I've been PC gaming for over 20 years now and I still learned some stuff in this video. So often these basics are skipped over to talk about other things, but it's helpful to be reminded about this stuff. This is really a basic over clocking guide because he explains what is affected by overclocking utilities really well here.
20...so you're out of Basic training, heh. But yeah agreed, good to know your software. My first o/c was a 2 MB diamond stealth II...40 Mhz to 68 Mhz (with superglue heat sinks and a fan, which were not stock) editing a text file. Still have it, still works!
@@joshuanine7690 I agree, a lot of his videos covers a lot of topics that others seem to overcomplicate and still makes it casually entertaining enough to watch and learn from. 👌
The Giveaway boosted it, if he didn't do a giveaway then his calculation will be correct because he can se his channel stats and how many subs he get per day idiot!
I wouldn't call myself a PC veteran by any stretch, I just feel confident with how much I know from a few builds and lots of hours spent watching videos/reading articles. There's always more to learn and maybe there are some corrections that can be made to what's said. For example: Jay said Afterburner has to be uninstalled from safe mode to fix it running too strong an OC from boot. I learned, from some other comments, that you can actually just hold ctrl on boot to override the settings that were in place.
I mostly watch it so that I can read the comments for once I don't really need the informations in the video but I enjoy it and I know it is there if I every need it (like most of the new GPUs reviews some can say)
Not a veteran PC Builder but ive built a few PC's and my brother who is a veteran PC builder got me into it after I was a huge console nerd. I definitely know how to build, setup and tweak, OC PC's now. I watch these just cause. lol
I’ve been a tech since ‘96 and university prof since 2006, and Jay teaches me something in every serious video. You CAN’T keep up without guys like Jay!
Even for veteran builders and overclockers, during a video like this, an off hand comment from a peer can be something you didn't know, or it sheds light from a different perspective that you never considered.
Agreed. I’m a noob, but my mobo and cpu say they could handle g skillz 3200 mhz when overclovked and pcpartpicker showed no issues with upgrading my 2133 to 3200. But I could not get my mobo to post with the new Corsair ram I purchased 😓😥
@@mikey9836 yes, you can. I once had a 2400mhz ram go to 3200mhz but the timings were trash. You should check a guide and some benchmarks to actually see if you would benefit from the overclock
I just wanna say, Jay: I appreciate you and the content you've created over the years. You've been a go-to when I have questions. And I also love your passive aggressive commentary 🤣 Thanks for all you do!
Best of luck. No rush enjoy the process! Little miniature zipties for cable management are a life saver is my advice and post pics in Jay's next pc review thingy to show it off! And remember everyone has to start everywhere if its not perfect in your mind you can always go back and do it better. Anyone that wants to criticize just take it with a grain of salt. And remember have fun with it. Thats why they call it a hobby cuz its fun
they are not restocking RAM,they are waiting for the new batch of waterproof RAM,too much people downloaded LN2 and killed their RAM from condensation.Lots of RMA because Jay forgot to upload the new version with humidity sensor stickers.
I removed on of the drive bays expecting to get a tripple fan 6800 or 3070 but in the end got a 3060ti dual fan design lmao so I’ll slot it back in but I’ll consider myself part of that « had to make some space » vip club 🤣
Yes, the build off between Jay and Steve helped me a lot in understanding UEFI and Legacy booting when i upgraded my PC and was reinstalling Windows.. my BIOS was automatically going to UEFI through the Pen drive in which Windows was created, but my SSD and HDD didn't support UEFI and i had to manually change the boot mode to Legacy in order to allocate the drives and install Windows..but there are little to no info on that subject..
@@jonashediger182 You missed the part on the video where an aggressive overclock will crash your PC, and if the "apply OC on windows startup" is selected, your PC will crash every time on startup.
I’m really loving these “educational” videos lately. Truth is, a lot of learn a lot even those of us that have been building computers for a decade plus. Keep it up JayzTwoCents. As far as topics, has RAM timing been talked about? I would love to hear more on this topic.
New to this channel, only followed LTT and GN before. I love how professional your video's are and how simple you explain in-depth things. I was always afraid to break GPU's but I understand now that is basically impossible by just tinkering around with these numbers. Thanks!
@JayzTwoCents on 20:30 there is an easy way to avoid that situation. Just pressing CTRL when windows logs in, as afterburner help says, will avoid the OC settings of being applied
I love revisiting these older videos. They make a good refresher if you've taken some time away from doing stuff like this and afraid you may have forgotten something.
I was hoping for an explanation on all the graphics settings like ambient occlusion and stuff like that that I have no clue what they all do and what the difference looks like, how much FPS trade off is typical etc.
There is a very good video from Hardware Unboxed dealing with all that stuff inside of Red Dead 2. Red Dead 2 Optimization, parts 1 and 2. Great video explaining a lot of that stuff and how it effects Red Dead 2 specifically.
Thanks Jay, been having a problems with my R9 280X, this got fixed when I plugged in to separate power cables into the 6 + 8 pin power. With the two cables all the problems gone and the card works great. Thanks again for the info.
"Welcome to the family, son" There's so much great stuff, enjoy :D (I myself only found Jay(and all of the tech youtubers lol)) summer of 2019, been loving it ever since!

I would reaaaaaallly love a Jayztwocents advanced overclocking series! Been doing some basic CPU, RAM and GPU overclocking. But there's so much more to fiddle with.
Awesome! As someone going from a GTX 560 to a 3080 in my new build this is really helpful to understand what everyone has been doing really fast in a lot of the testing/OC videos lately. Coming from such an old system I’m not feeling the need to OC just yet since it already feels blazing fast, but now I’ll be able to make better sense of testing my silicon lottery results.
I will say this. Overclocking may not "break" a GPU/CPU/etc., but it will reduce the lifespan of the component. Now, some say, by the time you actually start seeing it fail, it'll be long obsolete by then, but as for me personally, I highly value reliability, so I don't think the small gains with overclocking are worth it at the end of the day.
@@DarkoPetreski I do have it tweaked for better performance, and i'm still tuning it. I'm really impressed with this card as I picked it up 6 months ago brand new on a sale for $230.
Hey Jay, I really appreciate these instructional videos (as well as the rest your videos). Your channel has pretty much single handedly prepared myself for my own build which I completed last spring. Thanks you for your vids and the entertainment!
Can you cover the exact same, but for CPU settings in the bios? I've wanted to get into overclocking, but the amount of stuff I'd have to read to just understand all the knobs and gears is overwhelming, so it'd be extremely appreciated, and not just by me I'd say :)
good thing you made an educational video for the people that don't know much about computers and are just buying parts without understanding what they are buying.
Thanks again, Jay. Another spot-on educational video that demystifies the GPU, which, let’s be honest, is usually the one part in a gaming rig that attracts a lot of myth and legend.
This was so helpful! i've always been timid with adjusting those settings it is a relief to know that other than voltage adjustment (which i do have enabled on my 2070) I can not fry or destroy my investment. Cheers to these videos keep them coming
This is the first time I have been compelled to leave a comment on TH-cam; the quality of this video deserves me taking the time. I cant think a single thing anyone could have done to do a better job teaching an unknowable computer person like myself, the understanding of components and their operation in a way I completely understood as I build my first computer. I appreciate the quality of your videos.
Part 2 should be a video going over graphics card settings in the nvidia control panel and the amd equivalent, as well as going over general monitor settings. I doubt most people know how to turn on their freesync or gsync, nor how to overclock their monitor. Kind of a get the most out of the graphics thing.
This video, and "what to do after building a pc" video, were extremely helpful. I was having that "PWR" issue that you said people were freaking about. But your explanation of what I was looking at was very insightful. I have an evga rtx 2060 12gb and had a 500w 80+ bronze power supply. Was "freaking out" about the PerfCap Reason I was seeing and bought an 850w 80+ gold full modular. Was still having the "issue" so I started digging. So PWR reason for being capped is that I'm hitting the limit that can be drawn from the motherboard? If so, the part that currently holding me back is my motherboard. Still having PWR, VRel, and VOp being the cap reason after maxing out the power limit in afterburner.
That was an awesome instructional video. I have been messing around trying to actually keep a hot card cool - both research and regretfully my ears informed me of that. Thank you.
@@Fidelis94 for AMD, you can use AMD Radeon Software then go into the Performance tab. It's a bit more advanced because you can create a global profile for everything or a profile for specific executable (games)
even making educational content, you guys are still amazing with the comedy. you guys are genuinely funny and i love that. you make learning about pcs fun again. i know this video came out a year ago but i hope you see this
think I need a beginners beginners guide haha. That is the problem with a lot of computer guides explaining gpu, motherboards, etc. it might be beginner level for their set audience, but with the use of certain terminology it is still confusing. I still enjoy the video though.
You have no Idea how much I learn from you. I'm in pc gaming from ages but never dive to deep in to the tech. Have to say its awesome to learn so much things. Thanks for all the vids you make
I think GPU manufacturers should have more focus on that... GPU's for a big part are getting faster because the gpu's are growing in size and they cram more power into them. They're not getting much faster because they develop more efficient GPU's. With the current RTX cards and this new RX 6xxx cards we have some very powerful cards that will work fine for 99% of the market... so let's keep the performance where it is now and try to (dratically) reduce the power they use.
Thanks for doing this video. Knowing me I'd probably end up confusing myself with the PCI 4.0 slot wondering if reverse compatibility is a thing. Showcasing Afterburner was neat to see since I use it myself to mainly monitor GPU and CPU temperatures in game and seeing favorable numbers is almost too enjoyable. When I did use Nvidia GPU's, I liked them less when their program demanded I log in with some sort of account. Yeah bugger off. Glad manual drivers exist. I do agree when I do look at GPU's I check RAM amounts along with size and price. Oh, and if my PSU can handle it.
Jayz, you said, "I'm not old!" like it was something to be ashamed of. The knowledge and hopefully wisdom accumulated over the many years of a life should be celebrated. Being old is something to be proud of.
This helps a lot, thank you for the refresher! I have recently built a new pc and it’s been a while since I have done anything but run all the parts at stock speeds. This will make me feel more comfortable doing any sort of overclocking
OMG JAY HAS ANOTHER 3070 MEANWHILE NONE OF US CAN GET ONE. I'm so upset that I'm going to leave a comment even though I was never in the market for a new graphics card anyway I just want to be noticed by the herd of people complaining. This is ridiculous, HOW DARE HE make educational videos to inform us on the products we desire! UNFORGIVABLE!
@@AbyNeon What are you talking about? You said the 2080ti is cheaper then a 3070 which it isn't lol now all of a sudden you're talking about 3090's. The founders edition cards are the cheapest yes but they are NOT the best. Every single aftermarket board partner card performs better then the founders edition.

Built my first pc today thanks for the help and inspiration! You'd be goddamn ashamed of my cable management though... I'm just glad it runs
all it takes is about an hour to run all the cables through and behind the desk or wherever. Just do it lol
Jay, you still gonna make that video on tuning your RAM?
I don't think this is a beginner's guide but intermediate guide. Got what I could from it. Thank you.
Loving the content! Very new to the pc world. Just bought my first gaming pc but hoping to build as soon as gpus become more readily available.
14:40 is the key knowledge moment here. And learning to look at the `PerfCap Reason` field. Thanks!
this was very helpful, thank you for taking the time to help a noob out.
Part 2 should be a video going over graphics card settings in the nvidia control panel and the amd equivalent, as well as going over general monitor settings. I doubt most people know how to turn on their freesync or gsync, nor how to overclock their monitor. Kind of a get the most out of the graphics thing.
Learned way too much today with this video! About time someone discuss this in this detail, and easy enough to understand. Good job!
This video, and "what to do after building a pc" video, were extremely helpful. I was having that "PWR" issue that you said people were freaking about. But your explanation of what I was looking at was very insightful. I have an evga rtx 2060 12gb and had a 500w 80+ bronze power supply. Was "freaking out" about the PerfCap Reason I was seeing and bought an 850w 80+ gold full modular. Was still having the "issue" so I started digging. So PWR reason for being capped is that I'm hitting the limit that can be drawn from the motherboard? If so, the part that currently holding me back is my motherboard. Still having PWR, VRel, and VOp being the cap reason after maxing out the power limit in afterburner.
"You wouldn't download a shirt!" Phil just won quote of 2020 lol
Thanks jay! This gave me the courage to OC my 2070. Got it to +130 on the core and +991 on the memory. Ran haven benchmark!
You dont need to uninstall afterburner in safemode, there is a keybind you can hold while the pc boots to not trigger the auto overclock.
Ctrl by default. So just hold down Ctrl while the pc starts until you've been on the desktop for a couple seconds
Next video we need is how to squeeze the most out of your graphics card. Thanks!
Jay, thank you for all your content and everything you do. You're an inspiration to the other old salty people. Keep it up!
That was an awesome instructional video.
I have been messing around trying to actually keep a hot card cool - both research and regretfully my ears informed me of that. Thank you.
Cover undervolting please!!!
This was awesome Jay. Cover DRAM overclocking and timings next! ^_^
Wating for the AMD tutorial then.
Pretty good and understandable!
It's the same thing for AMD cards... everything he said works for AMD aswell.
@@Fidelis94 for AMD, you can use AMD Radeon Software then go into the Performance tab. It's a bit more advanced because you can create a global profile for everything or a profile for specific executable (games)
even making educational content, you guys are still amazing with the comedy. you guys are genuinely funny and i love that. you make learning about pcs fun again. i know this video came out a year ago but i hope you see this
Ayyyyy 3 mill congrats jay keep up the good work
I really appreciate your content. Please, never feel like you have to change your delivery.
Congrats on 3 million 🥲amazing milestones so happy 4 u and I don’t even know u like that 😂
always have this as reference whenever they ask me about gpus...thanks jay
"Beginners guide" is still too advanced for me haha
think I need a beginners beginners guide haha. That is the problem with a lot of computer guides explaining gpu, motherboards, etc. it might be beginner level for their set audience, but with the use of certain terminology it is still confusing. I still enjoy the video though.
Me as well lol 🤯
X2
Same!
One day we will be downloading shirts. 3D printed shirts.
Thanks for the video! Yep, these 30 series Nvidia cards are massive! Soon they'll come with an additional PSU included :)
Thanks man I really needed this video. Especially since you might give a 3090 to someone who knows nothing about PCs😂
P.S. if told me that I was the third viewer😃
You have no Idea how much I learn from you. I'm in pc gaming from ages but never dive to deep in to the tech. Have to say its awesome to learn so much things. Thanks for all the vids you make
When our tech gets so good that the graphics cards get smaller will be a good time...
still waiting for an itx (175mm long) rtx 3000 series card. I hope 3060ti with little bit smaller powertarget will be avaiable. :D
Smaller but I imagine they’d get heavier as well.
@@John_Notmylastname right lol have it chain suspended from the top of our rigs 😂
I think GPU manufacturers should have more focus on that... GPU's for a big part are getting faster because the gpu's are growing in size and they cram more power into them. They're not getting much faster because they develop more efficient GPU's. With the current RTX cards and this new RX 6xxx cards we have some very powerful cards that will work fine for 99% of the market... so let's keep the performance where it is now and try to (dratically) reduce the power they use.
And hopefully, less power hungry.
Thanks for doing this video. Knowing me I'd probably end up confusing myself with the PCI 4.0 slot wondering if reverse compatibility is a thing. Showcasing Afterburner was neat to see since I use it myself to mainly monitor GPU and CPU temperatures in game and seeing favorable numbers is almost too enjoyable. When I did use Nvidia GPU's, I liked them less when their program demanded I log in with some sort of account. Yeah bugger off. Glad manual drivers exist. I do agree when I do look at GPU's I check RAM amounts along with size and price. Oh, and if my PSU can handle it.
Jay: Beginners guide
Me: you lost me at DDR (Dance Dance Revolution?)
Wasn't that Darren's dance revolution?
A well done video on how to do Over-Clocking for Video Cards.
7:30 29 watts of 50 watts
Jay: "It's more than two thirds!"
"close" to 3/5ths, 60% which is close to 66% ( 2/3rds )....... yeah checks out.
Me during a math test
@@gardian06_85 close would be accurate but he said more. 60 is not more than 66. Unless you don't math correctly
Jayz, you said, "I'm not old!" like it was something to be ashamed of. The knowledge and hopefully wisdom accumulated over the many years of a life should be celebrated. Being old is something to be proud of.
You gotta untwist those AIO tubes, its like 3 or 4 videos now Ive seen them in and its causing me pain! Lol j/k thanks for another great video
This helps a lot, thank you for the refresher! I have recently built a new pc and it’s been a while since I have done anything but run all the parts at stock speeds. This will make me feel more comfortable doing any sort of overclocking
While the majority of 5 year olds are learning to dress themselves & to count to 10, Jay was building PCs. What a guy!
While 5 year olds were going to school jay was making videos
Yes, I need this video to understand that my 1050ti is no good for new games :(
lol upgrade that.
When you say don’t daisy chain you power cords are you saying don’t use the single power cable even when they have multiple 8 pins attached ?
yes, you need two cables
This video really put my mind at ease after getting pwr and Vrel in GPU-Z.
OMG JAY HAS ANOTHER 3070 MEANWHILE NONE OF US CAN GET ONE. I'm so upset that I'm going to leave a comment even though I was never in the market for a new graphics card anyway I just want to be noticed by the herd of people complaining. This is ridiculous, HOW DARE HE make educational videos to inform us on the products we desire! UNFORGIVABLE!
@@AbyNeon Since when is it cheaper?
I Got a rtx 3070 gigabyte gaming oc
@@AbyNeon What are you talking about? You said the 2080ti is cheaper then a 3070 which it isn't lol now all of a sudden you're talking about 3090's. The founders edition cards are the cheapest yes but they are NOT the best. Every single aftermarket board partner card performs better then the founders edition. Out of every 3000 series card made the founders edition has the worst performance.
@@thegraal9607 The comment was satire bro...
@@AbyNeon are you outa your mind? almost everything you commented so far is false lmao wtf
