in a world full of dust filled and tuned underperforming pcs one man is here the fragrance this is PC house car welcome back to episode two of PC house call now last time I did this with James we went over we tuned his PC overclocked his 6700 K he was over the moon absolutely loving the performance gains now this time around I'm joined by my good friend Luke and we're gonna do the exact same thing and I've known him for 18 years do you want to tell him the story of how we first met so yeah me and Brian met when we were young kids going through primary school and high school we used to meet up play a bit of broodwar together and you know it was fun times there's good times yeah so we used to go out on the weekend party and do all those things that teenagers did and then on the Sunday when we're hungover we played brood war epic game yeah brood war sesh and essentially today what I'm doing with a Luke's PC is the same shindig that we've always done and we always will be doing is we're gonna clean this dust filled underperforming PC we're gonna put a gtx 1080 in it as well and also luke has swapped me two pcs for a gtx 1080 now of course i'm getting a really good deal out of this but Luke also picked these pcs up for a two hundred Australian dollars each year yeah they say there's two computers both of them have an i7 in them they've both got 16 gig of ram they've got two Radeon graphics cards I believe and there's two by two points or yeah 24 inch monitors as well to go with them so so now behind me I'm gonna start doing my magic we're gonna check out all the current specs of Luke's PC we're gonna test the performance as it stands and then of course we're gonna do a complete overhaul of this machine or at least in terms of overclocking and also putting in that new graphics card and see what I can do yeah and see what it does before and then of course after so let's get on with it so the games that Luke currently likes to play as overwatch at 1080p at high settings and also World of Warcraft on a simulated 4k setting with high graphics settings now for what of Warcraft he likes playing at the 4k settings simply because his user interface buttons are then smaller he can see everything that's going on in arena and he wants to get the best experience in these two games so currently with overwatch he's getting around 120 FPS average at these settings and then with what of Warcraft he's currently getting around 50 FPS though of course he does have to lower the settings in water Warcraft to get higher frame rates though the GTX 1080 should solve this problem however for tuning the PC I like to use four different programs Cinebench ida 64 msi afterburner and also UniGene heaven and upon stress testing the cpu there was a big problem and we found this out with ida 64 stress test the cpu was going near a hundred degrees celsius and also thermal throttling this is a big problem and i do have a solution for this problem with a reven akeno's so now luke's pc consists of an i7 4770k on a z87 xtreme three motherboard also has 16 gigabytes of ddr3 memory and dual channel configuration so this board will be good for a decent overclock however he does have a GTX 970 and he does complain about having graphics settings not being able to max out on ultra with really good frame rates in some of these games of course the GTX 1080 will fix this problem and we're pairing this off the C Sonic 650 watt gold rated power supply so we can reuse this bass player it is really good and it will do an absolutely fine job not just overclocking and give it a stable overclocks but also pairing that gtx 980 and overclocking that as well now one thing you may also notice is that is using a thermal take case that's completely open-air this is okay if you want to keep temperatures cool especially in summer however it does attract a lot of dust so we're gonna give this a full cleanse I'm going to do some more cable management because he currently has a jungle sandwich in here and then we're gonna see what this case looks like after so I'm just overclocking now and the temperatures are a lot better I've overclocked the CPU to four point three gigahertz and I'm under the pump here I've got absolutely no time they've got to do some stuff I'm under the pump I've got this to four point three gigahertz I'm gonna run some quick benchmarks make sure that this thing is stable but it's also looking really good and it's clean and then Luke will be one happy customer so starting off with the benchmarks running through Cinebench we saw a boost at over 800 CB which was great before we had the throttling CPU going anywhere from 650 to 700 but when we looked at the next benchmark the heav'n benchmark that got a really big increase as well and then of course moving on into the games over watch over double the FPS I was really blown away by this figure it was really smooth over 240 FPS a lot of the times sometimes maxing out at 300 FPS great for Luke who has a high refresh rate monitor - and then moving on into World of Warcraft in that main city again we went from 40 to 50 FPS all the way up to 90 to 100 FPS so practically a double in frame rates on this PC so I think Luke is gonna be happy with this but let's hear it from himself so here we are now with Luke's PC behind me it is finished finito and I've also overclocked it so we got the CPU to 4.3 gigahertz which I would like to get a bit higher I'd like to ultimately deal it it possibly give it a maybe an extra 50 to 100 millivolts see if I can get to 4.5 4.6 gigahertz memory was interesting but we still got out to 1600 megahertz and the graphics card of course the GTX 1080 an absolute beast got that - 2.0 5 gigahertz and it was running absolutely amazing your games are now over double what they were before with that 970 and dirty dust filled PC and it was not even overclocked it was throttling a hundred degrees now you've got 70 degrees how do you feel about this I am so happy with this job that you've done for me it is amazing I can't wait to game on this it's been it's been amazing you've pretty much doubled my FPS so really looking forward to gaming with this piece you know that's what I want to hear you so we have guys there's not a whole lot more to this PC I'd like to spend a bit more time with it as I said before but ultimately Luke's a happy camper over double the area happy and we're just gonna eat some dinner and I'm gonna head on home because I am over an hour away from Lukey has moved away from the Gold Coast now unfortunately but if you guys have any questions about PC house call I'll put the link to the previous episode episode one where I tuned up James PC I'll put the link in the description below for that and if you have any questions for Luke or I in the description or in the comment section below then drop a comment and we'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon yourself for now you get the mic right I'll see ya peace out for now so sure power supplies yep terrible power supplies yeah so from the start been met Brian when it's what's better than one gold Mike two gold mice and we're pairing this often and we're pairing this off a see sonic 650 watt doll rated power and they're gonna see what this case can look after and you go talk closer you talk about you talk like this with the mic you talk that way and you have it just under your lip so you're not going like this if you go this you know it's gonna pop yeah all right yeah that's good and remember the Mike's gotta move with you to it's like this yeah so yeah you hold the bar hide the bicep and it moves one in tandem with you like this see ya welcome Lee Lewis welcome back to tech yes it is Brian coming to you guys today peace now bye
