if this is a good sign yet

65
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,400
it's doing this thing where it like keeps trying and it makes a little bit

66
00:04:52,800 --> 00:05:00,000
further every time but then it keeps just resetting itself

67
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:04,400
this RAM is already running at like the balls to the wall speed for

68
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,280
this platform 2600 maybe we dial that back

69
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:10,880
and see if maybe trying to not run the memory out

70
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,080
of spec will help us get booted up at 103 and

71
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:19,280
i would have thought it possible but i made it worse postcode

72
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,600
zero i got an email from ASUS different

73
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:28,240
contact this time jacqueline who suggested i try her exact configuration

74
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:32,160
but we're gonna need to make a couple of changes first of all

75
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,880
no say to drive that's gotta go second of all i've gotta rip out most of the

76
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,199
RAM and she also suggested that i try with

77
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,280
the onboard graphics wow these are hot cut my computer into

78
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:48,240
pieces it is a piece of chin

79
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:53,600
oh come on the only thing worse

80
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,120
than slow posting server boards

81
00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,080
is when slow posting server boards

82
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,960
post and then reset themselves as part of like i don't know if this is a memory

83
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,639
training exercise or something i don't know what it's doing did it just turn off again

84
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,199
so now from a second source yeah no problem

85
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:16,639
all i did was dial in these settings and bippity boppity

86
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:24,160
well well now i'm in even worse position

87
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:27,360
overclocking failed and i have no keyboard detected

88
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:35,199
yes i have another idea we're going to give it more voltage

89
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:39,759
and we're straight to zero zero so i've got a couple more ideas stop it

90
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:44,880
there are a few other things here that maybe we could look at we could turn on

91
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:48,080
load line calibration extreme

92
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:50,000
phase stop it

93
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,560
three again get some help it's time for a hail mary

94
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,319
to be clear i don't think this is thermals related but let's water cool

95
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:02,560
this thing let's see what happens

96
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:10,080
is this brand new nope and whoever put it back didn't put the

97
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,080
hardware back with it thank you guys

98
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,680
wow this was left over from whole room water

99
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:21,280
cooling oh gross to be clear the rust isn't from

100
00:07:19,599 --> 00:07:25,199
the pump itself these don't these don't rust the worst part is i know everything i'm

101
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,319
doing right now is almost definitely for not okay come

102
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:32,479
on okay

103
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:37,199
ouch ah

104
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:46,080
got myself in the scissors cut my life into pieces and you know what if we're

105
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,440
gonna go full hail mary let's just put all the RAM back in

106
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:54,000
this is an advanced water cooling technique

107
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:58,960
this is known as the uh the pump and fill

108
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,120
look at this mess i better get some good results out of it

109
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,720
okay cpus are still detected all the RAM is

110
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:10,840
still detected bad news is on first boot

111
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:16,800
we get an overclocking failed message so that's flipping wow those are much

112
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:19,840
better CPU champs 30 and 36 so we have

113
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,240
dropped just about 30 degrees about 25

114
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:27,680
degrees off of our cpus we're going full hem on the CPU voltage

115
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,759
let's hit it hey 103. it might have been

116
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,440
the auto voltage not going high enough the whole time holy let's hit it

117
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,519
with a load we're back to the same score we got

118
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,479
before we just tuned those bio settings and ran

119
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:47,680
it at 101. okay let's try restoring our defaults and

120
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:52,320
keying everything in manually again okay here we go we're at 3.3 gigahertz

121
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,920
this time 75.96 okay even if we could get another four

122
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:01,839
percent we wouldn't be able to crack eight thousand but i mean we have to try

123
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,279
i mean it's funny like we preach the importance of cooling all the time

124
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,500
around here but i've never seen it have this

125
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,519
profound impact

126
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:16,720
and straight to postcode 0-0 okay maybe i shouldn't have changed so many things

127
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,480
at once so without tooling around with any of

128
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,880
that other stuff this time let's go for 105 again

129
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:28,720
come on baby come on baby

130
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,600
and zero zero

131
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,480
all right you can

132
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:39,360
overclock a workstation or a server but

133
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:44,080
you're gonna affect your system in ways that you might not otherwise foresee

134
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:47,920
like making it so your SATA SSD doesn't show up

135
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:51,680
and the performance gains are probably fairly

136
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:54,640
negligible my recommendation based on the performance we were able to achieve

137
00:09:53,600 --> 00:10:00,480
is just go with some kind of like turbo manipulation like ASUS's turbo locking

138
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:05,800
thing and if that's stable

139
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,800
call it a day

140
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:11,120
see that's f right there

141
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:15,760
rip rip the dream new from mass drop is a new keyboard

142
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:21,440
modeled after the super successful k-type it's fully programmable with RGB

143
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:25,760
lighting and qmk firmware which makes it much easier to program and gives you

144
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:30,560
more control at checkout you can choose between cherry mx kaiwa and halo

145
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:35,279
switches which will affect the pricing depending on your choice and there are a
