hey YouTube welcome back to take us it is brownies coming back to you guys today with an optimization guide for gamers for Haswell so I've been doing a lot of testing in the last three weeks and I've come to the conclusion that Haswell is very good for games it is a good CPU it does run hot but that all aside it you know once you get it set up and you get it tweaked it is a really damn good CPU for gaming so let's have a look at the settings here this is the first things I've done here frame latency test so basically if you look at this graphic period what the hell is this this is frame latency testing so what I'm doing here is I'm actually testing all these dots here are individual frames so when you see a big like this one here a big chunk out that means that there's usually a micro stutter and so this was like I think the map was like loading up some text on the screen or something so you can see that's consistent through all the frame latency testing here but you can see that some of the frame latency testing is better than the others and now this was just playing with a setting called the ring bus or some other motherboard manufacturers called the Encore I think of Zeus calls at the cash ratio whatever you call it it's a setting and it needs to be tweaked and so this is the first I noticed with if you have your core clock at 4.2 gigs and you leave this on auto ring bus this produced a decent result as we see of the frame lazy testing here is pretty damn smooth if you now we moved on to having the the raine bus at the same speed as the core clock and this actually produced the worst result as we see here 147 FPS versus 149 point five and not only that the frame latency in my opinion was worse as well so I recommend not clocking if you're gonna clock your core clock don't core clock your ring bus to the same speed as your core clock that's just my recommendation what I did find though is that having it a hundred megahertz below your core clock gave the best results and I tested this a numerous times and this is what the best result was having it a hundred megahertz below you can see here it produced 150 3.1 fps very good so that's what you want to have it any clock you have you want to have it desirable 100 megahertz below that's the best setting now let's move on with our now we've got that optimized core clock and ring bus we then move on to the memory so I wanted to test the memory how do memory speeds relate to gaming with has well as we see here the first setting we've got the auto and you know the results are smooth and then we move on to the XMP profiles in the end we managed to get an extra four fps and it was we see here the lines are actually very damn tight so the frame latency it's I mean it's debatable which is better I personally think the XMP profiles was the smoothest and moving on last to my optimal this is my tweaked 1866 memory clock this is the one that I had this is one that I poured it over from my SD 77535 70 K and you see here the has well I just think it doesn't like even though the FPS is higher at 162 the has as well just doesn't really like the higher memory clocks for gaming so we see here the frame Lancie in my opinion is actually worse than the other two so I'm gonna test this a lot more in the next coming weeks I'm gonna get to the bottom of this 1866 versus 1600 but in the meantime I'm gonna suggest maybe 1600 speed XMP tight timings or if you can get your timings even tighter then go for that so yeah I found that it made you know four frame latency it made the smoothest experience on XMP now moving on to temperatures how this has well behaved how does this beast behave in the temperature Department now this is the interesting thing our tested memory speeds it made no difference to the core temperature as expected the rain bus also surprisingly made no difference in temperature regardless of what you had the ring bus setup as you can see here I had my core clock at 40 to 4.2 gigs at the auto ring bus it didn't change the temps and when I said the ring bus the 4.2 gigs didn't make a difference also at 4.1 it didn't make a difference either the VR efficiency interestingly enough I turned the VR efficiency often boils and that consistently made a one or two degree difference in temps so I'm gonna recommend if you guys are overclocking turn off VR efficiency so for some reason that made a one-degree temp like consistently so that's what I found with that and now moving on to the most important part with as well is the voltage versus the clock speed versus the clocks for temps so as we see here I have my four point two gigs at one point one to one point one two volts this is my four point two gig clock for this summer maybe an overclocked tutorial for you guys showing you guys that that nice clock there and we've got the four point two at one point two four volt now when we do that when we up the voltage point one two volt it just increases the temps a lot so we got there 79 degrees however at that same voltage we were able to manage to get four point six and when we got four point six it only increased four degrees which is very interesting because it just says that it says that Haswell is very voltage dependent so just be careful with your voltages watch your voltages it's the most crucial thing for heat in Tazewell I thought with ivy bridge I mean off my memory I thought Ivy Bridge ran both like the higher the clock the hotter the the core got but also the higher voltage I thought it was equal this is definitely more slated for voltage so watch your voltage carefully I probably wouldn't recommend going over 1.3 volt that's just my recommendation even 1.25 volt for a 24 stable overclock 24-7 stable so it's a one point two five volt would be that limit if you're looking for that nice 24/7 stable overclock obviously if you've got like a custom water cooling kit you've deleted you've got liquid pearl whatever on your core and you're a real enthusiast you're probably gonna you know go for that 1.3 volt but yeah be kept very careful with the voltage and Haswell so anyway guys that's how Haswell behaves so this is how this beast behaves I'm gonna say in summary and if we just go through that again I'm gonna recommend having your ring boss or your cash ratio whatever your motherboard manufacturer calls it 100 megahertz below I'm gonna recommend for now the XMP profiles at 1600 megahertz I'm also going to recommend turning off VR efficiency and I'm gonna recommend keeping your voltages as low as possible so don't use the auto overclocks on the motherboard manufacturers because they tend to over volt and this is it's it's a lot more crucial on Haswell not to over volt your cpu so I guess I hope you enjoyed that and if you have any questions about this guide please leave a comment the comment section below or if it's urgent please p.m. me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if you haven't ready subscribe to tech yes City this is the place of the yes may and yes woman sorry guys I'll catch you soon with the 4.2 overclocking tutorial when I get some time I'm gonna go get a coffee now it's a Saturday and 7-eleven they make some awesome coffee here anyways peace out for now bate
