so today I'm going to be overclocking my e5 1650 Xeon and also showing y'all the flip side of PC gaming how was that pun welcome back to tokyo city guys is brian coming back to you guys there with a vlog of just things that i got to get done around the house here and one of those things is also selling the accumulating rigs that are getting accumulated over here over the last few weeks and months and now this is kind of sad because i've recorded this footage a couple of weeks ago where i changed all this hardware over here and put it into this case that I got here for $20 now I'm cuz I'm going to sell this presentation is kind of an important thing but with this if I was using this for personal use you know price performance all the way I wouldn't kept this hideous looking case here but what we did with this computer we fix this heat sink than unzip tied-down before by just getting this old intel heatsink and pulling toward the clips off and then putting it on there so this pc is now working perfectly good it's all cleaned up and it's gonna get sold i'm gonna try and make a little bit of money on that but let's get on to the other rigs and then we'll talk about them all in total so now we're just going to quickly clean up the giveaway pc and like i'm going to uninstall the games that I use for benchmarking and stuff and know whoever wins this PC I do not want you to ask me for my Steam account username and password like I think that's a commandment of PC gaming one does not ask another man for his username and password it just doesn't happen don't go there but after we're done cleaning this up we'll be putting that next to the Dark Souls 3 PC over there and then we'll be getting on to the water cooling PC alright so next up here we've got the giveaway sorry not to giveaway PC we've got the water cooling experiment PC that I paid once around two hundred twenty dollars so all up this is this shows me about two hundred twenty us so if I can get my money back on this PC then I'll be really happy even if I could just break even on this one because it was yet again a lot of experiments we came into a few bit of different problems notably being the ddr2 memory and also the water cooling loop just didn't really add any value on to this build so we're kind of like already like 60 70 dollars behind there on this bill to begin with I mean that memory was overpriced too so it's actually probably more than 70 dollars I'd say around about eighty dollars behind so so here's the three rigs lined up here the ideology behind this is that I want to make profit on this one so I built this for around it at 200 but I did swap the case over so it's around about 220 now and hopefully I can get around about 350 for it so that would be a good build to make a little bit of profit on this is a giveaway PC and man whoever wins this is going to absolutely love this thing 1080p gaming it doesn't really get much better than this it is a beast even if you're going to be streaming or whatnot this thing will still perform really well this year I just hope to break even like I said before but without all being said let's get on now to a big project people have been wanting me to test so I'm going to be doing the preliminary figures on the e5 a 1650 Xeon here this is the six core 12 threaded overclockable Xeon on Sandy Bridge a lot of people have been like dude you got to overclock this thing so we're going to get onto that now and go upstairs and see what we can do with this thing so here's the setup what we're going to be using today we're going to be using this 850 watt Oram Pro gold rated power supply the gigabyte x79 ud7 2 terabyte hard drive and a 250 gig SSD there and also the gtx 780 and for the cooling when you use the mill storm 240 all-in-one water cooler so we see if we can go and try and get a 5 gigahertz that's what I'm actually going to try and get on this CPU over 6 cores it's a lot to ask but since it is the Xeon it hopefully can do it so let's find out so we're just about to hook all this up and this power supply here does not have solder connectors on its so I am going to go downstairs and hack up this 24 pin to leech off the 5 volt at the 3.34 the solder connector there so let's go get that done so we've got this power supply here and now doesn't have any of those proprietary connectors and now a quick and easy way around this and I'm going to say straight away this is certainly not the best method is to grab your 24 pin there and just splice the solder connector you have lying around see I pulled this off a dead power splice so I'm going to splice this into here and then we're going to have a fully functional power supply and we did pick this up for around about $50 thing this 850 watt gold rated power supply you okay so we finished the soldering job here and I had a lot of problems Sol during this time for some reason that just the solder was not sticking to the iron and I guess that's just what happens when you got a cheap solder again that gets dirty I don't know but anyway it's finished we're going to tape it off now and then we're going to start using this power supply so that we have it guys this is now one brand new power supply and look at that it's all good to go right so let's see if this thing boots up for the first go and Dan I don't know if you guys heard that but there was like some kind of hopefully it's alright so got the monitors here there and ruffled up a bit maybe after a few earthquakes who knows oh cool all right so we have a signal coming out of this thing looks like Windows is loading up now and that's really good news because we can get into overclocking this thing so we're in the bass now and this is the gigabyte of UEFI dual BIOS for the x79 ud7 now we're just going to fill around with some settings so we can have this the phase control on extreme performance I guess that will just use all the phases or it'll switch them faster there's not enough there's no elaboration on the setting there so we have the voltage response there we want that to be fast and we want a you know vrm they're responding fast to our CPUs needs so we want that on fast the load line calibration we would want this on extreme so whatever voltage we set for our CPU we want that to be pretty much the same when it's under stress or when the city is being stress tested and what this means is I want to get that V group there and generally you don't have to worry about this setting when you are overclocking nowadays especially if you've got a good power supply you mean you in the old days used to have that B droop mainly there because the power supplies were bad and if you CPU dropped and you didn't have a lower value it would just spike too hard it could cause damage to your hardware but nowadays with the motherboards and the power supplies being really good you can generally set this pretty high without having to worry too much so we put that on extreme the other settings there they aren't too important to overclocking the actual CPU itself a CPU VGT load line calibration I'm going to drop that up to 80% there again pretty aggressive should make too much of a difference so those are settings that were mainly concerned about in here as well as the PWM switch right because we're not going for an extremely high overclock here we can have our CPU phases they're switching as low as possible it means it's going to stay on the same phase as much as possible before it switches over I believe again there's not much detail on the actual settings of cells I'm just assuming a lot here but when we go to the CPU core voltage here we can have at at one point three five volt that should be good I'm going to try and boot that up at maybe four point six gigahertz initially and then we'll go from there I mean CPU PLL we should be able to get away with having that at one point eight four maybe sauce I mean we're gonna play around with a few settings here I don't really know what's going to come out of this but we'll give this a shot first and see how it goes the DRAM we're not going to overclock the memory just yet all we're not going to essentially put platform chips out hope we don't have to worry about those sitting at this moment so let's give this a go we're going to lock into the CPU of 4.6 now at those settings and see if it boots up and now I'm going to take a little bit slower than normal because there is a setting in this BIOS where you have to change the PCIe to legacy for the Nvidia graphics card now if I brick and I have to reset my BIOS it won't boot up with the Nvidia cards I have to put in at night an old-school AMD card or something and change that setting and then reset so it'll be very tedious but uh let's get on with this all right so that just did not work at all we're going to have to maybe up the voltage a little bit there formed in Buddha 4.6 gigahertz so we're going to try some different settings there to see if we can get a better boot damnit it's like a boot back into the BIOS thankfully I just don't know why it didn't even attempt to boot so it will just drop that down to 4.4 now and just see if that works and if that works then it's just probably not the best Zeon now you never know and see that's the thing when you buy you CPUs off eBay it could have been one really good overclock up selling off all these duds like maybe the guy bought ten CPUs he picked out the best one sold the rest sold the other nine so I know that happens in the overclocking community so just depends maybe yeah so we're booting up a 4.4 so we're going to keep testing the CPU to see what we can really get out of it here so yeah we're looking for like a boot that's relatively stable at a pretty high clock speed so let's give it a go all right so back in the BIOS here let's get back into our overclock alright you know what we're just gonna do we're just gonna have four point eight and we are going to up that voltage up to around about one point three nine and then we're probably going to take off that low noise add app door and let those fans just go hand so I mean that's what I'm kind of feeling like at the moment give that a go just a fast-track this overclocking experience let's give that a shot okay 4.8 is at least doing nothing but-- fire oh okay so I don't think this CPU is as good as other people are posting up or I've seen screenshots of I mean I didn't see a guy have a screenshot of 5 gigahertz at like one point 4 volts so I was pretty jelly when I saw that but let's try I mean let's try four point seven maybe four point seven might be good enough you never know unless you go so let's give this a workout four point seven one point three nine five watt to be honest though I wouldn't want to take it any higher than this because you know it's 24/7 usage so the CPU isn't as good as what I hoped it would be but if we can get like four point seven or even four point six out of it at one point three nine volt I'll be pretty happy with that so we could see if it fails the overclock then 4.7 looks like it's my reach window so this is a good good sign although I do expect it to be unstable no there we go okay sweet so we put it up at four point seven let's change over to the thunderous fan noise no okay okay that wasn't meant to be so easy there just crashed okay so in other words the overclock at four point seven is not working unless we might give it a little bit more voltage I'm not too keen to take it over one point four really because again I'm looking for a 24-7 stable here yeah that's pretty high okay we'll give that a going into one point 4 0 5 volts at four point seven K goes let's give this thing a workout and I mean if it if it stays stable like if it gets the windows and it sort of sits there then I can start toggling and playing around with it if it doesn't then I'm gonna have to drop it back to four point six because that's probably about where it will be the highest twenty-four seven over five to the CPU keep in mind I've got that low noise adapter on and the radiator is getting a little bit warm so once I take it off and it goes here we'll see what we can do okay so we've got this thing stable at 4.5 gigahertz now in the max temperature of 67 there so we will try and up it to four point six stable and possibly even four point seven so let's get into that now crash incoming crash so then we have it we've got the silicon lottery and then we've got the eBay silicon lottery now the ladder you will almost guaranteed to lose out as you saw in my case I could only get this thing to four point five gigahertz and oh you probably sitting there like four point five s not too bad yeah I know it's not that bad but we had a C to revision Xeon e5 1650 which is kind of like the best of the best when it comes to this six core on that X 79 motherboard there so and I also did try everything I know there's going to be people out there like man you did you try matching the IMC to the cpu vtt did that didn't make a difference try it up on that to 1.2 volt couldn't get this thing stable of 4.6 try to open the voltage even delay 1.4 3 volt and I mean even at that stage I'm not willing to go that higher that much higher because a I want this thing for a 24-7 stable and be yeah I don't want to destroy my CPU but also will say that the motherboard in general was pretty bad this time around that 3d bios was I mean what the hell was going on there also with the PWM control that was just terrible as well if I left that on in the BIOS my fan speeds would literally just go up and down up and down I could literally change for almost every degree and change on the CPU and I actually had the app Bill Powell on there when I was clocking the 3930k with that setting and the hack Bell gave out it like it just cut out and stopped working so I had to turn that setting off that was a bad setting there and also in general there was a lot of other settings that I did try like disabling all the speedstep technology disabling the turbo the C States yes so I just could not get this thing to run stable at 4.6 gigahertz now it could have been the motherboard but I'm pretty sure that we just locked out I mean we didn't lock out on the CPU so that's that sometimes you win sometimes you lose looks like we're on a bit of a losing streak lately two rotten tomato with that memory now the CPU and you know I was hyping this CPU up for like weeks I've been like man I got this Xeon in at the e5 1650 and it was a complete fail that's about it for me today I did do my best and I just couldn't get it any higher the thermals were great and 4.5 gigahertz is still a pretty good damn overclock there but I will be coming back with an X 58 overclocking tutorial and a LGA 771 overall you're on a live stream so we're going to do that live for you guys in the next couple of weeks I just got to get this build out of the way with and I'm going to or during a CUDA sake you to go case for it you know that character from Bleach even though it's not the name of the case that's what I thought it was initially so I'm going to order one or more of those cases in that's the same case that I'm using for the giveaway now I'm going to put all that hardware that you saw today in that case make a build bench market in games see how it runs and then sell it anyway guys hope you enjoyed this video if you did please give a big thumbs up if you have any questions or comments be sure to drop a comment the conversation below and I'll catch you in the next Tech video very soon peace out for now bye so with the eBay silicon lottery I wonder if there is the PayPal counter silicon lottery you just put in a PayPal dispute this this thing didn't know four o'clock high enough that would make you the world's biggest douchebag and I am the world's biggest douchebag so why not kidding kidding kidding but I did open a dispute for that ddr2 memory that crap was just insane I had to check our cities and Brian come and take it about making an emo PC bill I don't know how this is going to go down but I want to make an emo PC build so if you have any suggestions on how to do that comments brothers now I know what you're thinking I want to see the flip so I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna get the camera over here bring that over with the lighting we're going to bring that over get all this ready all right so I'm just going to take a photo of this PC now just get one of those juicy shots that we need and probably get one more and then we will flip the PC Preston is one computer done let's get on to the next one you so now we've got these two pcs photoed we're going to upload them to a website called yahoo auctions because I'm in Japan I want to sell these locally because the shipping is really cheap domestically so let's upload these things and ask what we can for them I guess okay so in Japan this is a very popular benchmark this is the heavens ward final fantasy 14 I think so a lot of people when they sell pcs they run this benchmark so I'm going to be running this benchmark and then selling this PC so let's get this finished and then we're good to go with the flip side the flip flip side the lipid loop side flip flip flip side live with with live
