I'm using a can of lunch meat (if the DP cable flexes too much, I loose signal, should probably replace that sometime...). The can adds just enough elevation. The best one though was a 12 pack of soda that held my 32 inch TV and raised it above my 2x monitors. That's not bad, but then I was thirsty and drank 4 of the cans, so it was just the cardboard holding a TV up (lengthwise), a few small Earthquakes almost made it fall down, and I decided it was a bad idea...
For those that don't already know, you can also overclock the i5 2500k on p67 boards. I got one to 4.4 ghz without touching the voltage on a gigabyte p67 mobo. Excellent performance for the price.
if my 2500k dies, I'll just replace it with another 2/3 series chip, whatever i7 I can find the best deal on. If the motherboard dies, I'll just replace it. Screw DDR4 RAM prices lol I don't need much to push my 1060 6GB! I can't give up this 16GB Corsair XMS3 kit haha
I want to upgrade my fx 8350 oc 4596 aio h100v2, I'm Looking for Intel ddr3 cpu motherboard combo for gaming, I dont want ddr4 bicuas ddr5 motherboard I think are coming out like in 3 4 years.
@@Adkatka Used to own a 2400 and it did pretty good alongside a 1050ti and 8gb Ddr3 Ram clocked at 1600 (I bought the 1050ti when it was seen as good) ran every game I threw at it 1080p Highish settings 60fps. But seeing as how many are being listed on the market if your on a real tight budget and see one going for cheap then go for it tho if you have a ryzen board there are better options.
Maybe do a beginners overclocking guide? I know I was trying to follow your x58 guide but I still didn't know what half of the things were! keep up the good work
Logan Vanderbeck maybe put some effort in and research overclocking guide instead.... there are comprehensive overclocking guides for every chipset and manufacturers bios
Ha! I have bought a Xeon X3450. It runs on a Asus P7P55D with 8GB DDR3 at 3,5 Ghz. It's at around 54°C under usual load with a cheap 18€ cooler. Thanks to it's lower TDP it has even more room for OC than the old I5 750. :D
I recently built a friend a rig with an x3430 due to Brian's suggestions. I got it to 3.2GHZ, which is low compared to most overclocks due to it being my first OC, but it runs great. The x3430 and x3440 are such fantastic value for money
The amount of quality content being pumped out by this cool guy ever since he moved into his new office is awesome!! What a beast of a man definite two thumbs up from me!!
Hey bro, again another fantastic video! Great for highlighting that even in today's climate you can still build great gaming rigs at low cost! Keep that content comin!!!
hey brian you should do a 1156 OC guide using a H55 board. I started in the Sandy Bridge days and not sure what the go with 1156 or 1366 is. Cheers man
Daniel Guerin I would like to see that aswell! A month ago he did a 1156 build with the exactly same mobo as I have. He also OCed but my mobo doesn't let me to change the voltage!!!! I am no expert on OC but I am sure that dynamiic Vcore is not the real Core Voltage. It's actually the exact same motherboard he is showing in this video. At 7:01
1366 supports cheap hex core Xeons with low heat output 32nm and will do 4ghz on the stock cooler and maxes out at 4.6ghz and gets a minor speed bump from triple channel memory, 1156 supports more expensive quad cores they run much hotter on 45nm and you need a really good cooler and max out at 4ghz but often lower. It really depends on how much you get the1156 or 1366 board for but I’d recommend a 2500k and p8p67 over these.
I upgraded my old desktop computer from a Core i3 2120 to an i7 2600. I didn't want to buy some 2600k that someone had overclocked and run at 100° for 5 years... but I did some research and found that you CAN overclock the standard 2600. I took mine from the out of the box 3.4ghz, and I now run it at a steady 4.1. Huge improvement in performance.
4770k is a crap overclocker as the voltage regulator is in chip so buying a good board with great vrms make no difference. You have to have a great chip and delid it for a good 24/7 OC at 4.6ghz

@Yuzuki1337, :D I also last week got a Quad-Core i5-3350P @3.10Ghz, MSI NVIDIA GT 630 2GB of VRAM, 1x 8GB 2RX8 DDR3 @1250MHZ, Foxconn 2ADA Motherboard, Seagate 1TB, and a BenQ GL2450 for 105€ :D
@PS4 Custom Gamer, I'll just probably sell the 1x MSI NVIDIA GT 630 GDDR3 2GB, 1x 8GB 2RX8 DDR3 @1250mHz RAM, 1x ATI AMD Radeon HD 6900 SERIES 2GB, 1x Intel Core i3 4130 3.40GHz, and maybe even the 1x Intel Core i5-3350P Quad-Core @3.10Ghz, because it wouldn't work on the motherboard, and get like a 1150 CPU, which would work on the motherboard, because I don't think it's worth to just get a 1155 motherboard to put a Quad-Core i5-3350P @3.10Ghz, which isn't even overclockable, has just 4 threads, and not doesn't even have an iGPU, which would be useful for troubleshooting.
Brian I just picked up a 4820K entire machine 16gb ram and 64gb SSD for 100 USD! It had a burned up CPU I swapped in a 1650 off of ebay for $89 and its a freakin monster! Cheers man keep the builds coming! I couldn't confirm if MSI X79 GD45 Plus could use the V2 version of the 1650 so I stuck with SB E instead.
I need some help will my rig game? My Rig CPU-Xeon x5450 Ram-8gb Psu-650w SSD-Kingston 240g Gpu-HD 6850 CPU cooler-MasterAir Maker 8 My rig total includeing case and shit 247 dollars Gud or Not For the money
Łarge Boi change the GPU for a gtx 670 or 770 or a gtx 760 or basically anything gtx 660+ they are cheap and really good or if not get a gtx 580 it's really amazing and super cheap too outperforms your current GPU by a mile.
I haveo ne too (granted, paired with a GTX 780ti) and i play all modern games in HD on ultra and i get at least 60 fps. Including terrible optimized games such as Rust I do have the 6 cores Phenom II BE though
Max Pain nice, from my research and benchmark comparisons my one performs roughly at the same level as a 2400. Good for my needs for a good while yet. Short of an amazing deal presenting itself I'd say our older chips are holding up bloody well 👍
Brian, I love your videos, but I think you should stick the numbering graphic with the overall theme of the graphis from the start of the video..just a tought, I think it could look better 😉
PS4 Custom Gamer yes it will die a bit faster, or incredibly fast if you push it way to far, but thing is, those of us that do it right will still have their processor working 6-7 years later or even my q6600 that still works just fine thats been running 4ghz for a decade, and it probably still got a few years ahead of it still. If you didnt know the ps4 pro is in the literal sense an overclocked ps4 with another gig of ram
Weird, my i5 2500k has been at 5.0GHz since 2011, daily use. It can 100% push a 1070 in virtually all situations and even an overclocked 1070ti in many situations, and it's from 2011. Hahaha!!!
Not everyone has the money to buy a new pc. I'm transforming my old Dell precision 3500T to a gaming pc. Still have to overclock my CPU but i'm getting there. As far as GPU prices, depends on your choice. Just make sure it's compatible, with your wallet and pc! P.s. your wallet doesn't account for your skills:)
Greetings from Brazil I really liked the video and will probably get the x3440 one. I just have some questions. H55 or P55? Why? What would you recommend for a USB3.0 on those mobos? Maybe a SATA III? Keep the great work. Really like your effort on those videos. (great monitor stand 10/10)
Hey Brian, your mining seems to have got you a lot of money, using a Corsair RM 750X brand new as a monitor stand haha. Good job, keep up the good work.
Hi Brian! Will World of Warcraft be running on a overclocked X3440? Besides playing sometimes WoW I am not a gemaer, but I'd like to build a PC on (very low) budget that is capable to run it. Keep on making such good videos! I like your channel. Many greetings from Germany! Dominik
For anyone new to it, looking to overclock, or overclocking a new cpu line for the 1st time; when they release a 'range' of cpus, they are based on the exact same core. Some have higher clocks than the others (& the higher price tag to go along with it) but, they are essentially the same core. If you are unsure of how much v core voltage for example, you should use with a raised clock frequency (without hours of stability checking apps like Prime & small adjustments), then just look at the retail specs for the cpu version at your speed or nearest to it. Same for any VTT voltage specs (should still be similar but you get the idea). If there's one in the range @3.4 Ghz with a v core of 1.35v & you have calculated your overclock to around 3454Mhz (3.45 Ghz) then stick it at the same 1.35v. Then go from there. Using a locked multiplier & pushing B-clock or fsb/ hyper transport you won't always get bang on figures. That's because you are multiplying it by the odd number you dialed in BIOS. You can fine tune later, see how much voltage you can get away without. Simple. They do pick the better performing cores at testing for better, higher priced or server cpus at times but, it's not that bad anymore & is something more to look for these days when they release a 'budget version'. Then they tend to use all the poorer cores, that they know will still perform perfectly well at the lower speeds they sell at but, many won't be able to catch the others when overclocking and to do so may need much more v core voltage than usual. It's unsustainable for business to use just those though for the budget ranges and there's less poorer examples produced these days anyway & so that's where the gamble comes in.They still use the rest if he good cores to meet a quota. You're likely to get as good a clocking budget chip or not. But they still try to get rid of the poorer performing cores that way, if they can. & they don't all reach the exact individual limit but, they are a lot closer these days, as production is generally better unless a certain newer smaller process runs into trouble. Always remember, at least with some of the older platforms the RAM speed overclocks along with the CPU, 'it's tied' & if you're running 1600 Mhz memory at 1650 Mhz + that's going to crap out 1st. So you will need to drop back to 1333 Mhz for example. & maybe again to 1066 Mhz later, if you are able to keep going.
Ive ordered this same exact mobo for my E5 build too, cant wait for you to do your review, reckon that you will get yours before me, because China is much close to Oz than it is to northern Europe. Also, really hoping it well be of OK quality and actually work with the Engineering Sample CPU i have, its of C1 stepping tho, and they say on the page it will work with C1, C2 of "V1", but we shall see.
I love your videos. For 10-15 years ago I was always looking for the best bang for the buck with overclocking and unlocking. In 2013 I stopped using gameing PC but your videos makes me wanna build a gameing PC again. I whould recommend everyone to buy a nice PSU if you are going to overclock. Even some "good" PSU's can scream and burn. But PSU's are better now compared with 10-15 years ago.
Of the older CPUs I recommend looking at the i7 4790K, it can unclock a lot and the chipset is modern enough that you can have motherboards with M.2, quick charge usb ports etc. You also have mobos with mATX and MINI-ITX, so its possible to build a compact 4 core/ht (8 threads) quite cheap. I run it with 1080 Ti and 32GB Corsair memory (the best ddr3 that was around at that time). Still I max out the 1080Ti in all games and with SSD storage the computer "flies" with some noctua cooler etc.
Bryan - can't wait for your review of the huanan x79 motherboard. U can try using it with a ECC Ram as the motherboard support it It's 1/2 the price of regular ddr 3
Hey Brian. Just picked up a e5-1650v1 for 70$. Soooo I'm impatiently waiting for that huanan MOBO review! All I can find right now is in Russian. At least the version you showed has a heat-spreader on the VRM which might be critical when overclocking.
without knowing all the prices out there on these CPUs & motherboards and video cards combine price, is this combo still competitive the existing AMD Reyzen 3 2200g and motherboard combo, also what about performance? BTW good explanation.
About those cheap x58 msi boards, I guess you have to get unlucky, I have an msi x58 pro since last year and its holding my x5675 at 4ghz just fine. I do admit that memory oc doesnt always go well, but apart from that I'm very happy with this board. I'm thinking on upgrading to an Asus p6t6 or p6t7 depending on whats available at the time. In any case, great video YES man! Looking to get one of those w3670 cpus to test my supposedly dead rampage 3 extreme that I have lying around.
Hey Tech Yes, Asus P6t a good pick? I was going to resell this rig complete. I wonder if i should just keep it But i do have a 8700 rig. so its pointless to keep. I bought this entire system for 25$ canadian. same ratio to usd as australia... just needed a ssd and powersupply. came with 6gb ram and a i7 930 + hd5770.
Youve inspired me to build a powerful used budget PC. But I am taking it one step further... custom liquid loop. Gumtree and forums, get that hustle on... Another added challenge is to not spend any of my money. I have to sell old gear I have around to fund it :D alot of fun.
Im a bit confused, when reccomending the X3440 you said you can use p55 or h55 motherboards. But aren't the H chipset boards from intel locked, which defeats the purpose of the "overclockable cpu's" video? Why wouldnt you have just reccomended the p55 boards? I've been wanting to do a used build for fun and after watching this i went ahead and bought the components but i didnt realize that the H55 board i bought wasn't overclockable except for the base clock method which isn't garunteed anyways. I should have double checked before purchasing but since intel used to have different chipsets (for example having P chipset) i didnt think about it and just went with what you said. Bummer.
Nice Roundup Yes Man, weird coincidence that I just picked up that x3440s brother I7 870 with Gigabyte p55-usb3 and 4gb ddr3 for 100 USD just last month. was that a good deal?
MQC Compo first gen intel turbo boost is crap and all the manufacturers handle it differently, gigabyte give you access to full turbo multipliers overclocked so you’re almost guaranteed better or at least easier overclocks.
Thanks for the reply my man, yah I'm pleased with the performance so far but I'll have to get a better cpu cooler then the intel stock one it came with I forgot to mention I also picked up a zotac GTX 1050 from another seller for 80$ which I was ecstatic about considering current pricing
Awesome topic Bryan ! Thank you ! I'm wondering, what would happen if we paired a dual xeon x5650/5690 with 2 GTX 1080 ti in SLI? Is it even possible? Would it be relevant for gaming compared to some modern CPUs? I'ld love to hear about it from people crazy enough to attempt such things ! PS : If I remember correctly TYC made a video about that a while ago. Dunicron was the name of the beast but it had no SLI.
Just bought a 3930k for $78 (basically the same as the E5-1650 V2 at number 5 spot). Unfortunately I was planning to buy an ASUS X79 motherboard for $150 shipped but someone bought it while I was researching it, damn it! I bought an MSI X79 GD45 Plus board for $175 instead. Waiting for them to arrive... I have about 40 GBs of DDR3 RAM to try out in it. Gonna see if it will use it all, 8 sticks. As long as I can get a bit of an overclock I will be happy, I don't go for max OC, just an easy, stable OC and keep the voltage down.
Just getting into gaming on pc. I bought an optiplex 980 desktop with the i5-650 and a gtx 1050ti. Wondering which motherboard you would recommend to upgrade with in order to overclock?
Im playing with my 2600k (4,6ghz oc)...its a real beast even today :). Those 1155-mobos are rare but lucky that original extreme p67 working perfectly.
I don't understand why people recommend so expensive cpu for gaming when you can do it in dirt cheap budget cpus like xeonx3430 oc love ur content bro subscribed.
I think that a made the right decision when I paid 7 more dollars for the x3440 rather than x3430.I think that an overclocking guide in these older sockets will be a good help for all of us.Also it is something that we don't see anymore because of the age of that sockets
i have followed your video and bought x3430 few months ago and overclocled it to 3.6ghz on my asus h55 mobo. now what will be your suggestion if i want to upgrade from this platform as um hearing in near future 4 cores wont be enough for gaming. x58+ w3670 ? or something else ?

Thanks Tech Yes City, I love seeing recommendations for Xeon CPUs because there is so much value in them.
Ha! I have bought a Xeon X3450. It runs on a Asus P7P55D with 8GB DDR3 at 3,5 Ghz. It's at around 54°C under usual load with a cheap 18€ cooler. Thanks to it's lower TDP it has even more room for OC than the old I5 750. :D
Ulfgar-Septimus von Stahlenberg yeah but it’s dual core that will end up being slower
PS4 Custom Gamer its a quad core not a dual core
It has same TDP, as i5 750. Both have 95W TDP.
I recently built a friend a rig with an x3430 due to Brian's suggestions. I got it to 3.2GHZ, which is low compared to most overclocks due to it being my first OC, but it runs great. The x3430 and x3440 are such fantastic value for money

Łarge Boi Yeah dude. Just gotta wait until those GPU prices come down.
Łarge Boi change the GPU for a gtx 670 or 770 or a gtx 760 or basically anything gtx 660+ they are cheap and really good or if not get a gtx 580 it's really amazing and super cheap too outperforms your current GPU by a mile.
Thx
Łarge Boi np
Wht about my cpu??
Keep them coming Brian. Love your videos.
no AMD? The Phenom Black edition are dirt cheap and for the price they overclock and perform VERY well.
i have one and i can't play some new games
I haveo ne too (granted, paired with a GTX 780ti) and i play all modern games in HD on ultra and i get at least 60 fps.
Including terrible optimized games such as Rust
I do have the 6 cores Phenom II BE though
i have 1090t i cant even play games like AC origins
It prob is video card related
no the game needs SSE 4.2
Nice, well I'm rockin' an i7 870 @ 3.69ghz (damn your fine), so basically the x3440, and can confirm it does go great with the 780 ti :).
Max Pain nice, from my research and benchmark comparisons my one performs roughly at the same level as a 2400. Good for my needs for a good while yet. Short of an amazing deal presenting itself I'd say our older chips are holding up bloody well 👍
Need some advice. Do i get an i7 6950X extreme edition? They're going for pretty cheap ($230) on ebay for auction.
Yes it is and US dollars.
It is a used CPU
I heard the x5450 is a gud overclocker it’s a quad core Xeon clocked at 3.00ghz
I'm guessing you saw it in bid for the "current" bid being $230. I doubt it ended on that number.
Ak Mungroo besides with that price u can get a x58+x5650 for around the same price
Ak Mungroo Auction... It will go to 700$ at the end of the auction so... No
Brian, I love your videos, but I think you should stick the numbering graphic with the overall theme of the graphis from the start of the video..just a tought, I think it could look better 😉
x5670 dual cpu is better then i7 2700k for gaming
Just bought an x3440 and asus p7p55 lx off the back of this video. Buying old hardware is fast becoming an addiction.
Where is my 2600K ?????!!!!
wasn't going to leave a like until you mentioned pairing it with an R9 290. Patrician class.
Me personally I feel if you dont overclock, you are just leaving money on the table, by not using all the power available.
Sh1ekk if you overclock your cpu will degrade and become unusable these are the facts and they mean it’s a stupid idea to OC
Stick to PS4, you don't really have any idea what you're talking about.
PS4 Custom Gamer yes it will die a bit faster, or incredibly fast if you push it way to far, but thing is, those of us that do it right will still have their processor working 6-7 years later or even my q6600 that still works just fine thats been running 4ghz for a decade, and it probably still got a few years ahead of it still. If you didnt know the ps4 pro is in the literal sense an overclocked ps4 with another gig of ram
Weird, my i5 2500k has been at 5.0GHz since 2011, daily use.
It can 100% push a 1070 in virtually all situations and even an overclocked 1070ti in many situations, and it's from 2011. Hahaha!!!
So, what's it like to win the silicon lottery? fml... Even my FX 8350 can't hit 5ghz on water.
Great series, man. Keep it up \m/
2600k
Very nice video. Definetly thinking about ordering the 6 core. Would be absolutely great for stream encoding.
You have to stop showing that hand with that green screen, just doesn't look right
Seems creepy to me tbh
H
Is not aesthetically pleasing
Got a 4820k and x79 motherboard for 150$, overclocked it to 4.7 and it’s a BEAST!
Building a PC in 2018 lul
kfc chan lul. Its impossible to build a gaming PC in 2018 cause of the gpu prices unless you are dumb as shit and pay 1000 dollars for a 1070 xD
Dr Bingbongbangbang that was a month ago. Prices in the UK have dropped since then
Dr Bingbongbangbang it was like 2-3 months ago. I have a post on my Twitter. My twitter has the same name as my YT chanel
Not everyone has the money to buy a new pc. I'm transforming my old Dell precision 3500T to a gaming pc. Still have to overclock my CPU but i'm getting there. As far as GPU prices, depends on your choice. Just make sure it's compatible, with your wallet and pc!
P.s. your wallet doesn't account for your skills:)
Swapped my i7-950 for a W3680 a year ago, no regrets at all!
You earn my sub,nice work with calm style keep it up! :)
9:16 "that you can apply to future overclocking... in the future"
great choice of wording ^^
Greetings from Brazil
I really liked the video and will probably get the x3440 one. I just have some questions. H55 or P55? Why? What would you recommend for a USB3.0 on those mobos? Maybe a SATA III?
Keep the great work. Really like your effort on those videos.
(great monitor stand 10/10)
Gabriel Alencar if you want those go AliExpress p67 with a 2500k
Hey Brian, your mining seems to have got you a lot of money, using a Corsair RM 750X brand new as a monitor stand haha. Good job, keep up the good work.
On a roll lately, another good vid :)
Very useful information, thank you. Instead of all the hyped CPU's that cost bags of cash, sensible budget recommendations that every Joe can buy.
Yep, still got two 2500Ks clocked at 4.8 and it's hard to justify upgrading in 2019, aside from how the chipsets and peripherals have moved on.
What about now? Have you upgraded
Good content mate, keep up the good work, I'm running Xeon X5687 @ 3.8 GHz :D
the i5-2500 still rocks today . i run it @ 4.8 ghz
Really looking forward to the OC tutorial videos!
Hi Brian!
Will World of Warcraft be running on a overclocked X3440?
Besides playing sometimes WoW I am not a gemaer, but I'd like to build a PC on (very low) budget that is capable to run it.
Keep on making such good videos! I like your channel.
Many greetings from Germany!

For anyone new to it, looking to overclock, or overclocking a new cpu line for the 1st time; when they release a 'range' of cpus, they are based on the exact same core. Some have higher clocks than the others (& the higher price tag to go along with it) but, they are essentially the same core. If you are unsure of how much v core voltage for example, you should use with a raised clock frequency (without hours of stability checking apps like Prime & small adjustments), then just look at the retail specs for the cpu version at your speed or nearest to it. Same for any VTT voltage specs (should still be similar but you get the idea). If there's one in the range @3.4 Ghz with a v core of 1.35v & you have calculated your overclock to around 3454Mhz (3.45 Ghz) then stick it at the same 1.35v. Then go from there. Using a locked multiplier & pushing B-clock or fsb/ hyper transport you won't always get bang on figures. That's because you are multiplying it by the odd number you dialed in BIOS. You can fine tune later, see how much voltage you can get away without. Simple. They do pick the better performing cores at testing for better, higher priced or server cpus at times but, it's not that bad anymore & is something more to look for these days when they release a 'budget version'. Then they tend to use all the poorer cores, that they know will still perform perfectly well at the lower speeds they sell at but, many won't be able to catch the others when overclocking and to do so may need much more v core voltage than usual. It's unsustainable for business to use just those though for the budget ranges and there's less poorer examples produced these days anyway & so that's where the gamble comes in.They still use the rest if he good cores to meet a quota. You're likely to get as good a clocking budget chip or not. But they still try to get rid of the poorer performing cores that way, if they can. & they don't all reach the exact individual limit but, they are a lot closer these days, as production is generally better unless a certain newer smaller process runs into trouble. Always remember, at least with some of the older platforms the RAM speed overclocks along with the CPU, 'it's tied' & if you're running 1600 Mhz memory at 1650 Mhz + that's going to crap out 1st. So you will need to drop back to 1333 Mhz for example. & maybe again to 1066 Mhz later, if you are able to keep going.
Ive ordered this same exact mobo for my E5 build too, cant wait for you to do your review, reckon that you will get yours before me, because China is much close to Oz than it is to northern Europe. Also, really hoping it well be of OK quality and actually work with the Engineering Sample CPU i have, its of C1 stepping tho, and they say on the page it will work with C1, C2 of "V1", but we shall see.
I love your videos. For 10-15 years ago I was always looking for the best bang for the buck with overclocking and unlocking. In 2013 I stopped using gameing PC but your videos makes me wanna build a gameing PC again. I whould recommend everyone to buy a nice PSU if you are going to overclock. Even some "good" PSU's can scream and burn. But PSU's are better now compared with 10-15 years ago.
Of the older CPUs I recommend looking at the i7 4790K, it can unclock a lot and the chipset is modern enough that you can have motherboards with M.2, quick charge usb ports etc. You also have mobos with mATX and MINI-ITX, so its possible to build a compact 4 core/ht (8 threads) quite cheap. I run it with 1080 Ti and 32GB Corsair memory (the best ddr3 that was around at that time). Still I max out the 1080Ti in all games and with SSD storage the computer "flies" with some noctua cooler etc.
and the heat is huge too
Thank you, i was lost trying to upgrade PC trying to keep the DDR3 RAM
thanks for this videos! i love them! when i get some time and money, i'll get some for me
Bryan - can't wait for your review of the huanan x79 motherboard.
U can try using it with a ECC Ram as the motherboard support it
It's 1/2 the price of regular ddr 3
Hey Brian. Just picked up a e5-1650v1 for 70$. Soooo I'm impatiently waiting for that huanan MOBO review! All I can find right now is in Russian. At least the version you showed has a heat-spreader on the VRM which might be critical when overclocking.
it is fun to overclock .. specially the cheaper used CPUs but they can consume a lot of power.. so bare that in mind if cost is an issue for you
without knowing all the prices out there on these CPUs & motherboards and video cards combine price, is this combo still competitive the existing AMD Reyzen 3 2200g and motherboard combo, also what about performance?
BTW good explanation.
You're an aliexpress guru!
Keep them aliexpress videos coming, love them!
About those cheap x58 msi boards, I guess you have to get unlucky, I have an msi x58 pro since last year and its holding my x5675 at 4ghz just fine. I do admit that memory oc doesnt always go well, but apart from that I'm very happy with this board. I'm thinking on upgrading to an Asus p6t6 or p6t7 depending on whats available at the time.
In any case, great video YES man! Looking to get one of those w3670 cpus to test my supposedly dead rampage 3 extreme that I have lying around.
Can't wait to see the 1650 OC video. Been looking at those cheap x79 Chinese boards myself, but don't wanna get hosed. 😓
lifeinthaboot same except im looking at x58+x5650
This is great Bryan! Thanks sir!
Hey Tech Yes, Asus P6t a good pick?
I was going to resell this rig complete. I wonder if i should just keep it But i do have a 8700 rig. so its pointless to keep. I bought this entire system for 25$ canadian. same ratio to usd as australia... just needed a ssd and powersupply. came with 6gb ram and a i7 930 + hd5770.
e5 1650 or 3930k? seems like same price to me. also what's the difference with the e5 1650 and 5he v2 version?
Youve inspired me to build a powerful used budget PC. But I am taking it one step further... custom liquid loop. Gumtree and forums, get that hustle on... Another added challenge is to not spend any of my money. I have to sell old gear I have around to fund it :D alot of fun.
Im a bit confused, when reccomending the X3440 you said you can use p55 or h55 motherboards. But aren't the H chipset boards from intel locked, which defeats the purpose of the "overclockable cpu's" video? Why wouldnt you have just reccomended the p55 boards? I've been wanting to do a used build for fun and after watching this i went ahead and bought the components but i didnt realize that the H55 board i bought wasn't overclockable except for the base clock method which isn't garunteed anyways. I should have double checked before purchasing but since intel used to have different chipsets (for example having P chipset) i didnt think about it and just went with what you said. Bummer.
h55 does overclock. I had an msi h55 and had my 3450 at 3.8 easy and 1333 ram at 2000
Hey Brian is there any chance you can do a 8700k over clocking video as can’t find a decent one anywhere and your guides are always easy to follow
Nice Roundup Yes Man, weird coincidence that I just picked up that x3440s brother I7 870 with Gigabyte p55-usb3 and 4gb ddr3 for 100 USD just last month. was that a good deal?
MQC Compo first gen intel turbo boost is crap and all the manufacturers handle it differently, gigabyte give you access to full turbo multipliers overclocked so you’re almost guaranteed better or at least easier overclocks.
Thanks for the reply my man, yah I'm pleased with the performance so far but I'll have to get a better cpu cooler then the intel stock one it came with
I forgot to mention I also picked up a zotac GTX 1050 from another seller for 80$ which I was ecstatic about considering current pricing
Got the x3430, the x3440 and now the x3470 all from aliexpress and all great beasts! Got 3.8 in all of them. Got to get the voltage a little higher
Love this channel.
Awesome topic Bryan ! Thank you !
I'm wondering, what would happen if we paired a dual xeon x5650/5690 with 2 GTX 1080 ti in SLI? Is it even possible? Would it be relevant for gaming compared to some modern CPUs? I'ld love to hear about it from people crazy enough to attempt such things !
PS : If I remember correctly TYC made a video about that a while ago. Dunicron was the name of the beast but it had no SLI.
Will try the 2 x5690s soon, all in due time!
Just bought a 3930k for $78 (basically the same as the E5-1650 V2 at number 5 spot). Unfortunately I was planning to buy an ASUS X79 motherboard for $150 shipped but someone bought it while I was researching it, damn it! I bought an MSI X79 GD45 Plus board for $175 instead. Waiting for them to arrive... I have about 40 GBs of DDR3 RAM to try out in it. Gonna see if it will use it all, 8 sticks.
As long as I can get a bit of an overclock I will be happy, I don't go for max OC, just an easy, stable OC and keep the voltage down.
I'm running an x5670 @ 4.4 so far so good, I've had the motherboard since new 9 years ago
Just getting into gaming on pc. I bought an optiplex 980 desktop with the i5-650 and a gtx 1050ti. Wondering which motherboard you would recommend to upgrade with in order to overclock?
Im playing with my 2600k (4,6ghz oc)...its a real beast even today :). Those 1155-mobos are rare but lucky that original extreme p67 working perfectly.
I don't understand why people recommend so expensive cpu for gaming when you can do it in dirt cheap budget cpus like xeonx3430 oc love ur content bro subscribed.
I think that a made the right decision when I paid 7 more dollars for the x3440 rather than x3430.I think that an overclocking guide in these older sockets will be a good help for all of us.Also it is something that we don't see anymore because of the age of that sockets
Please make some guides on how to overclock. I am very interested in doing this just need to know how
please do update the guide for the x58 & p55 overclock..nice video as always brian..thank you for the list
i have followed your video and bought x3430 few months ago and overclocled it to 3.6ghz on my asus h55 mobo. now what will be your suggestion if i want to upgrade from this platform as um hearing in near future 4 cores wont be enough for gaming. x58+ w3670 ? or something else ?
awesome loved this video thank you brian
