JJ great tuition on the air flow configuration, I followed other peoples advice of the "PUSH and PULL ", which they stated that the fans at the top is for exhaust, but that is not as effective as your way , where you used the top fans for intake, and just used the rear fan for exhaust. Ps I all ready done it your way before I saw this vid, but this just confirms our choice as to which is best. Looking forward on your next upload.
Thanks for this video! I was having some difficulty overclocking my i5 core 4670k. It was working fine for 40x but no higher. After rewatching this vid, I ran the auto tuning in AISuite 3 and discovered that 40x was the max for 4 cores on my particular CPU, but I could get 41x for 3 cores and 42x for 2 or 1 cores. It also set my memory even a little higher than I expected (1800 on an 1866 - I had only planned on 1600 for max stability). The really nice thing is that it accomplished this in only a minute or two. I stress tested for the last 24 hours and it works great and my max temp is about 53 Deg C for all cores with a Corsair H60. Thanks again for a very informative video!
Only manage 4.5GHz, but my side panel was on and I only have 4 out of 7 fans hooked up to the motherboard as apposed to the power supply, so the temperatures were higher than they actually are. Even so, for someone who hasn't ever touched overclocking before this was a piece of piss. Nice software, easy to use, and I managed to get a little extra bang for my buck. Will try and hit a higher value once I get some molex to 3-pin cables bought. Many thanks JJ! :D
Totally not related to the video but the way those two wires (power and video) go into the monitor and perfectly align with two lines on the desktop wallpaper makes me happy :D
This is fantastic information! Not only will this save me hours of time getting to a stable base OC before tweaking it further but it helps others who maybe aren't as proficient in OC'ing! Great feature, great product! Looking forward to installing my own this weekend!
Thank you very much! Well since all this may seem rudimentary to you guys, to me all even the "simple" over clocking feature i find complicated. You guys rock for having good support on here! Hopefully later on you guys will add a youtube tutorial on how to overclock.
Umm no AI Suite III doesn't have 4 way optimization. Very very irritating. I just got the ITX Deluxe version of the Z87 board with AI Suite III but no 4 way optimization to be found. What's the deal? Was there a mistake or something? Very irritating.
I see I'm not the only one that has run into this. Your video talks about how great the auto overclocking software is with the 4 way optimization so I bought both the Z87i-Deluxe and the Impact but neither have the auto overclocking software. Do you plan to come out with a fix to solve that. Many of us don't have the time to waste dinking around trying to find the perfect overclock. We just want it 95% as fast as possible and with full stability. So the software on the Z87-Pro board is awesome as it does that very thing and takes the system through a full thourough overclock. I guess I'll just have to go back to the Pro board or perhaps try the ASRock board and see if that one auto overclocks. I just like getting the max performance my system is capable of without having to dink around with the frustrations of overclocking manually. Does anyone know if the ASRock ITX board will auto overclock the system like the Z87-Pro board does?
Snail You have to download it from the website. I ended up buying a Z87-Pro but again it isn't the same as it once was. Not sure what is going on. It used to clock up the multiplier and then go through blk and give you a complete solid over clock. Now it just goes through one or the other but not both. I did figure out that you can download the Ai3 from the Z87-Pro and use it on the Deluxe board though. That got me from 4300 up to 4500 so at least that is cool. I sent back my Impact board though and got a Gigabyte N. The Gigabyte clocked right to 4900Mhz!! It's not stable though. lol. It also won't stay there. Every time you reboot you are right back to 4300MHz with the Gigabyte board. Ug! Very strange. I bought a Z87-Pro for a friend about 7 months ago and it clocked him right up to 4700MHz and even did the blk after the multiplier OC. Worked perfect right out of the box. I now have another Z87-Pro and it also clocked to 4700MHz but doesn't do any blk on top of that. Not bad though. Works good.
Yes I consent Asus boards are the best. I think that is truthful. The frustration is that all boards with the "4-way optimization" do not actually optimize your setup the same as others. The ROG board didn't do it at all as it only had preset overclocks. The deluxe ITX board only does the multiplier OR blk but not both. It has been really frustrating. I now have the X79 Deluxe board and that one did actually do multiplier and then blk so I can openly recommend that board no problem. It works really nice when it does what I expected it to do. Still what about the ITX deluxe board? It does multiplier overclock but then stops? Is there an update? I'll get the latest and try it again just to check. So far it doesn't seem to really do the whole job I would expect from a real deluxe board like the new X79 deluxe. Now another thing that is frustrating me is in looking for an ITX Z87 board I got the Gigabyte board. It clocked immediately to 4800mhz. It isn't stable though so it gets a flunk for its auto overclock feature. What is really nice though is that the Gigabyte board boots in like 7 seconds which is at least half the time that ALL my Asus boards take. I've gone into bios and set every feature I can find but they still take quite a long time to boot where the Gigabyte board is super duper fast. Of course I'm only getting 4300mhz out of my Gigabyte board so kudo's to the Asus board as I get a bit more speed with stability out of it. It would just be nice to be able to have a real and true auto over clock that runs it through all the options and then brings the voltage down absolutely as low as is stable and does it all automatically. Perhaps you need to standardize the feature set so someone who has a Z87-Pro for example doesn't have a different experience with the Z87-ITX deluxe.
Ah very interesting information thank you. Another question would be how well is it automatically bringing the voltage down as low as possible in an auto overclock? I found the auto overclock set the voltage at 1.475 for example but on my own I could put it at 1.36 and still have it work the same. How does the automatic overclock deal with where the voltage is set?
It does work ! I have H100i and it did auto-overclock to 4.7!!! It tuned other fans and H100i auto tunes it self based on CPU temperature, but you can tune it from CorsairLink2 software
Thanks for asking, Jim. Not from JJ (sadly), but from one of RoG's forum moderators (HiVizMan). Here's what he said: "Sadly not. The TUF series is a motherboard range which is more about stability and rock solid reliability. TUF have for example the best fan control out of all boards. It is hardware dependant." Almost all of us know that TuF is aimed more towards reliability, and even though my Sabertooth Z87 now handles 4.5Ghz (manually OC'd), I find it strange that such tool isn't available.
I am in the middle of preparing for my first build. I have done some things right (like selecting a z87-a board!) but I bought the i7-4770 (not the i7-4770k), since overclocking seemed like a "bridge too far". Your videos are making me reconsider. I want to use it for CS5 Photoshop and Illustrator, including some 3-d rendering, plus the regular stuff (e-mail, web surfing, word processing). I might, at some point in the future, want to edit video. I have 16 GB of RAM, but have been told that for my needs now a video card is overkill. I am running a 1TB HD and a 120kb SSD. 1) Do I run the 4-stage optimization even though my chip doesn't overclock? 2) Should I exchange the chip for the K version (box is unopened)? What do you recommend as a CPU cooling unit? Or is this a waste for my needs? 3) Is there a video available that tells me what to do next once my system is all wired up. It seems pretty straightforward just putting it together...but then it seems like a big black void. I am absolutely clueless as to how to get it running, etc. 4) what am I missing? I am sure there are questions you could answer that I don't even know to ask yet.... Is this even the right place to be asking these things? Should I contact you some other way? You said write in...and I will have lots more questions as I haul myself up a pretty steep learning curve! Diana
Hey JJ, would there be a chance of you doing an overview of overclocking by hand? I know it varies from platform to platform and processor to processor, but for us ROG enthusiasts, taking the time to generally explain what voltages apply to what circumstances or help in what situations, and so on and so forth? But I do appreciate the intricacies of this 4 Way Opt. program ASUS created. Glad to see one company be consumer based rather than money based. Thanks for any time read or took responding!
I had never tried overclocking before, and after lots of trial and error doing it manually, I decided to give the auto-tuning a try. It worked wonders. I have an i5-4670k, Asus Z87-A, and Hyper 212 EVO. The extreme tuning hooked my system up! 4.7Ghz on 1&2 cores, 4.6Ghz on 3&4 cores at only 1.275v!! That is a very aggressive overclock. I never would have imagined getting such a strong overclock, and I owe it all to Asus. A lot of it is the silicon lottery, but I never would have attempted to push my system this hard. The software they use for the auto-overclock is top notch, and best of all, safe. It limits your voltage to a maximum of 1.275, anything at or below 1.3v is considered safe. A lot of the people who are experiencing bad results are making some silly mistakes. Either they don't have their BIOS fully updated, or they don't have an after market CPU cooler. Of course your results are going to be bad without the most current software! Don't even try to overclock on the stock Intel cooler, you are just asking for trouble. Even if your Asus motherboard doesn't have 4-way optimization, you can still Extreme Auto-Tune your system. Go into AI Suite III, select the TurboEVO/TPU header, then auto-tuning, finally select the extreme auto tune. Viola! You don't need to have 4-way optimization to get an extreme auto tune.
Excellent Video JJ! Lots of great information. I'm just having one issue with the 4-way optimization I'm hoping you can help me with. Unlike your video when the program reaches the TPU check it runs a Full Core Scan repeatedly without ever increasing or incrementing its MHz. It runs the test bar to 100% over and over while staying at 2880 MHz, 000% and 36 across all four cores. I let it run for just under 45 minutes before closing the software and restarting my PC. After booting back up the software continued its process with the EPU. Ever since I ran this optimization my machine has been running an average of 5c hotter then usual. Without increasig the MHz I don't think my system will ever get to the overclock threshold where my machine will shut itself off thereby never making it to the next leg of the test. I'm worried that the information it captured is incorrect and won't optimize the performance of my machine. Any information you can provide will be of great help! Thanks in advance. Anyway to get it to properly run the test or undo any changes it's made to my machine? The specs for my machine are included below: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 CORSAIR Hydro Series H90 High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 Bitfenix Ghost Chassis ASUS GTX660-DC2O-2GD5 GeForce GTX 660 2GB SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache
Great video, and good looking suite with plenty of good features. Personally going to purchase the pro motherboard but I do have one question though, I might have missed it, but just in case. Does it have the ability to let's say disable hyper-threading and let's say two cores for a i7 4770k in order to achieve just a little bit higher clock speed for specific programs that don't benefit from more cores?
I got your OC to work! I reinstalled BIOS v1205 fresh, and then followed your guide. I think that the problem was that previously I took the UEFI "optimized defaults" as my starting point.
I am in planning mode for a new build for photo editing (Lightroom 5) and have returned to asus pro motherboard from the MSI Mpower largely because of this software but a few other issues too. I commend JJ for his excellent speaking style. It is a pleasure to listen to him . . . but he has two mannerisms that detract slightly. If he could eliminate the "going ahead and" and the "OK guys" his presentations would flow just a little better. Other than that I aspire to speaking as well as he does.
JJ, I have been looking for info on the ASUS Ai Suite III, and if it will work with my ASUS A88X-PRO MoBo, and if so, is there anything I need to do in preparation 'before' I run the software? I have been having issues whether installing it, or running it. On my 'first' download and run of Ai Suite III it OC'd my APU/CPU [AMD A10-6800k 4.1Ghz - 4.4Ghz 'Boost'] to 5.8Ghz and was 'still' OC'ing it to the point I got scared my comp was gonna blow up, so I stopped it. Second re-install and run, I got to 4.3Ghz, and it stopped on it's own. Lastly, I just did a 'full' re-install of Windows 7, downloaded Ai Suite III from ASUS website, but afraid to run it. Mind you, neither time did it OC my Memory, nor run it at stock speed [always lower] nor my GPU I will leave my rig info below in case something is NOT compatible with this software. Thank you Windows 7 Home Edition 64-Bit sp1 ASUS A88X-PRO MoBo AMD A10-6800k "Black Edition" 4.1Ghz - 4.4Ghz 'Boost' APU/CPU Enermax [after market] APU/CPU Cooler Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 16GB [2x8GB] 1866Mhz Memory AMD HD 7950 3072Memory GPU [no, I don't use the APU's GPU at all] Kingston 128GB SSD Hitachi 1TB HDD [used for storage] Storm Scout [Black] Case [plenty of cooling/space]
Hi JJ, great vid as always. I am going to build a Z87 system shortly. Mine will be watercooled with a 360 rad in the roof in a push/pull config. My question is if I use a six way fan splitter plugged directly into the CPU header on the motherboard will the 4 way optimization still work as it did in your tutorial. Also would you recommend the push/pull configuration to exhaust out or blow over the VRM/CPU on the board. Thank you.
I just bought a Z87-Plus to build an i7 4770k based system. All your videos have been greatly informational to help me make decissions. The pieces should be arriving through this week so I believe I should be building my system on weekend or soon next week. I know how to build it propperly, but I'd love to know, once I have the whole thing built up, how can I maximize it's potential? What tweaks should I do? Adjustments to the EUFI, settings, Overclock, etc... Can someone point me in the right direction with this? thanks in advance
Nice vid, regarding the CPU fans I have a Kraken X60 with 2 PWM fans that go into a splitter that only outputs 3pins. I have read some where that the CPU_FAN only supports PWM fans and the CPU_OPT is slaved to the CPU_FAN. So if I plug into CPU_FAN using the 3pin will the fans run at anything other than 100%. Have you had any experience with this cooler on the ASUS Z87 with regards to best way to connect the fans, I was thinking of getting the PRO or SABRETOOTH. Thanks
this is my first time building. I chose the z87 plus with an intel i5 processor. I do video editing with adobe premiere. I think i made a good choice. Your video on how to build it helped a lot! Should i add a video card for editing?
the video is perfect for me i was searching for a tutorial to overclock and this is just great because i was planing to get the asus z87-pro and the i5-4670k and i'm not really familiar with overclocking so thanks to asus for making it that easy!!
Does this take in to account AIO Liquid CPU Coolers? For instance, I have the Kraken x41 which is a 140mm Liquid CPU Cooler I have mounted to the rear.
Hi JJ, Thanks for another great video. I just bought a Z-87 Sabertooth and when I go into AI Suit 3 it looks different. Does this MoBo have the 4 Way Optimization as well?
i know this video is OLD!! but for those like me that dint know about a software like this my MB is the MAXIMUS X HERO and that MB offer a program called Dual Intelligent Processors 5. and it has an option called 5-Way Optimization that's the auto OC for CPU. i was a bit worried but after watching old video no one has put up a new updated video and reading old post also they all pretty much said it was safe to do. i manage to gather my courage and click the start button and i was BLOWN!! Away i managed to get a CPU OC of 37% all cores are at a massive 51 that equal to 5.1. super super easy to do and really good result i highly doubt any professional OC could do better than this results. am using (i7-8700k) fully custom water loop build and i haven't done a flush or a new thermal paste in a year. am going to do a flush soon and once i get the new liquid and the paste i will try that OC again and see if i can get all 5.2 or higher lets hope. oh also as a free tip today i also found out that MSI afterburner has an auto OC option for pascal GPU that was only for the RTX cards so yeah i also did that auto OC to my card i have a 1080TI.
Does this same procedure apply for Z97 motherboards? The 5-Way optimization feature for my motherboard (MAXIMUS VII Hero) is disabled (option is greyed out) for me but I am able to manually overclock. I am curious to see what the 5-Way optimization will get me when compared to my manual overclock.
Thanks, videos like these that explain more about your product really make making my choice easier. I'll be picking up a Maximus VI Hero and a i5 4670k
Great video! Thanks JJ! I just bought a z87-pro after seeing this video and the one with "How to Build a Z87 Computer from Start-to-Finish ft. ASUS Z87-PRO ". Do you know if a Noctua NH-D14 fits on a z87-pro and 4 kingston hyperx beast ram? If not I'd have to stick to the NH-U14S as presented in the video.
I'm looking at buying a Maximus VI Impact Z87 motherboard along with a i7-4770k and I want to know if the 4-way Optimization software will work the same as in the guide. I have very VERY basic knowledge of overclocking and this program would help alot instead of me trying to fiddle in the UEFI. Planning to cool it with a H100i and I know it's still a luck of the draw, but would be quite pleased if I can get a 4.5Ghz OC. Would like to know from Asus or someone who has this build and tried overclocking it by using this method. Thanks in advance and also amazing guide with amazing results from JJ
JJ is so genius with all that information in his head. At least, thats the picture we are getting. If I would start talking about something, I could talk for barely few minutes. That kind of thing continuous talking that JJ does needs education, practice and maybe talent.
So you hit 4.8, could you dial that back say to 4.6 if you wanted to be a bit more conservative etc? I'm thinking a heavy video edit/render session etc.....or is the 4.8 stable for hours on end based on the auto tune? Also is this AI Suite III available with the Z87-A board? Great video
JJ i need a quick answer because im building new computer right now will using this overclocking software void my cpu warranty? will slight overclocking decrease my cpu life ? and what about extreme oc ?? why you say it increase from 3.5 ghz when intel states that it has 3.9 with turbo boost technology ? can i use this utility with asus z87k/c/a mobos or i need to go higher to maximus hero ?? will the cpu stays at 4.8 ghz all the time or when i just need it ?? and how much power i need to increase for the psu ?? 50w increase for cpu oc enough ?? thanks so much for who will answer my questions i appreciate that a lot !! :)
My Asus x99-pro starts in Performance mode and I cannot find a way to change it to Auto. Performance mode is unstable on my PC and wastes a lot of power. I have to hurry and change it to "Auto" before it crashes. How can I change it to start it "Auto"? Can I just remove the application?
Hi JJ. I have a Z87-A. can i get 4 way optimisation or is my board to bad? My bios atm is 1605, will updating it affect the programs in any way, shape or form?
so i have a question i have just bought a asus z87 gryphon and i am trying to run the 4 way optimization, but every time i run it, Ai Suite 3 crashes giving me a "( aisuite3.exe assertion failed: cputuningmanager;;instance()->fasttune()!=null,file tuninginp.cpp, line 277" then the program terminates. any idea on what is causing this?
i have a i5-4690k and are planning on using this ai suite 3 software i downloaded it from my driver disk but it does only show autotuning and not all of these settings that were on tek syndicate's channel, how do i get to those settings? my mobo: asus z97-p
I know this is old but, did you use the TPU switch before using the software? I have used this for several years now but, have never used the TPU switch, it is off on my board and used TPU II in the software.
Do you have to touch any switches on the z87 motherboard before you overclock the system using Al Suite? Also, are the stress tests that this utility runs enough to ensure a stable system?
I just bought the z87 pro and I plan on using a corsair h100i cooler for the cpu. Will this affect the 4 way optimization in regards to the fan speed control or anything like that? I am new to over clocking and pc building.
awesome video can you do all of us a favor, and run this exact same overclock with AI suite but on a ROG motherboard specifically the maximus formula vi. Thanks, seems to be different in the ROG AI Suite. I cant imagine that this mid range board would have more settings than your more expensive ROG boards.
I dont understand, does this programm change the bios setting so i can uninstall this programm after the overclocking procces or do i have to keep it to use the overclocking changes made by this programm!?
I just got an AsusZ87 Sabertooth motherboard, does this software come with/ work with that board? I'm running an i5-4690K cpu with a corsair H50 liquid cooling unit.
Hi there, in bios there is a XMP mode for memory, do i have to set XMP profile after doing 4 way optimisation? or this process is already taken care of by AI suite?
Thanks for the video. Very informative! But does this auto-overclocking also work with Corsairs H100i Watercooler? Because of the Fan stuff. Furthermore is it wise to do that for a workstation computer. I'm not a gamer, I'll build a system for heavy 3D and video rendering so it has to run under heavy load for a very long time. Would be glad about an answer. Thanks :)
This thing auto overclocked without my position and has caused me to crash MANY TIMES. Thanks, Asus, for the damage you have probably caused to my CPU.
***** I purchased a ROG Impact VI in May, and realized that my AI Suite does not have the same options as your's does for the 4-Way Overclocking. I use the AI Suite 3 that came with my motherboard. Why is that? My processor is an Intel i5-4670k. The options it gives rather than (Ratio Only/BLCK First/etc) are just baseline frequency's of (4.2/4.4/4.6) GHz, and none of them are adaptive, they all use a manual voltage.
I got the maximus vi hero but the 4 way optimization looks diferent, for example I only can select 4,2. 4,4. Or 4,6 to overclock and they are fixed values I can not see what you show on this video that goes incrementally why?
I just bought the ASUS z87 Pro and I'm currently using a i5 4670k but I have to say that I was disappointed with the 4 way Optimization on the AI Suite III. I used it and got a 4.6 overclock result but after that my computer would just continue crashing until I had to manually reset the settings to default in the BIOS. The only use I have for the AI Suite III now is for the ability to control the fan in fan Xpert 2 but over than that, I'm now scared to click on the 4 way again. I just updated the BIOS to 1405 but I don't know if it will solve the crashing after 4 Way.
i do not have the same tpu choices that you have, only have three settings, 4.3 4.4 or 4.6 ghz. i use ai suite 3 that i recieved with my maximus vii impact, wy cant i choose extreme tuning? my computer emediatly reboots when i use the 4.2 ghz option and cant start properly until i reset clockspeed in the bios:S, any suggestions?
****** Running my rig with the Z87 Sabertooth and an Intel i5 4670K with a fresh copy of AI Suite3 installed. When I click to start 4 way optimization I get an error message that reads.. "Assertion failed:CpuTuningManager::Instance()->FAstTune() != NULL, file TuningImp.cpp, line 235" Followed by a second message that reads "Abnormal program termination" What on earth does that mean? I have reinstalled the entire suite twice with no change..
Everything looks great. But I have some questions. What about the temperatures? Your CPU might not be throttling, but if it sits constantly at 80-90 degrees under load, won't that degrade it faster over time? Another thing is (if I am not mistaking) you don't need fixed voltage for overclocking anyway. If your suite can get 4.8 at 1.27v, than there's nothing stopping you from achieving that with an offset voltage OC.
Can I use the over clicking feature even tho I am using liquid cooling (corsair h60) and I'm using the nzxt phantom 410 case fan speed controller on my case fans and the H60 on the motherboard CPU controllers. What do I have to do to make this all work correctly? I'm using the Asus max hero atx mb i54670k CPU 16 gab ddr3 corsair vengeance pro ram. Corsair h60 cpu cooling setup. I started my build last night I got as far as first post before I called it a night. Any help and tips would be awesome. If you anytime near Atlantic city I owe you a beer for these videos!
Is there a way to allow the automatic optimization to use voltages higher than 1.275 V? Say I would like it to go to 1.3 V. I have a z97-pro with 5-way optimization
Got a new 4770k and a z97 deluxe... It blue screens right from the get go... Paid so much for Asus, and it doesn't deliver on the advertising claim in my case... Any help?
Damned good tutorial. So happens I went with that very same Motherboard ( ASUS Z87-Pro ) and i7 4770k CPU. It was a big jump in performance out of the box over the i7 2600k I had in here on an ASUS P8Z68-Vpro Motherboard and that thing had a modest OC of 4.4Ghz. If you are running a second Gen Sandy Bridge or earlier processor, the move to a Haswell is worth it. Only use ASUS Motherboards as I have found them to be good solid boards.
Hey JJ. Just curious, did you ever tell us what the core temps were under stress at 1.275V and the 4.8GHz overclock? I wanted to compare to my 3770k with a 4.8GHz over clock at 1.315V.
If i have previously changed setting in the bios, voltage to 1.2 and sync all cores with multiplier of 40, will that effect running this software? or will all my setting be overridden and optimized as in this video? Awesome vid thanks
Not bad at all ! .. Can you tell me please what graphic card is that?... And by the way,.. ILet's supposed I have already watercooled the system (CPU), will it OC higher than 4.8GHz?.. I mean,.. The more is cold is the CPU than it will increase the frequency I mean, the frequency will climb up even over 4.8 GHz if it's colder than with air cooler !?... Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understand what I mean to say,.. :D Thanks for answering !
This was and still IS the reason i keep buying ASUS motherboards for every build i do. Such a great tool!
JJ great tuition on the air flow configuration, I followed other peoples advice of the "PUSH and PULL ", which they stated that the fans at the top is for exhaust, but that is not as effective as your way , where you used the top fans for intake, and just used the rear fan for exhaust. Ps I all ready done it your way before I saw this vid, but this just confirms our choice as to which is best. Looking forward on your next upload.
Thanks for this video! I was having some difficulty overclocking my i5 core 4670k. It was working fine for 40x but no higher. After rewatching this vid, I ran the auto tuning in AISuite 3 and discovered that 40x was the max for 4 cores on my particular CPU, but I could get 41x for 3 cores and 42x for 2 or 1 cores. It also set my memory even a little higher than I expected (1800 on an 1866 - I had only planned on 1600 for max stability). The really nice thing is that it accomplished this in only a minute or two. I stress tested for the last 24 hours and it works great and my max temp is about 53 Deg C for all cores with a Corsair H60. Thanks again for a very informative video!
Only manage 4.5GHz, but my side panel was on and I only have 4 out of 7 fans hooked up to the motherboard as apposed to the power supply, so the temperatures were higher than they actually are. Even so, for someone who hasn't ever touched overclocking before this was a piece of piss. Nice software, easy to use, and I managed to get a little extra bang for my buck. Will try and hit a higher value once I get some molex to 3-pin cables bought. Many thanks JJ! :D
Totally not related to the video but the way those two wires (power and video) go into the monitor and perfectly align with two lines on the desktop wallpaper makes me happy :D
This is fantastic information! Not only will this save me hours of time getting to a stable base OC before tweaking it further but it helps others who maybe aren't as proficient in OC'ing! Great feature, great product! Looking forward to installing my own this weekend!
Thank you very much! Well since all this may seem rudimentary to you guys, to me all even the "simple" over clocking feature i find complicated. You guys rock for having good support on here! Hopefully later on you guys will add a youtube tutorial on how to overclock.
Everyone watching this in full screen mode, just got a heart attack when the BSOD popped up lol.
Umm no AI Suite III doesn't have 4 way optimization. Very very irritating. I just got the ITX Deluxe version of the Z87 board with AI Suite III but no 4 way optimization to be found. What's the deal? Was there a mistake or something? Very irritating.
I see I'm not the only one that has run into this. Your video talks about how great the auto overclocking software is with the 4 way optimization so I bought both the Z87i-Deluxe and the Impact but neither have the auto overclocking software. Do you plan to come out with a fix to solve that. Many of us don't have the time to waste dinking around trying to find the perfect overclock. We just want it 95% as fast as possible and with full stability. So the software on the Z87-Pro board is awesome as it does that very thing and takes the system through a full thourough overclock. I guess I'll just have to go back to the Pro board or perhaps try the ASRock board and see if that one auto overclocks. I just like getting the max performance my system is capable of without having to dink around with the frustrations of overclocking manually. Does anyone know if the ASRock ITX board will auto overclock the system like the Z87-Pro board does?
Dell Schanze well I have a Z87-Pro motherboard and I don't have 4 way optimization, very irritating indeed:/
Snail You have to download it from the website. I ended up buying a Z87-Pro but again it isn't the same as it once was. Not sure what is going on. It used to clock up the multiplier and then go through blk and give you a complete solid over clock. Now it just goes through one or the other but not both. I did figure out that you can download the Ai3 from the Z87-Pro and use it on the Deluxe board though. That got me from 4300 up to 4500 so at least that is cool. I sent back my Impact board though and got a Gigabyte N. The Gigabyte clocked right to 4900Mhz!! It's not stable though. lol. It also won't stay there. Every time you reboot you are right back to 4300MHz with the Gigabyte board. Ug! Very strange. I bought a Z87-Pro for a friend about 7 months ago and it clocked him right up to 4700MHz and even did the blk after the multiplier OC. Worked perfect right out of the box. I now have another Z87-Pro and it also clocked to 4700MHz but doesn't do any blk on top of that. Not bad though. Works good.
Yes I consent Asus boards are the best. I think that is truthful. The frustration is that all boards with the "4-way optimization" do not actually optimize your setup the same as others. The ROG board didn't do it at all as it only had preset overclocks. The deluxe ITX board only does the multiplier OR blk but not both. It has been really frustrating. I now have the X79 Deluxe board and that one did actually do multiplier and then blk so I can openly recommend that board no problem. It works really nice when it does what I expected it to do. Still what about the ITX deluxe board? It does multiplier overclock but then stops? Is there an update? I'll get the latest and try it again just to check. So far it doesn't seem to really do the whole job I would expect from a real deluxe board like the new X79 deluxe.
Now another thing that is frustrating me is in looking for an ITX Z87 board I got the Gigabyte board. It clocked immediately to 4800mhz. It isn't stable though so it gets a flunk for its auto overclock feature. What is really nice though is that the Gigabyte board boots in like 7 seconds which is at least half the time that ALL my Asus boards take. I've gone into bios and set every feature I can find but they still take quite a long time to boot where the Gigabyte board is super duper fast. Of course I'm only getting 4300mhz out of my Gigabyte board so kudo's to the Asus board as I get a bit more speed with stability out of it.
It would just be nice to be able to have a real and true auto over clock that runs it through all the options and then brings the voltage down absolutely as low as is stable and does it all automatically. Perhaps you need to standardize the feature set so someone who has a Z87-Pro for example doesn't have a different experience with the Z87-ITX deluxe.
Ah very interesting information thank you. Another question would be how well is it automatically bringing the voltage down as low as possible in an auto overclock? I found the auto overclock set the voltage at 1.475 for example but on my own I could put it at 1.36 and still have it work the same. How does the automatic overclock deal with where the voltage is set?
Great video very informative. This can help people like myself who are just starting to get into the overclocking world!
It does work ! I have H100i and it did auto-overclock to 4.7!!! It tuned other fans and H100i auto tunes it self based on CPU temperature, but you can tune it from CorsairLink2 software
Thanks for asking, Jim. Not from JJ (sadly), but from one of RoG's forum moderators (HiVizMan). Here's what he said:
"Sadly not. The TUF series is a motherboard range which is more about stability and rock solid reliability. TUF have for example the best fan control out of all boards. It is hardware dependant."
Almost all of us know that TuF is aimed more towards reliability, and even though my Sabertooth Z87 now handles 4.5Ghz (manually OC'd), I find it strange that such tool isn't available.
Here is a good question for you :) Will the ai suite for z170 work on z97? im asking because asus is forgetting to update their software page !
you guys are doing great work! just looked into a lot of your videos love the GUIDES keep them up im gonna buy a system like this! =)
I am in the middle of preparing for my first build. I have done some things right (like selecting a z87-a board!) but I bought the i7-4770 (not the i7-4770k), since overclocking seemed like a "bridge too far". Your videos are making me reconsider.
I want to use it for CS5 Photoshop and Illustrator, including some 3-d rendering, plus the regular stuff (e-mail, web surfing, word processing). I might, at some point in the future, want to edit video.
I have 16 GB of RAM, but have been told that for my needs now a video card is overkill. I am running a 1TB HD and a 120kb SSD.
1) Do I run the 4-stage optimization even though my chip doesn't overclock?
2) Should I exchange the chip for the K version (box is unopened)? What do you recommend as a CPU cooling unit? Or is this a waste for my needs?
3) Is there a video available that tells me what to do next once my system is all wired up. It seems pretty straightforward just putting it together...but then it seems like a big black void. I am absolutely clueless as to how to get it running, etc.
4) what am I missing? I am sure there are questions you could answer that I don't even know to ask yet....
Is this even the right place to be asking these things? Should I contact you some other way? You said write in...and I will have lots more questions as I haul myself up a pretty steep learning curve!

Hey JJ, would there be a chance of you doing an overview of overclocking by hand? I know it varies from platform to platform and processor to processor, but for us ROG enthusiasts, taking the time to generally explain what voltages apply to what circumstances or help in what situations, and so on and so forth? But I do appreciate the intricacies of this 4 Way Opt. program ASUS created. Glad to see one company be consumer based rather than money based. Thanks for any time read or took responding!
I had never tried overclocking before, and after lots of trial and error doing it manually, I decided to give the auto-tuning a try. It worked wonders. I have an i5-4670k, Asus Z87-A, and Hyper 212 EVO. The extreme tuning hooked my system up! 4.7Ghz on 1&2 cores, 4.6Ghz on 3&4 cores at only 1.275v!! That is a very aggressive overclock. I never would have imagined getting such a strong overclock, and I owe it all to Asus. A lot of it is the silicon lottery, but I never would have attempted to push my system this hard. The software they use for the auto-overclock is top notch, and best of all, safe. It limits your voltage to a maximum of 1.275, anything at or below 1.3v is considered safe.
A lot of the people who are experiencing bad results are making some silly mistakes. Either they don't have their BIOS fully updated, or they don't have an after market CPU cooler. Of course your results are going to be bad without the most current software! Don't even try to overclock on the stock Intel cooler, you are just asking for trouble.
Even if your Asus motherboard doesn't have 4-way optimization, you can still Extreme Auto-Tune your system. Go into AI Suite III, select the TurboEVO/TPU header, then auto-tuning, finally select the extreme auto tune. Viola! You don't need to have 4-way optimization to get an extreme auto tune.
Excellent Video JJ! Lots of great information. I'm just having one issue with the 4-way optimization I'm hoping you can help me with. Unlike your video when the program reaches the TPU check it runs a Full Core Scan repeatedly without ever increasing or incrementing its MHz. It runs the test bar to 100% over and over while staying at 2880 MHz, 000% and 36 across all four cores. I let it run for just under 45 minutes before closing the software and restarting my PC. After booting back up the software continued its process with the EPU. Ever since I ran this optimization my machine has been running an average of 5c hotter then usual. Without increasig the MHz I don't think my system will ever get to the overclock threshold where my machine will shut itself off thereby never making it to the next leg of the test. I'm worried that the information it captured is incorrect and won't optimize the performance of my machine. Any information you can provide will be of great help! Thanks in advance. Anyway to get it to properly run the test or undo any changes it's made to my machine? The specs for my machine are included below:
Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core
ASUS Z87-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z87
CORSAIR Hydro Series H90 High Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler

Great video, and good looking suite with plenty of good features. Personally going to purchase the pro motherboard but I do have one question though, I might have missed it, but just in case.
Does it have the ability to let's say disable hyper-threading and let's say two cores for a i7 4770k in order to achieve just a little bit higher clock speed for specific programs that don't benefit from more cores?
I got your OC to work! I reinstalled BIOS v1205 fresh, and then followed your guide. I think that the problem was that previously I took the UEFI "optimized defaults" as my starting point.
i used this on an i5 4570 (none k series and it took it past tast the max boost cap of 3.6ghz to 3.8! free performance!!
I am in planning mode for a new build for photo editing (Lightroom 5) and have returned to asus pro motherboard from the MSI Mpower largely because of this software but a few other issues too.
I commend JJ for his excellent speaking style. It is a pleasure to listen to him . . . but he has two mannerisms that detract slightly. If he could eliminate the "going ahead and" and the "OK guys" his presentations would flow just a little better. Other than that I aspire to speaking as well as he does.
I have a corsair h110i GT watercooler on my CPU, how can I use the 4-way optimization with this in mind?
Do I need to do any specific settings?
JJ, I have been looking for info on the ASUS Ai Suite III, and if it will work with my ASUS A88X-PRO MoBo, and if so, is there anything I need to do in preparation 'before' I run the software? I have been having issues whether installing it, or running it.
On my 'first' download and run of Ai Suite III it OC'd my APU/CPU [AMD A10-6800k 4.1Ghz - 4.4Ghz 'Boost'] to 5.8Ghz and was 'still' OC'ing it to the point I got scared my comp was gonna blow up, so I stopped it.
Second re-install and run, I got to 4.3Ghz, and it stopped on it's own.
Lastly, I just did a 'full' re-install of Windows 7, downloaded Ai Suite III from ASUS website, but afraid to run it.
Mind you, neither time did it OC my Memory, nor run it at stock speed [always lower] nor my GPU
I will leave my rig info below in case something is NOT compatible with this software.
Thank you

Hi JJ, great vid as always. I am going to build a Z87 system shortly. Mine will be watercooled with a 360 rad in the roof in a push/pull config. My question is if I use a six way fan splitter plugged directly into the CPU header on the motherboard will the 4 way optimization still work as it did in your tutorial. Also would you recommend the push/pull configuration to exhaust out or blow over the VRM/CPU on the board. Thank you.
nice video JJ, very informative. love the new 4-Way Optimization tool software.
I just bought a Z87-Plus to build an i7 4770k based system. All your videos have been greatly informational to help me make decissions. The pieces should be arriving through this week so I believe I should be building my system on weekend or soon next week. I know how to build it propperly, but I'd love to know, once I have the whole thing built up, how can I maximize it's potential? What tweaks should I do? Adjustments to the EUFI, settings, Overclock, etc... Can someone point me in the right direction with this? thanks in advance
JJ u are very helpful from ASUS platform on UTube. Gr8 job mate
Nice vid, regarding the CPU fans I have a Kraken X60 with 2 PWM fans that go into a splitter that only outputs 3pins.
I have read some where that the CPU_FAN only supports PWM fans and the CPU_OPT is slaved to the CPU_FAN.
So if I plug into CPU_FAN using the 3pin will the fans run at anything other than 100%.
Have you had any experience with this cooler on the ASUS Z87 with regards to best way to connect the fans, I was thinking of getting the PRO or SABRETOOTH. Thanks
JJ such a great video. Thanks. So do you think you can get the same results using The Noctua 120mm fan with ROG Maximux VI Extreme?
this is my first time building. I chose the z87 plus with an intel i5 processor. I do video editing with adobe premiere. I think i made a good choice. Your video on how to build it helped a lot! Should i add a video card for editing?
This is like the best thing since sliced bread. Any plans of implementation in your X79 series of boards? Any new boards coming for IvyBridge-E?
the video is perfect for me i was searching for a tutorial to overclock and this is just great because i was planing to get the asus z87-pro and the i5-4670k and i'm not really familiar with overclocking so thanks to asus for making it that easy!!
Does this take in to account AIO Liquid CPU Coolers? For instance, I have the Kraken x41 which is a 140mm Liquid CPU Cooler I have mounted to the rear.
Hi JJ, Thanks for another great video. I just bought a Z-87 Sabertooth and when I go into AI Suit 3 it looks different. Does this MoBo have the 4 Way Optimization as well?
i know this video is OLD!! but for those like me that dint know about a software like this my MB is the MAXIMUS X HERO and that MB offer a program called Dual Intelligent Processors 5. and it has an option called 5-Way Optimization that's the auto OC for CPU. i was a bit worried but after watching old video no one has put up a new updated video and reading old post also they all pretty much said it was safe to do. i manage to gather my courage and click the start button and i was BLOWN!! Away i managed to get a CPU OC of 37% all cores are at a massive 51 that equal to 5.1. super super easy to do and really good result i highly doubt any professional OC could do better than this results. am using (i7-8700k) fully custom water loop build and i haven't done a flush or a new thermal paste in a year. am going to do a flush soon and once i get the new liquid and the paste i will try that OC again and see if i can get all 5.2 or higher lets hope. oh also as a free tip today i also found out that MSI afterburner has an auto OC option for pascal GPU that was only for the RTX cards so yeah i also did that auto OC to my card i have a 1080TI.
Does this same procedure apply for Z97 motherboards? The 5-Way optimization feature for my motherboard (MAXIMUS VII Hero) is disabled (option is greyed out) for me but I am able to manually overclock. I am curious to see what the 5-Way optimization will get me when compared to my manual overclock.
It will get you a higher voltage and an overclock that is only applied whenever the software is loaded.
Dont bother :D
Thanks, videos like these that explain more about your product really make making my choice easier. I'll be picking up a Maximus VI Hero and a i5 4670k
Great video! Thanks JJ! I just bought a z87-pro after seeing this video and the one with "How to Build a Z87 Computer from Start-to-Finish ft. ASUS Z87-PRO ". Do you know if a Noctua NH-D14 fits on a z87-pro and 4 kingston hyperx beast ram? If not I'd have to stick to the NH-U14S as presented in the video.
Thanks for the response. At this point I'm pretty satisfied having set my CPU level to 4.6 GHz. Runs great!
How do I undo the 4 way optimizacion if I want to set it back to stock clocks?
@@ScoobyIsMe From the BIOS set everything to default!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you a lot
love how this guy knows what he's talking about. keep it up
I'm looking at buying a Maximus VI Impact Z87 motherboard along with a i7-4770k and I want to know if the 4-way Optimization software will work the same as in the guide.
I have very VERY basic knowledge of overclocking and this program would help alot instead of me trying to fiddle in the UEFI.
Planning to cool it with a H100i and I know it's still a luck of the draw, but would be quite pleased if I can get a 4.5Ghz OC.
Would like to know from Asus or someone who has this build and tried overclocking it by using this method.
Thanks in advance and also amazing guide with amazing results from JJ
JJ is so genius with all that information in his head. At least, thats the picture we are getting. If I would start talking about something, I could talk for barely few minutes. That kind of thing continuous talking that JJ does needs education, practice and maybe talent.
So you hit 4.8, could you dial that back say to 4.6 if you wanted to be a bit more conservative etc? I'm thinking a heavy video edit/render session etc.....or is the 4.8 stable for hours on end based on the auto tune? Also is this AI Suite III available with the Z87-A board? Great video
JJ i need a quick answer because im building new computer right now
will using this overclocking software void my cpu warranty?
will slight overclocking decrease my cpu life ? and what about extreme oc ??
why you say it increase from 3.5 ghz when intel states that it has 3.9 with turbo boost technology ?
can i use this utility with asus z87k/c/a mobos or i need to go higher to maximus hero ??
will the cpu stays at 4.8 ghz all the time or when i just need it ?? and how much power i need to increase for the psu ?? 50w increase for cpu oc enough ??
thanks so much for who will answer my questions i appreciate that a lot !! :)
my z87-a came with AI Suite III, but there's no 4-way optimization anywhere....what's this about??
My Asus x99-pro starts in Performance mode and I cannot find a way to change it to Auto. Performance mode is unstable on my PC and wastes a lot of power. I have to hurry and change it to "Auto" before it crashes. How can I change it to start it "Auto"? Can I just remove the application?
Hi JJ. I have a Z87-A. can i get 4 way optimisation or is my board to bad? My bios atm is 1605, will updating it affect the programs in any way, shape or form?
This tool looks awesome, i can't wait for a customer to buy a high rig to have the time to toy with it.
so i have a question i have just bought a asus z87 gryphon and i am trying to run the 4 way optimization, but every time i run it, Ai Suite 3 crashes giving me a "( aisuite3.exe assertion failed: cputuningmanager;;instance()->fasttune()!=null,file tuninginp.cpp, line 277" then the program terminates. any idea on what is causing this?
i have a i5-4690k and are planning on using this ai suite 3 software i downloaded it from my driver disk but it does only show autotuning and not all of these settings that were on tek syndicate's channel, how do i get to those settings?
my mobo: asus z97-p
I know this is old but, did you use the TPU switch before using the software? I have used this for several years now but, have never used the TPU switch, it is off on my board and used TPU II in the software.
Great Video...
Will this work with the Maximius vi Hero and Corsair H100i and which fan connector would you suggest i connect the pump too?
can you provide a link to Newegg for the cpu fan cooler by Noctua? Hard to figure out what fits and what dont
Do you have to touch any switches on the z87 motherboard before you overclock the system using Al Suite? Also, are the stress tests that this utility runs enough to ensure a stable system?
Very cool! Is there or will there be anything like this available for the Z77 platform? I'm utilizing the Sabertooth Z77.
I just bought the z87 pro and I plan on using a corsair h100i cooler for the cpu. Will this affect the 4 way optimization in regards to the fan speed control or anything like that? I am new to over clocking and pc building.
Thanks JJ life is easier now. Great Job!
Thanks for the reply. There was an update for the suite III software on the Asus site I installed that fixed the problem.
awesome video can you do all of us a favor, and run this exact same overclock with AI suite but on a ROG motherboard specifically the maximus formula vi. Thanks, seems to be different in the ROG AI Suite. I cant imagine that this mid range board would have more settings than your more expensive ROG boards.
Asus when will this feature or program be available for the Rampage IV Extreme?
I dont understand, does this programm change the bios setting so i can uninstall this programm after the overclocking procces or do i have to keep it to use the overclocking changes made by this programm!?
ColdLight answers?
keep it
It makes changes to the BIOS yes, that's the only way!
Just set everything to default settings in the BIOS.
I just got an AsusZ87 Sabertooth motherboard, does this software come with/ work with that board? I'm running an i5-4690K cpu with a corsair H50 liquid cooling unit.
Hi there, in bios there is a XMP mode for memory, do i have to set XMP profile after doing 4 way optimisation? or this process is already taken care of by AI suite?
JJ any news on 4 way opt. on the Rog boards yet. I have the Maximus VI Formula and would love to test it in auto tune,
Dear.... How to connect from begin to be overclocking on the screen of the 4-way Optimization on ASUS Z87? Please advice!
you are the most interesting man. love your vids.
Thanks for the video. Very informative! But does this auto-overclocking also work with Corsairs H100i Watercooler? Because of the Fan stuff. Furthermore is it wise to do that for a workstation computer. I'm not a gamer, I'll build a system for heavy 3D and video rendering so it has to run under heavy load for a very long time. Would be glad about an answer. Thanks :)
This thing auto overclocked without my position and has caused me to crash MANY TIMES. Thanks, Asus, for the damage you have probably caused to my CPU.
***** I purchased a ROG Impact VI in May, and realized that my AI Suite does not have the same options as your's does for the 4-Way Overclocking. I use the AI Suite 3 that came with my motherboard. Why is that? My processor is an Intel i5-4670k. The options it gives rather than (Ratio Only/BLCK First/etc) are just baseline frequency's of (4.2/4.4/4.6) GHz, and none of them are adaptive, they all use a manual voltage.
No need to manually overclock anymore, this is great!
This video is misleading. The "extreme" option is only for certain boards, I got caught for it.
I got the maximus vi hero but the 4 way optimization looks diferent, for example I only can select 4,2. 4,4. Or 4,6 to overclock and they are fixed values I can not see what you show on this video that goes incrementally why?
I just bought the ASUS z87 Pro and I'm currently using a i5 4670k but I have to say that I was disappointed with the 4 way Optimization on the AI Suite III. I used it and got a 4.6 overclock result but after that my computer would just continue crashing until I had to manually reset the settings to default in the BIOS. The only use I have for the AI Suite III now is for the ability to control the fan in fan Xpert 2 but over than that, I'm now scared to click on the 4 way again. I just updated the BIOS to 1405 but I don't know if it will solve the crashing after 4 Way.
Was this later changed? AI Suite3 doesn't show me Fast Tuning and Extreme Tuning but to go to 4.2/4.4/4.6 Ghz.
i do not have the same tpu choices that you have, only have three settings, 4.3 4.4 or 4.6 ghz. i use ai suite 3 that i recieved with my maximus vii impact, wy cant i choose extreme tuning? my computer emediatly reboots when i use the 4.2 ghz option and cant start properly until i reset clockspeed in the bios:S, any suggestions?
****** Running my rig with the Z87 Sabertooth and an Intel i5 4670K with a fresh copy of AI Suite3 installed. When I click to start 4 way optimization I get an error message that reads..
"Assertion failed:CpuTuningManager::Instance()->FAstTune() != NULL, file TuningImp.cpp, line 235"
Followed by a second message that reads "Abnormal program termination"
What on earth does that mean? I have reinstalled the entire suite twice with no change..
With prefilled water cooling such as the Corsair H75, would the pumps speed change,since it is powered from a fan header???
Everything looks great. But I have some questions. What about the temperatures? Your CPU might not be throttling, but if it sits constantly at 80-90 degrees under load, won't that degrade it faster over time? Another thing is (if I am not mistaking) you don't need fixed voltage for overclocking anyway. If your suite can get 4.8 at 1.27v, than there's nothing stopping you from achieving that with an offset voltage OC.
Can I use the over clicking feature even tho I am using liquid cooling (corsair h60) and I'm using the nzxt phantom 410 case fan speed controller on my case fans and the H60 on the motherboard CPU controllers. What do I have to do to make this all work correctly? I'm using the Asus max hero atx mb i54670k CPU 16 gab ddr3 corsair vengeance pro ram. Corsair h60 cpu cooling setup. I started my build last night I got as far as first post before I called it a night. Any help and tips would be awesome. If you anytime near Atlantic city I owe you a beer for these videos!
Is this feature also available in ASUS Maximus VI Hero motherboard? I'm getting that one tomorrow.
Is there a way to allow the automatic optimization to use voltages higher than 1.275 V? Say I would like it to go to 1.3 V. I have a z97-pro with 5-way optimization
and how to make it default back to normal clock speed if I don't want my CPU overclocked?
Go to BIOS and set EVERYTHING to DEFAULT settings.
Got a new 4770k and a z97 deluxe... It blue screens right from the get go... Paid so much for Asus, and it doesn't deliver on the advertising claim in my case... Any help?
no problem.. any news when Maximus Impact will be released? :D
Damned good tutorial. So happens I went with that very same Motherboard ( ASUS Z87-Pro ) and i7 4770k CPU. It was a big jump in performance out of the box over the i7 2600k I had in here on an ASUS P8Z68-Vpro Motherboard and that thing had a modest OC of 4.4Ghz. If you are running a second Gen Sandy Bridge or earlier processor, the move to a Haswell is worth it. Only use ASUS Motherboards as I have found them to be good solid boards.
Hello, I have i5-4690k + asus z97c + zalman cnps14x, can I overclock my cpu just set sync all core to x48 and cpu voltage to 1.35v?
Could you tell me what boards have it please? first Haswell build so am clueless haha Thanks for your help man really appreciate it :)
what is the name of that cpu cooler
noctua nh u14s
I don't have the TPU option, the other options i have are 4.2, 4.4 & 4.6... Why don't i have what the video has...
JJ i saw the video on TOT with the 5 way opt. and why does it seem that the software OCs to 4.8 all the time?
Hey JJ. Just curious, did you ever tell us what the core temps were under stress at 1.275V and the 4.8GHz overclock? I wanted to compare to my 3770k with a 4.8GHz over clock at 1.315V.
If i have previously changed setting in the bios, voltage to 1.2 and sync all cores with multiplier of 40, will that effect running this software? or will all my setting be overridden and optimized as in this video?
Awesome vid thanks
I have a question I just got the 970 pro/gamer and I don't see any videos on ai suite3 for amd systems and links?
Not bad at all ! .. Can you tell me please what graphic card is that?... And by the way,.. ILet's supposed I have already watercooled the system (CPU), will it OC higher than 4.8GHz?.. I mean,.. The more is cold is the CPU than it will increase the frequency I mean, the frequency will climb up even over 4.8 GHz if it's colder than with air cooler !?... Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understand what I mean to say,.. :D
Thanks for answering !
Why was the clock speed jumping around so much when you were essentially idle?... Also, what's up with the gold desktop backgrounds? lol
I played with suite and got lost, I have uninstalled it, so chip goes back to Normal, now I. Ready to reinstall? Is that ok?
Hey would this program work for asus rampage iv black flag edition with a i7 4960x, corsair hydro h110 radiator? "system setup"
