The VCCIN, should be higher. 1.9, 1.95 or even 2.0. The higher the VCCIN is, the less heat the internal regulator makes. The lower it is, the more heat the internal voltage regulator makes. 1.8v is stock. It is more stress on the voltage regulator when it needs to make 1.2v from 1.8, than if it makes 1.2v from 2.0 volt. VCCIN is really important to be stable and higher than any other voltage that regulator is making.

Another thing to remember is the performance in relation to temps. I can get my 6600k to 4.6 with a Max temp of like 74 under full load, but dropping to 4.5 allows a voltage of 1.325 vs 1.375 and drops temps by roughly 10 degrees

Wait what? Can you explaine?, lower clock but higher voltage will have cooler temperature?

​@@ameserich I believe they meant they went from a setup of: (4.6 clock and 1.375 volts, resulting in 74 degrees), to a setup of (4.5 clock and 1.325 volts, resulting in ~64 degrees {this being the 10 degree drop in temp}). So 0.1 clock drop, allowing for a .05 voltage drop, resulting in a 10 degree temp drop.

[@TigTex]

Jay. There is a common misconception about the VID and the VCORE. The VID is the voltage that the cpu is requesting, it doesn't represent the cpu voltage. In fact, that value is useless. The core voltage readout is called VCORE and it is a product of the VID and vdroop (both can be configured on overclockable motherboards). So you set 1.2v on the bios, the VID is 1.2 but actual vcore is different. Other misconception is that any cpu can provide per-core voltage. Only CPUs with a fully integrated voltage regulator can do that. Usually it's only found on Intel haswell, all X99/X299 compatible CPUs and newer mobile parts. Those CPUs use something called VCCIN as voltage input. On all other CPUs, the motherboard is only capable of providing one voltage (called vcore). If you have one core idling and one core at full load, both cores will receive 1.3v (for example). Exception: Deep C-States can disable vcore input per core but if you overclock and let C-States option on auto, C-States are disabled. Use hwinfo64 (sensors only) for more accurate software readings because hwmonitor is not frequently updated

To comment on Jay's "I don't have a stream pc and those are dumb..."(2:34) comment: www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/40fpj0/single_pc_vs_two_system_setup_for_streaming_why/ Certain apps and games don't play nicely with broadcasting software, such as OBS and XSplit (this is also from personal experience with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare [2019] and Apex Legends). Not to mention, when the streamer wants to maximize the total fps of their gameplay (especially without stutter or de-sync), 2-PC setups are still very valid solutions. For streamers who typically play at 60 fps, 1-PC will be perfectly fine as the only thing they need to worry about is V-Sync, which can be addressed by the app or driver settings.

[@Mateotibi]

Hey Jayz really good video! I’ve got a question that I hope you can ask.. the level of adjustment you made is just perfect, balancing the voltage and freq. However, I think another crucial factor here is the room temperature that you did not mention. I mean if you make this tuning during winter, when summer arrives, you could see some crashes when you push your pc, due to the possible 15-20 C difference in the room temps. Same if you tune your pc in summer time, 6 months later you would be able to push your PC harder with the same temps. Did you think about that? Thanks and good job man!

I mean my 3950x got 10,073 at 4.2Ghz stable in cinebench... Highest temp was 73C... Maybe it's time to go amd?

[@MLWJ1993]

For those kind of workloads, obviously yes, at least right now. For gaming it depends on what you play & if it heavily favours Intel or not.

[@JMUDoc]

"Unvolt"? Is that taking *all* the volts away? Also, massively triggered by the off-center webcam. MASSIVELY triggered.

[@venividivici4253]

JMUDoc Ok

[@jak3All3n]

I do this as well to my 10980xe, the only downside to this method is now our Vcore is higher than it needs to be at idle because it's fixed at 1.175v. At stock and idle, the Vcore would normally be below 0.900v. I do not know, and would like to know, if fixing the Vcore like this would cause CPU degradation over time.

[@legoguy217]

Thank you for this video. I was pumping way more voltage into my 9900k than I needed.

[@NeoEletto24]

Hey,how is your voltages now? I'm running 1.295 @ 5.0/4.8 Avx . But if I run Cinebench,it will jump to 95° after 5 minutes. Noctua Nh-U12A cooler here.

[@Khorlane]

[@OldmanDaSnipa13]

I appreciate the help J.. Using Firestrike as a reference.. and your tips for a guide.. ive taken my 7800X from 4.2 oc to 4.7 and come down 14c on overall temps.. and its very stable now.. thanks for everything !!!! :)

[@dkanimates5544]

made it but hey jay when is the next giveaway

[@DPLS77]

Great tutorial. In Cinebench I got up to 12.6°C cooler with a set voltage of 1.2v and 10 less wattage at 4.4ghz. Cinebench score went from 10,687 to 10,937.

[@GabbyTech]

undervolting ?

[@jondonnelly4831]

wee tip for stability testing, run youtube at 4k as well as cinebench r20. I found that instead of taking 20 runs to get a crash, u get it in 5 runs, if your on edge of stability. If you can do 30 runs + youtube 4k I'd be confident system is rock solid.

[@snowhawk4049]

Well you either spend hours to optimize all this settings or just buy AMD and even save some money.

[@bradhaines3142]

CPU yes, GPU not so much. not a very effecient design on that side

[@sabishiihito]

snowhawk you think people don’t do that with AMD CPUs?

[@kendokaaa]

Oh AMD users can also squeeze more performance by tweaking endlessly, difference is AMD's high core count CPUs don't reach stupidly high temperatures. I don't know how many days I've spent so far overclocking my ram

[@subsgob00m]

@@kendokaaa Yeah, and AMD CPUs are clocked pretty close to their limits out of the box (at least for 3000 series CPUs). As long as you have a decent cooler or AIO you are more limited by safe voltages than by temps, sort of the opposite with Intel CPUs currently. Memory overclocking, on the other hand, provides much more benefit on an AMD system than Intel and can take ages to tweak to perfection. I think I spent nearly 3 weeks tweaking my b-die sticks to 3733MT/s (my infinity fabric isn't happy with 3800) at 14-11-13-13-28-35-248 timings (CL-RP-rRCD-wRCD-RAS-RC-RFC) at 1.5v. Tuning every single setting one-by-one, testing for hours on end after every single change, finding the absolute lowest values that would run stably. It's not that much performance to be gained in the end, but I like tweaking everything in my PC and the gain to 1% lows in games was worth it.

[@pilotavery]

@@kendokaaa you don't have to though, you can just turn on precision boost overdrive on 3000 series which is actually based off their server chip which means it has air correction code built in and doesn't actually crash the computer when there is a fault. It actually will automatically overclock itself until it becomes unstable and then underclock a tiny bit and then undervolt itself until it becomes unstable and then increases voltage a little bit. There is a reason why AMD CPUs actually produce a lot of heat the first two or three hours of operation as well as run at a slightly slower clock speed. It actually takes time for the CPU to learn its limits.

[@WeCreativeFew]

Thank you very much Jay I feel much more confident now about how to over clock after that video. Greatly appreciated good sir.

I don't know if you have made the video before but could you make a video explaining all the settings for overclocking more? Like what we would want to lower and what we would want to raise and what settings that don't need to be touched.

[@Cichlid_Visuals]

damn, my 3950x on AIR, in an ITX CASE runs cooler and scores damn near the same on R20.

[@nathankey2007]

I did not realize that putting power settings at "Balanced" would allow my core clocks to lower when not in use (or low utilization). Thanks for the help! This dropped idle temps from about 36 to 33 degrees C.

[@jak3All3n]

Balanced power plan is great for saving power but be aware that if you game, sometimes setting your power plan to High can eliminate stutters that were there when in Balanced mode.

It makes sense for the bios since you need a capture card, but for everything in Windows there are a bajillion ways to capture in software.

undervolting is amazing when it comes to temps. I wasn't able to overclock my surface pro 2 back in the day but I was able to undervolt 25%. That led to more performance because the cpu would stay boosted permanently.

Hey everyone , I have watched 50+ videos re arranging bios settings and tried many softwares but nothing worked for the past 3 weeks as i person who has received a new pc i was worried but after wasting my time on all of these videos , I went to my guy who build my pc and he changed the orientation of my cpu cooler fan. My cpu on idle ( 60°C ) and under load ( 100°C ) went to 25°C on idle and 60°C under load . Hope this helped ❤❤❤❤
