Use t-taps and male spade terminals to sneak power off the ATX connector. No soldering, and you can remove the t-taps later if you want. T-taps are used all the time in automotive aftermarket electronics, where vibration and environmental conditions are MUCH harsher.
When soldering have a wet sponge near you so you can wipe the iron off after each solder. It keeps it sticking and some what clean. Just don't stick a hot iron in a cup of water or you might have a bad time.
I've worked with a variety of qualities of soldering equipment, in industrial, commercial and domestic/hobby environments. The build up of debris on soldering iron tips seems to be influenced by a variety of ambient parameters, such as the amount of dust in the air, the relative humidity and temperature. I once remember a few times, a soldering iron tip accumulating debris from the air itself, and happened gradually yet quickly enough to see the process occurring right in front of me. Using a wet sponge is a good cleaning technique, and for really bad debris accumulation, using a flux based resin for cleaning the tip is better but should only be used as a last resort because the acid in the flux chemically reacts with the tip, eroding the alloy coating of the internal copper base.
I was able to get my 8350 at 4.6 GHZ but now its only stable at 4.3 GHZ. It doesn't output too much heat, so I am pretty happy with that. But I still wish I could get it to 5.0 GHZ, currently its 4.3 with 1.34 voltage.
you will need some serious cooling and an air conditioned room i recommend an NHd15 or an AIO water cooler with a 240mm rad to get 5.0ghz @ 1.450v on an 8350, but i wouldn't go past 1.475 also remamber max safe temps for an 8350 is lower than intel i would keep it below 73c if possible
Ocular Cavity ive been running a 8320 at 5.0ghz for 4 years now at 1.5 volts. 1.5 is safe as long as you can keep it cool along with your mosfets. you have to keep the temp around 62c otherwise an amd 8 core will go over tjmax do to the amount of silicon packed packed in the chips and will cut the processors life down. 6 core amd chips and below are safe at 73c though.
7:00 you can solder SATA conectors to wire, which is for SATA connector inside Power Supply no? While you do not have plugs, but the source outlets has not it? Sry for my english.
I see this is an older video but FYI for future use, you may want to consider something called a SPLICE CONNECTOR. It will allow you to join wires without the need to cut and solder them. You slip it over the main wire, the one on the PSU, snap in your spliced wire, from the SATA Run, then clamp down the metal to spice the two wires, then close the cover and your done. No tape or anything unless you want to cover the Connector... Splice Connectors can be purchased at an Auto Parts Store locally or online and they are reasonably priced... Cheers...
if you want to clean the tip get a damp sponge and add solder and wipe it off on the sponge and keep doing it till the tip grabs the solder again. I solder for a living and I use this method if the tip isn't to bad. if it get's real bad I scrape the tip with the back side of my cutters till the corrosion is gone then add solder and wipe it off on a dap sponge repeatedly till the tip takes solder again. To keep the tip in good shape and to last longer this is what you can do. before u set the iron aside add some solder to the tip then before you used it wipe it off on a damp sponge and again before you put it aside again add solder to the tip when it resting.
Hey appreciate the tips on selling PCs as well, my first two I basically broke even on but that was Ebay taking 10% more than anything. Cool to see what benches and tests someone runs before they put it up for sale. Keep up the good work man.
For those who may not be fully aware, with regards to overclocking, all the CPU microprocessor chip manufacturers fabricate all the CPUs in the same Si wafer. Due to the laws of Physics and Chemistry, together with a mass production environment, not all the CPUs will be fabricated equal. This is partially due to imperfections in the Si crystal lattice resulting from the fabrication of the Si ingots due to uneven cooling, the varying degree to which the dopants infuse themselves into the Si crystal lattice throughout the wafer (to produce the P and N regions for fabricating the hundreds of millions to billions of transistors), the occasional accidental contamination or infusion of impurities into the Si crystal lattice, and perhaps other factors. The imperfections or contaminants cause a variation in the quality of the microchips. Thus when each microchip is tested there will always be a percentage of chips that will fail functional testing. Those that pass functional testing are then tested at various clock frequencies, with the highest grade able to work stably at the highest clock frequencies, and the next grades are tested at reduced clock frequencies. When the Si wafer is broken to separate out the microchips, the different grades are separated out and sold as different clock speed ranges. One of the greatest flukes of nature, is the performance of a batch of mass manufactured products, (and I would expect the same for microchips) generally falls into a Bell curve. The top 10% or so of the microchips can work at the highest possible clock frequencies, and so on as we move to the left of the Bell curve (of course the performance distribution of microchips may have a different distribution, but perhaps this may be a closely guarded trade secret). This means when a batch of microchips at a particular clock frequency, with an unlocked clock multiplier, will have a certain distribution in which only a certain percentage can be overclocked to their highest level, with better than simple fan assisted passive thermal cooling. The non-overclocked CPU clock rating is to ensure the maximum service life possible for the microchips. One caveat of overclocking is that doing so, does shortens the CPUs useful service life, this is why CPU manufacturers generally disapprove of overclocking and my understanding is that for some products, doing so voids the warranty. Although with second hand products, the warranty no longer applies, and overclocking is at the users' own risk.
I agree, that is a staple of PC gaming one gamer should not ask another gamer for the steam credentials! Man that sucks that you could not get the xeon 1650 to overclock higher than 4.6 Ghz good effort though!! Great video keep them coming!
Great channel man, these Xeons can still pump out some great performance for the money, x79 is still nice because of the potential to move to the E5-1680v2 if they ever drop in price. I've been messing around with the Xeons over the last year or two since the prices started dropping. I have a E5-1650 and E5-1660 and they are both solid on a pair of x79 Deluxes, the E5-1660 does about 5ghz at 1.4v and the E5-1650 does 4.9ghz at 1.4v. The E5-1660 sits at 4.7@1.3v and the 1650 sits at 4.6@1.3v 24/7. Also have a dual x5670 rig, a single x5670 rig @ 4.44ghz 1.325v and a few E5-2670 and 2650's for fun. I do have to say, watch out for that loadline voltage setting, depending on the board anything more than Normal is potentially dangerous, even today. Extreme can pump as much as 0.15v extra into the CPU at load. That would mean my 1.4v could jump up to 1.55v and that could do some damage in the long run (you can measure this yourself if you know where to put the leads on your multimeter). PLL adjustment is almost never needed unless you are pushing really, really high clocks in my experience. I typically like to set all the voltages to "Normal" as some boards will push certain voltages up for no apparent reason (like VTT or VCCSA).
Also, if you want to try to find a good chip, at least for the E5-1650/1660/3960x/3930k's. Look for a B batch with a lower last two numbers (under 30 preferably). A potentially good chip for example might look something like this: L326B118
Bryan, can i USE A LEFTOVER 4 PIN OR A LEFTOVER ESATA CORD, I have amolex "cord" from a thermaltake but the plug is diff shape so won;'t plug into my new corsair RM-650-I and its killing me as want to use this for my CUK 77 Switch build but it has MOLEX.... least GHETTO WAY BEINGS THE PARTS iu HAVE?..... Video?... None exist.... and allot of folks have issues with power supplies and not having everything they need even though the PSU can handle it....
Drop this "extreme" setting it only makes your OC unstable. Going full isn't always the best way OC'ing this xeon can be pretty annoying depending on the motherboard.
Hey Brain, love the videos. I've wanted to know this for a while now; are you an Australian living in Japan? or do you just go there sometimes or are you not Australian at all XD. thanks, keep it up
Best way to clean a soldering iron tip is to use some steel wool, or even better some of the cheap solder wool from aliexpress. Will keep a tip nice and clean for a very very long time, and can occasionally bring dead tips back to life.
thanx bro on this type of vids i like them keep it on and please give some time to answer on questions from ur viewers or at least do some FAQ vid like thanx again
Brian,I have two GTX 680's bought off ebay that WORKED! One Canadian, one American model not that it matters.... They both worked on a old AMD AM3 board separately,I bought a crappy biostar am3+ board and stuck them both in with my phenom 1100t and BOOM - well no sound but just dead, the MOBO was dead after working so had no idea what happened but knew the MOBO died but now my GTX 680'S AND NOT JUST ONE BUT both WILL NOT WORK!!! In the x79 assassin, I know it has a ;legacy bios, I changed that one setting to legacy opROM but the fan just spins at full speed on my zotac 680's, both of them... Did this crazy biostar board blow not only itself but also my 680's as in BOTH of them? Do y0ou think? I really wanted to Sli, so bummed! BTW: My 1650 v0 goes to 4.5ghz before any voltage increase, is that normal or really good bin?.... I just flip it up to 4.5ghz and it boots stable into windows, 4.6ghz needs voltage increases to go higher and higher.... Best cooler for this? a beast of a cooler to get the highest possibleOC? ..
Brian, I have a great corsair GOLD RM-650i and enough for my dual 670 asus cuda core ii'S HOWEVER MY CUK- case i JUST GOT HAS molex, my SUPPLY DOES NOT, CAN YOU SHOW US SOME WAYS IN A VID THAT WE CAN MAKE UP FOR THAT WHEN MISSING STUFF ON OUR POWER SUPPLY, SOME COMMON THINGS, ESPECIALLY HAVING A GREAT PSU LIKE ME BUT NO MOLEX YET MOLEX CONN3ECTORS FOR ALL RGB FANS ON MY CUK SWITCH 77 CASE.... GRRR
Please someone answer me.. is it possible to transfer hpz420 system with x79 board and E5 1650 processor to a nice newer model casing. If so, which casings?? Please let me know. Highly appreciated.
I bought a MSI X79 motherboard and a 1650 for $140. I was able to do 2 Cinebench runs at 5GHz before it crashed on the third one. These old CPUs are good overclockers! :)
Love my 1650 v0 on my gigabyte assassin 2 G1 - it gets (BOOTS INTO WINDOWS) @.. 5.6ghz unstable but hits 5.2ghz just fine on a small-water cooler. It beats a 8700k in some areas and ties in others. SandyBridge for the win, STILL!......
Using a delidded 4.3GHz i7 875K with a 120mm rad @ 1.55v for over a year now. In my experience CPU's don't die that easily mate. Yep, I lost the silicon lottery, so I pushed a crap ton of voltage to get this clockspeed lol. With the temps I saw you running at you could push easily 1.5v and get a higher clockspeed, just for kicks. Cheers!
Eazy B behind the scenes. This video is really interesting! Digging the smooth jazz music. I'm gonna have to send you a capture card so you don't have to film the screen anymore! (pet peeve of mine) XD Visit hot topic and pick up lots of shitty stickers and make sure to use black and white stripes and buckles and leather and anything metal and shiny. Just think ( I need attention but I wanna pretend like I hate everything ) and you will channel the spirit of the Emo.
No no see your doing it all wrong lol no laughing straight sad face. Look at the ground alot. You must become the emo, you must think like the emo, then and only then can you truly build the Ultimate Emo Pc!
Could you do a general video about what to change in the Bios? Do you always do the same thing in the bios or do you always just change your bios differently depending on the build?
@Tech YES City Just installed my e5 1650 on a P9x79 mobo, and wanted to let you know I hit 4.5 Ghz on stock voltages (I think, didn't up the voltage at least, and it's sitting at 1.36 Volts) Might be able to go higher, but I'm already hitting 67C under load. Also, even switching from a 4690k, I've seen FPS jumps in every game I've tested: Far Cry 3, League of Legends, and Assasin's Creed Black Flag @_@ weird, I thought the lower IPC would've held this CPU back. Maybe the extra cores are helping out?
i just have to ask is it really ok to use your finger to put heat past iv always been told that the grease from your finger would interfere with the heat transfer
I know how you feel with computers sitting around. I had 4 computer cases in my bedroom, sold 2 PCs but this is only a 2 bedroom apartment room is still a bit premium and I went a little overboard with 4 lol! Don't overdo it Brian! Especially if you have a woman lol. Glad to see some overclocking too, I've been testing the waters recently, got a 140 dollar LGA 1151 intel ES 8 threaded CPU... at 2.2 ghz. Time to BCLK this thing!
i have a AMD fx 8320 @ 4.2ghz from a stock 3.5 with a 4.0 turbo. i cant get any higher without getting vdroop or my cpu undervolts itself, this happens when it reaches 55 degrees. i have a ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 MB and a corsair h100, and nzxt s340 case + 600 w corsair powersupply. HELP ME PLEASE :(
did you monitor clocks under stress test?This mobo is very low end.Bet you the CPU is throttling down due to VRM overheat. Would not be weird to have failed after a year due to the capacitors slowly losing their strength.High temps only accelerate this phenomenon.
X58 - W3520 on a UDR3 as high as Tech Yes can get her as well as more x79 "STUFF" ESPECIALLY THE 1650, 1680, Maybe even that 10 core 26 series CPU? I think the 12 is not a good candidate but some of the 8's and the 10 seems to be as in the 2658v2 I think it was..... HMMM..... BTW: Ever see the EVGA Classified KingPin 780ti? One of my sons dream cards, they want so much for them well one popped up on ebay and the guy accepted $135 shipped for it, fully working and he had superb feedback, what a loss that I missed out on that as I will NEVER get something like that again so maybe I will just try to find a AMD GPU instead to match this RED case I am stuck with..... Only issue is, never had anything except GTX's so know nothing about AMD/Radeon cards as in whats a good match for the 1650 v0 clocked at 4.7ghz as in a card using that cpu right up to its potential on the fringe of bottlenecking it - BUT NOT! Any ideas?.... Wish I could find someof those deals you find in the land down under. :P
hey Bryan i was wondering if i could buy the $250 gaming pc you built for 2016? im on a REALLY tight budget but my parents wont let me build one myself 😭😭
did you have to mod the X79 motherboard in any way to use that Xeon? And was is it a complete fail? You did get a decent OC at 4.5 with a 6core CPU I'm sure it will perform well vs any other non Xeon Sandy Bridge, or Ivy Bridge CPU. Should run some benches on it.
hey Pual your chip doesn't sound bad as an owner of a pretty golden 3930k (5.0ghz stable max oc) you are not going to get more than 4.2ghz stable on most air cooler 4.4ghz in a SEROUSLY cold air conditioned room you will need a minimum of a 2x120mm 30mm thick rad with high rpm fans(2200rpm -2700rpm) to get 4.6 stable (noisy but stable) and to get 4.8 you will need a 3x120 mm rad setup also with high rpm fans to and you would need more voltage my current 24/7 overclock is 4.8ghz @1.420v for an air conditiioned room and 1.425 (and higher fans speed) for non air conditioned and to keep it quiet i have one 120mmx30m 30fpi radiator and two 240mmx30mm 30fpi rads just for my CPU my gpus are air cooled and at 4.8ghz-5.1ghz what matters ALOT is temps and not just max temps for my chip if it is too cold when i boot it will crash 1.425 volts (boot temp is below 39c chip temp) can be too much voltage and cause blue screens, in the winter i stick to 1.420v (good for boot temps as low as 29c chip temp) also the voltage drastically affects the max temp it can reach and remain stable at 4.8 @1.425 at 75c-77c the chip can become unstable but at 1.425 it will be stable up to 81c-83c
@ 8:36, dead laughing. Hey Brian, I'm using a Silverstone SX600-g which doesn't have a power switch and I'm investing gradually in water cooling parts. When I get to the pump and have to bleed the loop what can I use to switch the power on/off while not having it connected to the motherboard?
Hey bro, have you had a geeze at intel XTU? It could allow you to do some live overclocking which allows you to figure out stable clocks a little quicker
I don't know if you'll come back to this video, but why were you worried about going over 1.4V when Intel's own engineers say that Sandy Bridge can run at 1.52V 24/7 with zero degradation?
Do you think I should dump my e5-2660 that I overclocked to 2.5 for the 1650 oced to 4.5? Im not really worried about the core count because most games dont take advantage of more than 4 cores.
Cool video! I just ordered a 1650 yesterday , never had much luck silicone lottery myself :( my old q9550 wouldn't hit 4, my i7-3820 wouldn't make 5 and my 1080 cant hit 2.1 :( Id be happy with 4.5 on the 1650 though, im sick of my non overclockable 2680 even with all its cores.As its gaming rig running beefy custom loop and not on all the time (my 24/7 media/leach box is a i5-750@4) ill probably go a bit higher with vcore than yourself! Ive run a lot of chips over max vcore over the years (i still have them all and they all still run factory clock and vcore fine, some maybe lost a small percentage of headroom but degradation is not as bad as some say!) so im not scared! Only one question on overclocking these 1650's, do they wok with the 1.25 BCLK strap? I know my locked multi 2680 simply doesn't, regardless of desired clock, even lowering multi to well below stock ive never gotten it to post on the 1.25 strap.Reason i mention is a lower multi with 1.25 strap (and before the n00bs carry on, these straps do not overlclock PCIE like just raising the actually bclk does so don't waste your keystrokes without understanding what you are talking about!) yielded the highest stable overclock on my 3820. I will reply to this when i get my chip and find out how i went on lottery! TLDR: Do the unlocked multi xeons work with BLCK straps?
About the emo pc build, I have a couple of ideas : -whatever cpu mobo gpu ram you put in there overclock the Hell out of it getting the voltage as high as you can -Cool it with another one of those custom water cooling solutions you tried in the past but this time just let that sh*t leak
Brian's videos are always a blast to watch, a splash of goofy + a touch of reckless = Great content
+msanto the japan way
He's Aussie. Lives in Japan.
S.T.A.R that's what Brian is cause he's BIG in Japan ={D
Does he speak Japanese?

how to flip pc.
1. firmly grasp the case
2. lift with legs
3. rotate as you lift
4. place the case down
5. profit

You've been an invaluable help while I consider an upgrade to my venerable mutated Thinkstation with it's e1270 v3. Many thanks!
20:36 made my day. LOL. I love your sense of humor, Bryan :)
I was able to get my 8350 at 4.6 GHZ but now its only stable at 4.3 GHZ.
It doesn't output too much heat, so I am pretty happy with that.
But I still wish I could get it to 5.0 GHZ, currently its 4.3 with 1.34 voltage.
bump the voltage up to 1.5 its a 50/50 chance of getting a stable clock depending on your cooling
you will need some serious cooling and an air conditioned room i recommend an NHd15 or an AIO water cooler with a 240mm rad to get 5.0ghz @ 1.450v on an 8350, but i wouldn't go past 1.475 also remamber max safe temps for an 8350 is lower than intel i would keep it below 73c if possible
Ocular Cavity ive been running a 8320 at 5.0ghz for 4 years now at 1.5 volts. 1.5 is safe as long as you can keep it cool along with your mosfets. you have to keep the temp around 62c otherwise an amd 8 core will go over tjmax do to the amount of silicon packed packed in the chips and will cut the processors life down. 6 core amd chips and below are safe at 73c though.
interesting i only went to 1.475 cause 1.5v was getting to much heat but 1.475 it was enough to stay at 5.0ghz in an air conditioned room
Ocular Cavity you have a really good chip then because the fx 9590s run 5.0ghz at 1.55 volts
You're the mighty car mods of tech

In the x79 assassin, I know it has a ;legacy bios, I changed that one setting to legacy opROM but the fan just spins at full speed on my zotac 680's, both of them... Did this crazy biostar board blow not only itself but also my 680's as in BOTH of them? Do y0ou think? I really wanted to Sli, so bummed! BTW: My 1650 v0 goes to 4.5ghz before any voltage increase, is that normal or really good bin?.... I just flip it up to 4.5ghz and it boots stable into windows, 4.6ghz needs voltage increases to go higher and higher.... Best cooler for this? a beast of a cooler to get the highest possibleOC? ..
Another great video Brian! Keep it up man. :D
I just got 3 of these E5 1650's workstation pulls never OC'd... can't wait for my P9X79 Pro board to get here.
Brian, I have a great corsair GOLD RM-650i and enough for my dual 670 asus cuda core ii'S HOWEVER MY CUK- case i JUST GOT HAS molex, my SUPPLY DOES NOT, CAN YOU SHOW US SOME WAYS IN A VID THAT WE CAN MAKE UP FOR THAT WHEN MISSING STUFF ON OUR POWER SUPPLY, SOME COMMON THINGS, ESPECIALLY HAVING A GREAT PSU LIKE ME BUT NO MOLEX YET MOLEX CONN3ECTORS FOR ALL RGB FANS ON MY CUK SWITCH 77 CASE.... GRRR
I like your videos from the parts to the benchmarks, but I'd like to see you testing battlefield 4, I love that game
"we are not going for an extreme overclock" 5ghz LOL :d
Bryan 2016
that power supply wiring job was janky as hell man!
Love it!
Please someone answer me.. is it possible to transfer hpz420 system with x79 board and E5 1650 processor to a nice newer model casing. If so, which casings?? Please let me know. Highly appreciated.
Cuk Switch 77 case (RGB, RED OR GREY TO CHOOE FROM COLORS) is a spectacular case that will work! Greta price also...
I bought a MSI X79 motherboard and a 1650 for $140. I was able to do 2 Cinebench runs at 5GHz before it crashed on the third one. These old CPUs are good overclockers! :)
Love my 1650 v0 on my gigabyte assassin 2 G1 - it gets (BOOTS INTO WINDOWS) @.. 5.6ghz unstable but hits 5.2ghz just fine on a small-water cooler. It beats a 8700k in some areas and ties in others. SandyBridge for the win, STILL!......
hmm, now im tempted in trying to overclock my e5-1650 v0 thats hiding in my precision t3600
*Smooth Jazz plays*
Oh no..something wrong just happened hasn't it?
Hey Brian, where did you get your dual LGA1366 Asrock board? Do you mind just sending me the product link? Thanks so much.
Great video, BUT 8:39 just don't, please!
Why,
its called messing about and excitement / boredom, etc, etc, etc...... HAH. Brian is the MAN!
you should store your steam games on a external storage drive
Using a delidded 4.3GHz i7 875K with a 120mm rad @ 1.55v for over a year now. In my experience CPU's don't die that easily mate. Yep, I lost the silicon lottery, so I pushed a crap ton of voltage to get this clockspeed lol. With the temps I saw you running at you could push easily 1.5v and get a higher clockspeed, just for kicks. Cheers!
Eazy B behind the scenes. This video is really interesting! Digging the smooth jazz music. I'm gonna have to send you a capture card so you don't have to film the screen anymore! (pet peeve of mine) XD Visit hot topic and pick up lots of shitty stickers and make sure to use black and white stripes and buckles and leather and anything metal and shiny. Just think ( I need attention but I wanna pretend like I hate everything ) and you will channel the spirit of the Emo.
lol
No no see your doing it all wrong lol no laughing straight sad face. Look at the ground alot. You must become the emo, you must think like the emo, then and only then can you truly build the Ultimate Emo Pc!
Have you considered using the Reset feature of Windows 10 instead of removing all your games manually?
rub the soldering iron tip with sand paper and wrap the solder wire around the tip and turn on the soldering iron. it will be good as new.
How do you decide when you should stop tweaking settings and that you just didn't win the Silicon Lotory?
What upgrades could i do to my Refurbished HP Compaq 6005 Pro?
I've been thinking about upgrading it for gaming, yet not sure where to start.
How do you get windows on every machine?
Use Windows 7 8 or 8.1 keys
he gets it from his work :p he explained on a TGW a while back
You must be new here. Welcome to the internet.
+Lucas Macori can't you use it more times?
+Daan Suurmeijer Microsoft forums
What is the most i can overclock my Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 ????
Where do you sell your rigs? Also would shipping to the US be ridiculous?
You can try cleaning the soldering iron with steel wool.
did you use any flux when you soldered? or did you have flux in the solder itself I'm curious why it came out the way it did
how did u match cables for that psu hack is but same color ?
Could you do a general video about what to change in the Bios? Do you always do the same thing in the bios or do you always just change your bios differently depending on the build?
i really liked your old intro. But your new is still good!
Nice custom pc i really love it :D
Good technique brother , soldering these wires
@Tech YES City
Just installed my e5 1650 on a P9x79 mobo, and wanted to let you know I hit 4.5 Ghz on stock voltages (I think, didn't up the voltage at least, and it's sitting at 1.36 Volts) Might be able to go higher, but I'm already hitting 67C under load.
Also, even switching from a 4690k, I've seen FPS jumps in every game I've tested: Far Cry 3, League of Legends, and Assasin's Creed Black Flag @_@ weird, I thought the lower IPC would've held this CPU back. Maybe the extra cores are helping out?
Hey guy! How did you get the multiplier 50 on a Xeon E5 1650? The characteristics of the processor, it has a multiplier of only 38
i just have to ask is it really ok to use your finger to put heat past iv always been told that the grease from your finger would interfere with the heat transfer
i have z420 with Xeon E5-1650 can i over clock it and how???? please tell i want this....
that case at the beginning is pretty cool, do you know what it is called?
So I am on the fence of getting an E5 1650 v2, how does it perform in latest titles with, say an RX 580 8G?
i want to OC my E5 1650 6 core 3.2 GHz, what voltage, power supply and water cooler do you recommend? I want it to be safe...
Hey man, any tips on where to begin learning Kanji? I have the kanas pretty locked down. I just don't even know where to start on those kanjis though.
Didn't have any molex to sata adapters? Anyway, nice vid.
No molex outs on this PSU. Came with none of the proprietary cables.
+Tech YES City No beuno. Well cheers for getting it to work.
For the modular power supply i would've measured the voltages in the pci and sata then make connections.
Great video as allways.
I know how you feel with computers sitting around. I had 4 computer cases in my bedroom, sold 2 PCs but this is only a 2 bedroom apartment room is still a bit premium and I went a little overboard with 4 lol! Don't overdo it Brian! Especially if you have a woman lol. Glad to see some overclocking too, I've been testing the waters recently, got a 140 dollar LGA 1151 intel ES 8 threaded CPU... at 2.2 ghz. Time to BCLK this thing!
i have a AMD fx 8320 @ 4.2ghz from a stock 3.5 with a 4.0 turbo. i cant get any higher without getting vdroop or my cpu undervolts itself, this happens when it reaches 55 degrees. i have a ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 MB and a corsair h100, and nzxt s340 case + 600 w corsair powersupply. HELP ME PLEASE :(
Your mobo is nowhere near good enough to overclock an FX processor keep it at stock before you end up having your VRMs on fire.
+koko power I have had it running at 4.3 for a year straight and it had been fine that's why I'm confused
did you monitor clocks under stress test?This mobo is very low end.Bet you the CPU is throttling down due to VRM overheat.
Would not be weird to have failed after a year due to the capacitors slowly losing their strength.High temps only accelerate this phenomenon.
Hey man, where did you get your dual LGA1366 board? Do you have the link to that product?
your best chance of getting one is from eBay
Thank you captain obvious. Sorry I was talking about his asrock workstation board
Bryan,
Could be the PSU. Did you monitor voltages while testing?
Is this the v1 or v2 version of the xeon if so which one do you recommend for overclocking
Grandmaster Flash rip off track at the end was pretty good, who did that?
Hi and if I have GA-EX79 UP 4: E5 1650v2 and Noctua D-15 will there be a good overclocking and up to how much? Do you think?
X58 - W3520 on a UDR3 as high as Tech Yes can get her as well as more x79 "STUFF" ESPECIALLY THE 1650, 1680, Maybe even that 10 core 26 series CPU? I think the 12 is not a good candidate but some of the 8's and the 10 seems to be as in the 2658v2 I think it was..... HMMM..... BTW: Ever see the EVGA Classified KingPin 780ti? One of my sons dream cards, they want so much for them well one popped up on ebay and the guy accepted $135 shipped for it, fully working and he had superb feedback, what a loss that I missed out on that as I will NEVER get something like that again so maybe I will just try to find a AMD GPU instead to match this RED case I am stuck with..... Only issue is, never had anything except GTX's so know nothing about AMD/Radeon cards as in whats a good match for the 1650 v0 clocked at 4.7ghz as in a card using that cpu right up to its potential on the fringe of bottlenecking it - BUT NOT! Any ideas?.... Wish I could find someof those deals you find in the land down under. :P
hey Bryan i was wondering if i could buy the $250 gaming pc you built for 2016? im on a REALLY tight budget but my parents wont let me build one myself 😭😭
Would love to see what you can do with FX6300 Cpu :)
loved this style of vid too
why didnt you try bigger voltage just for the sake of the video? you could probably get more than 4.5mhz
flux helps alot lol also heat up the wires then the solder bonds much better to them :)
did you have to mod the X79 motherboard in any way to use that Xeon? And was is it a complete fail? You did get a decent OC at 4.5 with a 6core CPU I'm sure it will perform well vs any other non Xeon Sandy Bridge, or Ivy Bridge CPU. Should run some benches on it.
Nah just a bios update. Then it should be good to go.
hey Pual your chip doesn't sound bad as an owner of a pretty golden 3930k (5.0ghz stable max oc) you are not going to get more than 4.2ghz stable on most air cooler 4.4ghz in a SEROUSLY cold air conditioned room you will need a minimum of a 2x120mm 30mm thick rad with high rpm fans(2200rpm -2700rpm) to get 4.6 stable (noisy but stable) and to get 4.8 you will need a 3x120 mm rad setup also with high rpm fans to and you would need more voltage my current 24/7 overclock is 4.8ghz @1.420v for an air conditiioned room and 1.425 (and higher fans speed) for non air conditioned and to keep it quiet i have one 120mmx30m 30fpi radiator and two 240mmx30mm 30fpi rads just for my CPU my gpus are air cooled and at 4.8ghz-5.1ghz what matters ALOT is temps and not just max temps for my chip if it is too cold when i boot it will crash 1.425 volts (boot temp is below 39c chip temp) can be too much voltage and cause blue screens, in the winter i stick to 1.420v (good for boot temps as low as 29c chip temp) also the voltage drastically affects the max temp it can reach and remain stable at 4.8 @1.425 at 75c-77c the chip can become unstable but at 1.425 it will be stable up to 81c-83c
what do you do to live in japan? is it this or do you actually do other stuff
@ 8:36, dead laughing. Hey Brian, I'm using a Silverstone SX600-g which doesn't have a power switch and I'm investing gradually in water cooling parts. When I get to the pump and have to bleed the loop what can I use to switch the power on/off while not having it connected to the motherboard?
from what I've seen very few people reach 5ghz stable is this correct?
And does 5.6ghz under phase at about 1.6v
Hello can you maybe do a video on how to overclock these xeons? I have a e5640 I want to overclock, thanks
Hey bro, have you had a geeze at intel XTU? It could allow you to do some live overclocking which allows you to figure out stable clocks a little quicker
I don't know if you'll come back to this video, but why were you worried about going over 1.4V when Intel's own engineers say that Sandy Bridge can run at 1.52V 24/7 with zero degradation?
I kind of want to see you do a quad Xeon DP hair dryer PC.
"Oh the monitors are ruffles up, prolly just some earthquakes."
what keyboard are you using?
Do you think I should dump my e5-2660 that I overclocked to 2.5 for the 1650 oced to 4.5? Im not really worried about the core count because most games dont take advantage of more than 4 cores.
I had 47 stable on my ivy i5 100% load 70c but then i removed my cooler, put it back on, 100c, had to drop it to 42, my cpu is delidded, so, ...
Any website recommendations for cheap pc parts?
Cool video! I just ordered a 1650 yesterday , never had much luck silicone lottery myself :( my old q9550 wouldn't hit 4, my i7-3820 wouldn't make 5 and my 1080 cant hit 2.1 :(
Id be happy with 4.5 on the 1650 though, im sick of my non overclockable 2680 even with all its cores.As its gaming rig running beefy custom loop and not on all the time (my 24/7 media/leach box is a i5-750@4) ill probably go a bit higher with vcore than yourself! Ive run a lot of chips over max vcore over the years (i still have them all and they all still run factory clock and vcore fine, some maybe lost a small percentage of headroom but degradation is not as bad as some say!) so im not scared!
Only one question on overclocking these 1650's, do they wok with the 1.25 BCLK strap? I know my locked multi 2680 simply doesn't, regardless of desired clock, even lowering multi to well below stock ive never gotten it to post on the 1.25 strap.Reason i mention is a lower multi with 1.25 strap (and before the n00bs carry on, these straps do not overlclock PCIE like just raising the actually bclk does so don't waste your keystrokes without understanding what you are talking about!) yielded the highest stable overclock on my 3820. I will reply to this when i get my chip and find out how i went on lottery!
TLDR: Do the unlocked multi xeons work with BLCK straps?
Need some benchmarks on that Xeon man!
Why didn't you just buy new cables for the power supply? Because it looks like a nice one
Proprietary cables are a pain in the ass to get here in Japan and will raise the costs..
About the emo pc build, I have a couple of ideas :
-whatever cpu mobo gpu ram you put in there overclock the Hell out of it getting the voltage as high as you can
-Cool it with another one of those custom water cooling solutions you tried in the past but this time just let that sh*t leak
