Unlike other "youtube tech celebrities" who just read off from teleprompter with doodling eyes, I particularly enjoy how this gentleman is truly trying to teach you knowledge with his own knowledge. Great work. I learned so much from this video.
There has been a great deal of confusion regarding AVX vs non-AVX, LTT vs HardwareUnboxed bench marks, standard/expected temps vs overheating temps. This video at 12:35 Understanding key aspects of overclocking frequencies, AVX, voltages, cache ratios and more...clears all that confusion up. Up until this point no other channel that I viewed explained this so clearly, although HardwareUnboxed came close. EXCELLENT job explaining these parameters and giving an overclocking tutorial, which I plan to use on my Asus Z370 as well. Thank you. P.S. I subscribed due to the quality of this video, so Newegg is indebted to JJ...:-).
Juan José Guerrero, muy buen tutorial. Deberías hacer uno en español si es que lo hablas, tienes una manera única y simple de explicar las cosas. Gracias por tu atención.
I would like to vote for a full walk through of all mobo features. I have been system building for 30 years and have never really found a good explanation of all the advanced features from either the manual or any online resource. Thanks!
One of the best boards I have ever used. Especially for somebody who overclocks ram beyond xmp. The buttons on the motherboard make it so much easier for ram overclockers as we spend considerable time not posting when configuring timings one at a time.
is this guy from asus doing a video for newegg? either way What the eff man. All these tech youtubers that do videos day in and day out and Mr. Juan Jose Guerrero from corporate comes in and gives the best, most informative, easiest to follow and EXTREMELY educational over clocking video I have EVER seen. Bravo. Leaving a like. Would leave 100 if I could.
Thank you so much. I have looked like 15 overclocking guides and thats the best most stable. I could get the overclocks always stable, but something in games allways felt off. But with this overclock my games feel so good. Jesus bless.
Thanks a lot man, you are very cool. Like, literally, you explained everything calmly. I didn't think I'd watch the complete video, but your presentation and the content of this video, really didn't let it feel like it was a hour long. :)
JJ and E3OCD are my go too for overclocking...I'm just rebuilding a new system..between both of these guys knowledge my current system has been an OC'd I5 4690k running at 4.2ghz for the last 4 yrs no issues. I just need a new hex core system for DCS World VR. Thanks JJ for the advice, solid as usual. Per Core is the way to go.
This is brilliant, I’m glad I found this on RUclips. This has helped me understand my z390 motherboard and the options it has that I feel more confident about over clocking my 9700k. Thank you so much
J.J. Just wanted to let you know I bought the Asus Rog Strix Z390-E because of you (and through Newegg because I love Newegg) and how amazing Asus motherboards are. Just waiting on my 9900K to get here to finish setting up my pc. Will be using this video to overclock.
Great Video. Normally the first thing I do when getting a new PC is look at the bios settings.. When I got my new PC loaded with a Prime Z390-A board and looked at the bios settings I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices. This video should be listed in the users guide.
I've been building and overclocking systems for over 19 years, starting with an ASUS A7V-133 and a Duron 800. ASUS makes great hardware, but the instructions, software, and other documentation isn't always the most straightforward. I just rebuilt my system with a WS Z390PRO, an i9-9900k, and two ASUS GTX 1660 Supers for distributed computing. This video was critical for decoding the several differently branded subsystems with conflicting goals (overclocking, energy efficiency, automatic, etc). As usual, ASUS made great hardware and slapped a cute name on every process, but don't always tell you what that process does or why. The AI overclocking isn't great for me, because I run full load about 23/7 and my fans would keep the neighbors up at night if I maxed it out. Most of my computing is done by the graphics cards, so this video helped me understand how to overclock for low/load low/core usage like gaming, but reduce or even underclock it the rest of the time for reasonable temps and wattage.
This was the vid I needed to see. I am building basically the exact system. Different case and using air cooling. Have never over clocked so I found this to very helpful. Thank you.
You should take the time to adjust one value at a time so you know which made your system stable. Use AI Suite in windows to do this quickly. Use 5min prime95 blend after each adjustment. Check the BSOD code for what part of your cpu failed and adjust accordingly.
Short story: 1. Ramp up multiplier to 50. (leave baseclock alone) 2. Ramp up XMP 3. Ramp up vcore voltage to 1.375 (find minimum with a stress test) 4. If CPU temps are far away from the maximum of 105 degrees celcius, (say 85) then you can ramp up the multiplier more. Done.
THE BEST overclocking guide for ASUS mobo's. I will state that ASUS needs to fix SVID and it's ability to downclock the processor in certain instances like benchmarking. It's irritating having to disable it in the UEFI just to benchmark and then re-enable it later. Most loads like games do not downclock...by downclock I mean if I'm overclocked to 5.2ghz, it will go down to 4.3ghz with SVID enabled for some reason on cinebench r20 in particular. So you can't really benchmark or stress test with SVID enabled. With SVID disabled, you can't use adaptive voltage at all and the benefits of lower voltages with no load. So you will be running 800mhz downclocked with 1.43volts lol. The only way for it to work is with SVID enabled specifically for downvolted voltage.
Very useful, thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. Here is a tip for multi-camera vid production: live camera switches should be visible to the speaker, so he can switch his attention, with a little turn of the head and eyes. This switching seems not quite right, because the alternate cameras show him talking to someone else, over your shoulder.
Tuf yea on the cooler prediction I told the AI to stop learning at a score of 160. My cooler is a beast so it kept getting a better score causing the AI to push the OC. this is on a asus maximus hero Xi WiFi
What's the difference between a 5ghz overclock on the first few cores and turbo boost? Isn't that the point of intel's turbo boost? Or is a 5ghz overclock become the baseline and turbo boost then jumps up above that?
One thing you didn't talk about was how your CPU was throttling. You had it set to 5ghz, yet when you turned up the voltage and ran CINEBENCH, it throttled down to 4.7 - 4.8ghz. You didn't have software showing your CPU temps. That AIO cooler wasn't not keeping it cool enough so 1 or more cores got too hot which caused the CPU to throttle down. That is an important part to leave out because that means the voltage is set too high for your cooler. Granted, most applications will not push a CPU temps like CINEBENCH will, but it's worth noting. Otherwise, a great video and for the most part, had some great information.
Really good explanation of how to OC, but the lack of temperature monitoring worries me. HWMonitor or similar program should be running when testing, I mean sure you can OC to a higher number but if your rig is constantly hitting the mid-90's tempwise you aren't doing it any favors. Plus Cinebench 15 is great to see if there's basic stability in your OC, but running an actual stress test for an hour or so might reveal some issues.
good video, i have a question i have this procesoor on asus prime z390-a but when enable turbo boost on bios when i starts windows always appears blue screen and reboot the system automatically (only when enable turbo boost) if i disable it windows starts normally, can you tell me how to configurate my procesor to avoid windows restart when i enable turboboost?
JJ is a freaking CHAMPION! I just reduced my temps and under the same 5GHz clock by 16*C! I used the ASUS preloaded 5GHz OC Profile and it was using too much voltage! DON'T FORGET if you are going adaptive DO NOT set your power settings in Windows to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE or else the clocks and voltage won't go down! Problem solved, and I got exactly what I was looking for out of this video!
You’re a walking legend. Got my 9700k OC’d to 5.0Ghz @ 1.24v stable... now the question I have is adaptive mode. I can’t get adaptive mode set to hit a max of 1.24v... when I set it in bios I boot up at 1.31v and it’s also my voltage while gaming. How can I set a specific voltage as my max on adaptive? In my case (1.24v)
dude theres no way, its because it looks like its auto increasing it to 1.31 because it cant go off 1.24. that would be potentially the best 9700k in the world. 1.31 is what it needs on yours to achieve 5ghz. set it to 1.31 and leave thats really good for a 9700k. I am at 1.34
cause when he chose the xmp overclocking profile the board asked him if he wants to operate at intel stock specs or not. it was not a confim of the xmp profile.. it was more than that and lifted all the things that kept like the power limits and boost timings and all that. i think its also called multicore enhancement on asus. i recommend not using that stuff and applying settings manually
This video is awesome!!! It will save your tons of time from searching knowledge from internet and another tons of time from understanding them because most of those "knowledge" is unidentified..
My i9600k was stable on 5.1 ghz (all cores) without touching the volts, got lucky I guess. Running Prime95 the asus rog strix went up to 1.2825v on max (6hours) 5.2ghz was fine on 1.35 , but sticking to 5.1 for longevity. ON AIR COOLING! The watercooling would probably just make better thermals, but I believe that 5.2 is the most u get out of this one, 5.3 @ 1.46v would eventually crash.
I have an issue that I can't seem to solve. I'm running a 9600K on a Prime z390-A board, and have manually OC'd to 5GHz @ 1.35V (same exact steps as in this vid). This is perfectly stable and HWMonitor shows me running @ 5GHz at boot. The problem - any stress test I run (AIDA64 and Prime95) down clocks the CPU way low (4.4GHz). I know it is not a throttling issue for 3 reasons; all my temps are extremely low, including my VRMs, wattage consumption isn't exceeding any limit, and when I tried enabling the automated AI utility, it OCs to 5.1GHz and when I run a stress test, it does not down clock, so there IS a setting SOMEWHERE that AI utility adjusts, which prevents the down clock. I highly dislike the AI OC utility, so I'm aiming at doing it all manually. Things I've tried: Disabled AVX offset in case the stress tests utilize AVX Disabled ASUS MultiCore Enhancement Set LLC to max (dangerous I know) Set Short/Long Duration Power Limit to max (4095) Setting manual voltage Setting adaptive voltage Disabling XMP Disabling Intel SmartStep You may say just use the AI utility then, and well, it applies an extremely high voltage (1.45V) and uh, it randomly changes my ratio to 5.4GHz @ 1.55V in the MIDDLE of running games (despite me manually setting it to 5GHz @ 1.3V), which of course crashes my PC and forced me into OS recovery.
Wow ! Just wow . This video is amazing and so well made ! Might be the best video ive watched 2019 (cotaining computer content)! I do have an question that i really hope you can answer ! You were talking about avx programs and im wondering if i should dial down the overclock if im streaming with obs (have no idea if obs is using avx) ? :) Amazing video ! Cheers from sweden. And thank you for teaching others!
So is realbench just broken? I get an error using 2.56 'Unable to property parse system specs. Please report to RealBench forum' however this is reported there already with no response other then it isnt really supported any longer?
This guide helped me decide between Asus and Gigabyte. How long should we "Keep Training" (option shown at the end)? I'm assuming this is a background process that would be running and I'd rather have as little background processes running while I'm doing intense audio/visual editing.
Thanks for the videos..Honestly if i do same like that i can fry eggs on my case..I did completely different and managed to 5.1 ghz all cores plus 4000mhz ddr4 took me a week ...
Thanks for the informative guide, can't wait to receive my 9900k so I can start overclocking with my Hero XI. Will you do a video on the NODE connector and how to connect that to DIY electronics?
Thanks for the kudos. As of right now I say we do not plan a video for Newegg's channel but will most likely do something on our ASUS North America RUclips channel.
SUPER INFORMATIVE. but you put a small tid bit at the bottom of the screen mentioning don't forget to increase the CPU current capability.. Is that the wattage. why is this?
I have the Hero XI (WIFI) and the following RAM G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Intel Z370 / X299 Desktop Memory Model F4-4400C19D-16GTZSW When I use any of the XMP settings I get a MEMOK error, and have to under clock the RAM to 4000mhz in DRAM Frequency. What am I doing wrong? is there anyway to get the XMP working and use the RAMs full potential?
Unlike other "youtube tech celebrities" who just read off from teleprompter with doodling eyes, I particularly enjoy how this gentleman is truly trying to teach you knowledge with his own knowledge. Great work. I learned so much from this video.

I have been researching overclocking for two weeks now and this is one of the most informative and simplified videos I have seen.

I did my first PC build, and I'm able to over clock because of this guy,every thing when perfect at one try, thanks to you🙏🙏🙏
JJ is a true professional and the only tech guy I turn for my builds and hardware/software upgrades. Sorry Linus Tech tips, sorry Gamers Nexus
The best overclocking video on the internet ! Thanks mate
Loving my i7 9700K. Gets the job done ✅
same its a gaming powerhouse
JJ is the reason I started buying ASUS boards way back in 2012! Excellent video :)
This is why I love Asus, their features and intuitive interface and ..... no no no forget all that, I like Asus because they employ THIS guy. lmao
Personally every Asus product I have ever owned has had a defect of some kind, both motherboards, a router and a tablet all had issues or failures.
Juan José Guerrero, muy buen tutorial. Deberías hacer uno en español si es que lo hablas, tienes una manera única y simple de explicar las cosas. Gracias por tu atención.
Finally a proper guide step by step. Thank you sir and Newegg!!
Amazing video, thank you. I'm picking up my 9900K in the mail today, finally!
Cant believe this video is so underrated, you just teached me and encouraged me to OC my new rig, thanks a lot!

Thank you - excellent video - explained my motherboard features much better than a manual!
not sure if this was an advertisement or not.....if it was...please keep making more of them.
Excellent guide! I have yet to get delivery of my new computer but I now have a very good understanding of overclocking. Good job!

Brilliantly informative video, thanks for clearing up some OC mysteries.
This was the vid I needed to see. I am building basically the exact system. Different case and using air cooling. Have never over clocked so I found this to very helpful. Thank you.
Yes, I would appreciate another video about how to tweak RAM. Looks like our computers are identical inside, so this was especially helpful to me.
You should take the time to adjust one value at a time so you know which made your system stable. Use AI Suite in windows to do this quickly. Use 5min prime95 blend after each adjustment. Check the BSOD code for what part of your cpu failed and adjust accordingly.
Absurdly well done tutorial. Well done and thank you.
really best guide out here, thanks a lot! and I really lmao with that easy AI auto clock! what a great app.
Short story:
1. Ramp up multiplier to 50. (leave baseclock alone)
2. Ramp up XMP
3. Ramp up vcore voltage to 1.375 (find minimum with a stress test)
4. If CPU temps are far away from the maximum of 105 degrees celcius, (say 85) then you can ramp up the multiplier more.
Done.
1.375 for 5Ghz is way too high lol.
JJ is the best. Love watching any video he features in
Very informative and easy to follow for a tech noob like me. Got the same motherboard and cpu so this is great. Keep it up!
This was really helpful! Thanks for sharing newegg :)
Intel speedstep is OFF and Manual voltage since 6 years on my i7 4770k. 4.4Ghz 1.25V. Running 24/7. No problems at all.
Very informative, but also coherent and articulate!!
Thanks!!!
Literally Nobody:
JJ: E S S E N T I A L L Y
I watched your video 3 months ago and right now also....plz let us know about how to undo overclocking...plz plz
Most Excellent Video. Keep them coming, Asus/Newegg. We really appreciate it. I will try adding Adaptive V in my OC.

and this is why I only purchase my computer hardware from Newegg for almost 20 years!. These Newegg staff have much integrity!
I ordered from them for the first time and they sent me a motherboard with bent pins. Not the best first experience, but they offered a full refund
First time OCing. Great video. Made it super easy.
Very useful, thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. Here is a tip for multi-camera vid production: live camera switches should be visible to the speaker, so he can switch his attention, with a little turn of the head and eyes. This switching seems not quite right, because the alternate cameras show him talking to someone else, over your shoulder.
Great teacher. Thumbs up man. Thank you!
JJ, once again an excellent video.
the AI was recommended OC 5.2 for me i kept getting blue screened on start up
Tuf yea on the cooler prediction I told the AI to stop learning at a score of 160. My cooler is a beast so it kept getting a better score causing the AI to push the OC. this is on a asus maximus hero Xi WiFi
@@paulfresh AI overclocking isnt as great as manual. Sometimes motherboards use way too mich vcore.

@@emilgallier yes, I'm sure. It was throttling due to temps. 100%

Luis Roberto Barcenas Herrera I get the same
This was an incredible tutorial.

DON'T FORGET if you are going adaptive DO NOT set your power settings in Windows to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE or else the clocks and voltage won't go down!

I don’t understand, I’d i have my windows on maximum performance my stability won’t work? I’ve crashes with the cine thing 4x
I'm using the Asus z390-E. Will that over clock the i7-9700k?
when using the AI do you still use the XMP profile ?
Wow that was awesome. Making me want a 9700k and Asus mobo.
Wooow this is the kind of vídeo i will watch with all my being
You’re a walking legend. Got my 9700k OC’d to 5.0Ghz @ 1.24v stable... now the question I have is adaptive mode.

Why were the power limits not removed?
Maybe auto is enough
cause when he chose the xmp overclocking profile the board asked him if he wants to operate at intel stock specs or not. it was not a confim of the xmp profile.. it was more than that and lifted all the things that kept like the power limits and boost timings and all that. i think its also called multicore enhancement on asus. i recommend not using that stuff and applying settings manually
Memory overclocking vid would be soo useful!
Good Video, could you show us how to overclock RAM and the Timmings?
thanks !!!
Thank you JJ. You r the best!!!
This video is awesome!!! It will save your tons of time from searching knowledge from internet and another tons of time from understanding them because most of those "knowledge" is unidentified..
How about a video on "undervolting" at stock frequency?
My i9600k was stable on 5.1 ghz (all cores) without touching the volts, got lucky I guess. Running Prime95 the asus rog strix went up to 1.2825v on max (6hours) 5.2ghz was fine on 1.35 , but sticking to 5.1 for longevity. ON AIR COOLING!

Amazing video guys thank you for the great advice and information. You guys are the best gotta love Asus they do it right
I have an issue that I can't seem to solve. I'm running a 9600K on a Prime z390-A board, and have manually OC'd to 5GHz @ 1.35V (same exact steps as in this vid). This is perfectly stable and HWMonitor shows me running @ 5GHz at boot. The problem - any stress test I run (AIDA64 and Prime95) down clocks the CPU way low (4.4GHz). I know it is not a throttling issue for 3 reasons; all my temps are extremely low, including my VRMs, wattage consumption isn't exceeding any limit, and when I tried enabling the automated AI utility, it OCs to 5.1GHz and when I run a stress test, it does not down clock, so there IS a setting SOMEWHERE that AI utility adjusts, which prevents the down clock. I highly dislike the AI OC utility, so I'm aiming at doing it all manually.
Things I've tried:
Disabled AVX offset in case the stress tests utilize AVX
Disabled ASUS MultiCore Enhancement
Set LLC to max (dangerous I know)
Set Short/Long Duration Power Limit to max (4095)
Setting manual voltage
Setting adaptive voltage
Disabling XMP
Disabling Intel SmartStep
You may say just use the AI utility then, and well, it applies an extremely high voltage (1.45V) and uh, it randomly changes my ratio to 5.4GHz @ 1.55V in the MIDDLE of running games (despite me manually setting it to 5GHz @ 1.3V), which of course crashes my PC and forced me into OS recovery.
Any luck with this mate? i have the same setup as you
Insanely helpful.
Thx dude you save my life.
Thx for sharing with us.
Wow ! Just wow . This video is amazing and so well made ! Might be the best video ive watched 2019 (cotaining computer content)! I do have an question that i really hope you can answer ! You were talking about avx programs and im wondering if i should dial down the overclock if im streaming with obs (have no idea if obs is using avx) ? :) Amazing video ! Cheers from sweden. And thank you for teaching others!
Damn, 5GHz at essentially 1.2v on a 16 thread cpu. My 4 thread 2500k needs 1.34v (with load line calibration) at 4.4GHz.
Perfect video!
i9 9900k 5,1 ghz at 1.340 volt with full avx
Fabian S fully stable under certain load ? Like games.
So is realbench just broken? I get an error using 2.56 'Unable to property parse system specs. Please report to RealBench forum' however this is reported there already with no response other then it isnt really supported any longer?

Thanks for the videos..Honestly if i do same like that i can fry eggs on my case..I did completely different and managed to 5.1 ghz all cores plus 4000mhz ddr4 took me a week ...
Thank you for this guide .
Very nice, thank you for a fantastic explanation!
Thank you for this very good tutorial!!!
It's like Santa's workshop for geeks behind him, I am jelly.
A RAM oc video will be interesting too!
Really great video.
Thanks for making my pc stable again. Now just need a better cooler 😅
After you rebooted your PC (after the first UEFI BIOS oc) how long did it take to come back on?
Mine was on, but nothing showed on the screen for a solid 30-40 minutes until I safe mode restarted it.
Super job!
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for the informative guide, can't wait to receive my 9900k so I can start overclocking with my Hero XI. Will you do a video on the NODE connector and how to connect that to DIY electronics?
Thanks for the kudos. As of right now I say we do not plan a video for Newegg's channel but will most likely do something on our ASUS North America RUclips channel.
SUPER INFORMATIVE. but you put a small tid bit at the bottom of the screen mentioning don't forget to increase the CPU current capability.. Is that the wattage. why is this?
I have the Hero XI (WIFI) and the following RAM
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4400 (PC4 35200) Intel Z370 / X299 Desktop Memory Model F4-4400C19D-16GTZSW
When I use any of the XMP settings I get a MEMOK error, and have to under clock the RAM to 4000mhz in DRAM Frequency.
What am I doing wrong? is there anyway to get the XMP working and use the RAMs full potential?
