WEBVTT 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:08.160 welcome to the no messing around LGA 20113 overclocking guide we'll be 00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:12.799 covering the benefits of overclocking the risks of overclocking and running 00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:18.320 you guys through how exactly to do it with your shiny new Haswell e six core 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.320 or8 core 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:31.160 processor Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature Precision Cherry MX RGB key 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:33.160 switches for 16.8 million color per key 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:38.320 backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more it 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:44.440 always starts with this but it's super important so we shouldn't skip it what 00:00:41.239 --> 00:00:46.920 is overclocking what can we overclock 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 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.160 turning the speed up so that your PC components run faster than the 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.840 manufacturer intended and you can find more information about it here for 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 00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:07.159 Go FAS the CPU the RAM the graphics card are prime candidates and number three we 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:12.720 do it because we are driven to we have no self-control we know about the 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:17.600 drawbacks like higher heat output higher power consumption and even the potential 00:01:14.759 --> 00:01:22.479 for Hardware degradation but we just have to have the 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.920 speed now no overclocking guide is complete without the latest and sexiest 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:32.360 Hardware as interesting as me pulling out a Northwood 2.4 C and cranking that 00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.600 baby up might be to some people most of you are probably watching this today 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:41.000 because you want to actually do some performance tuning on Hardware that 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:46.240 you're actually using so as always it starts with the focus of today's video 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.799 the CPU normally for these guides we use an extreme Edition because the procedure 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:54.240 is actually the same for an extreme Edition or for a kseries processor 00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:59.240 anyway but today is a little different today we're going to tune the core 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.600 i75820k because I think it's the best 00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:07.039 bang for the processor on the market for enthusiasts and prosumers with workloads 00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:11.319 that can benefit from its six processing cores but don't have the budget for its 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.599 eight core monster of a big brother the core i7 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 00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:25.120 cache support for up to 64 gigs of ddr4 00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:31.160 memory running in Quad Channel mode and 28 PCI Express 3.0 lanes for multiple 00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:34.120 graphics cards or other expansion cards 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 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:45.879 demonstrated here this will only matter in certain fairly unusual situations 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.879 let's move on to our next extreme Hardware selection if you've been 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 00:02:52.760 --> 00:03:00.120 an old kit we painted to take advantage of their built-in custom lighting 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:02.640 effects in nutshell there were Corsair 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:06.560 biggest baddest sexiest DDR3 memory modules and now they're back for more 00:03:04.799 --> 00:03:12.040 with ddr4 flavors available in capacities from 16 to 64 gigs and speeds 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 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:21.840 at a mirror 2660 MHz cl15 out of the box 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:23.640 with its XMP 2.0 profile which of course 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.080 will only work with proper support from the motherboard which leads us to the 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:32.879 finest motherboard I've ever had the pleasure of using the Republic of Gamers 00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:36.280 Rampage 5 extreme from ASUS now ASUS has 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.319 done no compromises Rampage grade boards 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:42.439 before but while they always had the performance features for extreme 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.280 overclockers they'd always be lacking the latest high-end onboard sound 00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:52.680 designs from the formula grade Rog boards or the premium onboard Wi-Fi from 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:55.079 Deluxe grade boards not this time if you 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 00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.239 susus OC socket with extra pin for improved power delivery and RAM 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:07.599 overclocking their fourth generation digital power delivery their OC Zone 00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:11.560 with some features that are actually amazingly useful even for beginners like 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.599 the safe boot Button that lets you boot to default settings without losing the 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:18.959 changes you just made when your overclock fails and some stuff that's 00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:22.880 more for the hardcores like the onboard voltage probe contact points you get 00:04:21.239 --> 00:04:28.560 top-of-the-line storage with eight SATA 3 ports two SATA Express ports and an 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:31.120 m.2 slot the latest Supreme effects 2014 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:36.479 onboard audio and finally finally three spatial stream AC Wireless with which I 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:42.160 achieved sustained transfer speeds of over 40 megabytes per second during 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:46.639 testing what oh and I guess you also get support for three-way SLI and Crossfire 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.560 with this CPU and four-way support with the 40 PCI Express Lane ones no big 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 00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:02.800 water cooling system which is basically where I would suggest starting for six 00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:05.520 core core overclocking with dual 140 mm 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:10.680 fan designs like the Corsair h110 or Cooler Master nepton 280l being solid 00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:15.000 step UPS power was taken care of by a corser 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.720 hx1000i yes it's Overkill but I guess this is more of a because we can 00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:23.240 Hardware Choice 0 plus Platinum efficiency dead silent operation at 00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:27.280 light and medium loads a fully modular design and Corsair link integration for 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.319 all the real-time monitoring goodness you could want from a power supply and 00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:34.840 that pretty much does it for the components that affect overclocking but 00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:41.240 it should be noted that for before and after benchmarks a GTX 780 Ti graphics 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:43.160 card running at stock speeds was used 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 00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:52.800 mashing delete while booting to enter the ufi BIOS and press F7 to get into 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:58.440 advanced mode right away none of that easy mode stuff for us no sir head over 00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:01.880 to boot and under setup mode select Advanced so you won't have have to 00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:06.199 switch manually every time you start up the system then it's time to head over 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.919 to the extreme tweaker heading where we'll be spending most of our time you 00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:16.280 can save yourself a lot of effort by starting from a probably safe overclock 00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:20.639 rather than beginning the tuning process from stock speed and testing at every 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:26.400 stage for hasbell processors I'd recommend a multiplier of 45 a CPU 00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:30.759 voltage of around 1.3 volts and this is very important everything else in the 00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:36.720 system at default settings then press F10 to apply your settings and restart 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.759 into Windows use CPU Z to verify that 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:43.840 the settings were applied correctly and run the stress testing application of 00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:48.360 your choice dialing in one component at a time will take some of the guest work 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:53.360 out later when you're trying to balance how hard you're pushing each component 00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:55.080 to achieve the best overall results just 00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:00.199 make sure that your benchmark by the way is a safe one recent versions of prime 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:05.000 95 for example can cause your CPU to pull so much power in an overclocked 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:10.080 overvolted environment that you're sure to do long-term damage if you use it 00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:12.479 extensively I'm partial to Ida 64 but a 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 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 00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:25.280 try a lower multiplier or as long as 00:07:23.080 --> 00:07:29.840 your CPU low temperatures are within your comfort zone we're going to use 80° 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 00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:39.560 if that helps and then boot back into Windows and rerun your test if the test 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 00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:49.280 time to turn up your memory Speed Most performance kits these days will have 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:51.560 XMP profiles for easy RAM tuning and our 00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:56.599 Corsair Dominator Platinum kit here is no exception with two separate profiles 00:07:54.080 --> 00:08:01.400 a more conservative one and a more aggressive one with higher voltages but 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:06.520 what you need to watch out for is the changes in other system settings when 00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:13.479 you switch your OC tuner mode from manual to XMP for RAM speeds below 2400 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:19.240 MHz and including 2400 MHz you can skip this next part but for speeds above 2400 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 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:31.039 this is okay but it means that your CPU clock speed will now be calculated by 00:08:28.159 --> 00:08:38.039 multiplying the core rtio itio by 125 rather than by 100 so you will want 00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:40.919 to keep XMP off for now and rify that 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:45.720 4.5 GHz stability test by setting your multiplier to 00:08:42.599 --> 00:08:48.560 36 with that verified it's time to go 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 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.959 speeds again and then rerun the stability test if it fails or the system 00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:03.279 refuses to power on consistently with error code BD then you might be tempted 00:09:00.839 --> 00:09:07.839 to crank RAM voltage but I'd probably keep that around 1.4 volts Max and 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:12.800 suggest that you may want to consider fine-tuning the system agent voltage 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:18.279 instead I found I got dramatically better stability with around 1.02 volts 00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:23.680 but your mileage may vary and bear in mind that more is not necessarily better 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:27.000 here it's more of a tuning process if 00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:29.880 after tuning sa it passes then great 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 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:40.040 left in her you can raise the multiplier until your stress tests are no longer 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:42.760 able to pass now in doing that you might 00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:48.560 notice at this stage that the CPU ratios don't give you very granular control so 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:51.839 if your chip handles for example 4.7 GHz 00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:53.560 fine but 4.8 GHz crashes after a few 00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:57.880 minutes and you want to reach your optimal setting probably somewhere in 00:09:55.560 --> 00:10:03.079 between those two values then this is a great time to play around with base 00:09:59.760 --> 00:10:07.120 clock a little bit and I really do mean 00:10:03.079 --> 00:10:08.920 a little bit my chip handled 4.75 GHz 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.120 with Rock Solid stability when I reached a base clock of 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 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:20.399 don't want to play around with it too much because tinkering with base clock 00:10:17.800 --> 00:10:25.880 outside of using standard dividers is not recommended because it affects many 00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:28.920 other buses some of which like storage 00:10:25.880 --> 00:10:31.519 for example don't take kindly to being 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 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:38.920 memory now if you want I personally 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:44.240 found ASUS's Auto profiles did a great job and between that and XMP it was 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:46.680 running fast enough but if you want you 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:51.279 can try different RAM dividers and try further tuning RAM voltage and system 00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:55.800 agent voltage again to overclock your memory frequency Honestly though you 00:10:53.959 --> 00:11:00.440 might find your time better spent trying to push for tighter RAM timings it 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:04.440 usually results in very similar performance gains which you can measure 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:08.440 by lowering the timings preferably one at a time and observing performance and 00:11:06.839 --> 00:11:13.440 stability and memory dependent benchmarks and is less likely to debal 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:19.440 your overclock that you just tuned on your CPU because some RAM dividers are 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:27.440 inherently more stable than others 2400 is a good one as are 2666 2933 and 3200 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:32.160 if your memory can handle it but 2800 has trouble with some CPUs in including 00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:36.639 RS even with kits that support that speed something very important to note 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:42.920 here talking about memory dividers is that increasing the CPU strap to 125 00:11:39.959 --> 00:11:48.839 with the memory at 2400 does not change your memory divider so even though this 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:53.279 RAM speed increases to 3,000 MHz this is 00:11:48.839 --> 00:11:55.800 still a good stable divider the ratio is 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 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:04.399 the day memory find tuning is not something I personally do a lot of you 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:09.600 can refer back to my DDR3 versus ddr4 Apples to Apples comparison but for a 00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:14.360 daily driver system it just doesn't matter much and the kind of instability 00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:19.760 it causes situations where you can run a stress test for 12 hours perfectly fine 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 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:30.199 takes to verify that the system is actually running correctly 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:32.440 IMO usually CPU tuning aside from being 00:12:30.199 --> 00:12:37.000 the part where you get the real tangible performance games is also much easier to 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:40.920 verify through stress testing so sticking with that is not a Bad Bet 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 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:49.519 cash Ratio or uncore again it frankly 00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:53.760 matters very little as far as performance compared to you know if you 00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:58.199 just increase the CPU's raw frequency but if you can bring your cach speed up 00:12:55.560 --> 00:13:02.399 closer to your CPU speed it can help a little bit with some performance metrics 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:07.720 once you change this though you may find that you need to fine-tune CPU voltage 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:09.240 and system agent voltage again so now 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 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 00:13:15.160 --> 00:13:21.040 the benefits of overclocking if you're willing to put a little bit of time into 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:27.320 it I also included numbers for ASUS's auto overclocking TPU thing that my ws 00:13:24.839 --> 00:13:31.639 and Deluxe boards have but take them with a gigantic grain of salt the 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:36.360 performance numbers look good but that system wasn't stable at all at these 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:41.720 settings a departure from my normally positive experience with ASUS's autot 00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:43.480 tuning so there you have it enabling XMP 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:47.800 on your memory doesn't do a whole lot compared to just running JX speeds this 00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:51.519 platform is really not memory bandwidth limited even with six or eight cores to 00:13:49.800 --> 00:13:56.800 feed thanks to its quad Channel memory capability tuning CPU speed up makes a 00:13:54.680 --> 00:14:01.199 huge difference except for gaming where we really aren't CPU bottlenecked in the 00:13:58.560 --> 00:14:05.720 first place anyway and further tuning RAM makes very little difference with 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:10.240 conservative easily stabilized RAM settings with more emphasis on the 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:15.440 impactful and easier to tune CPU frequency being the way to go as usual 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:20.240 so I think that pretty much wraps it up if you followed along with this guide 00:14:17.560 --> 00:14:24.639 good job enjoy your freshly overclocked CPU I hope your results were awesome and 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 00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:33.320 anyway since the Silicon Lottery dictates that odds of getting a CPU with 00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:38.199 more or less overclock ability was probably just you know predetermined by 00:14:36.199 --> 00:14:42.720 the overclocking Gods anyway and probably wasn't your fault so don't stop 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:46.040 tuning though and better luck next time thank you guys for watching our x99 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
