Unlike other "youtube tech celebrities" who just read off from teleprompter with doodling eyes, I particularly enjoy how this gentleman is truly trying to teach you knowledge with his own knowledge. Great work. I learned so much from this video.
There has been a great deal of confusion regarding AVX vs non-AVX, LTT vs HardwareUnboxed bench marks, standard/expected temps vs overheating temps. This video at 12:35 Understanding key aspects of overclocking frequencies, AVX, voltages, cache ratios and more...clears all that confusion up. Up until this point no other channel that I viewed explained this so clearly, although HardwareUnboxed came close. EXCELLENT job explaining these parameters and giving an overclocking tutorial, which I plan to use on my Asus Z370 as well. Thank you. P.S. I subscribed due to the quality of this video, so Newegg is indebted to JJ...:-).
Juan José Guerrero, muy buen tutorial. Deberías hacer uno en español si es que lo hablas, tienes una manera única y simple de explicar las cosas. Gracias por tu atención.
I would like to vote for a full walk through of all mobo features. I have been system building for 30 years and have never really found a good explanation of all the advanced features from either the manual or any online resource. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I have looked like 15 overclocking guides and thats the best most stable. I could get the overclocks always stable, but something in games allways felt off. But with this overclock my games feel so good. Jesus bless.
Thanks a lot man, you are very cool. Like, literally, you explained everything calmly. I didn't think I'd watch the complete video, but your presentation and the content of this video, really didn't let it feel like it was a hour long. :)
Great Video. Normally the first thing I do when getting a new PC is look at the bios settings.. When I got my new PC loaded with a Prime Z390-A board and looked at the bios settings I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices. This video should be listed in the users guide.
J.J. Just wanted to let you know I bought the Asus Rog Strix Z390-E because of you (and through Newegg because I love Newegg) and how amazing Asus motherboards are. Just waiting on my 9900K to get here to finish setting up my pc. Will be using this video to overclock.
This is brilliant, I’m glad I found this on RU-vid. This has helped me understand my z390 motherboard and the options it has that I feel more confident about over clocking my 9700k. Thank you so much
This was the vid I needed to see. I am building basically the exact system. Different case and using air cooling. Have never over clocked so I found this to very helpful. Thank you.
You should take the time to adjust one value at a time so you know which made your system stable. Use AI Suite in windows to do this quickly. Use 5min prime95 blend after each adjustment. Check the BSOD code for what part of your cpu failed and adjust accordingly.
THE BEST overclocking guide for ASUS mobo's. I will state that ASUS needs to fix SVID and it's ability to downclock the processor in certain instances like benchmarking. It's irritating having to disable it in the UEFI just to benchmark and then re-enable it later. Most loads like games do not downclock...by downclock I mean if I'm overclocked to 5.2ghz, it will go down to 4.3ghz with SVID enabled for some reason on cinebench r20 in particular. So you can't really benchmark or stress test with SVID enabled. With SVID disabled, you can't use adaptive voltage at all and the benefits of lower voltages with no load. So you will be running 800mhz downclocked with 1.43volts lol. The only way for it to work is with SVID enabled specifically for downvolted voltage.
This video is awesome!!! It will save your tons of time from searching knowledge from internet and another tons of time from understanding them because most of those "knowledge" is unidentified..
Thanks for the videos..Honestly if i do same like that i can fry eggs on my case..I did completely different and managed to 5.1 ghz all cores plus 4000mhz ddr4 took me a week ...
Really good explanation of how to OC, but the lack of temperature monitoring worries me. HWMonitor or similar program should be running when testing, I mean sure you can OC to a higher number but if your rig is constantly hitting the mid-90's tempwise you aren't doing it any favors. Plus Cinebench 15 is great to see if there's basic stability in your OC, but running an actual stress test for an hour or so might reveal some issues.
cause when he chose the xmp overclocking profile the board asked him if he wants to operate at intel stock specs or not. it was not a confim of the xmp profile.. it was more than that and lifted all the things that kept like the power limits and boost timings and all that. i think its also called multicore enhancement on asus. i recommend not using that stuff and applying settings manually
Tuf yea on the cooler prediction I told the AI to stop learning at a score of 160. My cooler is a beast so it kept getting a better score causing the AI to push the OC. this is on a asus maximus hero Xi WiFi
Wow ! Just wow . This video is amazing and so well made ! Might be the best video ive watched 2019 (cotaining computer content)! I do have an question that i really hope you can answer ! You were talking about avx programs and im wondering if i should dial down the overclock if im streaming with obs (have no idea if obs is using avx) ? :) Amazing video ! Cheers from sweden. And thank you for teaching others!
What's the difference between a 5ghz overclock on the first few cores and turbo boost? Isn't that the point of intel's turbo boost? Or is a 5ghz overclock become the baseline and turbo boost then jumps up above that?
My i9600k was stable on 5.1 ghz (all cores) without touching the volts, got lucky I guess. Running Prime95 the asus rog strix went up to 1.2825v on max (6hours) 5.2ghz was fine on 1.35 , but sticking to 5.1 for longevity. ON AIR COOLING! The watercooling would probably just make better thermals, but I believe that 5.2 is the most u get out of this one, 5.3 @ 1.46v would eventually crash.
One thing you didn't talk about was how your CPU was throttling. You had it set to 5ghz, yet when you turned up the voltage and ran CINEBENCH, it throttled down to 4.7 - 4.8ghz. You didn't have software showing your CPU temps. That AIO cooler wasn't not keeping it cool enough so 1 or more cores got too hot which caused the CPU to throttle down. That is an important part to leave out because that means the voltage is set too high for your cooler. Granted, most applications will not push a CPU temps like CINEBENCH will, but it's worth noting. Otherwise, a great video and for the most part, had some great information.
good video, i have a question i have this procesoor on asus prime z390-a but when enable turbo boost on bios when i starts windows always appears blue screen and reboot the system automatically (only when enable turbo boost) if i disable it windows starts normally, can you tell me how to configurate my procesor to avoid windows restart when i enable turboboost?
Short story: 1. Ramp up multiplier to 50. (leave baseclock alone) 2. Ramp up XMP 3. Ramp up vcore voltage to 1.375 (find minimum with a stress test) 4. If CPU temps are far away from the maximum of 105 degrees celcius, (say 85) then you can ramp up the multiplier more. Done.
My version of Dual Intelligent Processors 5 doesn't have this AI Overclocking option you showed us at the end... why? Also changing things in TPU doesn't show any change in CPUID... I am running a i5 4690K on a Z97 Pro Gamer motherboard.
I’m running a 9700k on a Z390-e and the AI tuner wanted to crank my chip to 5.4GHz at 1.480 volts. Cooler is a H115i Pro set up in a push/pull config that is giving a prediction on 194pts. Was nowhere near stable at those levels and did not feel comfortable with that much voltage. Got it up to 5.2 across all cores at 1.390V and haven’t pushed it much farther yet since it is more than enough for my uses. Got a 1623 score is Cinebench. When I first booted it up, the AI gave me a silicon rating of 95% but hasn’t shown any value for a while now. Going to try and have the cooler recalibrate in the UEFI
Hey Nice video, but it didnt realy answered my question. I have 9700k dark rock pro 4 and z390 aorus elite. Everything is stock and im getting over 80c degrees in games. I was wondering what settings should I pick for vcore aka voltage and what numbers? I dont wanna OC it, I just want to bring the temps down. Can you please help me?!
any z390 board will hit 5 ghz on all cores. cooling is more important-. don't pay rog tax, the hero and other maximus boards use crappy vrm 8 phase no doubler. it's pretty bad compared to other brands in the z390 range of boards.
40:07 Why is it that the Core Speed in CPU-Z only drops down after running the CineBench test? Why was it not already running at a lower frequency when the system was idle before the test?
Great video, thanks for the guide. It's been a few years since I built and overclocked a system so this was a great refresher. In Gamers Nexus's stream on the i9 overclocking he also set the current capability to 170% and the CPU Core/Cache Current Limit Max to stop throttling, can you confirm this is safe to do (with sufficient cooling) and whether it's all that's required to make sure we don't throttle with a 5.0 - 5.1ghz OC on the i9?
My i7 10700K sits at 4900mhz at 1.275V on manual, I switch to Adaptive, set the turbo to 1.300V, now the vcore shoots up to 1.400V.... WTF???? Surely I'm missing something.... AI Suite ramps up the voltage to 1.470V, that cannot be good....
what motherboard and uefi bios is he using in the tutorial? I have asus prime z390-p and it doesnt have those "ai recommended values". My processor is 9700k coffee lake. I wonder if theres any special consideration to take there. I also have 4x8gb ram gskill ripjaws DDR4 3200mhz. Im not sure if the xmp profiles will work and should I take xmp i or xmp ii
That only show me that the 9900k ran a 2110 cb score the first time then Throttled on the second run with a score in the 1700’s.. so with that in mind is that because of temps or is in because of the power limits not being max out ?? Plus imo the 240 rad you got on there is nice looking but it’s no good for that cpu
my ryzen 1700 hits 1749 cb soo ... it just tanks when you don't move up your power limit but with more power comes more heat and that 240mm is a joke for that cpu ... im going to run some test on a retail chip ... ill let you know
I notice that also, no wonder the camera panned away from the screen. You can actually see the CPU speed drop from 5ghz to 3600mhz in cpuz. Check time stamp 36:45
Hi there, I have an Asus Rog Strix z390e motherboard and I do not have the "Adaptive" voltage mode option in my BIOS. Do you think I will need to move the jumper for CPU_Over Voltage on the motherboard itself to get this feature?
Have the prime z390-a with I9 9900k If I go to that Gui that shows Normal and try to use it. Says the cpu is locked. But If I go to the tweaker area can set all the cores to 5gig and my third part monitor shows all cores in real time at 5 and not the 3.6. Is this different than that gui cannot change? confused
Thanks very much. Often one simply gets a "do this, do that" without any explanation of why. I don't want to just ape what someone found will work on their particular configuration. I want to understand what is happening. You have my gratitude for helping me to make sense out of small, but relevant, useful aspects of overclocking. The hour long video went by so quickly, I didn't realize I'd watched the whole thing. I have one question. When I set the cpu voltage to manual at 1.325, it's stable at 5GHz. i tried the adaptive, since, from what you said, that seemed the most sensible long-term thing to do. I was unable to get through the cinebench run even setting it to 1.35 on adaptive. In cpu-z the voltage seemed to stay much lower than on manual, and consequently crashed twice. I'm not too concerned about it and don't really expect an answer, but am asking what I might change, or might have done wrong, in case others also have this question. Thanks again for a really helpful, clear video!!!
weird. my z390i gave me 5ghz on 3 cores. but only 4.2ghz on the rest (9900k). i have it on a 120mm aio. i did just re install windows. maybe i need to game a bit for it to learn more?? or what should i do to get a bit more out of the chip? i am not comfortable doing all the manual changes.
As different cooling solutions will produce different temperatures I did not focus on the temperatures we reached in the video as they would vary depending on your ambient temp, cooler and supporting fan configuration. I did communicate it is advisable to generally be around 80 to 85c as your peak load temperature. Depending on stress test I would even say 90c is acceptable as that is under a synthetic load as opposed to general application or game which would not produce those temperatures. This does not account for AVX loading which of course has to be factored differently as it will introduce significantly higher temperatures at lower clock speeds. Last but not least temperatures will vary based on the vids used which will vary from CPU to CPU ( as well as vary based on whether it is a manual vid or adaptive vid ). I would also note that there is a lot of variance in how you can read CPU temperatures ( per core as some are hotter than others, package temperature, DTS readout, our socket / CPU combination ). This adds in a lot of complexity which would have added another 20minutes or so to the video which already needed to be cut down. If you feel you need more information in this respect i sure you can find it in community forums.
I have the Hero XI (WIFI) and the following RAM G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Intel Z370 / X299 Desktop Memory Model F4-4400C19D-16GTZSW When I use any of the XMP settings I get a MEMOK error, and have to under clock the RAM to 4000mhz in DRAM Frequency. What am I doing wrong? is there anyway to get the XMP working and use the RAMs full potential?
I got similar build asus z390e gaming mobo with a i9 9900k and overclocked to 5000mhz like he did with the same settings but when I went to realbench and did a regular test it had no issue but when I did stress test and it got like 5 min into the test it crashed with the error clock_watchdog_Timeout. Any idea on what that means, and a fix?
@newegg studios please help after I OC when I turn the pc on then it will turn off for 2 sec then boot normally I was wondering if this is nomal on OC setting?, I have Maximus XI mobo, i9900k cpu.
