okay guys what up this is a brownies you coming back today with a tutorial today on how to overclock your cpu in general so my last tutorial was Ivy Bridge today I'm going to explain in general so in other words if I picked up an AMD motherboard and processor or if I picked up another or a Sandy Bridge and a motherboard and I picked up a q9 550 and a motherboard what would I do initially to find those good clock settings that I want to use for stable overclocks so let's get into it guys first you need three programs you're going to need core temp CPU Z and prime95 there's the three that I use there are others that you can use but you it's up to you guys you know and another thing I want you guys to do is after you've installed your OS I want you to sorry in my computer right-click properties go to Hardware right click on where your OS is installed click properties change settings policies and make sure enable rikishi on the device is turned off ok so your system crashes and their files with them and they become crop so let's do that ok just stress testing so I'm running an Ivy Bridge here at 4.2 gig and I'm running it at 1.10 volts so that's at the moment this is my daily overclock and it's really stable and I like the temps that I'm getting so that's really nice overclock ok so there's three programs core temp will give you the temps of your CPU CPU Z will give you the information about your CPU the volts it's running out and the speed it's running at and prime95 obviously will just stress test the CPU so obviously you want to stress test for a couple hours after if you know to make sure you got a pretty stable clock so anyway let's restart the let's restart and go into box so now basically when we get into BIOS we are going to get I'm going to go back to your default settings and I straight back there and I am going to basically go back to default settings and show you what I would do so let's go back loaded ufi defaults so now everything is back to default settings okay so now every motherboard is going to be different okay Zeus asrock gigabyte they're all going to have different like layouts for their boss but there's going to be a section where it's CPU configuration or somewhere along that lines I had little bit man so my baby's just crying he's getting excited you did he wants a clock as well when he grows old um hey guys and since my last tutorial on a Star Wars Lego watch gives me powers unknown powers that not even God Himself can fathom these powers that this lego star was watch gives me is you don't believe anyway but set stock settings this is the stock settings as I'm showing you here turbo this goes up to 3800 not to worry okay so let's go to auto we're going to leave that on auto at the moment we're back everything's back to default settings and what we are going to do is this time we are going to find out on Auto how much voltage we are getting okay so let's say that an exit we're going to find out first off everything on auto what voltage are we getting in cpu-z what temperatures are we getting and obviously what speeds are we getting so let's find that out now okay so let's start it up okay everything's back on default very easy we're going to load up call Tim and yes SSDs are awesome the varying runs a lot faster Ivy Bridge is really fast too it's really responsive CPU okay so let's get that running now okay so we are basically on 1.10 volts at 3.6 gigahertz so basically this is my stock voltage okay this is what the manufacturers said look one by one volts on stock volt stock settings one point one volt is what your we're going to make your CPU overclock to now obviously as you saw before mine was 4200 at the same voltage so I'm getting six hundred megahertz for free that's because you know that's what I program that's what I've fiddled around with that's the settings that I've ended up coming at so one more one volt so what we're going to say is okay let's restart this computer now and try and get the lowest voltage at this stock setting okay so that would give us firstly that would give us an idea of how good our CPUs if we've got a good one or a poor one or an average one it'll give us an idea of what overclocks we can expect at what volts as well so first off leave that on although CPU ratio stays on order and let's try now CPU voltage fixed mode okay so offset mode is for when you've got your settings you know what voltages you want um you know what voltages you want and that's you know offset modes for like after you've got sort of your settings figured out but if you want you can straight away you can ignore fixed mode if you want because you know it's a 1.1 volt okay so that's what the stock setting is right so we know that we know level 5 is the auto setting for load line calibration on this motherboard so if you know what your settings are load line calibration like it basically when you load up a program it will get we'll have more volts and then as the program is being used and as the calls are being stressed it'll lower the voltage so I use level 5 as well so we want to use level 5 LLC I'm going to use fixed mode at this time see one point one volt that's what it's going to tell you okay it's going to tell you in bars it's going to tell you Windows that this is your stock fixed setting at order now why don't we try I'm feeling pretty lucky so why don't we go low why don't we go ridiculously low point nine this is frigging low so we're going to try it stock settings point nine volts basically fixed voltage so what fixed voltage does is opposed to offset fixed voltage will keep it at that voltage at all times if you change the offset voltage then you will enable your motherboard to use speedstep technology so that doesn't even work okay that's not even booting okay that's pretty pretty dangerous because if you go too low and you can't even boot your motherboard you're gonna have to clear the CMOS okay so that's a little bit annoying but let's we can get into BIOS so that's kind of cool let's try nine five now so like I said in my other tutorial if you are not even getting into Windows I recommend going either 0.03 or 0.05 huh I'm going to go 0.05 because that was just fast crash that didn't even go anywhere so let's try point nine five this time see how we go now yeah so basically what you're doing is you're finding how you know fixed voltage and of course Simon is normally since we took those hard drive options off before we're not going to corrupt any files I window as a starting ormally it should be no problems yes sorry back to where I was before on the overclocking okay we're we're just finding down orientation we're finding these settings ok so if loader wearing Windows now ok point nine five volts everything's on stock we're going to load up this and it's giving us C 3.6 again let's get some maximum meat going and now if this runs for about ten minutes I mean it if it runs for about ten minutes even even a couple of minutes you know it kind of means that you are a little bit stable you're getting close to that voltage so this is fixed voltage this is going to stay since we've got load like I said before since we've got the load line calibration on level five it will drop the voltage as the pores are being stressed so now in CB Gesu were reading point nine volt as opposed to our fixed voltage which said point nine five so this is a good thing a load like calibration is a good thing it's actually I never saw it on my old motherboard which was a LGA 775 I never saw this feature so I'm glad it's I actually might assume I'm did V drop something that yeah I'm actually I'm getting bit I like this setting it's good so there we go guys fixed voltage it seems to be pretty good temperatures are really low I'm my temperatures before like 67 something so I've gone down at 11 degrees but obviously was 600 meters it's slower now that's pretty good that seems to be pretty good okay so what's this saying what's it saying to us is this look you'll point two volts under what the manufacturer was giving you okay so in other words this CPU can run almost point two volts lower at the same speeds as opposed to what the motherboard manufacturer or Intel was saying it could do now that for me is a big difference so that's going to be more power usage hey that yeah that's going to be more power uses it's going to juice the life of your CPU more so the higher your voltage goes the less life your city is going to have so yeah if you guys are you know economy you know budget minded and you want to save power but you don't really need the speeds of going to four point two gigs then you can keep your settings at here it's pretty good you know that's going to save power okay now what I'm going to say is we'll look the point nine ball point nine five fixed voltage LLC five we've got we got this three point six obtained so now let's try going higher so we'll try 4 gigahertz this time okay let's try that so I'm going to restart the computer now these three programs guys I've given the links in my description below so you can get them if you want to they're pretty easy to get that's actually a pretty good overclock guys I might even use that sometimes you know when I'm that's actually I found a good article for myself there I will not not a good Oh quite a good under clock sort of that's what they call it so there we go so louver point 95 and we're a fixed mode okay so what we want to do now is we want to find say for instance now let's try for Gigot because I've never done 40 Hertz before okay at least all coral I call called better because if you look at per quarter we had you know for call ratio limit it was three point six and that's what my computer was running at when I needed the power so I like all core better because it's just easier to tune okay so let's try four four gigahertz this time so all course if you ratio and if you haven't if you have a different motherboard it may be called something else and may be called core activity I don't know because I've only used as rocks and a Zeus's interface for this azusa's was kind of like an aeroplane cockpit it was a little bit weird it's kind of like what the hell's going on when I first saw it so I love as rocks BIOS interface very easy to use guys so let's keep looking now we're going to go let's try four gigahertz let's just go straight up a little bit of power let's make a go okay so we're going you know we're going another four hundred Meg's over what we had before let's try and do 1.0 one that's what I'm going to roughly say is okay 1.01 volts at four gigahertz now I'm pretty sure this will crash as it's pretty low if it doesn't crash great I still don't probably I don't understand ivory bridge a hundred percent still probably understand about eighty-five percent so very you know it's a very interesting process or in that as again well as the CPU speeds go up and the voltage goes up it really gets the diminishing returns really sets in let's try that again so that just didn't end but so again so saying about that thing of 0.3 higher I'm going to go four point oh five it's simple easy done Brian easy that's one of those bronies I do things pretty easy let's start that up so we're just going to beat this time that 4 gigahertz and we were slow there's normally there should be a problem and let's keep going with this so I have tweaked my windows if you guys want to tweak your windows I have a whole guide there to tweak your windows and make it faster make it more responsive so you see my menus are really fast you know everything's really responsive and it feels more responsive so thanks you know everything's really good now let's slide up cool temp we are in Windows now we are starting fine ok maximum heat that's what we want guys that's frozen there we go so we got to go higher we just put it up I will go to 1.08 this time ok so you find your overboard okay so you're in fixed voltage we're four gigahertz now we are going to go up - it did start that time so I'm going to try 1.07 see how that goes and basically you're just going to keep trying settings until you get what works and you're going to find out what voltage your CPU likes so remember we know that our stock setting is 1 point 1 volt ok so when we use offset mode it's going to be 1 point 1 volt that's what it's going to use so now we are going to find out if this overclock is stable now at one point nine seven volts just getting 400 mega the thing about are your bread you get 400 megahertz you're just getting 400 megahertz more that's taking so much more time so ok CPU had a little bit of a bit of the wind let's try stressing this ok ok we right we're in now guys and obviously as you can see we're at 1 volt at 4 gigahertz that's after the load line calibration set in ok now that's a pretty good overclock I like that as well that's pretty damn stable I mean it's pretty damn solid what I'm trying to say is ok so I'm going to rush things here because it is a video and you know I'm going to try and rush things a little bit but yeah okay we're at 1.07 fixed voltage we seem to be relatively stable not I mean we're not stable goes out and tested it for hours but we are getting temperatures about 60 degrees which is pretty cool I liked actually I'm liking these temps I'm liking this overclock as well sounds pretty nice foggy Hertz 1 volt pretty low pretty cool things pretty cool Star Wars Lego watch yeah so let's go so that's done guys that's we found our fixed voltage theoretically I mean I still if I was doing this like really thoroughly I would test it for a couple hours but you know I'm just doing this really quickly so ok one bolt it's working pretty good temperatures are fine it's a good overclock for gigahertz ok so if you go different CPU it's going to be different obviously so now we're going to go back in okay so we know it's we know our fixed voltage is one point one and our fixed goal to do one point one so we are - 3 / offset okay so offset mode will leave the motherboard now we're going to change the offset mode and that will leave the motherboard settings right this what fix about what offset mode will do is it will run off the automatic motherboard voltage so the fixed voltage you will run at a fixed voltage all time the offset mode is going to say look it's one point one volt normally now it can be we can go since we found it at one point one seven we're going to get minus zero point three so that's what we're telling our mother would be go run under run point zero three volts under what I fix what our default settings for the motherboard boss now we're going to leave our load line calibration level five that hasn't changed for gigahertz overclock that hasn't changed either okay now we've found our fixed voltage sweet spot so we're going to say offset mode okay is 3 volts under the automatic setting of one point one now we're going to see that okay I'm going to save that and when I exit okay now but this is normally okay so I'm showing you guys what will normally happen on any motherboard and CPU what I found on this extreme for motherboard it might need a BIOS update but it's a little bit different it actually puts the fixed voltage at 1.15 so the I mean sorry the motherboard says the auto setting is 1.15 which is a little bit weird I you know I don't know why it says it's one point one in boss but in Windows it's saying it's one point one five that's just a you know that's just the programming one they programmed the boss that's all I did that they sort of messed up a little bit but anyway so basically not to worry because we know since we know that yeah it's one point one five or the automatic voltage for it is 1.13 okay so since we know this is now it were minus point zero three right this is because my boss is a little bit weird I will I will quickly show you anyway how I figure out you know overcoming my bias you know weirdness that asrock sort of thinned it's not a problem because you know you just going to do a little bit maths you say well go Cowboys II row three right I had it I had it at one point one I know so I had at one point I was seven before and now it's okay so it's basically 0.13 volts above what my overclock was before okay so it's basically one point one see if we saw before we had here we had one point one volts now it's one point one three so it's basically point one three over what we had before okay so that's easy to figure out now because we can just restart the computer and take it down 0.1 three volts which is a lot it's a lot near that's actually a lot anyway okay so we're going into overclocked weaker and we're going to say okay well let's try what down to 1.16 since you're a funny another board okay we'll try maybe one point one five five because it's being a little bit weird now that's and hopefully it should boot I mean it might crash it might need more that the semantics is the motherboard the biasing the motherboards being a little bit weird so yeah if you do your math you can figure it out yourself you see it's not much of a problem so that's booting it seems to be okay so far probably might have to give it because offset mode will see fixed fixed mode is more stable than offset mode guys so offset mode may need another point zero one volt compared to fixed mode because of the fact that it's under clocking and overclocking back you know back and forth with speedstep technology so you're going to remember that let's load this up processes okay and that that pretty much concludes this tutorial guys I'm showing you how I found this overclock and as we see there we're getting what we had before 1.1 by doing a little bit of math we've found you know it's pretty much where it was before in fixed mode and we're in offset mode now okay so that's it that's the guy that's how you find step-by-step that's how you find your overclock on any motherboard any CPU okay by those steps that I just taught you here now if you like this video guys please thumbs up if you've got any questions please leave them in the comment section below and of course please subscribe to keep Brian as you go on as you know as your subscriptions really helped me so I like to help you guys and I like to do tutorials and help people whenever I can so I hope this helped you today and if you you know please leave any comments and section below and I'll get back to you soon as I can okay alright guys peace out for now wait Ryan easy
