September of 2019 and still on my 5820K
Me too. Great cpu. Got mine 4 years ago with an alienware system.
Me too, but I want to upgrade the ram and the cheapest option in 16gb sticks.
Looks like I will need a full ram upgrade.
Same! 32gb of ram and a 1080ti no complaints!
5930k seems to be doing fine, haven't even overclocked it yet.
Same. Haven't overlocked it either.
Still running a 5820k at 4.5ghz.. still no bottle neck with a 3090 aorus at 1440p.. this processor is a beast even 6 years later
same on a 3070 ti, 4.5 ghz as well. No bottleneck from what I can tell either.
full of dog shit a year later LOL i have a 3080 ti with a 5820k OC'ed and its still being bottlenecked
There is a bottleneck in that configuration, I have now exacly the same setup (even 4.5Ghz) on uwqhd (3440x1440) and this cpu is bottleneck
@@dRRAMA yeah mines is oc'ed to 4.2 GHz and my 3080ti is averaging around 75% to 90 at 4k and the fps tanks like crazy
All the fake experts in the comments, he never said his game and settings ya morons.
Just because you bottleneck running low settings in csgo doesnt mean he does.
Its not as simple and Xcpu+Ygpu= %bottleneck.
He could be running ultra settings with ray tracing in cp2077 in which case he's probably getting 60fps which the 5820k is more than capable of. Or maybe its FS2022.
It’s 2020 and 5820k still running awesome, but I want to overclock it to see the full potential 🔥
I just overclocked top 4.5 and it has been great so far
4.2-4.3 without touching the voltages
i have my 5820K for 6 years now, running on 4.4 GHz, still great and never had the need to go higher, just love it :)
It's a great CPU!
Thanks for this Linus. I'm in the process on OCing my new 5930K and this video helped a lot :)
ante kai kala 5ghz eyxomai
Hey man im a big fan ! Keep it up!! Im even learning some greek from your videos xD ! Greetings from Bulgaria :)
Victor Rumenov
GRamers
He wasn't talking you lol you don't even have videos.
3060ti running with a stock 5820k and it handles every modern game beautifully. Definitely starting to struggle a tad when it comes to rendering but considering I can finally OC and I bought it damn near 7 years ago the thing has exceeded all expectations.
Linus, sometimes on my way home from work and while I'm terribly tired, I simply listen to your videos without actually getting the whole picture. It's just so tech galore
Just something for others with the ASUS RE5 and 5820k to try out...
I have the following settings:
1 and 2 active core multipliers set to 47
3 and 4 active core multipliers set to 46
5 and 6 active core multipliers set to 44
with the core voltage set to 1.295
The reasoning behind this is that most programs that benefit more from higher clock speeds (such as games) typically only use one or two cores. Other programs such as compression or encoding tools benefit more from number of cores and hypertheading than it does higher clock speeds (obviously more clock speed is always good to have).
Using the settings above, the 5820k will give you a blistering fast 4.7GHz when you need it, or all six cores running at 4.4GHz -- which is 800MHz faster than the stock Turbo Boost speeds.
Overall, a great way to get excellent speeds without compromising the system with high voltages and temps. I do have a custom water loop; if you're on air or running an AIO you may/may not hit the same speeds, but the same theory still applies.
Hope that helps someone out there.
Thanks for all the great videos Linus!
trying this out now, thanks
@@puresolus Did it work out okay for you?
@@andrewrout8712 tested it at 1.28 volts and it worked well
i went back to 4.5ghz @1.23 though since it works well with my chip while i have a hyper 212 evo
@@puresolus Yeah I would have done the same. Frankly I'm losing interest in OC'ing the CPU, you never feel the difference anyway. GPUs are still worth it to me though, since I can still get an extra 10-15 fps
Andrew Rout is a cpu OC worth it when playing something cpu reliant like ArmA 3?
November 2020 and still on my 5820k. Overclocked to a safe and stable 4.2Ghz at 1.2v yesterday. Great chip.
...still waiting for part 3 of the mineral oil rig and the video on the water cooled room.
same as mate talked alot about it but yet to see much of it
One of your best videos. No screeching, no childish bullshit / innuendo etc. Good solid information in the plenty. Please make more videos like this!
Thank you Lunus, my Rampage V Extreme and 5930K was waiting for this OC guide.
2021 and 5820k still running strong @ 4.5ghz, doing VR
edit: got it to 4.7 stable for when performing video rendering, otherwise for gaming i lower it back to less heat intensive voltage consumig clocks.
what cooler do you use? I never overclocked my 5820k and now that we have a shortage of chips globally i am even more worry to overclick it
@@v44n7 the corsair h110i, not sure of normal or gt or gtx, since it s going on 7 years of use next year. probably will have to change it soon, but i totally recomend aio watercooled coolers, with at least 2x140mm fans.
edit: next i'm planning to add another 2x140mm fans to the h110i's 280mm rad for a push pull configuration.
lol im still using a 5820k in 2018 and i have no problems still
Iv got one and it bigger brother the 5930k
Iv got one and it bigger brother the 5930k
Same, expect for the motherboard (msi x99sli plus that failed with memory and i cant use all slots) i never regret building x99 system with this beastly cpu.
@@synchromatik I'm having the same problem with mine now
@@ViktorT2 you using corsair lpx memory type?
Great guide Linus. Followed instructions for my 5820K and arrived at 4.5GHz @ 1.28v which I'm pretty happy with. Got this with the H100i GTX and AsRock X99M 3.1 Killer mobo.
Just started OCing my system from 2015 built (and never overclocked), after figuring some stuff out on my own, this confirmed what I learned and told me I was in a good spot. Thanks for the affirmation that my RAM didn't matter as much and my CPU setting was about spot-on! Now for my GTX980... ha.
I've been watching your videos forever and I just have to ask...why do you guys use a kitchen as a background?
Lack of space elsewhere :}
LinusTechTips Oh haha! At first I think it was green screened in, but the mineral oil video gave it away. I'm guessing you guys will have a new backdrop once you move to your new office!
I laughed after reading this. I never noticed that they were using a kitchen as a background.
So what does setting the cpu ratio limit to 36 have to do with the 125 mzh cpu strap?? Does it emulate a 125 multiplier that happens when you turn xmp on ?
100 x 45 = 4500
125 x 36 = 4500
Why am I watching this? I will never have x99 :(
me too :'(
ha ha u mean u wont unless u really need it lol but one can dream
Because Linus.
Because tech.
Because these videos are good.
maybe you'll get it 4 years from now. i got my x58 build 2 years ago lol
I'll sell you my X58 comp I just replaced with X99 if you like!
I don't know what it is, but this videos are not only informative, they are fun to watch! The editing of the videos and the way Linus says/does stuff just kills it. Prime example is 1:19. "We just have to have the SPEED". Awesome job man to you and your team. Keep up the good work! Sub'd!
2 bad my rampage v extremes nice wifi adaptor causes a static noise in my sound probably because it's right next to the PCIe 4x lane where my soundblaster Z is fitted.
The rampage V extreme has a lot of bugs that still have to be fixed. I also have problems getting trough my windows boot screen. Since the last bios that I flashed on there yesterday it's fixed (fingers crossed).
i7 5280K 2019?
Zeljko Yakuza yup
I've still got mine late 2020
Still now
Still have mine 2024. Finally upgrading to the 7800x3d
I remember that time I overclocked my Pentium 1 from 200Mhz to a whopping 233Mhz. Such a beast!
Thanks Linus! I got my 5820k running at 4.5ghz and staying under well under 70C running the ROG RealBench Stress Test with a top end tower cooler. I also got my Corsair Dominator Platinum clocked in at 3200mhz, amazing. The highest stable speeds I could get before this guide were 3.9ghz for the CPU, and 2666mhz for the RAM.
Aug 2020 & still using the 5820k stock speed... Runs everything fine on 3 x 1920x1200 24" screens...maybe OC a bit when I plug in the 3080ti.
Great How-To Linus... like he's reading these old comments...
You are awesome dude! I never thought i could run my i7 5820k STABLE on 4.5 Ghz 1.2V and less than 70*C.. thats an insane boost and im perfectly happy with the results :> I guess the more expensive CPU cooler was worth it. Gosh i love my new rig xD Yep its new and i overclocked it already. I assembled it well... 3 Hours ago? :D
what Cooler do you use?
My cooler is the BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3. But my room is cold so it works out pretty well.
+PhantomSoul wow. That's an air cooler. Nice stats you got there. I managed to get 1.25v for 4.4ghz with 75deg max. Gotta try if 1.2 will be stable.
I couldnt ask for more. But the temps are that low cause my room is in the basement and its like 13°C in here. ^^ Thats way below room temperature.
I got 4.4GHz at 1.18v but can't get stable 4.5 even at 1.25v
9:52 In the first second I thought that my pc has crashed! :P
Just bought a 5820k setup. Great video to follow along with! Thanks!
Thanks a lot for this guide Linus! I just got done putting together my system using the Asus ROG Rampage V and the i7 5930K and decided to try to OC my cpu for the first time. You were very clear and thorough. Thanks to your guide I was able to bring this already awesome cpu from 3.5GHz to a stable 4.2GHz. This thing runs lightning fast :D
Anyone here from WAN Show? When Linus said he filmed this at 30fps and upscaled to 60fps to see what people would say? Yep. Lel.
:)) im here for that...the difference is obvious, this is not 60fps, but i think 30fps looks better for this kind of content, 60 fps looks cool but weird
Tld has videos in 60fps, and it is obvious..you can clearly see the difference but i wouldnt say it looks better necessarily
While I love ASUS motherboards, I just wish they came in more colors than just Black/Red :/ It's nearly impossible to do a Black/Blue build these days
And yes, i know that appearance doesn't matter but I like to show off my internals especially if i do a custom watercooling loop
From what I've read and seen the ASRock mobos don't seem too bad and they come with a black/blue look!
***** this is a very true statement!
You can always get a all black mobo and plastidip other components, i have done it numerous times that way i can stick with my prefered manufacturer.
What? Their whole M5A series is black/blue. I know it´s not high-end and AMD but... Black and Blue :)
Well Gigabyte, MSI, and even EVGA are just as good as ASUS mobos, so you can use any of those 3 other brands for your colour mix.
@ 01:27 Northwood P4 2.4C! You bring back memories. On Canterwood i875P, my trusty gamer / workhorse, ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe and "built by" ATI Radeon 9800-XT 8X Pro and TV-Wonder. DDR-667 @ 2.5-3-3-5. Those were the days of modern overclocking. 3.2Gb on air with copper.
I've got this same board but with a 5930K and Kingston Predator 3000 ram and I've got it stable running at those settings. I don't want to push it any further because I don't have my full liquid cooling setup running yet but I think I can push it further! Thanks Linus from your biggest fan is Regina
Linus for god's sake, use ArmA to benchmark CPU stuff. It's the one game out there that gives a fuck about your CPU and no one EVER uses it for gorramn CPU benchmarks. Seriously, you see more people benchmarking it for GPUs (a 750ti can play the game at ultra settings and get around 50+ fps) than for CPUs.
The game can run better on a Pentium G3220 than an i7 5960x. No, I wouldn't say it's a good benchmark.
Arma is poorly optimized. I would never ever use badly optimized games for benchmarking at all.
or use BeamNG.Drive more CPU intensive game
TheIronlefty i can play that on a laptop (gaming) guad core amd and integrated graphics
Or use like a strategy game they are fairly cpu intenseive.
only draw back to youtubes new 60fps option is that you cant turn it off. on my i5-2400 with hd 2000 gpu i get so much stutter its not worth watching. :-( i guess 480p it is.
I hope they implement a choice soon, it's no good suddenly doubling bandwidth requirement for a resolution and then not giving us a choice!
Thats intresting because in 720p60 my old core 2 duo laptop with an IGPU works perfect.
TheLameTechGuy yea i think it sucks but meh not that big of a deal its just my work computer so im not worried about it. i just miss 1080p lol
I would think it would be able to run it if my laptop can run it smoothly.
***** Oh, I see, thanks, but is the bitrate actually set in that manner? I watched a few youtube vids in 60fps and in 30fps on 1080p, and on the "stats for nerds", the approximate bitrate at 60fps was 10-12Mbps and for 30fps was about 5Mbps.
I've been waiting for this ever since my 5820k arrived!! Thanks Linus+team :)
Man I don't even have this CPU but I'm watching this just because the quality of the videos are good and I watch to learn lol. Keep it up Linus tech tips team !
Same :)
I rarely see videos with the 5930k, which bugs me because I just got one
It's basically the 5820K but with more/ faster cache and more pci - e lanes
+InfernoDroid im in the same boat, probably going to end up using this guide.
+kiran seehra Actually, the core and turbo freq are slightly higher and more PCI-E lanes, but cache and cache freq are identical.
William Brown Oh shit it is, I saw that it had 20M of cache on overclockers
+InfernoDroid Because unless you actually NEED the extra PCIe lanes, it's pointless to get. The chip is EXACTLY the same as the 5820k, with an extra 100mhz on base and boost clocks.
OC is like upgrading your car, put a turbo in it , add 150-200hp more but it will break sooner.
Nope, in fact it could do the opposite. By this I mean, if you have the knowledge to tweak the voltages and timings, you could keep the CPU at the same speed (Ghz amount) but give it a lower voltage than what is automatically given by the computer itself, putting a lower load on the CPU, lowering the temperatures, and so therefore extending its life. OR, you could keep the same voltage (therefore temperature) that your computer has automatically given, but gain more speed (Ghz) out of it.
SlavjanA It doesn't completely work like that power consumption wise but lower voltage in general does mean lower power consumption. Frequency though has to do with it as well.
SlavjanA You can always tune your turbo to not destroy your engine too :P , it's the same, i ran my i5 2500k on 4.5 1.27V for one and a half years and then it wanted more V to be working, i went from 1.27 to 1.30 to 1.33 now on 1.37V (3+ years now :P) but my noctua NH-D14 coundn't handle it. so i now run 4.4ghz on 1.32V .
Quetzalcoalt Damn wth, maybe your OC is unstable get intelburntest and just change the "threads" to 4 instead of the automatic "all", leave everything else as is ("times to run" on 10, "stress level" standard etc etc). After it completes, there's no error and it went fine, and your average temp across all of your CPUs stayed around 80C, then your system is stable. If it IS stable, then that's good, 4.4Ghz is fine tbh, all part of the silicon lottery :L
SlavjanA as i said u run 4.5 - 4.4 , 3 and a half fucking years, all day runing PC, never go over 76C on core in the summer!!! , and here it gets really hot. Back when i first test it for stability i ran prime and i passed 24 hours. Never had an issue until the 1.27 V wasn't enough 1 year. I've torched that CPU with everything. Live streaming game, and even did a C4D project that had to render for 7 days non stop.
Linus your a saint! I just purchased a system with the 5960x and following this guide got it to 4.6Ghz, Cheers mate from the UK.
Yes! 60fps Thank you Linus! now there's no more annoying motion blur when you move your hands or talk. Looks so much more fluid & real-to-life!
I have an 7 year old, DELL PC... And the only thing I can overclock is the Video Card (GeForce 9600 GT), I used MSI Afterburner and managed to get 5-10 FPS more in some games... still something :D My boss didnt pay me, I worked 7 months for $300($300 for all 7 months...not each month) for every $3000 my boss made I got $50... That is Bulgaria for you...(and I didnt work some stupid job, I worked in a PC Store/Service (the irony))
And I thought getting paid 250 € per month was the worst... Sorry to hear that dude, but hey, at least you're not the only one with a bad paycheck. No contract in my case though. Is it your first job? I'd consider trying to get a job somewhere else if I was you.
Wow most jobs here like working in grocery stores you get like 150 a week
niq872 I work in a grocery store in Canada around 30 hours a week I make 500 - 700 dollars every two weeks.
its better than mine 8400 GS
TheIronlefty I feel you bro...
whats the skylake uber-enthusiast chip gonna be called? The X199?
Probably X179 since X79 was using the same generation of CPUs as Z77
l__T__l eh
+l__T__l Before X79 was X59, and probably X39, so..?
+Vinyl Scratch X58 came before X79, and X48 before X58. :-)
Probably still X99. Broadwell-E will be on X99 100% and Skylake-E would probably still be on the same socket
Great video. Helped me overlock my system with similar setup as this one. Overlocked 5820k is awesome for 3D Rendering!
great video guys! my personal experience is with my own 3930k on a rampage IV extreme. I definitely won the the silicon lottery with this chip as she easily handles in the 4.25 Ghz range, I've had it stable at 4.5 ghz but that's just a bit too high for me to be comfortable with... Oh I also found the H100i to not cool well enough so the cpu is on its own water cooling loop with two D5 variable speed pumps and an extra thick 360mm XSPC rad.
I think if you buy an enthusiast platform cpu and can't oc without a help video you shouldn't have it.
There's plenty of people that can afford a 5820k and benefits from it. Your logic is very flawed.
Jacob S My point is if you buy a asus X99 board with the best OC features you should be able to do this before. If someone wants to use this cpu for work no problem.
Cyril Fo You never mentioned any motherboards in your OP so how could that be your point?
Very snobby attitude. People have to start some where. Maybe a softer tone would be better. Like, if you want to learn how to overclock, "I recommend using these components ... ".
Why take such a negative attitude? Makes you sound like a JERK.
Some people might not want to OC at first, or have maybe had their PC built by someone who knows what they're doing. It's not like you NEED to OC this type of build anyways, plenty op at stock.
thanks linus tech tips... with you guys videos, i can learn do build a pc correctly.. keep it movin man.
Finally!! Thanks Linus I was looking for x99 overclock guide.
Hey Linus, starting to see your vids show up on RetailEdge for Intel. It's nice to have a well done video to watch than a slide show with music like retailedge used to only be. Keep it up!
Thanks for this! Totally helped me get my bearings with my 5820k! Cheers!
I think this is a really good videoguide. You guys make alot of good interesting videos, I know this is a old one, but hey, it does not make it less good :) Keep on the good job!
Always Love your videos helps me a lot I have a Alienware area 51 R2 with a 5820k and 16 gigs of corsair dominator platinum ram running at 2800mhz and 2 gtx 980s and your over clock video here really helped me over clock to 4.5ghz and have everything running super smooth thanks a lot Linus!
Overclocking guides are definitely something the LTT community should always put out. Now while I don't have Haswell-E I am still watching but hey Linus do you have a guide from the past showing how to overclock an socket 1155 cpu like the i5 2500k?
I don't have alot of the hardware in any hardware videos, but all this info will help me get into the field and become a pro like linus :D
I have the MSI GD-65 motherboard and I use the auto overclock feature and have been happy with that
Great Video!
I was waiting for this to tune mine, because I'm a noobie, but thanks to you got the 5820k to a solid 4.9GHz
wow ever since linus hit a million subs. his channel has been growing like a wildfire!
Nice timing on the video. I just picked up a i7-5820 last night.
Thanks Linus. this was such an easy to follow guide. got 1.3 ghz more out of my i7. Cooling may not be totally optimized on my system.
thanks linus just got this board for my new build
Thank you for doing this video Linus. Thanks to this I know my x99 Deluxe is crap and called costumer service. No matter what overclock I choose whether manual or automatic or the amount will cause the board to give me a Legacy Boot error. Not the "DB" error that I should get if I overclocked incorrectly. Waiting for customer service to get back to me.
May 1st 2020 still using this chip.. long life with this one. @4.3
I have been watching your videos for a while and love them. I just wish you would slow down a little on the how to guides. I find myself having to re-watch certain areas because you go through them so fast.
LINUS, I know this one's been around for a while, but, I HAVE to say... You're OC Tips in this specific quickie, is EXCELLENT!!! Thanks again ~ Stay Orange ;)
Thanks Linus my 5930k will have a nice overclock :) Lucky for me I picked up one for $436 on the day before Cyber Monday.
Just upgraded to a 4070 (my 970 died) and came to see if I could close the gap a little. Wonderful processor, certainly worth the money back in 2014, soon it will have served me 10 years daily use.
10 years for me also and runs like 1st boot, did you get new card I also have 970 and thinking going into 3060
Thank you linus for this guide.
5820k
Evga ftw x99 board

evga 1000w g2 psu
evga 780ti sc
corsair h100i
needed to push about 1.35v to get similar results though 4.4-4.5ghz without bclk touched
I was a bit worried that my 3060 would get bottleneck issues from my 5820k. Not at all! I'm very surprised at just how much power my 5820k has. I built my PC for engineering simulations while in uni, but now, it's a sick gaming machine!
I have same CPU i try too get an i7 6950x cheap and them ill be ok for the next 5 years 😂👍
Wow! 15 min video go through how to overclock using ROG X99 board! Impressive! Thumbs Up!
I got the same motherboard, and chip, with the 280L Nepton - am going to play with this when i get home in about 1 Hour :-) thanks!
Poor ol Linus makes that computer case look huge! LOL!
As usual...great videos! Keep em coming!
Holy Cow the 60FPS is freaking awesome! All reviews needed in that!
Thank you very much for this detailed video. I have this exact same motherboard and CPU. Different RAM (Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB DDR4-3000MHz kit) but I want to overclock everything all the same! :)
Just bought this processor, 32gb ram, Asus x99 sabertooth and a Corsair liquid cooler for $400, can't wait to build it once I get it
im going to be upgrading my computer to the 5820 so i am grateful you did this video.
Just installed this and didn't know how to overclock with the asus motherboard. Thanks a lot man.
I got some really good results from ASUSs overclocking utility on my X99 system. Though I have a 5930K. I also had to force it to use a 125 MHz strap in order for my Dominator RAM to clock at its XMP speeds.
Hey LinusTechTips just to mention it: The first 5:40 min are only advertising for your other videos and the products. You can do that. But be aware that 6min are too long for advertising, for me. The 5 sec add on the beginning is totaly okay. But the 6 min today are over the top.
cool video, a tip if you are unstable make sure you are NOT running a 3xxx version BIOS, i have found them very unstable (google for it many others have to) go for 2101; much more stable (3303 and 3404 causes random reboots even without any overcloocking)
Thanks for review Linus, it was helpful with 6800k too.
fantastic vid, still spot on for the 6900k, keep up the good work guys!!!!!
I am amazed, I used to run a Rampage IV Extreme with a 4930k and 16gb quad channel G.Skill 2400MHz ddr3 ram (11-12-12-31-1T) and I would get over 60,000MBp/s in the AIDA 64 Ram benchmark.
I am running i7 5820k in 2020 and the only problem I have is with Warzone. All others are good and CPU and GPU are even today not going over 78 and 72 degrees. I guess I can still go get a little more thanks to watercooling.
It took me a month to get my rig stable at 4.4ghz while running my ram at 3000mhz. I found that X99 is really temperamental but the end result is amazing. I'm running the ROG Extreme Rampage with G Skill 3000 and a 5960x with a Lepa 1600w and 2x R9 290x (reference). I found the key for this platform is to keep the CPU Strap 100 no matter what. My Ram would be unstable at anything else.... Just some friendly advice. Have fun overclocking. Oh and I would not trust nor use the auto overclock settings unless you want your stuff to burn out. If you set the CPU to 10ghz It will try to get you there... carefull.
Great review as usual Linus. Thank you this helped me a great deal.
Running my old 2500K at 4.60Ghz at 75C and I’m pretty impress from the performance impact.
Great overclocking guide. I really really REALLY want this platform for when I get started making my own UA-cam content, but for now I am stuck with le AMD FX 8350. Not a bad CPU, but I've been having issues pushing the clock speeds higher than 4.7 GHz recently. Part of it is because I refuse to run my existing fans higher than 50% (stock Glacer 240L fans... blech), but the other part of it seems to be hunting down the appropriate voltages required to push the multi any more than 23.5. Still, I'm pretty happy with where the system performs at 4.7 GHz. Even got my memory o.c.'d from 1600 MHz to 2133 MHz (Corsair Vengeance LP Low Voltage, 2 x 4 GB kit) and a tiny o.c. on my 280X (1100 MHz core, 1600 MHz memory), though my GPU was kind of a dud and requires more voltage than I feel comfortable using with the card only being air cooled. I actually also did some testing with memory speeds to see how they impact RAMDisk performance. I noticed that with DDR3 at least, once you go past 1866 MHz you start to see some pretty dramatic diminishing returns on speed gained versus effort put into increasing speeds more, so 2133 MHz seems to be the perfect spot for DDR3 memory for most any system.
I have one question.
When should i increase my Voltage , and how much ?
Hey Linus! YOu probably get this a lot, but when are we going to see a a Haswell-E Build Guide? I wanna see your take on it! Great show!
Great overclocking guide Linus!
I managed to get 5.1ghz on my old 5820k with this guide and some fine tuning! It's still a good chip for actual games :D
i only manage 4,3ghz wtf....
I rock the bigger brother the i7 5830k on my MSI X99S MPower Overclock Board (The Bumblebee) since 2014 and it will see 2025 in my use, I replaced the MSI GTX980 with an Asus RTX 3060 Ti Tuf Gaming OC 8 GB (The 3 fan model), And I am still happy.
I'm so jelly. Linus gets to play with all this cool stuff.
Thanks for all your hard work with these excellent tutorials. I have a question. How come you decrease the bseclock back down to 100 with the XMP profile loaded at 10:06? I thought you want to keep it at 125?
I got my 4820k stable at 4.6 Ghz and my Dual 780ti Phantoms on 1150 Mhz. I let my Corsair Vengeance low profile ddr3 on standart 1600 mhz because i dont see a big benefit in overclocking ram
Stil running Intel I7-5930K @4.4 GHZ i need help with dram overlocking tho: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16Gb (4x4Gb) DDR4 2400MHz - Micron 4Gb IC memory
its hard to get a good mechanincal kyeboard for under $90, unless you can find a good deal on the older razer blackwidow, when it used blue switches. The Cmstorm quickfire also comes with green backlights, however it also has green mx switches and people generally think they are too heavy for gaming, and too heavy for typing as well unless you have bigger, heavier fingers. Those are the only two that come to mind, but you can use pcpartpicker to find a good keyboard in your price range.
Hello linus , great guide,
I have noticed that for a long time there was no pc build viedo,
So are you planning for it, because many new toys have came since your old builds(which were indeed great ).
It would be great if you do some latest : )
Hi Linus. Love your videos! But just wondering.. In another video, you recommend running Prime95 for 24 hours, while here you're saying it can damage hardware? I'm pretty new to building, and going to build a new rig soon. (ASUS X99 Deluxe, i7 5960X with Corsair H105, 2800mhz 64GB Kingston RAM and 1 GTX 980 Ti in the CM Cosmos II) Not going to go overboard with OC, and I'm just aiming to get the CPU to 4.1Ghz, and keep the RAM at stock 2800. Stability, reliability and lifespan is a big priority for me. The rig will mostly be used for CPU-intensive audio production.
In short: Do you still stand by 24 hours of small FFT, or should I run AIDA64 instead?
i noticed that my 5820k with xmp on Corsair dominator planitum 3000mhz did change my BLCK to 125 and increased the temps by 15c higher holly crap
but when it changes the BLCK to 125, can you change it back to 100 BLCK without having to desactivate the XMP?
Any steps that needs to be changed if using an 5960x? Any numbers that should be changed?
