$400 Assassin's Creed Odyssey Build | Overclocking the i5-6500TE

2018-10-12
right here on the table we've got all these pieces that have come together over the last few months and we're gonna be putting them together and making one epic assassin's creed Odyssey build and this is probably the most interesting part of the build right here this is the i-5 6500 te now it's a low-power consumption low TDP rated for core for threaded i-5 on six gen but there is a little bit of a trick here with the z170 pro gaming motherboard we can put in a custom BIOS and that will enable overclocking on this four core so we're gonna see how well once we overclock the CPU the game can run on it we've also got this right here that we picked up for a real good price this is the sapphire nitro rx 580 we've got this for 230 Aussie dollars it's pretty much one of the best rx 580 as you can get but it also looks the best in my opinion - really wicked looking card then going through storage we've got our typical SSD and hard drive for backup and then we've got a cooler here that was just sort of thrown in with the mix when I got this motherboard and we've also got this ddr4 memory that we pulled out of the build that I recently got on the channel with the 5820k I'll put the link up here if you guys want to check out that deals hunt then we got the 700 watt and Jack power supply that someone threw in for free when I bought a heap of pcs off them apparently it's got a noisy fan so that should be pretty easy to replace we'll be pulling that apart seeing what we can do with that and then down here we've got a CM storm case this thing is pretty dirty it needs some check yes loving but after we're done cleaning this all up it should be looking like a race car ready to ride some horses so we did pass the PALS play and there was a bit of noise coming out of it I just wasn't sure if it was the fan or not so I quickly cut off the fan and we're gonna test it one more time now and see if it is indeed the actual power supply making the noise and it actually is now something like this is pretty dangerous too the easiest way to completely power it off is just turn it off at the switch and then let this motherboard here drain all the power out as you see here the power is going through the motherboard so let that drain out completely and then there should be no charge left in the power supply but we can pretty much chuck this in the bin because yeah it works which is really strange I've never seen this before a power supply will make some really weird noise but actually still works absolutely fine that's a shame because the cooler as well the other cool we had didn't fit either so we're using this knock Shore cooler I've had sitting around here for a long time and so things like this do add cost to the build unfortunately because now we're gonna have to use another power supply and we're using another cooler already but these are the problems you do come into when you are building used PCs unfortunately and this is all I've got on hand at the moment I got this on an eBay sale for 40 ozzie dollars never heard of the brand before game max but hopefully it doesn't blow up so let's give it a shot last night we're trying to overclock this thing a lot and we got max a big clock on the motherboard at 180 it seems to be topping out there and I just want to go any higher and that's about four point one four gigahertz unfortunately I'd like to go higher I know the CPU definitely can do it but I think the motherboards holding it back if you guys remember like back in the H 55 P 55 and X 58 era the motherboards B clock can become a limiting factor and I think that's what's become of this sort of CPU and motherboard combo here so not to impress with this overclock we will try some different memory just to rule out the ddr4 that's currently in there and here we are now after playing those games we're at conclusion time and this PC ended up now costing me about five hundred and seventy ozzie dollars or if here in the US about four hundred US dollars as we've gone through we had to change the power supply because it was literally letting off some weird crackling noise and that wasn't the fan either so I've never seen that before and then we had the cooler we had to change that over because it just didn't fit and along the way we came in to some different problems like the CPU not being able to get as high as I'd liked it to so we ended up settling for four point one four gigahertz even trying some different memory out didn't help that so we stuck with the original ddr4 Corsair memory got that 226 66 megahertz and at these speeds it did a phenomenal job of playing games with the RX 580 at first I thought was an RX 570 does cuz I just had the initial windows installed drivers that get pre-installed from Windows Update on that rig and then we updated the drivers and it was funny because I was playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey and the first I was like these this FPS numbers are way too low and I'm seeing an RX 570 pop up and I'm like damn did I get hosed with this graphics card and I thought no way and then updated the drivers in the performance literally doubled in this game just by a driver update so that was impressive I then had my rx 580 becoming unlocked from the driver update which again I've never seen that before either pretty weird and then speaking of Assassin's Creed Odyssey itself it played really nicely on low and high settings low settings seemed to stress out the CPU a little bit more and match it sort of a hundred percent to a hundred percent with the rx 580 and we did overclock the RX five eight and got some decent overclocks out of that too we go to fourteen hundred and thirty megahertz and then the memory went up to 2250 megahertz which is quite pumped and then going back into Odyssey and changing it to high settings the GPU was again sitting at 100% and the CPU was being a little bit less utilized so the results were pretty similar though I mean graphically this game looks really nice at high settings but low settings you get a little bit more FPS but I'd honestly just stick it at high settings for this title and it did honestly have lot less stuttering I actually didn't notice any visible stuttering at all playing the normal game mode as opposed to the previous Assassin's Creed origin which I've played and that had some real noticeable hiccups and stuttering so they've definitely improved it compared to the previous installment now we decided to boot up this new game called Ring of a sea Liam and it was free-to-play and it was surprisingly really fun it's like a mix between fortnight and also pub G except they've got sort of both things right from the get-go the game is really well optimised and it's also a lot of fun it sort of takes both elements and it has that more realistic look that I honestly do prefer with pub G over for tonight's cartoon style graphics and the good news is it plays really well so optimize both on the CPU utilizing near 100% on those four cores a lot of the time and then the graphics card as well at 100% at 1080p was being utilized too so it does seem like it's a little bit hungry for GPU power but once you stop it down to low settings you'll still get a really good look and a really enjoyable experience but do stay tuned I will be doing a cheap potato for this PC title in particular since it is free to play I'm sure a lot of you guys out there will want to see what's the cheapest we could do this title for because I do see this game ring of a cilium taking off and being the next sort of pub G & fortnight in my opinion it's looking really nice and honestly it's actually a lot of fun I do from my first get-go prefer it over pub G in both fortnight and I played a lot of pub G as well so that's saying some this title is actually pretty cool but as you guys know sometimes I don't get things 100% all the time I usually come into little problems sometimes I come into big problems and this bill just had these problems that just popped up all the way through the build is again the biggest thing that disappointed me was probably those overclocks not going anywhere near what I wanted them to go to I would have been happy with around 4.6 gigahertz which I know these CPUs especially the four cores are capable of doing but since it had such a low multiplier being the 6500 te it just wouldn't go any higher than 4.1 4 gigahertz putting the onus back on the motherboard the docks were cooler I'll probably change that over for something like a $10 cool that's a lot cheaper since it's now not putting out really any heat at all and also that problem with the power supply I mean what was going on there it was making some weird clicking noise and that wasn't the fan either we cut the fan off and that is really dangerous that could like seriously I don't know I've never seen a power noise like that before that's still booted up the PC so I think it's something crazy waiting to happen but with all that aside everything ended up working out in the end if you're gonna do the z170 overclock the non k overclock i'd recommend going for something with a higher multiplier for starters but when all said and done this is a PC that not only has good price performance still it does perform really well with that rx 580 doing a great job it also it looks pretty decent I am digging that front LED found the red fan on this build plus the case was a breeze to build in and I mean we did come into some problems but that's what happens sometimes when you build and use pcs but in the end we still have a PC that plays games really well and it still has pretty decent price performance not the best price performance that I'm used to providing you guys but nonetheless it does get up and go and that rx 580 does look really good and it does perform really well too but one thing to keep in mind with the Z 117 on K overclocked something that's important to mention is you may come into some problems with the temperatures sitting at a hundred degrees even though they're nowhere near a hundred degrees and so that's something to keep in mind also the SI states don't work properly some of those notes that they said in that custom bias update will apply depending on the motherboard you use and of course I would recommend going with something with a higher multiplier so probably not going with these t or te CPU skews unless you get a good motherboard that you know goes really high on the B clock and that's about it for today's budget build if you guys enjoyed this one - be sure to hit that like button and let us know in the comment section below have you either tried the new ring of the ceiling or the Assassin's Creed Odyssey or if you played both would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on these titles and as always I'll catch you in the next one peace out for now bite and also I deleted the CPU and I really didn't need to delete it because yeah 4.1 4 gigahertz such a letdown you
