 So guys this is gonna be a bit of a voyage of discovery episode of my video blog I have the P67 a GD 65 which I was able to manually tune in an overclock of 4.7 gigahertz on my core i7 2600 K unlocked processor and MSI asked me to try out their OC Genie 2 Button so this is their one button overclocking. I press the button I'm pressing the power switch and now we're gonna find out how close you can get to my manually tuned overclock By just pressing that button on your MSI motherboard. So first of all, we're gonna boot up I already set the hard drive to AHCI mode in the BIOS, so hopefully that is Still Moses there OC Genie is enabled It's not recommended to change anything in the BIOS menu, but changing the the mode of your SATA controller is probably still okay So I'm gonna go ahead and do that just to make sure that That's the wrong thing. It's under advanced. It's under integrated peripherals. Yeah, so we're still in a HCI mode So we didn't reset that I'm gonna press F 10 and restart and let's find out What OC Genie has set this chip to so we're gonna boot into Windows and that's probably gonna take a minute or so So maybe I'll talk about Military class 2 while we wait so military class 2 highly conductive polymerized capacitors Up to 8 times the lifespan of a regular solid capacitor super ferrite choke is 30% higher current capacity than a standard traditional choke and then solid capacitors give you 10 plus years ultra long lifetime Yeah, it's not doing anything yet. Okay A cameraman is telling me I should pay attention to the screen, but it's not doing anything so they're saying up to 10 plus years Of lifetime under full load so that's assuming you're gaming for 12 years straight without sleeping Which some Wow players could probably do so there you go. That could be a realistic usage scenario for some people Okay, we're booted up into Windows. Yay. Okay, so I've explained this a few times in the past it always Asks me to reactivate every time I change hardware, so I don't really bother to Activate anymore so what we're gonna do is we're gonna launch CPU Z and see what we're running at because I actually have no idea So at idle we are running at 3.5 gigahertz so that's a multiplier of 35 with OCG turned on Okay, and then Let's see what happens if we run eight threads of prime 95 Really, I wonder if I'm doing it wrong This really doesn't seem very OC'd okay, give me a minute, and I will find out what is going on here So this is me actually using a manual so I'm gonna see if That'll tell me anything about How to enable OCG and II properly because as far as I can tell I haven't done it right Oh, so there's no CG software application Okay, so that's the only thing in there, so I'll keep I'll keep checking manuals, and I'll let you guys know if I figure anything out here Okay, so we're sort of Trying to figure out what's going on here It says here that you can disable the OCG and II function in the bios setup Which I haven't done so we're here in the bios now and what the bios is telling me is that We are overclocked right now including the RAM. It's loaded an XMP profile all on its own It's increased the CPU voltage. It's increased the RAM voltage and in theory. We're running at 4.2 gigahertz of adjusted CPU frequency So While you set okay, we don't really need to use MSI control center Whoops, I right-clicked instead of left-click here. Why don't we set that to enable just in case that makes a difference So we're gonna save our bios profile and then reset so in theory OCG is working now, and we're going to boot up in In just a moment, so that was me using a manual you'll probably never see this on tech tips again And I'm pretty sure you've never seen it before but there it is So what are they claiming so they're claiming OCG OCG and able to gives you up to 36% in performance increase on the integrated GPU although I don't think that actually works on P67 at least that's my understanding. Cameraman's like giving me a funny look right now. I've really run out of things to talk about It's okay though because we're in the bios now or in the bios windows now Okay, so let's fire up CPU Z and see if magically by rebooting once There okay, it works now so There you go, so 4.2 gigahertz is what we're running at I'm assuming if we run eight threads So we're stressing out four cores to the max and now let's see what happens if we go ahead and do something like say For example we run two tortured test threads of small FFT Let's see if it is leaving Intel turbo boost enabled or if it's going for a straight overclock So it looks like MSI has gone very conservatively here They're actually giving it about as much voltage as I gave it to reach four point seven gigahertz stable But it's better to go conservative and assume that some chips won't overclock as well as others When you're doing like one button overclocking method like this versus having it take it to the limits So there you go OC Genie took us about half of the way there compared to manually overclocking But I would still recommend a manual overclock Versus a canned overclock in this case. So thank you for checking out my video blog don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings guides reviews and Videos and whatnot. Now you should look at the OC Genie, but that's what we're talking about. Good work cameraman.
