Prepping The Benchmark Rigs & Overclocking on a $20 ECS Motherboard?

2016-06-29
since it I'm going to be pulling apart the mini concept rig and putting jokers 5820k which he sent to me for pretty cheap on it and overclocking it and also building a Sandy Bridge PC for upcoming benchmarks because why the hell not welcome back to check yes it is brand coming to you guys today we look at like a vlog of some things are going to do for upcoming benchmarks and one of those things is going to be pulling apart this open test bed here and then putting a 5820k on it overclocking it and also putting that water cooler on it then behind that I've got a z77 motherboard with the Sandy Bridge CPU now I'm going to be building that rig as well so let's get on with this you all right so we got this test rig setup the 5820k it's going on now Joker said this thing could do 4.6 gigahertz at 1.3 volt I believe it is so we're going to go put that to the test now and then see if it's boots and see if it can go through with the stress test so let's get on with that now all right so we're starting the benchmark now and we're going to give this 10-minute run at 4.6 gigahertz so let's see if it can do this okay maybe not 4.6 he hurts fully completely stable alright so let's try 4.5 gigahertz this time and see if this holds up with about 10 minutes of benchmarking so we're now stable at 4.5 gigahertz for 10 minutes so this is a pretty good CPU this is a 1.26 5 volt so which give 4.6 gigahertz another shot now by tweaking a few settings in the bias and seeing if it works properly so just doesn't look like 4.6 gigahertz is working let's get on now to the Z 77 and 2500 K combo you all right so we're in the BIOS for the ECS motherboard here on the z77 line and I got to say this there's very limited options here I have never seen a BIOS on an overclocking motherboards being this simplistic but we've got the ratio here at 46 and we've got a weird setting here overclocking extra bowling I think that's extra voltage and it's got one over 256 so I'm guessing that's like every factor is one of like 256 I'm not too sure like I've never seen this setting before either so we're just going to try and let it go at 46 and that's all changed so we've literally upped this from 33 all the way to 46 I'm just going to see if that works when you're going to save changes and exit and hope and pray for the best right so this is booted up fine into windows at 4.6 gigahertz now we're just going to run the stress test and see if this CPU is all right I mean the voltage here looks absolutely fine I mean that's reasonable for a 4.6 gigahertz overclock see there it's sitting around 1.3 3 volt and this is where the mediocre su as well like I'm not using anything super fancy here so we're going to see if this runs for 10 minutes at 4.6 gigahertz on pretty much auto settings okay so we've had this stress test running for about an hour now and it's passed with flying colors so we're going to try and up it a little bit maybe to 4.8 gigahertz and see if it runs all right so 4.8 doesn't work hey maybe the auto voltage was gone a little bit too high or maybe it just couldn't connect with the computer on that level because you know CPUs have feelings and all that alright so 4.7 has gone straight into the desktop and crashed so we got lucky at 4.6 that was straight away the first overclock we locked in and it looks like the sweet spot for this CPU and motherboard so there we have it that CPU from Joker the 5820k which cost me $250 did go up to 4 point 5 gigahertz stable now I probably could have went to 4 point 6 gigahertz if I had a much better power supply so I don't think Joker's claims were too far off there and also on that note with that z77 motherboard the $20 friggin bargain especially when a couple with that $80 2500 K which overclocked all the way up to 4.6 gigahertz and for $100 combo that's really damn good value one thing I will say is that that's z77 motherboard that is by far got to be the easiest overclock I have ever done in my life literally just hit the multiplier up to 46 save and exit and it's good to go and actually are going to say the voltages weren't too far off what I have experienced with Sandy Bridge so I gotta say that it's not such a bad thing that you can overclock that easy so I guess kudos to ECS on that front even though that mother wood did only have a 1 4 pin connector there which probably limited it to going even higher than 4.6 I'm not too sure there may have been the CPU or it may have been that full pin since it only allows it to go to a hundred and 15 watts I think and we're getting around about a hundred watts at 4.6 so 46 gigahertz so I don't know if that was the limiting factor but even so 4.6 for the money that we paid for this combo is really damn good value there and I can't complain whatsoever so without going too far off topic we now have three systems set up here with different architectures and also different core counts so I'm really looking forward to giving you guys some of the benchmarks of these upcoming GPUs on these systems so stay tuned for that and if you like this video then please give it a big thumbs up if you have any questions or comments about the content today's video be sure to conversation below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can if you haven't ready subscribe and whatnot and all that goodness because there's some awesome videos to come and I'll catch him the next one peace out for now bye oh damn man look at that look at that Kurosaki Ichigo case I mean $35 like where have you been all my life criticized Ichigo case I know people like over see the lady man what do I go to kudasai kids you go from Brian it's like damn brother I don't know and you're gonna come to Japan and get one of these things that's right pay 2 grand for a flight and then just get a $35 case now worth it right there
