Overclocking around 19 minutes in. They push the system to 4.1ghz and it dies once they try Cinebench. Oops!

That's what i have been saying. Soon people will realize that their 4.6Ghz 6 Core Intel is faster than Ryzen x1800. In AMD bullshit world that 6 core is running 3.2Ghz with disabled quad memory channel and what not.
 
Wait so no one has had an overclock crash? You all must be really fuckin good you tweak with 100% certainty lol.. They were tweaking with the radeon utility which is probably going through its early issues. LOL, I can't believe how people jump on to shit like this.

6 core intel running at 4.6ghz? I got a 6850k, after 4.4 you have to give it so much volts to even get anything higher its not worth it. Give me reviews where they have 6850k running at 4.6ghz. Toms hardware and most of other ones I have seen end at 4.4 as most stable.
 
Shoot.....I've had rigs run forever without issues, happily pushing 100% utilization all night long several days a week only to have it crash once in a blue moon when doing essentially nothing. My 5820k is pretty sensitive to settings and the difference between 4.4Ghz stable and 4.2Ghz crashing took some fiddling. Nothing to be worried about here as far as I am concerned until more Ryzen OC data is gathered.
 
I'll wait for reviews. History has shown that clock speed isn't everything *cough netburst cough*

who cares about quad?
Do you run in memory databases and things like that? >_<

Same here, 4.1 with no voltage seems a bit enthusiastic :p
impatiently waiting.....
 
They probably didn't have this badboy in place.

who exactly are you preaching to? As mentioned above your analysis is shit as is most of your posts on the difference between differing CPUs. All in all AMD is around 40~45% inc with SMT and Intel @30% with HT so you are gonna need that extra clock to keep up.
 
Crash? I'm not so sure.

They kept talking as if nothing happened while the press stood there like "what the hell is going on..?".. It seems the stream cut out at an unfortunate time and that's it.

can't watch the video right now, but were they using the stock cooler?

We need hardware turbo buttons again!

No... no we don't....

Back in those days that idea was handed down to engineering teams as a "marketing feature". Engineer shook their heads, and added button that did basically nothing. When it worked... and didn't crash the machine.

It's not like they could downclock a chip and then claim "turbo".

My 5960X has been running at 4.6GHz for right at 2 years (at less that 1.3v). That said, I wouldn't worry too much about a OC crash this early in the platform's life - I damn sure had more than a couple learning X99 from the ground up.
 
My 8088 would freeze up hard on me with Turbo 10MHz mode more often than not.

And with 4.77MHz being the non turbo mode - you can bet the farm I used it anyway despite the annoyance. :)

Yes, the stream could have coincidentally cut out at the exact moment a load was placed on the just overclocked processor. Or the processor crashed. I'd check Occam's Razor for this one :)

My take is those overclocking and tweaking apps are almost always worse than going into the BIOS and adjusting from there.

Never had any luck with software for overclocking myself, won't be trying that crazy ass knob or the software myself. Glad MSI isn't including a whole great deal of bloatware anyway. Oh sorry, I do use Afterburner and Riva, they're great. But that's GPU.
 
Idiot pros tried to overclock it on the fly without adjusting any voltage. What probably happened was it worked prior to demo by just applying the same setting to all cores and then crashed during demo. If you overclock you would know a thing or two about unstable overclock, getting you one quick run and then failing on second try. That is an example of hurrying the fuck up and trying to run a quick bench and not tweaking that shit.

They just applied 4.1ghz to all cores and hit apply. I didn't see them change anything else, they probably had a run earlier, and it worked lol. Dumb asses.

No kidding. Try overclocking with jumpers. lol the "good old days"
Click to expand...

You had jumpers? we used to replace the frequency crystals. A few years later I got a crack at building an OC mobo for for 16Mhz 386 procs. Binned all the chips, flogged 22Mhz 386 boards. Life was good. Until we had to bin the crap out of 80387's to find the odd few that would keep up. We didn't check into that closely enough.

Anyhow, we all know what went wrong with the demo OC going south. I don't think anyone here is phased much.

I'm surprised they didn't vet some OC settings for that exact chip to show to the press.

I have that exact case it doesnt have the fake speedometer, but has a cutout and window for one... has an amd 486 66dx2 in it.
Click to expand...

Unfortunately that case would be pre-ATX era, so even though seeing that case makes me think, "I want to put my rig in that," it wouldnt be worth the work modding it. :(
 
It was hauling ass until the crash. Thats for sure ... from what little I could see. Excited to see where I can push my 1700X

it was almost as bad as whats his name from intel claiming all 7600K's or what ever would do 5Ghz on air(all of a sudden i can't find the damn article about it even though i was looking at it yesterday. oh well).
 
I think it's baby AT so cramming an mATX board in there wouldn't be too difficult. Just have to cut out for the I/O backplane and add a momentary switch for power.

Not sure why you're making it sound like a 4.6GHz overclock is common on the 6 core Intel chips because it's not (unless you're not talking about Broadwell-E). The majority of them will only hit 4.3-4.4GHz with a few lucky ones that will hit 4.5GHz while still under 1.4v. 4.6GHz? Maybe one in a hundred.

Hell actually even on Haswell-E a 4.6GHz overclock wasn't common.

Actually...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button

"The name itself is an intentional misnomer, as the button does not boost the speed; engaging it slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips."
 
The stage klieg lights were not accounted for in the thermal delta for the overclock.
