00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.640
Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:11.210
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:17.890
is nc.com

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:55.960
all right guys I'm here at the corsera Intel overclocking event with George and

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

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:03.879
tracking the guys who at the various different records or try and break the

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

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

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.400
team here with Andre and Tiel actually just set our personal daily record on

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

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

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.479
fastest speed but you know the events been going on for less than an hour so

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

00:01:33.479 --> 00:01:38.520
we're pretty excited these guys are dumping liquid nitrogen all over the

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:42.680
place they're you know putting Vaseline on motherboards and rubbing shop towels

00:01:40.119 --> 00:01:46.079
on things this is dangerous and freaky stuff and these guys are are uh

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:52.000
professionals I wouldn't practice this at home and they were wondering at what

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:55.280
135 was that yeah they were at 134° C so

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.280
that's insane

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.920
so I've joined the rest of the team at the overclocking event and uh George

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:24.360
what is this this is the leaderboard that shows uh who's currently in the

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.519
lead of each specific score we're doing we're giving 11 different prizes away

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

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

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

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.560
megabyte super P calculation or 32 million sorry super P calculation uh

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

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:54.560
below them on the hasel memory frequency where they're at 3782 which is almost

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:56.159
3,800 uh mehz on the memory frequency it

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.480
was Way Beyond Ivy Bridge which was around 33 34 um so those guys knocked

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

00:03:02.959 --> 00:03:09.000
overclocking record too so those are the top three records um then underneath

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:13.280
that you can see that uh Andre and and team ASUS there have basically dominated

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:18.280
all the other stuff Super PI 1 million calculation Pi fast W Prime 32 all that

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

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:29.080
to be going after everything but the big prize pools up there what what is the

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:32.040
deal like cuz there were some stipulations in terms of what Hardware

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:35.840
you could bring or what you couldn't bring and what's their strategy I think

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

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

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.799
take Awards four through nine than it take to take only one two and three

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

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

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

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:05.200
impressive numbers the pie fast number at 9.83 is really close to a world

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

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:13.239
incredible this is a year and a half of stuff from ivybridge and these guys are

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:17.199
almost breaking it in one day so hasell is a really impressive launch already

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:20.359
well that's fantastic I mean so don't believe everything you heard about

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.560
Haswell overclocking so we're going to be following this up with a little bit

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:29.039
more coverage once it's time to actually present the awards I had something else

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:32.320
I wanted to talk to George about because really these these overclocking events

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

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:40.960
it every time you change any any freaking thing but what tends to happen

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

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:49.479
sandbagging uh sandbagging is basically you you go and you put up a number

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:11.440
four benchmarks you're going to see those change like every 5 minutes from

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

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.759
their best possible uh video card numbers cuz in the open category where

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

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

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

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

00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:40.840
uh back back with Awards actually this time thanks again George no problem all

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

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:49.840
actually finally award ceremony time here guys I'm just going to see if I can

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

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:59.479
haven't asked anyone's permission to do this just going to kind of sneak over

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

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:08.680
was uh the first was what we call the open competition where there were eight

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.199
benchmarks that that everybody could run with the hardware that they brought and

00:06:11.400 --> 00:06:17.560
uh impressively uh one team ran all eight

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

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.410
step up on the stage please

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:37.420
you you guys actually get eight

00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:40.519
trophies not sure what you're going to

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:48.479
do um I could take a couple of them if you

00:06:49.400 --> 00:06:55.280
want so they they actually need a crew of ladies to carry all of their trophies

00:06:54.199 --> 00:07:00.000
for them need help the trophies

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.560
so congratulations to these guys that was very impressive winning all those

00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:28.479
benchmarks finally the grand prize which is sort of a combination of CPU and

00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:30.400
memory frequency is the super P score

00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:37.560
and the winners of Super at 4 minutes

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.560
49344 seconds are AP Pac and

00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:51.039
Zio i' like to see someone try and take that check

00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:55.400
