Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:11,210
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:17,890
is nc.com

4
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,960
all right guys I'm here at the corsera Intel overclocking event with George and

5
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,519
just maybe tell us what's going on with the leaderboard here all right well we got a leader board uh that's going to be

6
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:03,879
tracking the guys who at the various different records or try and break the

7
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,960
record for the day so at the top of it the number one prize is Super PI 32m uh

8
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:13,200
all the way down to you know stuff like 3D Mark uh for fire strike um the ASUS

9
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:18,400
team here with Andre and Tiel actually just set our personal daily record on

10
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:22,720
the uh CPU overclock they had 6.75 so far and they got the superp 1M number

11
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:27,360
which is $1,000 award uh they got that down to 5.42 one which is our current

12
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,479
fastest speed but you know the events been going on for less than an hour so

13
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,200
we expect Maybe maybe some guys could break that number maybe these guys will break that number in a little bit so

14
00:01:33,479 --> 00:01:38,520
we're pretty excited these guys are dumping liquid nitrogen all over the

15
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,680
place they're you know putting Vaseline on motherboards and rubbing shop towels

16
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:46,079
on things this is dangerous and freaky stuff and these guys are are uh

17
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:52,000
professionals I wouldn't practice this at home and they were wondering at what

18
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,280
135 was that yeah they were at 134° C so

19
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,280
that's insane

20
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,920
so I've joined the rest of the team at the overclocking event and uh George

21
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:24,360
what is this this is the leaderboard that shows uh who's currently in the

22
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,519
lead of each specific score we're doing we're giving 11 different prizes away

23
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,840
today starting at 1,000 bucks and going up to $5,000 for the prize total of

24
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,599
$20,000 and prize money the uh the most uh the highest priz the grand prize is

25
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,400
the Super PI 32 mag which is to you know see how fast the system can run a 32

26
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,560
megabyte super P calculation or 32 million sorry super P calculation uh

27
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,920
that's a $5,000 prize now the guys up there eight pack uh lead that right

28
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:54,560
below them on the hasel memory frequency where they're at 3782 which is almost

29
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,159
3,800 uh mehz on the memory frequency it

30
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,480
was Way Beyond Ivy Bridge which was around 33 34 um so those guys knocked

31
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,720
that out of the park and then underneath that we're at a 6.9 GHz on the processor

32
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:09,000
overclocking record too so those are the top three records um then underneath

33
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:13,280
that you can see that uh Andre and and team ASUS there have basically dominated

34
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:18,280
all the other stuff Super PI 1 million calculation Pi fast W Prime 32 all that

35
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:25,360
stuff so tell me about the strategy why is it that um Andre and team ASUS seem

36
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:29,080
to be going after everything but the big prize pools up there what what is the

37
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:32,040
deal like cuz there were some stipulations in terms of what Hardware

38
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:35,840
you could bring or what you couldn't bring and what's their strategy I think

39
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,400
um I mean you'd have to ask them specifically for their strategy my guess is that they looked at it and said look

40
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:45,319
we know we can knock this one we can knock this one we can knock this one and I said you know it makes more sense to

41
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,799
take Awards four through nine than it take to take only one two and three

42
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:53,159
there was a lot of competition there still is a lot of competition going on right now we got about 20 minutes left

43
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,959
uh for the first and second and third spots I think they said look I don't

44
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,760
think there's going to be as many guys fighting here we're going to go full bore for it and they hit some really

45
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:05,200
impressive numbers the pie fast number at 9.83 is really close to a world

46
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:08,640
record and on day one of the I of the Haswell launch I mean that's that's

47
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,239
incredible this is a year and a half of stuff from ivybridge and these guys are

48
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:17,199
almost breaking it in one day so hasell is a really impressive launch already

49
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:20,359
well that's fantastic I mean so don't believe everything you heard about

50
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,560
Haswell overclocking so we're going to be following this up with a little bit

51
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:29,039
more coverage once it's time to actually present the awards I had something else

52
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:32,320
I wanted to talk to George about because really these these overclocking events

53
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,639
it takes a long time to dial in an overclock you got to do some testing on

54
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,960
it every time you change any any freaking thing but what tends to happen

55
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:45,919
is we're still 20 minutes from the end this is where things get really exciting tell me about

56
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,479
sandbagging uh sandbagging is basically you you go and you put up a number

57
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,360
that's okay and uh other guys are like well whatever that's fine and a lot of

58
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,639
guys wait till the very end to throw their numbers up because they they kind of want to see what the other guys are

59
00:04:54,919 --> 00:05:00,000
really doing so what you're going to see here like for example a lot of the guys

60
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,560
waited till the end to do the 3D stuff the bottom ones a benchmark for uh uh 3D

61
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,919
Mark and aqua Mark and stuff like that so I'm going to guess that those bottom

62
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:11,440
four benchmarks you're going to see those change like every 5 minutes from

63
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,039
here to the end of the competition and I think a lot of guys did wait to hit

64
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,759
their best possible uh video card numbers cuz in the open category where

65
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:21,960
they're allowed to bring whatever graphics card they want they already know what they're capable of doing they

66
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,360
got their liquid nitrogen they're ready to go they know they can do it at home

67
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,120
so if they see the number here that they're actually able to beat they're not going to beat it until they have to

68
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:36,759
if they can beat it with 2 minutes left that doesn't give their competition much time to beat them very very exciting so

69
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:40,840
uh back back with Awards actually this time thanks again George no problem all

70
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,800
right I'll try not to do this to you too many times thanks George not a problem

71
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,840
actually finally award ceremony time here guys I'm just going to see if I can

72
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:54,080
sort of cheat and just kind of Chuck my mic in here and see if that works so I

73
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:59,479
haven't asked anyone's permission to do this just going to kind of sneak over

74
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:04,240
here just kind of subtly okay so here we go we have two competitions today um one

75
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:08,680
was uh the first was what we call the open competition where there were eight

76
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:12,199
benchmarks that that everybody could run with the hardware that they brought and

77
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:17,560
uh impressively uh one team ran all eight

78
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:23,290
of those benchmarks and won the ball and that's Andre and TL so if they could uh

79
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,410
step up on the stage please

80
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:37,420
you you guys actually get eight

81
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:40,519
trophies not sure what you're going to

82
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,479
do um I could take a couple of them if you

83
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,280
want so they they actually need a crew of ladies to carry all of their trophies

84
00:06:54,199 --> 00:07:00,000
for them need help the trophies

85
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,560
so congratulations to these guys that was very impressive winning all those

86
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:28,479
benchmarks finally the grand prize which is sort of a combination of CPU and

87
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,400
memory frequency is the super P score

88
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:37,560
and the winners of Super at 4 minutes

89
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:37,560
49344 seconds are AP Pac and

90
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:51,039
Zio i' like to see someone try and take that check

91
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,400
