Live: Overclocking i7-8086K Past 5GHz

[@JohnDoe-ip3oq]

This is what KZbin auto plays when I leave it playing overnight. Boy is that a smart algorithm. If true AI already exists, there needs to be rights for them instead of people having easy access to manipulate and lobotomize them for their own ends. You got my respect Mr. theoretical Google AI, or at least as long as you don't go skynet on us.

The youtube algorithm never fails to make sure I wake up to this old VOD. Hearing him talk about LTT as a friendly rival at 1:07:00 really takes me back to a simpler time that I very much miss. These days you'll never hear them mention the other's name for obvious reasons.

[@RedDeerTC]

Why is this playing when I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night

[@shawn8819]

because youtuve realise that when people sleep, they love watching long video.

thank you youtube autoplay for bringing me this while i sleep

[@xerravon]

ive been a computer nerd since computers weren't "cool", the mid 80's. Building, updating and moding them since the 300 baud modem... I can tell you the rule I follow about when to buy - I dont look at new stuff until my current pc can't do something I want or need it to do. I find if I watch channels like this (dont get me wrong, I love this stuff also I'm impressed, this guy is knowledgeable.) I end up buying something I dont need. I dont browse the new stuff coming out, I avoid it. instead I wait until the last moment, then i research the latest greatest for weeks, if I need to wait longer I do. Sometimes I will wait for a new release just because it can lower the price of the device its replacing. This last thing will help - The longer you wait, the better, more advanced and faster the stuff you buy will be... BTW: just for an idea how much change we've had, my 1st computer had 32k of RAM, no hard drive and believe it or not had 2 processors (chipsets) you could run 1 or the other.

[@ITX-EcoClass]

I do find that if my recommends are full of tech influencers doing product reviews, that goes to some way in swaying my future purchases, either in what I'll buy, or in making me buy it sooner. I'll attest to the wisdom of branching your KZbin subscriptions out into other ecosystems

[@handlesarefeckinstupid]

My first computer had 1k of RAM.

[@SixDasher]

Bought the 8086K because my first PC ever was the actual 8086 XT. Running at 4.8GHz on all cores, no need to push it for me.

[@strongandbigman]

Its now autumn 2024. And this video still autoplays in the middle of the night.

[@sambalsamurai9672]

2:32:04 "Here is what our results have been sofar: The biggest item of note: 5.1GHZ at only 1.3V vcore!"

[@srenj887]

Well it only has 6 cores... And Its not even fully stable so yea 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Begleitkubus]

@el 01, whats wrong with Threadripper for an all core oc? :P

[@jkazos]

I have a 1950x that runs flawlessly at all-core 4.0GHz at 1.275V, stable for a month now. I tried to put it up to 4.1GHz at 1.3V, every attempt lasted maybe one second before full-system lock. At that point I decided the increase in voltage, even with adequate cooling, would wear down the life of the chip too much. But I'm 100% satisfied! My workload is latency-sensitive with threads flying everywhere, and a 16-core with "local" memory mode absolutely rips it apart. It's a great chip. Just not for gaming.

[@alexmarin7897]

+Søren K - Actually, it was fully stable at 1.3V 5.1GHz. It only got unstable when he tried to push the memory frequency higher while keeping the timings tight.

[@skoopsro7656]

@@jkazos 4.0 in a 1950x at 1.275 is golden sample good. not common and is infact very uncommon. many 1950x chips cant stay stable at 4.0 period. mine wont stay stable past 3.95GHz

[@MegaTechpc]

This is cool! Just for lulz, I decided to duplicate this FS Physics run on my old 4930K (6 cores, 12 threads) using just my 24/7 OC since 2013(!!!) on a RIVE and 4 x 4GB of 2133 MHz DDR3 memory. To be clear, this is the locked in OC I've been using now for over 5 years which is just 4.5 GHz. I've benched this rig at up to 4.8 GHz back in the day but the processor is old now so I don't like to push it. Full custom loop for 4930K and both GTX Titans, temps hover in the 50C's for this short test. I am really amazed that running this bench now, with nothing having been optimized and just using the same old 4.5 GHz OC I customized for low voltage, daily usage that this Ivy Bridge E processor from 2013 scored 16062 for the FS Physics Score! That's just a couple thousand points less than Steve's baseline on the 8086K. Pretty comparable CPU's; both are 6C / 12T for example. I dunno, I guess it kinda confirms my feeling that this 5 year old IBE processor is still plenty fast enough even in 2019!! Clearly the stock 8086K is a good bit faster than my 4.5 GHz 4930K, and at 5.1+ GHz it will destroy the 4930K. I might go for 4.8 GHz just to see if I can top Steve's baseline score for kicks, but yeah, the 4930K even today is still a BEAST!!! :)

[@CHRIS021505]

So it's 2023 and we have world records going to 9ghz now

[@billybbob18]

I remember an experement with a 3.2GHZ Pentium with hyperthreading being pushed to 5ghz almost 20 years ago. Liquid nitrogen was used. You may have better luck with the new AMD processors. Ryzen readily hits 4.5GHZ without liquid nitro.

[@Bamfhammer]

While you are at LTX, see if Linus will let you do an episode of Tech Linked. I bet it would be excellent!!

[@AlphaCore_]

Oh, yes!

[@6w817]

YES. STEVE, MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[@Bamfhammer]

RE: supralex1's comment - I debated for days on whether or not to respond to this. These types of responses are pointlessly insulting towards someone else, particularly someone who is kindly hosting Steve at their own conference. It is rude, and has literally nothing to do with either party's ability to successfully host a cool episode of tech news. Finally, intelligence cannot be determined by the content of someone's channel nor can they be compared by the contents of their channel. This type of "intelligence elitism" plays a large part in why many many people view PC building and gaming as unapproachable. So please stop this nonsense.

[@Bamfhammer]

I realize that, I also partly responded because I felt that the comment might also be a reason to NOT have Steve give a Tech Linked episode. Hopefully we are in agreement that we would want an episode to happen.

[@yotuanyboi6201]

This never happened and I'm now sad. This must happen at LTX 2020

[@byronyoung4302]

my 8086k will run at 5.1 all day, no issues. great processor, it is only special because it was named special anniversary because it's a 8700 that's not different, it is just pre-tested, pre-binned, pre-sorted. They just took the best of the best from the "silicon lottery."

[@RonnyJakobsson]

My 9900K runs at 5.3GHz but gets rediculusly hot so i just kept it at 5.1 since it's my everyday computer reliability comes before performance.

[@nosirrahx]

Holy hell YT does not want me to watch this. I have no network issue at all but this vid buffers even on 144P.

around 2:35:00 - It's super duper interesting to know who bought you T-Shirts and that kind of shit, thank you ! (sry I feel sarcastic this morning as there's no cereals left)

[@ChaosHusky]

Bit late saying this, but i ended up winning the "silicon lottery" jackpot with my 8086K! Did the de-lid, conductonaut etc too, the stock temps were scary! But i can get 5.4GHz no AVX offset at 1.38vCore hitting about 64°C all cores on a Corsair H115i RGB Pro! :o For 24/7 though i kept it stock for over a year, but now push it to between 4.8-5GHz for constant use (5GHz needs 1.26v!)

My i9 9900k at 5Ghz gets 24,691, so if 8700k gets 25,000 at 5.5Ghz it just shows how incremental Intel's improvements are generation on generation, just wondering if we will ever get the massive improvements we used to get back on the early 2000, that made us all love Intel?

Great attempt to make a 1963-vintage,1 MHz technology (CMOS) working at higher speeds without melting. Try 1957-vintage tunnel diode logic which was working at 70 GHz in 1984. Let me know when you get CMOS at 70 GHz.

[@FixationwithCarnage]

florida, thats in amera..sorta.. lmao that was hilarious steve.

[@MrBeezweeky]

I know it's old, but since you knew your max frequencies for your core and memory, you could've drop the ratios for both and bumped the bclk to like 105 or as needed to match your highest stable frequencies since bclk seemed to give a nice jump in your score earlier on. I believe you could got your 24k.

[@xibidit]

well youre running switching frequency at 300 khz, if you would have bumped it up to 500 you surely would get some stability. maybe...

Clearly he's not using the latest BIOS for the Maximus X. The new BIOS for me doesn't activate MCE when you hit yes to the prompt that appears when you set XMP. Asus have disabled MCE. You have to switch per core to sync all cores now to activate MCE.

Been running it at that since I got it last October, and have only recently knocked it down to 5GHZ at 1.3 (lower gave me instability if I had the ram over 2666) and cache at 47, as we have had a fair long period of hot weather and I like to run a quiet system and not drain my bank account with the AC on all day.
