so it's finally time to overclock their Rison our seven CPUs and this is basically going to be a guide for you guys out there so you can get the most performance out of your eight core CPUs from AMD welcome back to tech city this is brian coming to you guys today with an overclocking tutorial and i'm going to be up in the top right hand corner this entire time guiding you guys through this and this is going to be the first part where I'm basically locking in a very simple overclock but pretty much anyone should be guaranteed to do they keep in mind you will have to have a decent cooler a decent motherboard and a decent power supply which I always recommend for overclocking myself here I have a k2 40 predator also on an x3 70 asrock Taichi and I've also got some ddr4 memory from Corsair the RGB type and with that said let's move into the boss here now the first thing I will say is that the bosses are different between different motherboard manufacturers for instance Zeus gigabyte MSI that will have different looking biases to the asrock taichi so especially for this first part a lot of the settings should be very similar for the advanced part which is part twos and that's when things will probably start to change a bit so if you have an Azeroth board you will have an easier time to deserve a clocking tutorial though with that said we up the top here we hit the left and right keys we can move around in the settings here in the first place we want to go to is the OC Tweaker tab and now in here basically we've got the CPU frequency and voltage change hit enter and then change that to manual and then we've got here 3.6 gigahertz already there since this is an 1800 X I believe it's 1700 X is 3.4 gigahertz this is the old core frequency essentially so what we want to do here is we can hit the minus or plus keys to change those values in 50 megahertz increments so we want to do is boot this up or boost this up to 3.8 gigahertz this is the clock that we're going to be going with and should work for the majority of people and so we lock that in there and then we go down here to load XMP settings now I would recommend trying this later because the Rison plat for the am floor platform is still in its infant stages so memory overclocks is very unstable on some boards especially with some brands of memory for instance when I first got my boarding I couldn't even get to twenty-six hundred megahertz on the memory so now I can actually lock it in and get a solid twenty nine thirty three but I'd recommend just leaving this off for now until you've got everything else working and for advanced food training I like to disable this as I find it just helps with even if you've got an unstable overclock you can kind of get away with booting back into the BIOS and quickly changing things otherwise you have to reset the CMOS and that can be kind of a pain in the ass on some of these motherboards down here voltage mode we click this enter we want to change that to overclock mode and then down here to CPU V core voltage is very important setting probably the most important setting along with your clock speeds is setting in a voltage for the CPU to run out now we hit enter and we go down here to fixed mode and you see here I've actually already booked in the voltage that you guys should be operating this overclock at if you just want guaranteed results of course every CPU will differ for instance my CPU here at 3.8 gigas can do it at around 1.3 volt which is a lot lower so if you have the time to custom tune your CPU to its voltage since it's a thing called just a silicon lottery where you can get a CPU that clocks higher to certain volts another then I recommend you doing that but if you just in your first time overclocking you just want to get some extra performance out of raisin and I just recommend darling in 1.37 there and also CPU load line calibration I don't know what's going on here it was set on auto now it's like going back to level one I guess that's a bios bug that we're live diagnosing here buddy we want to change that to level two so on both fronts here both the system-on-chip load line calibration changes to level two and on the cpu load line and calibrations level two as well now this book this is interesting because you see a level one I found in the past and even on this board it does like to over volt just a little bit so level two I find is a great balance so when you're loading up the CPU you get a thing called V droop essentially the CPU drops down this can cause crashing on overclock so level two I find just keeps that voltage delivery just so smooth to the CPU so we've got locked those in both level two both three point seven they're overclocked mode on the voltage and then we we're not going to touch the over voltage or over current protection these are put in place to protect you guys from damaging your hardware so I recommend leaving them on enabled unless you're a very advanced overclocking you're probably not going to be here if you are but here we go here we've got D Ram voltage we can leave it on auto because we're not locking in that mp4 Hall and all the other voltages here you guys can feel free to just copy my settings copy/paste and put them in even though they are believe this stock voltages on these ones so once you guys have locked in those settings I then want you to go to the Advanced tab up here and go to CPU configuration now this is just a personal thing I find it just helps with stability so much on even the am-3 platforms when I was overclocking them go to c6 mode and just disable that and essentially because we've got AMD cool and quiet already in place that's AMD's version of down clocking the cpu when it's not in use so you want to disable that and then go down here to AMD CBS and then going to then common options and now down here we'll see global sea state control I also like to disable this completely to as I find I have had some problems in the past even when I was testing Rison initially where games would crash with these things on so now that we're done there we can go to exit Save Changes in exit and then reboot our computer into Windows now if you also can't boot into Windows at these settings you might want to lower the clock speeds just a little bit and then all and all raise the voltage just a little bit more so now that we're in Windows we can essentially stress test our CPU to make sure things are working properly so I like to open up a program called Hardware monitor so this is free to download it's easy you don't have to pay anything for it and all essentially tell you what your CPU speed what the anti CPU speeds are running out so easy is three-point aigis all cause it's doing its job and if we run into Cinebench we can then start a Cinebench run just to check that it's working of course you would want to get a stress test program and run it for quite some time to make sure things are really stable now you can also jump into games but I find Cinebench even just running a quick Cinebench run is going to tell you if your computer's either completely unstable or near stable so if it completes this run its either stable or near stable which is a really good thing considering how quick you can get a reaction out of it so to speak so once we've done that we can get our CPU score there we can see it's pretty strong 16:24 that's the first part of this guide done so the guys out there who just want to get a quick overclock get some quick results that's it so now we're going to move over to part two where we're jumping into the boss and we're going to get advance baby so now it's time for part two or the advanced part this is where things start to get a little tricky so if you start getting stressed don't guys I don't want you to get stressed because then you start losing your hair and and you know generally all the ball guys I know they don't want to go bald so I don't want you guys to go bald again so try not to get stressed or gadget is so first light here we're going to overclock quicker and we're actually going to set this stuff that we did before back to auto CPU frequency and voltage change change that back to audio Ram screens I'm not going to touch that just yet because we do that last after we've done our overclock and then here we can go to overclock mode leave that there go down to CPU V core voltage change that back to auto then change this back to level 2 I don't know why it changed back to auto and then jet that's about all we do in that time so essentially resetting what we did before in some parts and keeping some other settings in place now we're going to the Advanced tab here and we go to CPU note 3 we go down to AMD CBS then we go to Zen common options and they move in here to a thing called custom called P States and we go except so this is getting tricky now guys so basically what you want to do is I like to disable from custom T state 3 on would like to disable that and we go into custom piece a0 first and go to custom here so this is essentially where you're getting into the root of the CPU itself these state 0 is essentially that single core boosting methodology with access arbors because we can take control of this and set manually set it with T state one being the same values that we'll get onto that later we essentially lock all calls in at our highest overclock for 24/7 stability so what we've got here is essentially looking at a heap of numbers and they're essentially to do with thirty two hacks sequence so with the values range from 0 0 to s F 0 0 being the lowest and FS being the highest and it's weird because in P state 0 VI D it actually works in an inverse relationship if you go down in these values you get the lowest denominator I mean sorry if you go down in value you get a higher V call so it's kind of interesting there but what we're going to do is we're going to lock in fluency here we change from one eight two one seven and we keep going down and the values here essentially I'll put these in the description below this is getting tricky all these values will set in a number of frequency and also voltage so to get your head around it I'll just put a list in the description below you can read from there but essentially it works with hex and you can for instance lock in a one and get a four point zero to five gigahertz overclock or if we can go down to a zero we should be getting a four gig overclock now before that I think it will be nine F will be three point nine seven five gigahertz overclock so we're going down in the value and it's responding with the overclock the mid volume here the D ID we generally don't want to touch that as I mean personally I've found that it running at the state B clock is essentially like your B clock setting this that the state value of eight is working perfectly fine everything's butter smooth I have no need to change this if you want to change this though you may get C as we as we go up in value here to actually lower the clock rate stairs so it's the values are a little bit tricky there too so as you do that you can change the B clock essentially I can leave it at eight and essentially if you do changes just remember that it may change in memory clock soo so I'd like to leave that one alone so we're just going to focus on F ID and VI D and here we're going to block in your desired overclock so for instance if you want a 90 verse overclock it will be nine C and we get three point nine gears overclock or if you want to lock in my max overclock it's a 1 so that's where my CPU topped out out guys was four point zero to five gigahertz and the voltage for that I believe was three point 9 3 3 point 1 3 9 3 volts so that's where I ended up with my sweet spot you guys will have to tinker this to where you can find your max CPU speed and where it's sweet spot is for voltage that's up to you guys to find that this is where mine's at and again I'll put those codes in the description below so you can try and lock them in yourself so once we've done that once we found that with P state 0 we can then go down to P state 1 and do the exact same thing for this value here and lock that in manually and what we'll have here is the exact same overclock with P state 1 as pcs 0 and then for this last one we can also just leave that on custom and we can then have a 2.2 gigahertz down clock so essentially when the CPU is not in use it will start throttling down and essentially using less power which is a good thing if you guys are going to be using this thing 24/7 anything below that I generally don't find the need for personally I just find it could sometimes cause problems and headaches which you don't need when you're editing videos or anything like that so that's my custom settings that I find it runs smooth as butter even in the infant stages of Verizon this thing is running so well so once we're done with that we can then save changes and boot into Windows so now we're going to move on into the benchmark here f1 2016 which is actually a great benchmark for CPU and GPU at the same time especially at 1080p so we've got here the graphics options here and video mode we've got with SMA a on and also 16 speed and SEO tropic filtering and vsync offers course and then we go here for the Settings ultra-high let's see how the AMD Rison CPU handles this at 1080p let's get in there and put that on benchmark mode and while we're doing this I'll actually test talked about some extra things arising so firstly the memory if you guys have your CPU locked in at its sweet spot overclock then what you want to do after that is go back in and try an get your Ram as high as possible which on the am4 platform does make a little bit more of a difference does to the Intel platform so you do this easily by just enabling the XMP profile first up that's the best thing you're going to get if you can't do that then drop your timings thrown I mean drop your megahertz a little bit on the memory stay down to 220 66 that doesn't work drop it down to 2,400 I did have this problem initially when I got the AMD CPU in with Azeroth gaming case 4 where I couldn't even move my memory up at 2,600 megahertz so I had to drop it down to 2,400 mega lo and behold a few BIOS updates later I can now run over 29:33 so you can see with the micro code updates coming into place memory speed should only get better and better which is the great thing also another thing is if you are crashing if your computer is crashing and you just getting frustrated just take a breather it's normal guys especially when you're overclocking so make sure all your hardware is connected properly things like a CPU that's not connected properly can cause bone damage so if you have everything connected properly then all you have to do is clear the CMOS with the pin the jumper just push that to the right and then back to the left or the clear CMOS button or website so now you can just take out the battery turn everything off a little circular battery and you should be back to normal again remember these settings around these over clocks you're not going to damage anything if everything's set up properly because there's over voltage protections in place that protect your parts from getting damaged anyway so I actually haven't come into any problems ever dealing with sort of pre sweet spot overclock so that's a really good thing don't be too afraid but it may get frustrating at times just keep that in mind also there is the high performance mode in Windows which you will want to turn on and for me personally I also like to turn off the USB suspend setting which I have had on the aim for platform so far my keyboard cutting out sometimes just randomly so when I disabled this I no longer had any problems with my keyboard or mouse cutting out so I recommend you do that and also if you want to I highly recommend tweaking your windows for performance I've got a Windows 10 optimization guide I'll put a link in the description below for you guys awesome if you want to get that just a little bit more performance out there and get your windows running as best can other settings like high-performance H Pet I'm not going to test that yet as again my computer is running really well at the moment I don't need to really change anything it's running completely smooth so anyway let's move on now to the next benchmark and for the last benchmark is for autumn we're going to run this at 1080p at Ultra settings or extreme settings here you probably hear that GTX 1080p I reference blasting in the background but I'm also going to talk about some final minute things with benchmarking Rison and games as always is why I'm running the games for you guys they're a fantastic way to test ability on your overclock now if you get a CPU zero zero error that's most likely because you either need to drop the clock speed and/or increase the voltages so just keep that in mind another thing too is that when you are seeing these results on YouTube like you're probably seeing it's a little bit choppy but trust me guys on the monitors I'm looking at right now it is so damn smooth it's just smooth as butter and on the previous benchmark I did really one thing about Rison is it does play extremely smooth in games so that's one thing I'm liking about this CPU at the moment this is even with a GTX 1080p I you see there the GPU is being utilized near 100% which is great news for me personally I'm going to be using this as a workstation CPU and also on my 1440p ultrawide monitor at 100 Hertz so if I get over 100 Hertz or 100 FPS average not going to be completely happy with that as I'm not really a competitive gamer nowadays so I'm pretty much it has been but with that said guys if you enjoyed this overclocking tutorial then be sure to hit that like button and if you have any frustrations or anything that you have during the overclock then be sure to drop a comment the comment section below or check out the website WWE TV flash forum and we'll have some threads over there in terms of rising overclocking let's say guys I'm going to get on out of here and I'll catch you guys in another SEC videos very soon peace out for now bye
