1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:08,160 welcome to the no messing around LGA 20113 overclocking guide we'll be 2 00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:12,799 covering the benefits of overclocking the risks of overclocking and running 3 00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:18,320 you guys through how exactly to do it with your shiny new Haswell e six core 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,320 or8 core 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:31,160 processor Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature Precision Cherry MX RGB key 6 00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:33,160 switches for 16.8 million color per key 7 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:38,320 backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more it 8 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:44,440 always starts with this but it's super important so we shouldn't skip it what 9 00:00:41,239 --> 00:00:46,920 is overclocking what can we overclock 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:51,239 and why do we do it the short answers are for the first one basically it's 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,160 turning the speed up so that your PC components run faster than the 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,840 manufacturer intended and you can find more information about it here for 13 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,800 number two we'll turn up pretty much anything with a dial on it that makes it 14 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:07,159 Go FAS the CPU the RAM the graphics card are prime candidates and number three we 15 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:12,720 do it because we are driven to we have no self-control we know about the 16 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:17,600 drawbacks like higher heat output higher power consumption and even the potential 17 00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:22,479 for Hardware degradation but we just have to have the 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,920 speed now no overclocking guide is complete without the latest and sexiest 19 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:32,360 Hardware as interesting as me pulling out a Northwood 2.4 C and cranking that 20 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,600 baby up might be to some people most of you are probably watching this today 21 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:41,000 because you want to actually do some performance tuning on Hardware that 22 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:46,240 you're actually using so as always it starts with the focus of today's video 23 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,799 the CPU normally for these guides we use an extreme Edition because the procedure 24 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:54,240 is actually the same for an extreme Edition or for a kseries processor 25 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:59,240 anyway but today is a little different today we're going to tune the core 26 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,600 i75820k because I think it's the best 27 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:07,039 bang for the processor on the market for enthusiasts and prosumers with workloads 28 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:11,319 that can benefit from its six processing cores but don't have the budget for its 29 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:15,599 eight core monster of a big brother the core i7 30 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:22,959 5960x to go along with its six cores at 3.3 to 3.6 GHz the 5820k has 15 Megs of 31 00:02:19,959 --> 00:02:25,120 cache support for up to 64 gigs of ddr4 32 00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:31,160 memory running in Quad Channel mode and 28 PCI Express 3.0 lanes for multiple 33 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,120 graphics cards or other expansion cards 34 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:40,480 this is less than the 5930k and the 5960x which each have 40 Lanes but as we 35 00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:45,879 demonstrated here this will only matter in certain fairly unusual situations 36 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,879 let's move on to our next extreme Hardware selection if you've been 37 00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:55,280 watching this channel for any amount of time you'll probably already know what Corsair dominators are here's a clip of 38 00:02:52,760 --> 00:03:00,120 an old kit we painted to take advantage of their built-in custom lighting 39 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,640 effects in nutshell there were Corsair 40 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,560 biggest baddest sexiest DDR3 memory modules and now they're back for more 41 00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:12,040 with ddr4 flavors available in capacities from 16 to 64 gigs and speeds 42 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:18,400 up to a blistering 3,300 MHz although the 32 gig kit here we've got today runs 43 00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:21,840 at a mirror 2660 MHz cl15 out of the box 44 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,640 with its XMP 2.0 profile which of course 45 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,080 will only work with proper support from the motherboard which leads us to the 46 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:32,879 finest motherboard I've ever had the pleasure of using the Republic of Gamers 47 00:03:29,239 --> 00:03:36,280 Rampage 5 extreme from ASUS now ASUS has 48 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,319 done no compromises Rampage grade boards 49 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,439 before but while they always had the performance features for extreme 50 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,280 overclockers they'd always be lacking the latest high-end onboard sound 51 00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:52,680 designs from the formula grade Rog boards or the premium onboard Wi-Fi from 52 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,079 Deluxe grade boards not this time if you 53 00:03:52,680 --> 00:04:00,040 can afford one you can buy a rampage 5 extreme knowing that you've got it all a 54 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,239 susus OC socket with extra pin for improved power delivery and RAM 55 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:07,599 overclocking their fourth generation digital power delivery their OC Zone 56 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,560 with some features that are actually amazingly useful even for beginners like 57 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,599 the safe boot Button that lets you boot to default settings without losing the 58 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,959 changes you just made when your overclock fails and some stuff that's 59 00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:22,880 more for the hardcores like the onboard voltage probe contact points you get 60 00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:28,560 top-of-the-line storage with eight SATA 3 ports two SATA Express ports and an 61 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,120 m.2 slot the latest Supreme effects 2014 62 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:36,479 onboard audio and finally finally three spatial stream AC Wireless with which I 63 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:42,160 achieved sustained transfer speeds of over 40 megabytes per second during 64 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:46,639 testing what oh and I guess you also get support for three-way SLI and Crossfire 65 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,560 with this CPU and four-way support with the 40 PCI Express Lane ones no big 66 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:56,759 whoop though for cooling I went with a Corsair h100i dual 120 mm fan all-in-one 67 00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:02,800 water cooling system which is basically where I would suggest starting for six 68 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,520 core core overclocking with dual 140 mm 69 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:10,680 fan designs like the Corsair h110 or Cooler Master nepton 280l being solid 70 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:15,000 step UPS power was taken care of by a corser 71 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,720 hx1000i yes it's Overkill but I guess this is more of a because we can 72 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,240 Hardware Choice 0 plus Platinum efficiency dead silent operation at 73 00:05:21,039 --> 00:05:27,280 light and medium loads a fully modular design and Corsair link integration for 74 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,319 all the real-time monitoring goodness you could want from a power supply and 75 00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:34,840 that pretty much does it for the components that affect overclocking but 76 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:41,240 it should be noted that for before and after benchmarks a GTX 780 Ti graphics 77 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:43,160 card running at stock speeds was used 78 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,520 all right lonus so I got all my gear in front of me now what well start by 79 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:52,800 mashing delete while booting to enter the ufi BIOS and press F7 to get into 80 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:58,440 advanced mode right away none of that easy mode stuff for us no sir head over 81 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,880 to boot and under setup mode select Advanced so you won't have have to 82 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,199 switch manually every time you start up the system then it's time to head over 83 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:10,919 to the extreme tweaker heading where we'll be spending most of our time you 84 00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:16,280 can save yourself a lot of effort by starting from a probably safe overclock 85 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,639 rather than beginning the tuning process from stock speed and testing at every 86 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:26,400 stage for hasbell processors I'd recommend a multiplier of 45 a CPU 87 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:30,759 voltage of around 1.3 volts and this is very important everything else in the 88 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:36,720 system at default settings then press F10 to apply your settings and restart 89 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,759 into Windows use CPU Z to verify that 90 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,840 the settings were applied correctly and run the stress testing application of 91 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:48,360 your choice dialing in one component at a time will take some of the guest work 92 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:53,360 out later when you're trying to balance how hard you're pushing each component 93 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:55,080 to achieve the best overall results just 94 00:06:53,360 --> 00:07:00,199 make sure that your benchmark by the way is a safe one recent versions of prime 95 00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:05,000 95 for example can cause your CPU to pull so much power in an overclocked 96 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:10,080 overvolted environment that you're sure to do long-term damage if you use it 97 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,479 extensively I'm partial to Ida 64 but a 98 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:17,280 susa's own R reel bench is a solid Choice as well and it's free if the test 99 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:23,080 fails in the first 10 minutes or so then it's time to go back to the ufi BIOS and 100 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,280 try a lower multiplier or as long as 101 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:29,840 your CPU low temperatures are within your comfort zone we're going to use 80° 102 00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:34,400 as a Max for this guide you can try try slowly turning up the CPU voltage to see 103 00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:39,560 if that helps and then boot back into Windows and rerun your test if the test 104 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:44,520 passes then it's time to restart and go back to the ufi BIOS anyway because it's 105 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:49,280 time to turn up your memory Speed Most performance kits these days will have 106 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:51,560 XMP profiles for easy RAM tuning and our 107 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:56,599 Corsair Dominator Platinum kit here is no exception with two separate profiles 108 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:01,400 a more conservative one and a more aggressive one with higher voltages but 109 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:06,520 what you need to watch out for is the changes in other system settings when 110 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:13,479 you switch your OC tuner mode from manual to XMP for RAM speeds below 2400 111 00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:19,240 MHz and including 2400 MHz you can skip this next part but for speeds above 2400 112 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:26,080 MHz like our RAM it's very likely that your CPU strap will change to 125 MHz 113 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:31,039 this is okay but it means that your CPU clock speed will now be calculated by 114 00:08:28,159 --> 00:08:38,039 multiplying the core rtio itio by 125 rather than by 100 so you will want 115 00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:40,919 to keep XMP off for now and rify that 116 00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:45,720 4.5 GHz stability test by setting your multiplier to 117 00:08:42,599 --> 00:08:48,560 36 with that verified it's time to go 118 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:53,120 back into the UEFI BIOS and turn XMP back on and this now applies to all RAM 119 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,959 speeds again and then rerun the stability test if it fails or the system 120 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:03,279 refuses to power on consistently with error code BD then you might be tempted 121 00:09:00,839 --> 00:09:07,839 to crank RAM voltage but I'd probably keep that around 1.4 volts Max and 122 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,800 suggest that you may want to consider fine-tuning the system agent voltage 123 00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:18,279 instead I found I got dramatically better stability with around 1.02 volts 124 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:23,680 but your mileage may vary and bear in mind that more is not necessarily better 125 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:27,000 here it's more of a tuning process if 126 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:29,880 after tuning sa it passes then great 127 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,360 back to the BIOS you go now to see if the CPU has a little bit more Headroom 128 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:40,040 left in her you can raise the multiplier until your stress tests are no longer 129 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,760 able to pass now in doing that you might 130 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:48,560 notice at this stage that the CPU ratios don't give you very granular control so 131 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,839 if your chip handles for example 4.7 GHz 132 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:53,560 fine but 4.8 GHz crashes after a few 133 00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:57,880 minutes and you want to reach your optimal setting probably somewhere in 134 00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:03,079 between those two values then this is a great time to play around with base 135 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:07,120 clock a little bit and I really do mean 136 00:10:03,079 --> 00:10:08,920 a little bit my chip handled 4.75 GHz 137 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,120 with Rock Solid stability when I reached a base clock of 138 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,839 101 which is as high as I really want okay you can go higher than that but you 139 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:20,399 don't want to play around with it too much because tinkering with base clock 140 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:25,880 outside of using standard dividers is not recommended because it affects many 141 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,920 other buses some of which like storage 142 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,519 for example don't take kindly to being 143 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:36,519 over clocked once you've got your CPU dialed in it's time to play around with 144 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,920 memory now if you want I personally 145 00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:44,240 found ASUS's Auto profiles did a great job and between that and XMP it was 146 00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:46,680 running fast enough but if you want you 147 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:51,279 can try different RAM dividers and try further tuning RAM voltage and system 148 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:55,800 agent voltage again to overclock your memory frequency Honestly though you 149 00:10:53,959 --> 00:11:00,440 might find your time better spent trying to push for tighter RAM timings it 150 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:04,440 usually results in very similar performance gains which you can measure 151 00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:08,440 by lowering the timings preferably one at a time and observing performance and 152 00:11:06,839 --> 00:11:13,440 stability and memory dependent benchmarks and is less likely to debal 153 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:19,440 your overclock that you just tuned on your CPU because some RAM dividers are 154 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:27,440 inherently more stable than others 2400 is a good one as are 2666 2933 and 3200 155 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:32,160 if your memory can handle it but 2800 has trouble with some CPUs in including 156 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:36,639 RS even with kits that support that speed something very important to note 157 00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:42,920 here talking about memory dividers is that increasing the CPU strap to 125 158 00:11:39,959 --> 00:11:48,839 with the memory at 2400 does not change your memory divider so even though this 159 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:53,279 RAM speed increases to 3,000 MHz this is 160 00:11:48,839 --> 00:11:55,800 still a good stable divider the ratio is 161 00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:59,920 as important to stability as the actual speed it's running at but at the end of 162 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:04,399 the day memory find tuning is not something I personally do a lot of you 163 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:09,600 can refer back to my DDR3 versus ddr4 Apples to Apples comparison but for a 164 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:14,360 daily driver system it just doesn't matter much and the kind of instability 165 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:19,760 it causes situations where you can run a stress test for 12 hours perfectly fine 166 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:24,440 only to have it fail at 12 hours and 5 minutes is just not worth the time it 167 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:30,199 takes to verify that the system is actually running correctly 168 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:32,440 IMO usually CPU tuning aside from being 169 00:12:30,199 --> 00:12:37,000 the part where you get the real tangible performance games is also much easier to 170 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:40,920 verify through stress testing so sticking with that is not a Bad Bet 171 00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:46,800 speaking of the CPU one other thing you can fine-tune at this stage is the CPU 172 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,519 cash Ratio or uncore again it frankly 173 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,760 matters very little as far as performance compared to you know if you 174 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:58,199 just increase the CPU's raw frequency but if you can bring your cach speed up 175 00:12:55,560 --> 00:13:02,399 closer to your CPU speed it can help a little bit with some performance metrics 176 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:07,720 once you change this though you may find that you need to fine-tune CPU voltage 177 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,240 and system agent voltage again so now 178 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,160 it's time to have a look at some performance numbers I'm not going to be 179 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,839 doing a huge test Suite here or anything but I'd like to give you guys a look at 180 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:21,040 the benefits of overclocking if you're willing to put a little bit of time into 181 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:27,320 it I also included numbers for ASUS's auto overclocking TPU thing that my ws 182 00:13:24,839 --> 00:13:31,639 and Deluxe boards have but take them with a gigantic grain of salt the 183 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:36,360 performance numbers look good but that system wasn't stable at all at these 184 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:41,720 settings a departure from my normally positive experience with ASUS's autot 185 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:43,480 tuning so there you have it enabling XMP 186 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,800 on your memory doesn't do a whole lot compared to just running JX speeds this 187 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,519 platform is really not memory bandwidth limited even with six or eight cores to 188 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:56,800 feed thanks to its quad Channel memory capability tuning CPU speed up makes a 189 00:13:54,680 --> 00:14:01,199 huge difference except for gaming where we really aren't CPU bottlenecked in the 190 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:05,720 first place anyway and further tuning RAM makes very little difference with 191 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:10,240 conservative easily stabilized RAM settings with more emphasis on the 192 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:15,440 impactful and easier to tune CPU frequency being the way to go as usual 193 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:20,240 so I think that pretty much wraps it up if you followed along with this guide 194 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:24,639 good job enjoy your freshly overclocked CPU I hope your results were awesome and 195 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:28,279 if they weren't then don't worry there's a good chance it wasn't your fault 196 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:33,320 anyway since the Silicon Lottery dictates that odds of getting a CPU with 197 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:38,199 more or less overclock ability was probably just you know predetermined by 198 00:14:36,199 --> 00:14:42,720 the overclocking Gods anyway and probably wasn't your fault so don't stop 199 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:46,040 tuning though and better luck next time thank you guys for watching our x99 200 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:51,519 overclocking guide like this video if you liked it dislike it if you thought it sucked and leave a comment letting me 201 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:56,800 know your overclocking Adventures your results and some of the late nights that 202 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,440 you've spent tuning that one like three 203 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,480 more megahertz man I just want three more mehz s thanks again for watching 204 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,600 and as always don't forget to subscribe oh right and if you want to support us 205 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:10,480 we've got
