what is cracka lackin ladies and gentlemen right here on the desk we've got a p55 motherboard it's even got an i7 860 processor which is worse than the Zeon's and today we're gonna be overclocking it I'm gonna be taking you guys through a step-by-step tutorial on how you can extract the most value out of these CPUs now the Aliexpress Zeon's the X 34 40 s they're a really good play in terms of value for money there's the X 30 for 30s all that will apply in today's tutorial if you're buying a cheap P 55 or H 55 motherboard now you can also deal it these CPUs as well if you want to use a little bit of liquid metal to get even better temps and possibly more performance but with that aside let's start clocking this thing to kingdom come welcome back to take your city and here we have on the desktop first things first my two favorite programs for overclocking Cinebench and also I 264 and get a gist trial without a 64 for 30 days links in the description Bloods all you need to overclock so you'd have to go out and buy a license it's a really good program and this here Cinebench it's a good program for getting just performance numbers making sure the final overclock is giving you those numbers that you want so after you've downloaded both these we just hit restart and then we hit that delete or f2 depends on your motherboard I usually just hit them both at the same time and we need to get into the BIOS so now in the boss I'm going to be up in the top right hand corner here guiding y'all through this process and we've got to go into a motherboard intelligent weak and now if you're in a zoo or msi boss it might look a little bit different or a naturopath but generally there's gonna be all the same settings there and we're gonna go through all them so this is a gigabyte boss and we just have to go to motherboard intelligent Tweaker and then from here we click the down arrow on the arrow keys and then we go to advanced frequency settings and click enter now overclocking is best done on a full 104 keyboard with a numpad it's just easier to do that with your right hand so we've got here the i7 960 now before we get into this over long tutorials important to point out the differences I 7 960 is not I'm sorry 860 is not as efficient as the xeon a xeon shield will generally get to a higher overclock on lower voltages because it's a better bin so basically what that means is if you've got a 0 on a file express the next 34 40 or something then you can copy my settings and you should be okay but what we've got here on this i 7 860 though is an extra multiplier cuz you can see here it goes up to 22 but the x34 40 being so popular has a multiplier of 20 max so that's what we're gonna use here today and now there's some pretty crazy inverse features we'd have to worry about these here the whose tech generally works absolutely fine in my experience this one here at c3 c6 state I actually like to turn it off because I only really use c1e which I like to keep on that just clocks it down to that state when it's not being utilized so if you go afk it's quickly down clocking your CPU this is the one you want to keep enabled but going back here qpi clock ratio I like to keep this on 32 as opposed to 36 that just gives us a little bit more head room when we're overclocking on the B clock which is just down here we can see here B clock we click enter and then click enabled and now we can unlock this magical setting here now generally most I found most people so if we hit 190 on our numpad we can enter most people will be able to get to 190 megahertz here you should be able to get to 200 though we'll talk a little bit about that later because it does involve increasing a certain voltage and this is the one thing about this platform that's different to x58 and this is why I don't like this platform as much as X 58 that's because you can see this uncor ratio here in the middle is just shadowed you can't control it and I believe it's the reason why a lot of over clocks just get unstable especially past 3.5 gigahertz the young core is pretty much a hit and miss you'll see some guys like in their overclocking shooter's locking in 200 here and they're like yo anyone can get this but really this uncor ratio you see there it just changes the 3.6 gigahertz it becomes unstable on some CPUs 190 and a higher multiply for example will get you to 4 gigahertz and you won't have to pump as much voltage through the qpi voltage which is what we'll get onto later but for what it's worth we'll leave that at 20 because we don't for a 3.8 gigahertz overclock initially at 190 and now let's go down a system memory multiply here hit enter and hit 6 now we're gonna be putting this on the lowest setting first we don't want to mess with memory until we've found how high our CPU can go always an important thing I always recommend doing this so once we set those settings we can hit Gate key go back a notch and then go down to advanced memory settings because on this board for some reason it changes the timings automatically so we go down to D Ram timing selectable hit enter and then we just go to quick quick and dirty that's how generally a lot of people like it nowadays and we go down to channel eight timing settings hit enter again and we're just gonna bang in 10 10 10 and 30 pretty generic timings here and also a command rate of 2 just to keep things safe again we don't want memory to be a factor affecting our over clocks we know it's one less thing to worry about when we're overclocking our CPU so we hit escape a hit escape again get back to this advanced voltage setting this is important this one really important you'll hit enter now we go here load line calibration I generally like to enable this I've never had a problem with it enabled disabled though could be causing some issues it could be V droop and very hard that's essentially when you like put your foot on the throttle and you got that initial gap time probably maybe if you watch the x58 tutorial may have heard me talk about this now this is an i7 860 again it's not as good as a Xeon it's gonna need close to like literally close to 1.4 volt to keep this overclocked stable at 4 gigahertz so if you're on a zero and you might want to just go to 1.3 5 volt you should be ok especially with load line calibration enabled but I'm just gonna go for a little bit more because I'm on an i7 860 now qpi voltage at 190 you're going to want close to 1.3 you just might want to set this to 1.3 and walk away if you're going for 200 megahertz on the base clock we'll get to that later you might want to even go similar to your CPU v core 1.35 or 1.37 keep in mind the higher this setting goes as you see here it's in purple because it's getting dangerous one point one point sorry the time and I mean one point two seven should be okay but we will just give it a little bit more around 1.3 just to make sure cuz again I 7 860 not a Z on these voltages will need a little bit more because it's not as good as a pin as that Zeon chips Oh seal means that platform chips at hub we'd have to worry about that again it's like your input/output your USBs and stuff like that CPU PLL important setting as well especially since we're going for a bit more on the CPU here want to give this 1.86 if you're going for four gigahertz you may have to want to give this one point nine one point eight the one point eight six should be fine and then D round voltage one point five and we're gonna be good to go so now we've got our voltage is set in one ninety be o'clock means that we have to up this if you're going down to like one eighty you should be okay around these settings one point two one should be okay one point two three other because we go on to one ninety we should need about one point three and we don't have one point three exactly so we're gonna go a little bit more and let's just try lock this in and see if we can get so xscape escape and then we just save exit and hit enter and then we should be going to windows so now we've made it into the Windows boot screen absolutely fine and again we did give these voltages a little bit more that we probably should have but that's because it's an overclocked retour and I know there's going to be people copying my settings here so we're gonna open up I to 64 here left double click this open it up click yes and we're gonna go for a stress test here and once we stress test this out we should be okay so tools left click tools I 264 CPU bring that up it's gonna tell us our voltages we had a stability test no one's gonna hit start all these selected very real world and we're gonna leave that going for 10 minutes and if it passes then we don't need to do anything more if it crashes then we're good to go back into the boss and do a little bit of troubleshooting again so now it's 10 minutes and it's finished it's past the stress test it is all good we're gonna quickly run a Cinebench score just to make sure the results are lining up off the top of my memory we should be getting around of close to 600 points and the score there is right on the money so let's restart and get back into that BIOS so here we are back again we're gonna hit enter and go to advanced frequency settings so now we're here we're looking for a two hundred base clock overclock so press two hundred on our numpad or we can press + or - it's up to you and this is essentially like we seen here we're gonna get four gigahertz but as I said before that problem of that Ankur frequency some people may not be just able to get here no matter how much voltage they pumped into their gear whether it be cooling is this whether they have an air cooler or a water cooler I just find sometimes you just don't get to this 200 megahertz it's just my experience and again I believe it's because this shadow setting here that we can't touch is affecting our performance memory we're never worried about that yet because we want to get to the four gigahertz and I want to show you what's important so we go down to the voltage settings here and the CPU should be fine I mean I eat I Jack this voltage up to one point 375 with load line calibration usually that's absolutely fine for a four gigahertz overclock usually you can do it at one point three five four four gigahertz but because it's an i7 860 it's like literally the worst bin of the full koi rated CPUs so we're going to go I'll leave that at one point three seven five and we should be good at four key goods but this sitting here this is a very important one so if you've got that higher multiplier you'll be able to leave this for instance you'll be able to go with the 180 and leave this at one point two and go for like a four point you know whatever four point one four gigahertz overclock with higher honor x34 seventy for example but because we've got this CPU at 200 megahertz base clock on the motherboard we literally need to go around point three five volt possibly one point three seven or if you CPUs a lot better it's a Xeon it may get there one point three one Wow round one point three ish but we're gonna go for one point three five here just to test the waters and we're gonna save that so they're the two there are two very important voltages here so don't forget that QPR vtt actually relates to the base clock over Club itself because you're overclocking morph variables in here like qpi I believe encore is tied to that even though it's a shadow voltage and uncor just caps out to so once we're ready there we're gonna save and exit get back into Windows and see if this passes the stress test alright so here we are back in the BIOS and we're gonna get back into em be intelligent Tweaker MIT go down to advanced frequency settings and here we're just trying to tweak the memory a little bit now I've got some real mediocre memory I'm gonna change this here so click enter on the memory multiplier go down to eight hit enter again and now we're at 1600 megahertz we can see that it's shadowed in and this should be okay we should be able to achieve this but again we're gonna click escape and go back into advanced memory settings click enter and go down to here DRAM timing and make sure that's on quick like we did before and then go to just channel eight timings and we should be okay with these timings 10 10 10 and 30 is pretty generous now if you want to overclock memory guys you can change this to 1 you can change this to 9 10 10 10 28 for example and you can go from here memory overclocking takes a little bit of time to perfectly get right but we're gonna go for 1600 megahertz now if you've got the right memory you can even up this to 10 and get it to 2,000 megahertz but we're just gonna go for 1600 megahertz and 4 gigahertz on the CPU and that is a very solid overclock if it works which it should I've haven't had much memory not go to 1600 meters and now here we are on the desktop and basically with memory overclocking if you get to the desktop you're really close or you've either made it most the time you've made it the overclock should be fine memories usually cut and dry and we can just load up I 264 again because there's a specific benchmark we can use to test the memory itself so back in the system stability test we can just uncheck these boxes here and just go to stress memory now you can leave this on for ten minutes but again it should be okay because it did boot into Windows absolutely fine and with that said that pretty much wraps up today's overclocking tutorial now with these CPUs they they top out at about 4 gigahertz after that you need significantly more voltage so what we can do here today is we can try quickly before we close out the video just going for a 4.2 gigahertz overclock but as I mentioned before if you're having trouble with stability you can drop a comment in the comment section below or join our discord server there's a lot of cool people there that will help you out a really good community also if you enjoyed this one then be sure to hit that like button and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon also if you want to get an ex 3440 or a age 55 motherboard I'll put some links in the description below for you guys and also the links for Cinebench and I 264 now basically with the p55 also and the age 55 motherboards and the Zeon's it all comes down to your gear as well if you've got a really bad power supply that can affect your overclocks especially if it's a super cheap budget one it has a lot of ripple that can be up to a hundred millivolts and in really bizarre cases so that could affect your overclocks also your cooling as well you always want to get a decent cooler I'll Express have like a $30 cooler that you can use from different CPU to motherboard and get really good value it's a twin tower cool it does exceptional performance in terms of dealing you don't have to deal it but it's always a better thing to deal with to get those temperatures down and also if your motherboard has no vrm cooling you can always just get some really cheap heat sinks and put a fan on those heat sinks as well especially if your ambient temperatures are pretty hot my ambient temperatures here today we're about 22 degrees and now with the cpu's we didn't even go anywhere near 70 degrees like we were staying under 70 degrees that's because we've got a water cooler 240ml water cooler and also I have a deleted the CPU - and use liquid metal I know guys hope this all helped you catch you in the next Tech video peace out for now bye you
