How To "Certify" your PSU For Haswell CPUs + OC Update

2013-06-24
hey YouTube welcome back to take a city's baronies you coming back to you guys today with a quick video on how to certify your power supply for haswell now when Haswell came out there's this whole big thing around the internet that you may need a new power supply for haswell and that's a complete load of crap you do not need a new power supply especially if your power play is a really expensive power supply that is still running fine now the whole worry with this whole thing was that there's two power states with Haswell the c6 and c7 states which are the hibernation states and I'll show you how to disable that later these see states basically when when there's CPU the haswell cpu goes into these sleep states or these hibernation states it draws point zero five amps as opposed to the previous generation which is the ivy bridge cpus they only drew point five amps now the big worry was that some power supplies may not be able to supply such subtle voltages and I'm here to see if you guys are desktop users like me you can just disable hibernation and free up some space on your hard drive as well if you're a SSD as well for me it's precious space so let's get on to it I'm going to quickly show you guys how to disable hibernation if you didn't already know I'm also after that I'm going to quickly talk to you guys and give you guys an update on my house well CPU and however clock in going from me at the moment so once you're in Windows all you have to do is go down to the bottom left ear click on the Start menu and then just type in here command you can also type in CMD as well that should bring it up as well and just go to this little friend here command prompt right click on that click run as administrator and then click yes and now we should be here and also we have to do is type in power CFG /h I mean sorry hyphen H and then off and then hit enter and that will turn off hibernation it will also free up space on your C Drive so if your C Drive is an SSD you're going to get 75 percent of your RAM space back so for me that's 12 gigabytes of SSD space so it really does help personally I also disable sleep states as well so you can do that if you go into power options as well personally I just you know if I'm letting my computer rest I just turn it off and turn it back on it takes like five seconds if you have an S d so that's my person that's my personal preferences and congratulations after you've done that your house well CPU is now your as well power players now has well certified so there you go guys if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if you have any questions please leave a comment the comment section below also I'm going to quickly say that I am NOT very pleased with Haswell this time around there's a lot more variables involved in over clocking these things and the stability is very questionable I'm een I can run my computer at 4.4 4.6 for literally 10 hours on a stress test and then something simple like using skype like not like gaming's fine as well I can stress test I can render videos game but then when I'm on the desktop checking email using skype it crashes it's completely a really have to get to the bottom of it I believe it's the memory the CPU doesn't like even any changed clocks on the memory like even 1866 it crashes so I'm testing that at the moment guys I got I'm going to bring out a full thorough detailed Haswell overclocking tutorial as well in the meantime i will recommend ivy bridge over has well if you if especially if it's your first build specially if it's the first rig i mean this yeah IV was so easy as so user-friendly or geodude was bash in the overclock bashing the voltage bashing your RAM clocks and it pretty much all worked so has well I'm going to say that Intel are really not making a fan favorite in the enthusiast market you know they they knew as enthusiasts that we wanted the you know the heat spreader soldered to the die but they just ignored us they put a voltage regulator in that it just creates more heat and not only that there's a lot more variance in has well as well not only and I'm finding it's not just with the clocks my CPU can get up to four point eight that's fine but what I'm finding is there's lots of variance in the memory controllers as well the IMC's some people can get really high Ram clock some people can't so I'm really just yeah I'm finding there's a lot of variants which generally if you have a lot of variance in a product it generally points to poor quality or poor quality control anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this little rant on Intel I mean yeah they've really sort of you know my in the respect to me to my respect was about halfway and so it's pretty much on zero now so with as well I mean yeah I mean the motherboard manufacturers are really carrying this generation of Intel so the z87 motherboard manufacturers deserve a big kudos for sort of giving the nice features on the motherboards yes peace out for now come back to you guys videos as you saw in the previous of the style video I had the liquid pro there I'm going to be testing out all sorts of tests coming in the next month definitely a very intricate very detailed test very good thorough reviews coming for you guys and I'll get them done as soon as I can anyway I speed up now mate
