R7-1700 + Wraith Spire + B350M - How GOOD is the Overclocking W/ 1080 Ti

2017-03-28
so I just got my be 350 ma from Azusa I got this for like a hundred Australian dollars on a bargain on eBay with 20% off and same with the are seven seventeen hundred this was about four hundred a strand all and it includes the raised spire cooler so today I'm going to be overclocking this thing and checking just how well this thing can do on a budget so I just got this combo in here and you guys have been requesting that I do some content with the more budget orientated rising gear and today we're just going to be doing exactly that first up I've just got a little graphics card that needs no PCIe connection so I can just see how high the overclocks go on the stock cooler then after that we'll change things up a little bit and see what performance we can get out of this be 350 motherboard which I know a lot of people are looking to buy one of these and especially the upcoming r5 CPUs that's the six cores on a budget so as soon as we jump into the BIOS here it's actually pretty hot in this room at the moment we're talking about 28 degrees Celsius so if anything this is going to be a little bit of a worst-case scenario for the B 350 but you see here I've booted up in this motherboard already and these are the settings I'm getting already like I've only spent a few minutes overclocking this thing and I've got three point seven five gigahertz on the rest by Cooler I've also managed to get my memory up to 29 33 megahertz I will try to get it up to 3200 megahertz but that's around about the sweet spot I mean the max memory speeds on a be 350 or looking like this 3200 megahertz another thing too is is that I've noticed is that the vehicle on this motherboard does max out around I think it is yeah there it is this the 3.875 blog so I guess that is the limitation of the be 350 chipset so if we do max that voltage out how high can we go with the risin c4 you are we actually able to run a benchmark for instance as say 3.8 5 gigahertz which would be very good for not just people on a budget but also for total performance out of Rison since it looks like the max over clocks you can get here around about four to four point one gigahertz so if you can get this out of a real budget combo like this and the value for money is just incredible another good thing about this bar is that you can save the overclocking profiles so I have tried a few different things already the three-point-nine didn't actually work but we're going to give the 3.85 another try here so let's boot this up and see how it goes so now we've booted up into Windows we can see here the clocks are confirmed with the latest edition of hardware monitor here so we've got three point eight five gigahertz so let's run a quick Cinebench test and see if we can do this now I am a little bit worried about the vrm on this motherboard since it doesn't have as many phases of the next 370 motherboard but with that note it does run pretty well I mean if we chuck some heat sinks on this MOSFETs and then we start cooling with a fan I think we could have a really good budget solution here especially with the cooler going you're able to take this to three point eight five gigahertz now would you want to get an aftermarket cooler maybe if you're gaming for long periods of time and whatnot but the straights by cooler is actually really damn good out of the factory I can see here we go almost 1700 SCB out of a combo that only cost me like five hundred Australian dollars so but at the moment the maximum temperature we've reached was 82 degrees Celsius in a 28 degrees Celsius environment so this is looking pretty good we can run it a few more times and see just how good it is but wow man this price performance here is just absolutely phenomenal so I'm going to chuck some heatsink on this motherboard put a little fan on there and then also throw on a GTX 1080i and just run some benchmark of 1080p to show you guys just how smooth the gaming performance is and of course chucking this kind of combo with the 1080p is absolute overkill but it's still going to prove that the Rison r7 on a budget is still a really good solution for someone looking for just great all-around performance so I've got some little gold heat sinks here you can get these off eBay for so cheap I think they're around a dollar I'll put a link in the description below anyway but you can get different colors as well I think I just opted for the cheapest option but essentially what you do is you just stick these on the mosfet though with that said you have to be very careful when putting these on I usually won't recommend it if you haven't done this before because if they touch resistors or any other electronics you can make things go up in smoke which is really bad but let's put these on the MOSFETs on this B 350 and then try to maybe even Chuck a fan on top of that just to help the vrm cool down since it doesn't actually have any passive or active cooling on its vrm at the moment it's just a complete naked vrm which is like one of the worst-case scenarios for cooling an overclocked CPU right so we've just finished installing the mosfet vrm heat sinks here and if we zoom in really closely you can see this one's at a slight angle and there's a reason for that if we look in really closely here we can see that that resistance on the left and on the right I'm just clearing both of those because we don't want to be touching those they're the things I warned about don't have any metal touching those otherwise it will cause problems but for what it's worth it should be okay guys this should be good to go we'll do a little quick test run of course ready to switch off the power supply immediately if there's any issues so let's give this a go so we just booted off our computer and now we are back into Windows and it looks like the heat sinks are doing just fine there so there's no problems usually if problems do occur that will occur like immediately so keep your eye out if if you do want to attempt one of these mods which I don't recommend if it's your first time building at all but this is just for like wow what can I do on a budget kind of thing so now we're going to actually try and put a fan over this and then we're also going to try and install the ten atti and do some benchmarking games so I'm just doing some final tuning now before we get on to the gaming benchmarks and also I've noticed that the voltage on this I was able to drop it down by quite a bit but you can still see here in Hardware monitor it's still going up to pretty high levels of voltage so it's kind of like that offset mode has a mind of its own on this be 350 motherboard the temperatures are looking really good keep in mind that I did set the speed on the fans to just cool and they're actually really quiet at that so everything is looking pretty sweet I actually did have to up the system-on-chip voltage on this motherboard just a little bit too so that might be something that I'll have to look into a little bit more and the VTT on the memory I had to boost that just a tad as well but let's get on with those gaming benchmarks guides because this thing is running very sweet at the moment you so there's the first benchmark there on 1080p ultra with the 1080 TI and it was just so damn smooth it handled it really well and you can see there the average FPS is 134 which is insane that's really good so it looks like the optimizations are flowing through horizon but let's do another couple of our benchmarks here and just to confirm the miss things pretty stable and it's running really well so there it is guys another benchmark on this rising CPU at 3.8 5 gigahertz and the results are just really impressive for this kind of money damn let's move on to the last benchmark now which i think is Ghost Recon wildlands which is unoptimized at this point in time but still we'll give it a run but man I'm just so impressed so far denoted guys the last benchmark that we did was the Ghost Recon wildlands we see there the CPU usage this thing wasn't even having any troubles and the frame rates were really good now I did set this too high instead of ultra because this game is just so graphically intensive at the moment so the fact that it can pull those frame rates with really good minimum frames is a really good thing for horizon so let's move over now to a conclusion with this setup so there it is the cheapest motherboard I could get my hands on for a be 350 and it's absolutely kicking ass with the cheapest eight core I could get on the horizon line that's the r7 1700 and it even came with the cooler so this whole combo again just incredible value for money now I will be doing some more tests but it looks like those updates especially starting to flow through for performance the BIOS update is enabling me to get the memory up even on this beast 352 to 933 R megahertz on the memory and also it's handling a 1080 TI overclocked absolutely fine at 1080p man this thing is doing so well I can't wait to bring you guys a build with this budget set up sort of like cookie cutter rise and build I've also got my workstation coming as well so stay tuned for that because I promised before Verizon came out I said if the performance is good I'll be switching my main rig over to rising and that's exactly what's going to happen please stay subscribe and hit the like button and I'll be coming back to you guys with another tech video very soon and if you've got any questions about today's videos be sure to drop a comma in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can he's out for now bye
