- This is our tenth live stream! We are overclocking the Intel i7-8086K CPU past 5GHz. Tune-in to see how far we can go!
Ad: Buy Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut on Amazon (geni.us/gntgkryo) or Conductonaut Liquid Metal on Amazon (geni.us/gntgcon...)
The GN Limited Edition foil anniversary shirt will NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE after this stream! Get it before it's gone at this link: store.gamersne...
The Intel i7-8086K is on Amazon here: geni.us/iAcvXC
We are overclocking the Intel i7-8086K live today. This is basically a binned 8700K CPU, but we want to see just how well ours performs. We're hoping for 5.3GHz+.

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.
I have almost 400000 canadian kilometers on my 2011 ecoboost. Owned it since 50k. Haven't changed anything inside the engine. Only a thermostat. Change your oil early. Every 5k and they engine will last. These Phaser need clean oil. The chain Tensioner needs clean oil. Oil sludge increases the time it takes to pressurize these components leading to chain stretch.
I have another 2012 ecoboost I bought for 2k. Has 200000km on it and it's currently torn down in my garage. Buddy never changed the oil and cooked the timing set and an intake cam journal. New head and timing components going in and she'll be a great commuter/winter truck. BTW I live in deep northen canada where temps below -40 are common. These truck are great if you do the maintenance.
This is what TH-cam 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.
Same
same
We should have lobotomized and destroyed the algorithms when we had the chance. Clear now destroying the mental health of our youth in setting adults against one another
Same
That's not how ai works but ok.
everyday youtube playing this video at wake up🫠
same its getting annoying
Came back from work and this was playing tf
Same
i woke up to this today lol
My girlfriend and I think we need a boyfriend now due to this… it’s always him or linus
Why is this playing when I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night
because youtuve realise that when people sleep, they love watching long video.
me just now XD
SAME, lil creeped out now
I fell asleep watching TH-cam and this is what I woke up to.
Edit: Isn't it kinda crazy that this happened to 12 people what is up with this video
Same
Same
Same
yup
Same
Still waking up to this video in 2024
just woke up to it (
just did 30 sec ago
hey, im literally waking up to this one to lol
i let youtube w autoplay rip when i went to bed last night, and yt gave me mostly HW news lol
Yeah legit just happened to me as well
Every time i fall asleep, every night,after work...
Me too. Weird. The algorithm.
Its now autumn 2024.
And this video still autoplays in the middle of the night.
thank you youtube autoplay for bringing me this while i sleep
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.
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 TH-cam subscriptions out into other ecosystems
My first computer had 1k of RAM.
I think this is the 77th time I have woken upto this video....
yeah why the hell does youtube autoplay livestreams
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.
6:14, the guy who asked meant the 8086 from 1976. He said 4.77MHz to 5GHz ^^
HerrHansen haha
Fun fact. You did not click on this stream. Its just so epic that YT doesnt want you to miss it.
Every night, this entire video plays
Alex kowaliuk here,its wild that after 6 years this overclock gn video only has 388 comments i has to fix that , nothing but love and higher frequency.
This autoplayed after one of your other vids. Was confused why you were overclockng an old i7 then saw it was 4 years old. However Steve looks the same
Hey Steve! Go buy some tatter tots after the stream, you earned 'em!
As someone who hasn't yet OC'd my i5 4690k, I'm watching this as a casual OC guide with commentary. Thanks!
So it's 2023 and we have world records going to 9ghz now
PLEEEEASE!!! TEEEELL!!! ANDREEEEW!!! THAAAAT HEEE IS A GOOD CAMERAMAN AAAAND 3DEEEE MODELER!!! IM SHOUTING IN THE VOICE OF SAMUEL L JACKSON SO THAT YOU HEAR ME FROM 4 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE....!!!!
While you are at LTX, see if Linus will let you do an episode of Tech Linked. I bet it would be excellent!!
Oh, yes!
YES. STEVE, MAKE IT HAPPEN.
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.
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.
This never happened and I'm now sad. This must happen at LTX 2020
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.
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)
If you want to be able to set something as Always-On-Top, nab autohotkey and use the one-liner below. It makes Ctrl+space force ontop for the active window

@The Infidel deskpins ..
1st time watching. Learning a lot thanks
6:20 fail ! XD
yes there is.. what u think we had anniversary of ? :P
Love your videos!
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!!! :)
3:43:00
smoked_out thanks
big thanks
this is the first complete show . Long live
OC starts at 17:30
Hey Steve long time viewer and into computers for a very very long time. Wanted to say that I did appreciate the technical aspect since that's something that I never looked into and it was nice to know. Definitely keep going with the technical aspects of whatever discussion is going on
2:32:04 "Here is what our results have been sofar: The biggest item of note: 5.1GHZ at only 1.3V vcore!"
Well it only has 6 cores... And Its not even fully stable so yea 🤦🏻♂️
@el 01, whats wrong with Threadripper for an all core oc? :P
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.
+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.
@@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
I've got 5.2 GHz @ 1.405V on my 8700K for comparison. (Delidded with liquid metal and custom water cooling obviously.)
many of us use workstations, it would be nice if you incorporated xeon reviews
i have my old arse i5 2500k @4.9ghz still running great
The good old times when the beefiest cards had two and a half slots.
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."
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.
perhaps the greatest technological advancement is that you can run an 8086 at 5GHz without everything running at 1000x speed :)
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?
Lol
in a few years they'll be back on top
58:51 And it leaves a bad taste in your mouth when creators go this route. Take UFD Tech, for example - I honestly love the dude's work, he's pretty smart BUT he has turned his Twitch channel into a monetization machine.
Streaming reruns 24/7, every hour you watch nets you more points, which you spend on tickets, which you redeem for entries into the monthly PC giveaways. The whole enterprise is an elaborate gambling hall, with your time being the preferred currency.
I understand why he does it (stems from a legitimate family medical issue which he details in full on his channel, I felt it in poor taste to discuss the particulars of it in this instance) but it doesn't change the unsightly nature of the practice itself.
I mean, how can you build a decent community around folks who are constantly asking about the upcoming "!giveaway"?
You said In Flames! Good band, but older stuff is better imo. Whoracle, Colony, Clayman.. I'm from Finland so it's in bordering country. I've seen it live couple of time, good gigs
older stuff is way better
5.1GHz with Vcore under 1.35 is a good result for everyday use , mine is working 51x101 5150MHz VCore 1.39V in Bios
in windows CPU-Z under stress 1.375 V -- 1.380 V maximum stable 5.2GHz with VCore 1.43V cooled by WC EK Block
YT autoplays the darndest things.
have an i7 7700k @ 4ghz, never overclocked it and it is blazing damn fast. All I need.
i've got my 6700k still at 4.7
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!)
Yeah that’s okay I’m going on the same thing now and then I’ll send a a ticket for a weekend for
Holy hell YT does not want me to watch this. I have no network issue at all but this vid buffers even on 144P.
Love these live streams! overclocking on my I5 at home dreaming to get my hands on an I7 one day.
Hope you got that i7! Lmk cause if not I've seen some really good prices online for new and used.
roadiejames got a super cheap Xeon not long after that 🤣 saving up for a full system upgrade end of this year!
Did you get your i7 full system? What was it?
@@billcogneeto7286 ended up building a ryzen 9 3900xt and RTX3080 rig during Covid!
My phone almost overheated since it auto played to this and I was laying on it.
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.
Maybe add some timestamps in the description for these longer vids?
no idea why youtube keep asking me to watch this and rewatch it. when i have never seen this before lol. but okay skinny steve is fun to see
Thanks for doing this I recently won the cpu
I just got an 8086k and a z390 maximus extreme for 300.00, this weekend.
300 what
I might be late, but I just want you to know. Everything seems OK!
I fell asleep then woke up and watched the whole 4 hours
Really bummed i didn't know about the shirt when you were selling it.
I must have fallen asleep...
Cant believe I watched the whole thing today
Fun watching the 7980 xe again lol
Really want the mat, but the shipping is over 30% of the price. Total after adding wrist strap is 250 AUD. Do you offer direct shipping from the country of manufacturing?
Just woke up to this video 📹
well youre running switching frequency at 300 khz, if you would have bumped it up to 500 you surely would get some stability. maybe...
Rise and grind gamers
I ended up Delidding my 8086K not long after getting it, somehow i missed this video lol mine can do 5.4GHz at 1.42vCore, 5.2GHz at 1.38vCore, no -AVX offset! :D I got pretty lucky for a change...which is rare for me!
7tt
5787
My 8700k is clock to 4.7ghz at 1.225V with a max temp of 67c. I see no need to try and push it more
The naming... I already had an 8086 like several decades ago...
Woke up to this😅
Its midnight in East Africa. Im tryna catch up tho😉😉
great video,thanks. so near yet so far but you stuck at it!
florida, thats in amera..sorta..
lmao that was hilarious steve.
I would try setting the G-Skillz at 4000 an then setting the Clock Volt setting down the Cycles may be looping for brand
@Gamers Nexus hey Steve, PC building simulator still says you shouldn't go past 1.5v for ANY CPU! Maybe you should email the dev company and tell them to correct this? I doubt many people have suffered CPU fatalities as a result, but you never know.. (I got the achievement to kill a threadripper/CPU, literally just set vcore to 2.0 lol)
I got 23346 on my 2700x. No overclock. Turned on PBO and XFR2. Undervolted 0.05V. Memory @ only 3200mhz because 4 dimms 14,14,8,14,28,42 timings
It’s so weird everyone woke up to this lol
I still have and use an 8370 in one of my older pc's
He said the 8086K is the same stock frequency as 8700K. It's not, max Turbo is 5 GHz, on one core of course. Not much difference, but not the same.
Me: *clicks on video thinking its live.😅😅😅
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.
If possible can you do a deep dive inro Gigabyte AORUS motherboard bios settings for Intel and AMD boards
love your content keep it up
This got suggested to me on a LTT stream all of a sudden. I was wondering why you would stream overclocking a 4 year old CPU. Not that I would mind TBH, just wondering.
for some reason the video is muted for me and I made sure its on my end. this is weird
Steve's just a baybay, hair is half the length, still so young and naive - hasn't seen the horrible future that has come for us where prebuilt gaming rigs don't even have GPUs in them, or are falling out of the PCIe slots, and there are way more fans than there need to be for how underpowered they are.
Fack.
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.
this is playing like the 5th time im sleeping lol
i can build pcs like no other but never really learned how to over clock im running a ryzen 7 5800x cooled by corsairs h150i elite lcd im using an asus rtx 3060 i have 32gb of corsair vengence before i had a different cooler which did not cool very well at all understandably but it was what i could afford i had to turn down the power usage to 70% to keep it from over drawing and shutting down due to heat ... would really love to get ur opinion on some stuff
I bought Asus and Lexus yesterday
When i first got 3d mark on Steam overclocking made a very noticable difference but now no matter what i overclock or how high scores dont change in the slightest. And that's the reason i got the shite in the first place. And why i quickly lost interest in it. 1250 or something give or take is what i always get now no matter what settings on Fire Strike.
8086 non k as in the original 8086 from back in the day lol
Sooo im not the only one who woke up during this video?
Question: Should a 4090 be able to play games without the fans on. It was only running at 120fps and with bad lag spikes with no fan spin. It's done it a few times. When I restart it it goes back to 170fps and working good. Should I contact nvidea for a rma on my 4090.
Atm a 8086K is cheaper then a 8700K should i go for the 8086K or 8700K ?
My 8700K runs rock solid at 5.2 without deliding at 1.325v and cache at 4.9. 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.
I'ma wait for the 80286. k?
Woke up to this mysterious stream. What do you want ai overlord? What are you trying to say!!!
#RIP LTT yes please! A sequel a sequel!
