Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition Overclocking Tutorial (NCIX Tech Tips #64)

[PhatboyHD88]

@andy26473 , I also build them for a live ! He does not !!! He just tells ppl to do things the wrong way so they burn up their hard earned CPU they worked hard for ... So ZIP IT JR !!!

[PhatboyHD88]

@andy26473 , you are clueless like Linus so be Quite little boy !! I have a Bachelors degree in computer sconce & technologies

! He doesn't !!! So get a grip jr !!

[PhatboyHD88]

Sorry forgot to add multiplier for 4.0ghz it is 20 .... 4.2 ghz is 21 BLCK IS ALWAYS 200.!!!

[Andy26473]

@PhatboyHD88 Shut up i think he knows more than you about computers

[PhatboyHD88]

Dude you are clueless on how to overclock this CPU !!! Why you giving bad info to ppl !! I have this CPU ... And never put voltage that high on a Gulftown CPU !!!! I am running @ 4.2 ghz @ 1.256 volts !!! Validated by cpuid !! And people don't set the BLCK and Multiplier his way it's all wrong !! Set BLCK to 200 and Multi to everyone knows that but Linus !! That's for 4.0ghz ,,, for 4.2 just bump multi up to 21... That is the PROPER WAY to overclock this CPU !!!!

[MOTACJ]

I have this cpu on my classified 3 motherboard. I am running it on air until i figure out how I'm going to water cool it. Anyway, my heatsink (V10 Cooler Master) should be able to get me to about 4ghz easy. However, I'm skeptical about following this tutorial without knowing what I'm doing. Do you guys have any suggestions on books or sites that I can use as a form of research so that I can learn how to overclock and know exactly I'm doing? If so, I'd appreciate a reply. Thanks

[PCGamerOldSchool]

LOL, just seen the rest of the video now, Must have crahed out before.

[PCGamerOldSchool]

How the hell is this a tutorial,!!! It doesn't show you how to do anything in the bios!, Ie Settings and Voltages.

[wilsonroseroc]

lo maximo



[Smurphy702]

This processor costs more than my whole PC. O.o

[ftlqed]

Yah, that's messed up man, it needs to neg pin 14, all the tech will run if you power the ground instead of the high. This means no electrons are added to the CPU, it actually has to steel them from the case, and it will work with all the electronics in pure mode. Some diagrams show multiple negative 12 volts that have to be turned positive, but that would really really be worth it, and its only $650 now on google. How to decompile for 12 cores?

[ComputerInfoChannel]

Normaly i would say. BOXED COOLER FOR OC ? CRAZY ? but this cooler is niiice :D

[lodemerisback]

can i ask your facebook account, you have a nice voice and presentation thanks

[frozenskipper]

My i5 rubs at 1.6GHz mostly, but boosts up to 4.3GHz, is that correct?

[ThatAfrohGuy]

@frozenskipper Before I got my 990x, my i5 did that. Its perfectly fine :) Its a tech inside sandy bridge i believe

[frozenskipper]

@ThatAfrohGuy yup, got it figured out now, but thanks anyways :)

[keiki646]

you know that a 980X can beat a 2600K and 2700K easy

[SUBW00F3RR]

@keiki646 But you can get 2 2600K's for the price of one 980x, while it's not nearly double the speed. :)

[DarkFireMario100001]

2:22 .core i9 ?

[SmartassX1]

I have that CPU with an EAH6970 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5 :D

[starwarsfan76]

@UnufcE 980 non x edition is locked at 25x multi with 4.8GTs QPI.

980x is unlocked multi and 6.4 GTs QPI.

Real world youll never notice the QPI difference.

[Squirelll]

@UnufcE 980x has an unlocked multiplier, which to be honest isn't really that good...

[frankknopers]

Core i7 980

[Sysinput]

can this be done with the i7-980 with same results? im running a Rampage 3 extreme, i7-980, 12gb ddr3 Xms3 2000mhz ram, evga gtx 460 1gb. i want to get it to 4.0ghz but im new to OC, and voltage settings are jibberish to me. since this setup is Darn close to mine, can you tell me Stable settings? My current settings are set to X.M.P mode Core speed 3444.2mhz Multiplier x24.0 Bus Speed 143.5mhz QPI Link 3444.1mhz do you know the most efficent settings to achieve a stable 4.0ghz from my Bios?

[ZephernVideos]

RICER

[wwyk1993]

RealTempGT says i9 XD

[GermanGhettos]

My H80 has the same temperatures like the stock cooler from the I7 980x lol

[wwyk1993]

@GermanGhettos Reseat.

[GermanGhettos]

@wwyk1993

What do you mean? ^^

I bought also Prolimatech PK1 thermal compund :(

[wwyk1993]

@GermanGhettos Reinstall your cooler. H80 should beat that cooler by a huge margin.

[GermanGhettos]

@wwyk1993

I have 36°C Idle and about 65-70°C with Prime95 12 threads.

But also my graphics card blows hot air at the H80 hoses and I got high performance CL7 Ram.

With 1.65Volts which also should cause a higher temperature.

Is it normal?

The CPU runs at normal speed with HT and Turbo at 3,46GHZ.

[wwyk1993]

@GermanGhettos What clock speed are you at right now??

[GermanGhettos]

@wwyk1993

3,46GHZ tells me CPU-Z.

Now at the Internet I have 36°C.

[secretRBRman]

lol. i just bought myself a quadro 4000 aswell. unforuntaly the 2 GTX 580's did a better job. so the quadro 4000 is just sittting around. I'm gona have to sell it on ebay or build a 3dsmax specific pc on the side.

[SniperKillerize]

3:15

[gonemtbiking]

@butterfinger8000 Faster video rendering...or other rendering

[secretRBRman]

Got my 990x oc"d at 4.3 ghz. Temps between 20 to 40 degrees on cheapo h70 cooler. Look 4 peles on modsrigs.com

[Amuffin456]

@secretRBRman May I borrow your machine for a little? XD

[ziccy7]

Remove wat

[CarloDeivid]

@butterfinger8000 Yes, that is true, but some guys wanna be "cool" and get more fps :D

Anyway, that noise isnt for me :P

[Vaclover1]

Lol at 2:24 it says Intel core i9

[CarloDeivid]

@Vaclover1 Lol? What are you talking about ? ^^

[Vaclover1]

@CarloDeivid If you look closely at the temp monitor at 2:24 it stands core i9

[CarloDeivid]

@Vaclover1 Lool, you right :D Epic fail ^^

That CPU must be awesome ;)

[GoTnDonut]

BORING xD

[UNL1M1T3DRAG3]

CLICK LIKE IF THIS GEEK IS YOUR IDOL

[Hengilbert]

your windows isnt genuine :D

[uzuhl2]

@Hengilbert I knew it! Linus IS a pirate! =D

[dino213aa]

why does he say 'processor' like that? PRO-cess-OR

[ConBatRigs]

what program is used to tell core temps? I am new and thinking of overclocking my system a little but would like this program.

[terastarship2]

I am not in a hurry to upgrade and I still can wait but I just wanted to know about what the heck is Intel doing with all of these sockets. There are too many sockets that could be obstacle to our future PC upgrade. It looks like the ugly history is repeating again.

[terastarship2]

In the past (in 1990s), some people are not able to upgrade their CPU after they just bought their new motherboard & now, its happening again & Intel is not learning from its past mistakes. This also happened to the early LGA 775 motherboard, if I'm correct.

[terminalfx]

Ive got a Corsair H70 cooler on my 980x running at 4.0 ghz, and after 30 min of Prime95 torturing (12 threads), only one core peaked out at 57 C, average temp was 54 C across all 6 cores at 100% load. much better than the stock HSF.

[fatqwert200]

ITS LIKE CARS WITH COMPUTERS... STOCK RADIATOR 3.9 LITERS 3.9 GHZ SO-FORTH HAHA

[fatqwert200]

ITS LIKE CARS WITH COMPUTERS... STOCK RADIATOR SO-FORTH HAHA

[IanasAnd]

AMD just started to cry

[TehYitime]

@IanasAnd correction they have 1100t processor which is just as good as this and is alot cheaper as well amd have there new series processors coming out this month or next month

[naumaanhamid]

my pc overclocked watching this video

[Abdelmoumen]

To be honest Prime 95 is horrible, if you wanna see your i7 dying, I dare you to run intel burn test by agentGOD. Obviously, you will get higher temp with intel burn test.

Trust me, you will,

[theUSJtimun]

do I need a londonbridge cooler when overclocking?

[TheKiwiSniper]

hahahaha a bit louder now....

poor cooler, hes gonna die :(

:D

[TheRammsteizer]

Is this better than the Intel Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge?

[googley98]

@TheRammsteizer well...yes becuase it can be over clocked higher but, before you buyit the values are just not right with this processor, it's just 2 expensive only buy this one if you really need it

[RadonZack]

Why the fuck would you overclock an i7 extreme? It just puts more ware on it. And its already powerful enough.

[TheMaristBoy]

@RadonZack Why? because you can and it's very very very very very tempting.............

[mariopawnch]

@RadonZack you would be supprised what some people do with there computers

[I7]

that me intel core i7

[dylbyl1234]

@I7 i luv u

[gazzxr]

Do i need a northbridge cooler when i'm overclocking?

[ZombieKillzoneOps]

@gazzxr well if it gets hot at all you should need one or else it will melt

[TheEGGtech]

whoa Linus with bleeched hair :S

[chronofusion]

@iTzDANiiEL with liquid nitrogen cooling..you could run that cpu for more than 5 years easily. 30 to 40 c for amd and intel cpu's for the past 7 years or more at least..have easily lasted 7 years under the right voltage settings and if the motherboard is made for it. ( 10 yr custom builder here. I still have an amd 3000+ 2.0 ghz single core running at 2.6 ghz since day one and i still use it every day for work and older gaming multitasking semi constant temps at 43 c with aftermarket cooler.

[ModifyPhase]

@chronofusion ha...my last pc lasted me since 02 to 2 weeks ago...had like 2 gb ram...intel something (was best at the time 02 when i bought it)...

[SHELLAPROCOPIOc]

Meet Asian women lushfmlk.info

[chronofusion]

@SHELLAPROCOPIOc piss off ad troll. this isn't about dating sites

[TheAks30]

@NCIXcom what?

did core i7 really existed 8 years ago?

[nuksfilms]

so much power. hahaha

[MonsterEta]

how much that will coast the price ... please give the all amount ...

[Tech4U247]

can u show an overclock of the new 990x please, because some people are getting 4.6 GHz from it

[shiekta]

@iTzDANiiEL

No i checked it in gaming it never went over 50C aslong the cpu isnt at 100% load everything is fine

I remember testing my i7 980 at 3.3GHz with the stock cooler and tested it with prime i got almost the same results it is realy hard to get 6 cores verry cool

[WoWkiddymage]

@shiekta do you think you can get i very cool with a good iquid cooling system?

[shiekta]

@WoWkiddymage

i dont do watercooling

[Dario24061994]

exelente maquina ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Dario24061994]

excelente maquina

[shiekta]

i tested it with prime95 one core went o 80C is that alright?

[igrowweedfromaseed]

6 core

hyperthreading

4 ghz

are you fucking insane the computer will read it as 12x4ghz OMFG! why 12?- HT.

thats so damn insane motherfucker what game would be better then any than any i7 abouve 900 models?

[HowToHDTutorials]

@igrowweedfromaseed Fuck! This is EXTREME! It is Insane :///

FUCK!

[HowToHDTutorials]

@igrowweedfromaseed Also this supid fuckers are not happy with their extremly System but they want more....

More and more....

[igrowweedfromaseed]

@HowToHDTutorials -.- fuckers want more, they should upgrade the grapics cards, or hard disks. since any 4 core with 2ghz+ will do more than fine even on crysis 2.

The engine requires way mroe grapic power. only games like starcraft 2 is heavy on cpu out there atm.

[UrTrash1]

Intel=Overpriced and fast.AMD=fair-priced and fast.

[Iconlast]

@CoolSeaMonkeys wahaha well said :)

[flatroncup]

gr8 man i was working in overclocking for the first time after reading alot of guide's and help i got from many forum.... u made the video i was in the need of it .. it helped i overclocked 3ghz to 4ghz my i7 ty

[cowlefrbeify]

speedstep aint working in demo hahaha,,,

[bskdopeboy]

@cowlefrbeify You should turn it off to overclock, dude.

[cowlefrbeify]

@bskdopeboy i did it off a friend with speedstep...

[bskdopeboy]

@cowlefrbeify Turn it off; seriously. I'm on a Q6600 and it's been turned off since day 1.

[ayemy]

do all nerds with double ear rings taalk this fuckin loud

[rthompson995]

@CoolSeaMonkeys i was comparing intel with amd, glory with shit...

[I3lackl3ear]

lol go buy one if you can afford it..

[HaYnSteelPunk]

Would it be a waste of money if I bought the Core i7 980x Extreme and kept it at the default clock of 3.3 Ghz?

[rthompson995]

@HaYnSteelPunk yes... it costs 1000$.

[HaYnSteelPunk]

@rthompson995 Is there a cheaper way to get a system that's clocked at 3.2 ghz?

[rthompson995]

@HaYnSteelPunk why dont you just get a i5 or i7 and overclock it to 3.2?

[HaYnSteelPunk]

@rthompson995 I was just wondering what i need to clock to 3.2 ghz but standard clocking

[iXeNooN]

your awsome mate.

[OpticJBigBalls]

how long will this processer last if overclocked to 4 ghz ?? 5 months ?

[rthompson995]

@OpticJBigBalls its intel dude not amd...

[darylglenn100]

but will it blend?

[2point6x4]

6 CORES? He's a mad man

[GenuineMW2]

"Go Buy One If You Can Afford It",sure i'll have to have 2 mortgages to pay for

that thing lol =)

[GenuineMW2]

@2point6x4 Hey Your The Same Fag I Saw Earlier.

[GenuineMW2]

@GenuineMW2 Hey,and you were the same fag that thought apple made PC processors.

[GenuineMW2]

@2point6x4 noobs buy apple computers,and i read that some mac-book pro's can get as hot

as 225F and that will make your processor loose 60% of its life span.also Intel makes the processors

that go in macs anyways.INTEL FTW!

[GenuineMW2]

@2point6x4 no but my bud huskermania does check out his channel . *cough* Intel *cough* is better *cough*

[Pawcu4ever]

hopefully i dont fry mine :p

[omguhoar]

17 people fried their i7 980x extreme

[MADMANx511]

The funny thing is, give it 5 years and this will be the average/norm clock speed hahaha, but today it's like WOW!

[DEKARONGAMER97]

15 ppl have AMD

[mrdiamondback1]

This maybe Is a dumb question, but what are ''overclocking''?

[android827]

@mrdiamondback1 ur mom

[tippete123]

is that the classified 3 with no fan?

[Vartrex5]

Yes, but will it blend?

[Giatr0s]

The stock speed of 980x is 3,6 Ghz in Turbo mode,but without this the stock speed is 3,3325 Ghz!

[stalkerchernobyl]

anyone could tell me what motherboard thats awsome with Intel Core i7-980X and the best cooler? im not intressed of over clocking i just keep it at 3.4 im thinking of buying this...

[bigbelly1994]

Dude ,the windows you're using is a copy windows! What a shame!

[starwarsfan76]

@bigbelly1994 It's because when he changes hardware it makes him re-register which is inconvenient for him.

[Mehecanogeesir]

This processor with an H70..I could just leave the multiplier at 30x? and cpu voltage at 1.35?

[elayda93]

whoah!!

[Othy27]

faggot tool for nerd.. AMD RULS!!!

[Klemmetsmo]

@Othy27 Jeez, stop with the Fanboy thingy. its lame :P

[Keahlii]

@Othy27 dude shut up theyre both good processors so shut up

[Othy27]

@Keahlii sorry.. i know this i7 is great.. but i don't know y i hate intel?? i want this intel down!! i wanna see a new world!! i wanna see AMD world!!! :)

[Keahlii]

@Othy27 I have both a intel 6core 980x extreme and phenom II 1100T black edition and love em both so I honestly dont see the fuss I think the AMD card has a little more performance from what ive read but idk idc

[UberScubaNZ]

@Othy27 cpubenchmark"OMG!!"net/high_en­d_cpus"OMG!!"html

Replace "OMG!!" with a dot... there is your answer on which is best...

[Othy27]

@UberScubaNZ Did You Take Your Medicine?

[UberScubaNZ]

@Othy27 Yes, I took my medicine Intel made, because the AMD medicine just couldn't cut it in comparison...

[Othy27]

@UberScubaNZ Medicine from intel?? omg.. that's why u sound lunatic (O_O)

shh shh~

[matty12345a1]

i am a intel fanboy and wahoo i win

[Slimbellio14]

@blowupuate13 nothing can use 48 cores, and will be largely pointless. Intel will always beat clock for clock... and i'm an AMD fanboy - 1055t @ 3.8ghz

[MultiRollOff]

a bit louder now.... WROOOOOM!!! xD

[blowupuate13]

As an AMD fanboy... I admit defeat! But intel beware cause bulldozer is coming and 48 cores will blow this 980x outta da water!!

[Zico10101010]

try to use something make the viewer want to buy except tell "yeah it's cool go buy it"

[lH0VA]

I came.

[cheesybro1]

..and its even funnier with subtitles

[iceboxonly1]

Amd The best offcourse this thing is far to expensive

[1W15HT0]

Your hair better not still look like this.

Good lord.

[SpeedKnotz]

you really don't need to overclock an i7 980X, it's already a MONSTER as it is.

[IANVeta]

what power supply do you recommend for sli 570 and the 980x? would a 1000w be good enough or should i go with 1200w?

[spidi550]

@IANVeta

sli 570 is a good setup.

But if you want better graphic performance, i would choose:

3 way gtx 580, and an intel core i7 950.

A 1000w power supply would be enough, but i would rather choose for 1200w, since it is better to have to much wattage on spare, then not to have enough.

PS: A dual 570 configuration can eat up to about 800 watt of power on full stress mode. Reserve power supply for the processor, and the rest. Ads up to +400 watt, depending on the hardware.

[motherfuckpiecessh1t]

BURN!!!!!!

[MrSilver222]

I'm satisfied with my i5 overclocked to 4ghz. Dont need anymore

[yesplease45]

@MrSilver222 DENIAL!! :) im just sayin

[Andycreep11]

4.0ghz with intel fan from the box lol very nice

[hearnechearne]

helped alot, much easier then i thought!!

[Oxweed]

*fap*

*fap*

[the14u36]

Earn your pay. lol

[adiitzu2009]

Video Card is ATI Radeon HD 5450

[thomaspruzina]

Well AMD always sucks at benchmarks but excell in games and prices so if you are aiming for games, go for AMD + ATI (or Nvidia). Intel is mostly better for video processing (unless your GPU can do all the work) and also support for thread oriented applications is better (you wont use this very very likely unless you do some paralelization, virtualization or advanced math). If you do need those, you will most likely want to spend your money on Xeon, not dekstop i7.. Amd is wiser choice IMHO...

[MrSaxonwarrior]

@BKsMassive buddy no chance Intel had to bye Dual core technology of AMD you are an idiot AMD doesnt heat up as much and Intel does not have 6 core technology.

AMD is cheaper and better value then Intel and its just as good if not better. my god look at that stock fan its huge for the Intel just to say the AMD stock fan for the 6 core chip doesnt have a huge stock fan because it doesn't heat up like that piece of crap.
