hey YouTube welcome back to tech s it is Barone's coming back to you guys today with the 4.2 gigahertz overclocking tutorial for Haswell so this will be for the i-5 for 670 K and also the i7 4770k now Before we jump into it you're going to need three programs and this is cpu-z most likely 64 bits since most of you guys are probably running 64-bit windows prime95 this is a stress tester for putting out heat and making sure your computer stable and last one is real town which is for monitoring temperatures so yeah and you need these three programs I'm going to put the download link in the description below you can download these three programs also you may wish to check out before you start the server blocking tutorial managed to check out my RAM overflowing tutorial and also my has well optimization guide which will explain why I'm doing a few of the things I'm doing today but also another thing I'm going to stress is seriously run your computer in for three or four days before you start overclocking and the reason for this is to make sure the you know if you make sure if you're overclocking you don't have any faulty hardware or any driver problems so when you first start your computer and you first install your hardware load up optimized defaults have it running at 3.4 gigs and have everything on auto and load up all your favorite games install all your programs get your system setup and make sure nothing's crashing because once we do this it can eliminate once we start overclocking it will eliminate a lot of variables so if we for instance if we just get our computer straight away and we start overclocking it could be because of faulty drivers and we might think oh it might be because of our overclock when it's actually faulty drivers so the reason you can just run all your auto run everything on auto before you start over con it's just to find out how stable your computer is before you start over calling so I recommend it it's crucial for overclocking if especially if it's your first overclock anyway now we're into now we're in bass here so when you start being a beauty just hit delete and you get into the BIOS this is the msi UEFI bios different biases will look different so there's a Zeus will have a different bias asrock will have a different colored bars and gigabyte will have a different style bars but they will all have similar settings in terms of overclocking so in MSI we want to move over to overclock here and it'll bring up a lot of different settings which should be similar just maybe different slightly different names from other board manufacturer to motherboard manufacturer now I'm going to go through all the important settings so the first setting here is a base clock you don't need to change this this is mainly for people who want to get that extra bit of performance out more advanced overclockers who really want to wheeze out that last bit of performance out of their cpu same with the clock strap which is a new feature in the house wall CPUs over the OB Bridge CPUs and this basically let sets your RAM to 1.25 the default speed and also your CPU at 1.25 if you were going to set that to 1.25 we don't have to worry about these two today also the base clock applied mode you want to set this to next boot next boot that's what I find is the best setting so you want to set your settings in then let your computer start up off a fresh boot running the overclock settings now CPU PCL peep sorry PCI PLL we don't have to worry about this setting it's actually fine on auto scene with filter PLL if you're going for more advanced overclocks then you may wish to change these especially this one to Southbridge if you are I mean sorry LLC PLL if you're overclocking from the clock strap now the adjust CPU ratio this is the first big one that we want to change so now we want to set this up to 4.2 because this is the overclock that we're going to be going for today now with a 4.2 gig overclock this is a great overclock for the summer especially when ambient temperatures are like 40 you know can get up to 40 degrees or 35 degrees this is the kind of the one that's not going to be pushing out too much pressure on your components so even if it was a really hot day I'd say if it was 40 degrees you may wish to tune it down even more maybe three-point-eight or something because you know heat is the biggest killer of computer parts voltage as well but voltage produces Heat so that's um mainly that's something to think about there now I've got it at 4.2 here and what you want to do is here you want to set it to dynamic mode because this is going to allow us to use the C 1 the C 1 C state which will down clock our computer and debt and undervolt our computer when it's not being straight it's one of the great features I love about the you know the Intel CPUs the AMD CPUs have it as well I think it's a brilliant feature it's one of the only sea States that I use is the c1e so that'll allow your computer just to you know turbo down create less use less power while it's doing it now this is a new feature with has well is the ring ratio so this is a it will probably be called the cash ratio or could be called something like the cash ratio or the on call ratio it's basically just another setting it's what their level 3 cache the speed at what the cache that besides the CPU is running at so you want to set this at 100 megahertz below your CPU ratio this is what I found is optimal for gaming now now you've set those two you can also go down to here load XMP profiles and you should have at least one profile which is 1600 speed memory so here's my XMP which is at 1600 and it's a 1.5 volt if you guys don't know how to enable you don't know anything about XMP profiles and you can check out my rant over blogging tutorial which will go up with the description below for the both two links that I have for those so I'll put them down below you guys can check them out but for now I found that XMP especially with Haswell 1600 speed memory is the best setting for frame latency so I don't know why this is exactly I do recommend ya getting those getting that 1600 megahertz overclock on your RAM in there with the tight timings so you will what you will want to do that now memory fastboot I'm not enabling any of these features because I don't want my computer to boot up ultra fast and skip the boss digital power you don't have to worry about that also VC CIN voltage you shouldn't have to worry about that the CPU core voltage mode now this is the most important one I want you guys to set this to adaptive mode because it's a new feature with Haswell and basically it's like the new offset it will automatically adjust the voltage for you based on what voltage you've put in here and I found that it's actually a really damn good feature after using it so first of all we're going to go start off with one 11.0 5-volt now if your if your cpu can boot up at 4.2 gigs with one point zero five volt then you have a pretty good cpu also with adaptive mode I find that even if you've under vaulted it it'll give it that little bit extra voltage which is really good you may wish to do offset mode if you're old school but today we're going to be using adaptive mode on both the core and the ring bus so now I'm going to set this at one point I'm gonna set this four point zero to five volts below my core voltage because the fact that it's clocked a hundred megahertz below as well so it doesn't need as much voltage I find it's generally about point zero to five volt it may need a little bit more maybe point zero three may need a little bit less so that's up to you guys to fine-tune so once you've locked in these settings I want you to try these settings first now if your computer does not boot then you just have to hit the clear CMOS button or clear your BIOS and then start again so if your computer did not boot then I want you to go up to one point one and add another point five on to this as well point zero five sorry and once you that should be those settings there so they should be the settings that you try if you fail to boot and keep going up in that kind of keep keep on upping your voltage in those kind of increments until you find a stable level now I'm going to go through all the other settings here because they're important to know these sa voltage you shouldn't have to worry about that it's the system agent voltage which is more for extreme overclocking when you've got extreme memory profiles in there and you're going from really really extreme overclock which you're not gonna have to borrow that bother today with this the input/output memory digital and analog voltage we don't have to worry about them the internal VR ovp OCP protections over voltage protection over current protection I would leave that on auto this is the one that we should be turning off here is the internal via our efficiency management I want you guys to disable this because I found that it helps makes overclocks more stable it also lower the temps by one degree on average what I that's what I found now the after you don't have to worry about the PCH 1.05 or the PCH 1.5 unless you were just running so many different fuels on your computer which I don't think a lot of you guys are so that's about it for now guys that's literally we don't have to worry about too many settings with Haswell except for the ones that I've showed you here now once we're ready to overclock we can then just go to exit sorry there's another setting that I will turn off before I do this and that is the Intel smart connect I always disable this because I don't use it and it's just something I don't need so after that you just go to the X or save configuration and reset and you can also save the overclocking profile if you wish to I mean my since it's not finalized yet I'm I'm going to save it once it's finalized so once the overclocking profile is finalized I will save it so now we boot up into Windows hopefully it will boot home why not it may not be so I don't know this is just me go on for this overclock so we'll see here booting up and yeah I like to give it to you guys uncut this is how it is this is always with my overclocking two doors always do things uncut so first thing we're going to do is load up CPU Z see what voltage we're getting and I mean yeah with with other I mean with with the z77 platform I would recommend going fixed first since Oh since offsets pretty weird but with the house will I find adaptive voltage is actually really damn good and as we see here my voltage even I set it at point zero five it's actually gone all the way up to point zero eight six so adaptive voltage is saying look this is the optimal setting for your CPU so once we now let's we do that we can open prime95 and go in place large FFTs maximum heat so we want to do that we then want to open up real temp you actually open up real temp first but we can monitor our temperatures here and we can see it's running about sixty degrees ambience is about 25 I'd say maybe twenty-six degrees in here at the moon it's pretty hot and yeah that's I mean that's running stable guys so you can leave that on for about 10 minutes and then once you once you do that you can just boot up games and start playing games one of my favorite games for stress testing your whole system is heroes in new earth even though it's not that demanding I found that it finds unstable overclocked really quickly like I'm serious this game if you can play maybe two games of this your system is really close to stable so I do recommend here is a new earth also I recommend a game called Star Wars The Old Republic and planetside 2 is also another one that I've been hearing about itself so really good for stressing stress testing CPUs so once that's done you guys once you know this is for me it's stable so I've actually found out that my core likes one point zero eight volts so I'm going to then go back into BIOS and I'm going to change this to one point zero eight and that's my that's my optimum voltage setting for my computer but if you guys want loading up into the BIOS if you're like Brian you've got a good chip that's cheating then you may wish to go into your overclock settings and simply go back to the voltage and up that all the way up to one point one and you know some people are going to have chips that aren't good at all and they may knit they may have to give their computer one point one five at four point two and also one point two five so when I've been doing a lot of my overclocking tutorial bits I've been doing at about one point two because I think that's what everyone should be able to get around at a four point two gig overclock so my settings are usually like that so yeah just keep upping the voltage until you're stable in prime95 and then after that you may have to start up games so even if it's prime95 stable for 10 20 minutes I find that or even ten hours it you know you can load up a game and it won't be stable that's because you're getting close to your optimum setting you're not there yet but you're close to it so that's about it guys i you know load up the optimum settings for me I found that adaptive voltage found 1.18 was the optimum voltage however I'm going to set that to 1.09 so once you've found your optimum voltage settings I just want you to then give it just that little bit more so you saw there is one point zero eight six so I'm going to give it one point zero nine just that little bit more and that should be a stable really stable overclock for me so once that's finished I can go to overclocking profile this is my first one here I'll go to save over climbing profile and just set the name for it for point two gigs summer so that's my first over longer profile done so once it gets a bit cooler I will show you guys a four point six gig overclocking tutorial for the winter some CPUs may not be able to get to four point six that just depends on your CPU four point four should be doable on most Haswell CPUs so another thing to remember is I've deleted my CPU as well so the temps will be lower and you may wish to use liquid pearl something like that on your CPU yeah guys if you have any questions about this overclocking tutorial then please let me know in the comment section below if you haven't ready subscribe to take care city where I'll be coming back to you guys with some really good tech videos from here on it's going to be really good testing so this is pretty much the last video with house weld and I'm going to be doing and as you can see here's the first going to be getting my budget builds out soon as well so anyway so that's about it for now and yeah so as we load up prime95 here we'll be able to check set that let that stress test open up CPU Z to see the voltage and open up real time so we got one point one volt there so it's just giving it a little bit more and you can see here it's pretty much all stable so it's really good settings there and it should be all stable that should be good for games I'm not going to load up games obviously it's going to take too much time to stress test games on a video but that's about it guys so I hope you enjoyed this video and peace out for now bye
