welcome back to tech s it is bronies got my back to you guys today with a complete overclocking tutorial for the G 32:58 Pentium now this is a Haswell CPU that's recently been released it's a dual-core and it's only $70 and it represents extreme value for money when you couple it with the budget motherboard like the gigabyte b85 that I am overclocking on today so essentially this motherboard and this Pentium 32:58 they make a great combo for a low budget gaming rig so anyway today I'm going to show you guys how to overclock it on this particular BIOS you may have a different boss like as rocker Zeus or MSI however the settings should overall be pretty similar anyway let's get on with it so the first three things first three programs you'll want to download a prime95 real temp and cpu-z now for prime 95 this is a stress tester so if you have another preferred stress tester like Ida 64 or OC CT then go ahead and by all means use that stress tester I just know I'm just used I'm very familiar with prime 95 and I find that for me it gives me a really good high safe max temps really quickly without wasting too much time so I really love this stress tester I mean I know the other ones are really good as well just I do prefer prime95 real temp is a program for pretty much just showing you the temperatures of your CPU at the moment it is really hot in this room it is about 31 degrees so it actually is quite hot in here and as you can see here the temperatures are 40 so they're normal completely normal at idle and then the last program we want to use is CPU Z this is essentially a program that will tell you the core voltage and also what overclock your processor is currently at so after you've downloaded these three programs we can then continue to install them and then restart our computer and we will go into the BIOS where we will be tweaking around with some settings now to get into the boss you just simply hit the hit the delete or the f2 key when you are starting up your system in my case it's the Delete key I believe for the gigabyte boss so as we're starting on the computer which hit the Delete key or the f2 key it depends which your computer can have them both at the same time that should enter the boss anyway once around the boss here we can see that we've got a huge amount of options here but I'm going to guide you guys through just the simple options to get a nice extra 30% out of your G 32:58 so anyway basically once we're in the gigabyte BIOS we can go down to advanced frequency settings now you will have to update your BIOS in order to do this especially on a b85 motherboard or any other non z motherboard from Intel if you're on a Z motherboard you might not have to update your boss however if you're on a non Z motherboard you will have to update your boss to the latest BIOS anyway let's get into it if we click on advanced frequency settings so we press enter and I'm going to use my keyboard for all these settings and I recommend you do the same I mean you can use your mouse it's just I'm used to using my keyboard in the boss and especially it's always good to have a keyboard with a number-pad on it in which you can dial in the settings manually anyway let's go to this so we're in advanced frequency settings and we go to CPU upgrade we don't touch that we don't touch the CPU core clock ratio we go down to advanced CPU core settings and I want you guys to click enter and enter this and then here we go to CPU clock ratio and I want you guys to take this sorry I want you to press the plus key and you can take this all the way up to 42 so since this motherboard actually does have a voltage limit of 1.2 volts you will want to start out at maybe 4 gigahertz or 4.2 or 4.3 because I believe it's pretty much a clock speed that's achievable and probably most Pentium 32:58 at 1.2 volt and now we go to K overclock we want to enable this essentially what this is is saying look this is a CPU that's overclocked and since this boss doesn't usually support overclocking we want to try and trick the CPU and say hey this is an overclockable bios or overclock on my motherboard so we want to click this to enabled and this essentially will announce to overclock the CPU now CPU PLL selection you can usually leave this on auto however I do prefer to use South Bridge PLL that's when I was testing my for 670 K I found this was the best setting for just general stability and higher clocks you guys might have a preference of Northbridge I prefer South Bridge PLL it's up to you I filter per level you can set this to auto that's fine on call ratio we can take this all up all the way up to 100 megahertz lower than our CPU clock ratio this is the optimum speed however if you run into a bad overclock I do recommend changing this one first maybe set this to 3.8 gigs if you can't boot up at 4.2 gigs because sometimes the this Haswell CPUs are very funny in that you can actually achieve a pretty high clock ratio sometimes but only with a low uncor ratio for instance my CPU can achieve 4.6 gigs on the core clock but only when I use an uncle ratio of 4.1 gigs so it's actually funny how these CPUs what but for that we will set this to 4.1 as it is the optimum level 100 megahertz lower than the clock ratio is optimum and then I want you guys to go down to power watt limit here and we can just take this all the way up to say 150 it's not a big deal it's basically a limit that I'm sure the Pentium is not going to reach on 1.2 volts anyway anyway we can go down now to core current limit amps and we can set that for maybe 120 it's not a big deal I don't think the Pentium is going to be drawing anymore than both these figures now we can go down and leave these on auto number of calls enabled to by default CPU enhanced state we want to leave that on auto essentially that's your just your initial state of bolting down and turbo endowed when the intel speedstep technology is enabled so we can leave all those on auto and now we can go back and so we hit escape and we can go back and leave those settings there and we hit escape again and I want you to us to go down now to advanced voltage settings and feel free I mean if I'm going too fast for you guys feel to replay these segments over and pause and listen to the same parts as it is kind of tricky I guess if it's specially if it's your first time overclocking but be you know definitely copy my settings and leave a comment in the comment section below if you're having trouble and a lot of people will help you out around here it's a good it's a good community around tech yo city anyway CPU we want a so sorry I'll actually go back and show you what I did there advance voltage settings we click enter and then we want to go to CPU core voltage control so essentially we click enter here and then for CPU V Rin we can leave that on external the external override we can leave that on order however some people like to manually set it to 1.8 volts me too I do like to manually set this to 1.8 volts a CPU v core now this is the most important part of an overclock this and the CPU ring voltage so we're going to pay particular attention to the CPU vehicle here and we're going to go to normal now there's two modes here in this files they're usually on house wall though it you guys may be familiar with offset and adaptive voltage however in this path it is a little bit different in that normal is generally your offset and adaptive all-in-one I found on this motherboard however if you do click it again so if you press the plus key once it'll go to normal you press the plus key again it'll take you to manual vaults where you can dial in your vaults manually so we can dial in 1.2 there however if you see here I dial in 1.3 it'll go back to auto meaning there is a limit of 1.2 volts in this box even one point two zero one it'll go back to auto or one point two one it just won't go so 1.2 volt is the limit in this bias however since we do want to take advantage of the intel speedstep technology we will want to hit that to order and that we will want to go here simply just max this offset all the way up as far as it can go to 0.1 and essentially this will order automatically it'll either work or it won't work and I mean if you want to achieve the highest overclock possible and we'll check in CPU Z how high it goes but essentially if you want to achieve the highest overclock possible you can you can this 21.2 volt initially and see how high your CPU goes but I generally find with this normal adaptive voltage it'll vault up to the highest the CPU needs anyhow anyway now the next part we want to go to is the CPU ring voltage and same deal we can go to normal here and we can just set the offset all the way up to 0.1 I'll actually just dial it in on the pad manually so we said at the point 1 and we're good to go now one thing to keep in mind is the CPU ring voltage you may have to dial this back a little bit if we are indeed come into a crash it'll be the first thing that I will be dialing back today if my computer crashes anyway we go down CPU system agent voltage order input output analog voltage leader motor and digital voltage we can leave that on although as well now that's it for CPU core vol so we hit escape and we can hit escape again and we generally I think by this time we should be good to go I mean I'll just check some other settings here if we go to BIOS features or serials we can go here to yes so I want you guys to go to peripherals I've actually got to work on my pronunciation of that word and then we can go to Intel processor graphics and just go down and click disabled so this will disable the onboard graphics on our CPU if you need this on obviously leave it on enabled if you're using the motherboards graphics however if you have your own graphics card then you can disable this and it will keep your CPU a little bit cooler and it will save a little bit of power so hopefully it'll help you overclock your cpu further than it otherwise would be able to go so at this stage we now are ready to go we can go over to save and exit by hitting the left and right arrow keys and navigated through bars and we can actually before we do save and exit we can save this profile and we can go click enter and enter again and call it 4.2 gigs overclock and then that's saved and that that we can load that up anytime and tweak it so if it's a good setting we can load it up against if we're trying to go higher with our overclocks we come back to that profile so let's save configuration and reset and we'll see what happens in Windows now or if even if it hopefully it can boot up I mean it actually is a pretty hot day so hopefully it will boot up and we will get into Windows and then we can run a stress test hopefully so as we can see here it's past the BIOS which is the first good sign however it looks like it may be getting stuck when booting into Windows I believe this is a crash which there you go you saw it there so we can now dial our overclocks back and we can see the first thing I want to try actually is maybe the first thing we should try here so we can hold our power button down for five seconds and hopefully we're able to make it back into the BIOS so the first thing we can try here is going in and just dialing our overclocks back just a little bit and seeing if we can make it into seeing if we can make it into Windows so that's what we want to do so I'm dialed back to 4.1 and four and I will try saving that I will save that profile as 4.1 gig 4.1 gigahertz overclock okay so the profile saved we can save and exit and we'll generally just see if this can boot to Windows so I believe it may be something to do with that uncle ratio they are pretty tricky because I have been testing this CPU at 4.2 gigs I'm actually surprised that is not booting this time around so as you can see here it into Windows absolutely no problems and so what we're going to do now is we are going to open up these three programs which I told you guys to download earlier and we're going to basically stress test our CPU and see how how hot it gets essentially so if our CPU goes to pretty much a hundred degrees and that's really bad but if it goes I guess with this because I'm using the Intel stock cooler and it is in the dead heat of summer if it honestly if it goes up to ninety degrees that's absolutely fine on this CPU I think in in winterfell's going up to 90 degrees and I'd be worried but we run this stress test here so we open up these three and I'll do that again actually I did that pretty fast for you guys so you just want to open up CPU Z and then you want to open up real temp and then what we want to do is I will exit that quickly so what we want to do is we want to open up prime95 again and we want to do small FFTs maximum heat FPU stress so it's maximum heat and we go okay so we're testing we're just basically loading up our computer with as much heat as we can give it and this is what I like about prime95 it's going to find those maximum temperatures pretty quickly and then we'll just quickly test it here for two minutes and then we can say okay we'll try for point two gigs again but this time I might leave the uncor ratio at just four gigahertz and then we'll try that again so what we're doing is we're just finding our optimum overclocks and as I told you guys I've already been testing this thing at four point two gigs so I know it's the uncle ratio and that's how Haswell behaves pretty much the uncork rate ratio is so crucial to getting a stable overclock on this platform it's unbelievable a lot of people message me saying my computer can only go to four gigs and that's most likely because they're trying to bump up the on-call ratio as well as the core clock when instead if they just try bumping up the core clock they'll get a much stable a more higher overclock too now was able to be achieved without bumping on both up at the same time some of their we've run it for two minutes so we're just going to jump back into the BIOS and try running the just the CPU clock core clock at four point two this time so there we go two minutes okay let's give that a try so we'll just reset I will just quickly shut it down and then we'll turn it on again and we'll go back into the BIOS and change those settings so just hitting a Delete key and I mean overclocking you have to be patient with it right if you are not patient with overclocking then I believe you should maybe try it shouldn't try it at all so it's just a matter of trial and error pretty much especially since every CPU is different so we go back in here we can just try this time just upping this one to 4.2 gigs and leaving the Encore ratio at four gigs and we'll see how we go this time so we'll save this profile again as a 4.2 gig overclock and that's the character limit I try to type in K but there actually is a character limit on this so it's like four point gigging 4.2 gigs overclock anyway let's let's see if it's in the windows hopefully it will boot into Windows it might hang I don't know but I don't believe it will so here we go we are booted up into Windows this time so we have booted up into Windows this time and we're at 4.2 gigs as you guys see with the on call ratio at 4 gigs so we're going to open up CPU Z and then we're going to simply run that stress test again and see how it goes so we open up real temp and as you guys know this is C here we're already running at pretty much 1.2 volts so we can't go any any higher on the voltage so we're going to run that small FFT stress test again and then we're going to see what temperature's we get and then if this is successful for 2 minutes I will try running it at 4.3 gigs however in my previous testing I just was not successful in running this CPU 4.3 gigs so it does need more voltage in other words so I will have to put this CPU in my main z87 motherboard if I want to see how high it can go so anyway as we can see here 1.2 volt 4.2 gigs it looks pretty stable the on call ratio is at 4 gigs and we do have what it seems is a stable overclock so any guys anyway guys that's about it for the overclocking tutorial if you have any questions or comments about this tutorial then please leave a comment in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can or someone else around here will share their knowledge and help you out because there's a lot of knowledgeable people around this channel and if you like this video please give a thumbs up as it took me a little while to do and it and obviously learn the gigabyte BIOS is this my first time on a gigabyte bias in a long time maybe I think our 7 years possibly and anyway that's about it so yeah as we can see here it's running pretty stable I mean I may just quickly if you guys are still there I might just quickly try and boot into 4.3 gigs though I have already tested this in the past and it hasn't booted up at 4.3 gigs so pretty much this is a mediocre CPU the one thing I will say is that if you can't get 4.2 gigs like if you're typing in my settings 4.2 on the core clock or wow I hit delete too late so if you're hitting 4.2 gig on the core clock and you're hitting maybe 4 and it doesn't boot up then maybe you want to try 4.1 and 3.9 and just basically drop the Encore ratio down first and then try getting a stable overclock and then after that try booting up the Encore ratio as high as it goes so I basically recommend in a nutshell seeing how high your CPU goes first and then after that you can see how high your own core ratio goes so as I saw here my uncle ratio was maxed out at 4.4 gigs however the CPU did make it to 4.2 gigs so we're going to try a 4.3 on the caller this time and see how it goes just just for trial and error and I mean hey at me maybe the CPUs warmed up a little bit and I might want to go to 4.3 I mean it might boot to Windows and 4.3 I'm curious but I don't think it will wait it is booting so it may hang on the stress tests or no there we go it crashed so it doesn't even work okay so my computer automatically turned off it means it came into a fail overclock and that's that so there we go guys that is the stable settings for my CPU 4.2 gigs on the clock ratio with the coil ankle ratio of 4 gigs so that was what I managed to jump into into a stable overclock and also the benefits of this is that I've still got intel speedstep enabled and I still can take advantage of those power saving features even though cpu-z does say it's running at 1.2 volts constantly so I've ready tested with my power meter and it's good to go anyways I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I will catch you with another tech video very soon and peace out for now bye
