five gigs so I've been promising this for a while now do you guys I've been saying my chip can get to five gigahertz and it did this morning I got the five gigahertz at 17 degrees ambient so cooled down a little bit I've been waiting for it to cool down a little bit and all this is on a $30 air cooler so let's pull that up for you guys there you can see there the Animax T 40 this thing is just freakin amazing value for money anyway let's get onto the video where I got manage to get this clock and I'll show you the details it's not exactly a 5 gig clock on all cause it's actually 5 gig on one of the cause but it's enough to get 5 gigs so technically it's still 5 gigs anyway let's have a look at the video all right so we're booting up now and this message will come up because yep didn't shut down successfully last time because we had a failover clock in there but this time it should be okay so it's booting up and it's in - it's on to the desktop so this is a 5 gig on the first core and 4.9 on the second and 4.9 on the third and fourth but I'll get into that later I'll get into that later we're going to open up CPU Z for you guys and show you the five gig on Haswell so let's zoom the camera in a bit closer for you guys and show you that there there it is five gigs beber and the voltage is pretty damn high but it's 17 degrees ambient temp so it's pretty cool so it's I was waiting for it to cool down before I actually got this overclock as you know I don't want to run a 5 gig overclock in the heat of summer in the middle of summer so it's been very hot as lately but it's finally cooled down I was finally able to get these this overclock for you guys now the temperatures here are oh this is over idle scenes here it's almost idling like 19 degrees or 20 degrees over idle which is pretty damn huge but this is a dealer chip - so basically if you guys didn't know you should deal it'd your house well if you can I do recommend it so I'm going to go over I'm going to go through some of the settings for you guys right now I'll go into the BIOS and sort of explain everything I did to get this overclock obviously I'm not going to load up prime95 it'll probably crash this is only just a pretty much a suicide run as what they call it in the overclocking community just the show mate CPU can boot up in five gigs but armed I'll just quickly change it back to my 4.6 gig profile as you know that's you know I don't I don't feel too comfortable running my chip at around 1.4 volt and keep in mind if your chip is over 1.4 volt you can pretty much you know one point four volts per notch this threshold if you go over that threshold you're pretty much in danger of actually you know damaging a chip so really be careful when you start playing with those higher voltages obviously for me like I said before I'll waiting for the temperatures to cool down and you know obviously it did so I was able to get this kind of suicide run for you guys but I'll go through the settings here and what I did to sort of achieve this overclock and I'll sort of detail it for you guys but most of you know most of time I'm comfortable running at four point six but we'll go first here we'll go through so basically one hundred megahertz that's the base clock the CPU strap is at one as well so you know if you want to tweak you can use those settings but for me I was just going for a raw five GIGO clock so I didn't need to touch that now the CPU PCIe pol if you're using a low clock strap it is recommended to use the Southbridge PLL so that's something you guys might want to remember now obviously with the cause it's locked in at 50 so that's 500 which gets you the five gig overclock now the one of the most important things is to hit dynamic mode here because if you hit dynamic clip mode you are then able to adjust every core individually so even though it's five gigs you can actually go later on to the CPU features and change that but you see there the just for now we're going to show you there's the ring ratio is 4.1 I like to keep it there it's a good sweet spot for the ring ratio for my CPU every CPU will have a ring what I call a ring ratio sweet spot mine's 4.1 feel free to copy my settings if you want to also the core voltage there is one point three nine volt which is pretty damn high I don't like to take it over one point four volt that's just me it's just me personally I'm not going to really risk damaging my chip as I can't afford to replace it but let's go down to DRAM it's just clocked at 1.5 volt the XMP profiles are more than fine for house while it loves that sort of I reckon it loves that you know my testing I did with the frame latency testing it loves the low seal timings and you know the ramp speed doesn't matter so much on as well so the one PCH 1.5 voltage I just upped that a little bit and up the other one as well the one point zero five to one point zero seven so here we've got now if we go into CPU features this is the most important thing I disabled my C States obviously for this suicide run I don't my faulty changing up and down so I disabled that now you see here one core the first core you can change that to 50 which it might you know my first core is capable of going to five gigs the second core went to four point nine the third and four cores they're a little bit of a you know they weren't as good as the other two and they could only get to four point eight now this is the biggest thing with Haswell and you know a lot of people messaging me like man I can't get my chip you know it only goes to four point two at one point three volt and now this is made me realize something that maybe your chip only has one bad call maybe you can get the other calls to four point six at one point three volt and maybe keep one of the cores at 4.20 at one point three volt so I'm going to bring out a sort of intermediate sort of advanced overclocking tutorial for Haswell and I'm going to show you guys in you know how to get the most out of your CPU on this z87 platform so anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this video and you know it's sort of I'm gonna you know I'm not really going to keep it at five gig too much but if you did enjoy it please give it a thumbs up and if you have already subscribed take your seat and I'll catch you guys soon with another video peace out for now
