EVGA BIOS Includes Stress Test for OCing

2018-06-07
everyone we're at the EVGA suite now at Computex 2018 we had a couple of requests via Twitter for this this is OC robot so EVGA has an update coming for BIOS 4x 299 dark motherboards probably in July and a couple of the things are doing include Auto overclocking and then they've also just got a complete overhaul of the interface in general before that this video is brought to you by the cable mod vertical GPU adapter a universal kit that lets you add a vertical GPU mount to almost any enclosure the vertical GPU adapts our positions video cards further back from the glass than most stock vertical GPU mounts aiding in thermals and also easily sockets into the PCIe expansions lots of compatible cases the after kit is brand new and makes it easy to show off video cards even in cases that don't include a stock vertical GPU mount learn more at the link in the description below so for the main thing here what we have on screen right now is I just let it run an auto see I'll show you how it works in a moment and the end result was the thin just kind of stress tested in BIOS without having to reboot into Windows stress tested itself with something I'm told is similar to prime95 maybe FFTs or something like that and all we're doing is stressing the CPU so it's pushing frequency voltage and checking against temperature so the end result this is a 280 C LC for reference literally that's the name of the product from EVGA and 4.5 gigahertz at one point two seven three volts is actually not too bad the temperature is going to be the main limiter here so as you progressively increase your cooler size or capacity it will change the frequency and voltage at which you can run a stable overclock depending on what's looked up in a massive matrix so it's all kind of a huge lookup table that will step up the frequency to the max stable frequency and then try to step down the voltage to the minimum stable voltage without crashes which is just where you want to be so typically speaking this kind of thing is going to be not quite as good as a manual overclock but if you can get pretty close to a manual overclock it's a good way to get a starting point before you do fine tuning on on your own one note here though this is a bit different from some of the auto overclock buttons we've seen on other motherboards where it's basically a lookup table with maybe three or four settings and that's kind of it so I'm looking forward to testing this zhan sometime soon because it does look promising the other items here so under the extras tab you drop it down if you don't want to do the OC robot setup and you want to actually overclock it yourself you can still do that except when you drop down it's got a built-in stress test the same this uses so as you continue working on fine-tuning your own overclock manually be able to do in BIOS stress tests which if it works just as well as prime then that's great because it saves a ton of time rebooting into Windows each time if it goes unstable even freezes in BIOS it's a quick restart to get back into BIOS so that's the July BIOS update for EVGA dark motherboards as you can see the entire interface also changed a bit but the options should remain the same other than OC Robo auto OC and the over other overclocking stress testing features we talked about UJ also has an ex 299 dark mini micro ATX motherboard excuse me so we'll have some information on that some b-roll and then I'll have some vrm information that will link in the description below once we get an article up if you curious about what BRM that motherboards gonna be using so as always subscribe for more go to patreon.com/scishow his next stuffs out directly thank you for watching I'll see you all next time
