what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and if you saw in my last video which is gonna pop out here somewhere maybe we updated the test bench with a 79 80 X II a processor that admittedly I had not been using like the whole time I've had it because of the insane amount of power draw and my concern about it being lesser performing for games when the whole point of a test bench is to test things like graphics cards and such but if you want to know whether or not that claim actually held true then go and check out that video but what we're gonna do today is I figured since I've not really done much with this chip and it's been out for a long time and motherboards have been built and bios's have been biases biases by I by OSS I what ever since the BIOS has been updated now and matured I thought we'd see how well I can actually overclock this chip obviously a disclaimer this was sent by Intel and it's probably a golden sample chip so your results are definitely going to vary but I mean I'm still gonna push this thing up bar might even blow up EVGA offers a full range of components including video cards motherboards power supplies cases and peripherals regardless of your needs EVGA sure to have you covered to see what EVGA can do for your next build head to EVGA comm and the whole reason I'm doing this is nothing more than just being an enthusiast thing because I like to overclock but we're gonna be checking things out here with Cinebench see what kind of scores we can get there and also 3d mark because I've got my 10 atti SC 2 on here from EVGA will be overclocking that as well 32 gigs of Dominator platinum and we've got a 1200 watt Platinum power supply and a power meter hooked up so we can see exactly how much wattage is being drawn from the wall with this setup do be fair I am NOT exactly putting things into my favor because I'm also running it through a heavy duty extension cord which can cause issues when you're pulling that much power and also we have other things plugged into the socket where this is plugged into so yeah probably not the best way to go about this but that's never stopped me before what we need to do obviously here is a base test so we are running stock frequency stock everything and we are drawing 90.9 watts so we'll just call it 90 watts here from the at all stock settings and once we load up Cinebench that will obviously rise now this 18 core 36 thread CPU is like 185 watt TDP at stocks I think 2.6 gigahertz but yeah obviously we'll be pulling more than that you can see 201 261 262 it's about 262 Watts pretty steady right now with everything factory and our Cinebench score is a 3383 you can tell by this little line right there that that's no that's no pleb that's a Xeon X 56 50 below it which is a 12 quart or 24 thread CPU so you can see obviously we blew that out of the water and that's just what the factory turbo 3.0 Intel stuff we should also should run I think 3d mark so that we can see what our where scores start at my goal is to see if I can't get myself on the top 100 again with a single GPU probably not going to happen because of all the Titan Voltas floating around out there but I think we can I think we can get pretty high so we're gonna go with 3d mark firestrike because everyone's kind of moved on to time spy and time spy extreme and I'm hoping that most people have just forgotten about regular old lonely firestrike down here dx11 test and I'm hoping that I can get myself on the top 100 because all the Titan volts is out there definitely taken up that top spot and most of those guys are running 79 80 X's as well but research has told me that most of the retail samples are having a hard time hitting 4.0 and higher and I know for a fact this chip can go farther than that because I ran 4.4 in the last video without even trying which I didn't even realize was a golden sample until I did research and realized huh well I guess I guess until threw me a bone so let's see where we benchmark and how far how far higher up or we can go so a single 1080 TI running at stock speeds gave us a graphic score of 28,000 159 a physics score or physics physics score of 23,000 865 for a total score of 23,000 640 we are faster than 98% of all results which is entirely unacceptable that is not acceptable now I am running the EVGA X 299 dark which is built specifically for this task and that's why I'm doing this again look at the vrm cooling alone actual heatsink with a heat pipe fins active cooled fans I mean that it's not just passive cooled like so many motherboards are a couple things you need to do though and to keep in mind obviously you need to have plenty of power supply this will draw a lot of wattage as soon as you start overclocking it and you need to make sure that you are running both eight pin power connectors on the CPU and you need to make sure that your power supply is rated high enough so I'm actually running a 1200 watt Platinum power supply it's the gigabyte one I remember I don't know who there om is for that and so far it's been so far so good cooling also is something you need to over build I'm just running my standard 360 with ebo supremacy block water-cooled admittedly this deserves like at least a Peltier or lnto to get anywhere near any sort of top ten list or something like that but you should also delete it things these are things I haven't done so that's why I'm hoping to see how far we can get today without stacking things in my favour I've got an extension cord I'm doing water cooling with a standard block I am not deleted and I'm not chilling it so I want to see how far we can get so I'm running Cinebench r15 here just to do some my preliminary tests there is obviously a much bigger gambit of testing look for pure stability prime95 all that sort of stuff we're not doing that today we are just seeing where we can get in Cinebench and then in three mark I also like to bring up the task manager to see if there's anything running in the background like Windows Update downloads for steam because those will all affect your results so we're gonna go ahead and run it now with a 4.4 and see how much we gained on top of our stock run which was a 33 83 expect us to be fully stable temperatures jumped up into the 60s and 70s on the core still very good there this is going to be a significantly faster result so yeah we went from a 33 83 to a 43 47 so almost a thousand point improvement by just changing a few things in the BIOS what I'm also going to show you real quick by doing another run though it's just how much more voltage or wattage it's using so we're idling right now at 175 watts from the wall if I run this CPU test watch what's gonna happen now to the Volt or the heating voltage the wattage 545 Watts let's just call it 55555 that works too this is why you need to have a clean power source and you need to have good cooling and a very good power supply to run this GPU or this CPU whatever it is the thing that makes the computer process stuff so I'm gonna run 4.5 right now 561 562 560 and our temperatures went up into the 70s and 80s on the court so we definitely saw obviously an improvement of performance to a 44 38 4.6 so we have 579 watts during that run a new score of 45 16 at 4.6 and our temperatures are sitting in the upper 70s to low 80s we're still good because member 1:05 it's where we're gonna tell it to chill out so all right I'll stop talking we'll just do the death 4.7 here we go CPU voltage goes up to 1.2 400 good temperatures are still sitting in the 70s and 80s I can deal with this new score 4580 I wish they'd really up the the sensitivity of the mouse in the Box 4.8 almost positive over to up the voltage here CPU into 2 we're gonna take the adaptive and bump that up to like 75 so now we'll be going up to almost 1.3 volts I just want to get through the test without it melting that's all I care about 3d mark is not going to stress the CPU scrunches Cinebench 4.8 gigahertz and here we go package is at 91 92 94 cores are still in the 90s and 80s nothing hit 100 I think we're good four thousand seven hundred and sixteen on that our max temperature was 97 C on the package do I dare go for four point nine four point nine there it is right there four point eight nine nine I hate that crap watch what happens when push the button it's plug in a crash hole up there goes but the amazing part is it crashes the application application error more information cannot be found it's like something happened okay we have pumped in more voltages I don't think it's gonna work though holy Sh hard locks we hit 99c on the package okay so maybe we need just a little bit more bit more 188 100 200 300 500 for its start alone but look they're hitting 105 yeah so we're gonna have to call it at 4.8 because I can't go any farther so obviously we're limited now by cooling because I can't get more cooling in here so we're back to four point eight all the adds extra voltages we adjusted I moved it back to where we were stable now I'm gonna take my memory from the XMP 3466 now I'm gonna bump that up to like 3800 so in firestrike normal you can see how much wattage we were actually pulling during the test run to do the cpu test this CPU test is not like Cinebench it does not let me look we're pulling 440 watts 447 we're getting a hundred FPS though huh CPU test has been insane socket temps only at 59 C and it's not pulling nearly as much why just Cinebench so my score was 25,000 858 graphics core again in the same 28,000 931 but 35,000 19 we went for a 23,000 physics core to a 35 we've picked up 12,000 with overclocking what I want to point out at 4.8 we're still sitting in the 60s and 50s as our max temps so I'm think I might try 4.9 again on this okay so we've got to get up to twenty seven thousand seven hundred and sixty-five I don't think that's going to happen I honestly don't think that's gonna happen so here's what we settled on a Poseidon water-cooled because we've seen good results with this card it's 2088 on the core not the fastest I have in here but the easiest one to get installed at this time plus 550 on the memory giving us 6100 Hertz times two so twelve thousand two hundred megahertz of memory speed and we are running 4.9 on the CPU we dropped the memory down from 3,800 down to 3,600 we just need to make it through three mark that's it we see make it through one run just one Oh see what'd I tell you I'm not gaining 3,000 points with this overclock I'm gonna happen nope so 23,000 640 was way too low to make it on to the top 100 but then we ended up getting a twenty seven thousand eight ninety nine which was good enough to get us into that like right around the 97 nish marketing-wise or something like that but then we didn't stop there twenty-eight thousand 362 but I wasn't done there cuz then I got four point nine to work well enough to give me twenty eight thousand seven hundred and thirty-one where if we compare those results online we are definitely in the better than 99% of all results we moved from right around here all the way up to there and if we look at the Hall of Fame which is what we care about because that should have updated by now oh geez there I am right there number 61 the Canadian Jays two cents cuz we still don't know exactly how that happened when I was here with Ken kingpin that's okay my father was from Quebec a but that's besides the point I was well off the bottom of the chart I wanted to be back on the chart and Here I am now at number 61 it's not deleted it's through an extension cord just a regular 360 water-cooled loop and the graphics cards water-cooled but that was barely overclocked at all - so yeah and I like the fact that there are plenty of Titan V's underneath me this video had no purpose other than me showboating and playing around with some hardware so guys thanks for watching and don't forget I am giving away a box full of stuff that you know you're gonna want to enter that giveaway so I'll put a link to that in the description below and yeah thanks for watching this completely pointless video but we had fun making it we'll see you guys in the next one this is silver coming through on camera
