Corsair click the link in the description for more information what's up guys welcome back to Pauls hardware and this my long-awaited rise in 5 overclocking video now if you purchase a rise in CPU from AMD you should be excited about it because it's new architecture they're very fast they're very good price to performance ratios especially if you compare them to what intel currently has but also all of the rise in processes whether you talk and rise in 5 or rise in 7 or even the rise in threes that we don't actually know much about yet are all unlocked which means you can overclock them and whereas you might not be familiar with overclocking or comfortable with it this video is going to teach you how to do it I'm going to show you exactly the settings that I use for a couple basic overclocks myself I'll give you a couple of tips for overclocking beyond that if you want to get into it and then I'll give you some closing thoughts on what I think the best bang for the buck is when it comes to these rising v processors that are available but you could for instance take something that's less expensive like the Rison v 1400 which you can get for about a hundred and seventy bucks overclock it and then get the performance more in line with what you would get with the risin v 1500 X which costs about $190 now there are other things to take into consideration like whether or not you get a cooler with your rising v processor you do not for instance get a cooler with the risin v 1600 X the top-of-the-line rise in v processor that has six cores and twelve threads you do get a cooler this is the rape stealth for example with the risin v 1400 and then you will get the Wraith spire which is a little bit larger this is a 95 watt TDP cooler versus a 65 watt TDP and this one will come with the 1500 X and the 1600 so buying those processors will mean that you don't have to spend an extra 30 40 50 bucks on an aftermarket cooler although aftermarket coolers will perform a bit better than the race stealth and race fire and you might be able to get a little bit better overclocking out of them you can overclock with these coolers you just might not be able to achieve quite as high of a frequency and you might running a little bit higher temperature so I have all four risin five CPUs here the 1400 1500 X 1600 and 1600 X and since the UI is different for each vendor I have motherboards from the top three manufacturers specifically from Asus the prime V 350 plus and crosshair six hero X 370 from MSI the X 370 X power gaming titanium and from gigabyte the a be 350 gaming three I highly recommend updating your motherboards UEFI so you have access to the latest Ram compatibility updates you can download that from your motherboard support page on the manufacturers website as for software aside from Windows 10 I'll be using CPU Z and hardware monitor to verify that the overclock is enabled and to monitor temperatures remember that right now the 2x CPUs the 1500 X and 1600 X will report 20 degrees higher temperatures in the operating system so just bear that in mind and I also have Cinebench r15 to test performance improvements and the i-264 stress test for stress testing before you overclock definitely run Cinebench at least once to get a baseline score to compare against and now let's overclock the four main parameters that you're going to want to change when overclocking our CPU frequency CPU voltage memory frequency and memory voltage you should be able to adjust all of these settings in the UEFI bios of any decent V 350 or X 370 motherboard and then after you change the settings hit f10 to save and exit boot into Windows load up CPU Z and hardware monitor and then run Cinebench if you get through it without crashing you can then run Ida's 64 s stress test for a few minutes before going back to tweak settings more to really test ability you should run the stress test for a few hours or overnight once you've settled on your overclock now let's go over the specific settings you should be using for CPU frequency you should be able to overclock your Rison 5 CPU to between 3.8 and 4.1 gigahertz when overclocked your CPU will run all of its cores at this frequency as opposed to the out-of-the-box turbo speeds that you'll see listed on the box that only overclocks two cores at a time frequency is determined by a multiplier that's a number that you will set times 100 megahertz which is the system's base clock so for a 3.9 gigahertz we set the multiplier to 39 / 4 gigahertz it would be 40 and so on that's really all there is to it on some motherboards you can adjust the base clock to that we'll save that for an upcoming part 2 video ASUS motherboards will call the multiplier cpu core ratio gigabyte motherboards call it cpu clock ratio and MSI just called it CPU frequency to run your CPU cores at a higher frequency you're probably going to need to add more voltage now if you can get away with leading the voltage set to auto or even lowering it that is good because higher voltage will produce more heat every CPU will be a little different though when it comes to how much voltage is needed to overclock you can set the core voltage on a rise in CPU to between 1.3 and 1 point 4 volts safely and AMD actually says you can go up to 1 point 4 to 5 but you shouldn't go beyond that I personally stick to one point 4 or below for a long-term overclock core voltage can sometimes just be punched in manually like here in MSI's UEFI under CPU core voltage and then sometimes you'll have an offset option like with gigabytes dynamic v core here you can tell us to run at a certain number of millivolts higher or lower than it would normally some boards like the Asus crosshair 6 hero will let you do a manual or offset voltage a common technique is to start with a higher voltage manually set it to 1 point 4 or use an offset setting of plus point 1 5 or maybe point 2 in order to see how high you can get to CPU frequency then slowly start to back up the voltage a bit at a time until you experience instability in your stress test with the CPU overclock let's move on to memory there are two ways to overclock memory the first is to tell your motherboard to read the overclock settings from the memory itself these are usually called XMP settings but since XMP is technically an Intel thing MSI has called this a XMP there might be one or a few profiles that you can try with slightly different settings Asus called this vo CP for some inexplicable reason I think that stands for dammit overclock please and you give I decided that they didn't really care so they just went ahead and still called it XMP since Verizon can be finicky with some memory modules though these XMP settings won't always work so your second option is to manually set the frequency under DRAM frequency or memory frequency as UEFI updates come out there will be more options in this drop-down but right now it goes up to ddr4 3200 choose a speed that is at or below what your memory is rated for my Corsair ddr4 3000 kit for example I got to run at 29 33 and that works with pretty much all the rise inside CPUs that I've tried if you want to go a step further here you can go into advanced DRAM configuration and plug in the timings that are listed on the sticker on the side of your memory usually it's something like 16 16 16 39 finally you will definitely want to increase your memory voltage if you want to hit a higher memory frequency MSI lists this as DRAM voltage the default is 1.2 for ddr4 but you can set it to 1.3 5 almost always without any problems and he actually says you can go as high as 1.5 volts but I usually stick to 1.35 now whenever you punch in new settings and reset there is a good chance that your motherboard will cycle on and off a few times this is normal and usually if it drives 5 times or so and it can't boot it will prompt you with a message tell you that the overclock failed and it'll direct you to go back into the BIOS that is part of the process and usually it just means that you should try a little bit more voltage or perhaps a bit lower frequency once you've settled in on an overclock I definitely recommend saving it to a profile in the UEFI if your motherboard has that option and all the motherboards I've used today do have that and finally of course run an overnight stress test with i-264 so by adjusting those 4 settings CPU frequency CPU voltage memory frequency and memory voltage I am very confident that even with a stock Wraith cooler most of you guys can hit 3.8 or 3.9 gigahertz across all cores of your ride's in the CPU some of you with lucky chips will be able to even hit 4 or 4.1 gigahertz if you get a chip that overclocks better but is there more to overclocking than just these basic steps I think maybe you can get even just a bit more out of your CPU with some slightly more advanced overclocking techniques and I'll be covering those in a follow-up video coming very soon so guys that wraps it up for my overclocking guide with Rison 5 if you want my opinion on which of these rising 5 CPUs is the best one to go with I like the r5 1600 you get six cores and twelve threads you get a nine five watt cooler that comes in the box it cost a good 20 or 30 bucks less than the 1600 x does and you're not hampered by having less l3 cache or anything like that now the r5 1400 I think is an interesting option it is the cheapest out of these bunch however you do get half as much l3 cache you get 8 Meg's instead of 16 Meg's you don't get a 95 watt cooler you get the 65 watt cooler and it runs about 300 megahertz slower out of the box than the r5 1500 X so I would opt for the 1500 X for 20 bucks more if you have that option or if it's within the budget but if you're really really tight get in the 1400 isn't a bad idea because you do have that upgrade pass and down the line if the 1400 isn't pull isn't pulling its weight if you need more than four cores you can upgrade to a six core rise in five or even an eight core rise in seven a little bit down the line anyway guys thank you so much for watching this video I hope you have
