After giving us a tour of ASUS' 8-series Haswell motherboards and its updated UEFI interface, JJ took us through overclocking a Core i7-4770K using ASUS' new software and UEFI tools. We get a good look at how auto-overclocking works, as well as what settings to pay attention to when manually overclocking Haswell.

"But I have no idea if there's anything in there which is worth watching the video for"The first few minutes did not.

Download video, extract audio, run through speech to text, read ... great idea!RAWRscary - Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - link
It's mostly just the asus rep rambling on about maximizing performance...sovan07 - Thursday, July 4, 2013 - link
hi guyz...i m just new in anandtech ,,.i want to do bechmarkings & if some1 guides me...from beginning then it wll be really helpful for me...though i live in kolkata...if any1 from there plz knock me....Stuka87 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - link

Pro-tip: Watch it when you get home. ;)micksh - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - link
36 minutes is a lot of time to waste even at home. It's not supposed to be a movie with a story and character development, is it?One page with list of settings should be enough to describe overclocking and it can be read in 5 minutes max. I'm sure there are other sites that don't force you to waste 30 more minutes of your life.

Umm, I am very impressed. I have just built a Gryphon Z87 with i5-4670K and now want to try out some of these goodies. Asus is really trying hard! After seeing this I wonder if their competition is even in the same ballpark with respect to fan control, integrated OC etc. And all this for $170! Sorry to sound like a shill - I'm not - but there it is.Razorbak86 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - link
Agreed. ASUS UEFI and AI Suite are truly world class.JimmiG - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - link
Most overclockers only need access to two options, though - VCore and multiplier.My Gigabyte board only has Vcore Offset or manual VCore. So I set a negative offset to -0.1V to get the right voltage when overclocked..but this causes the voltage when idle / 800 MHz to be too low. The only other option is to set a static voltage at 1.2V, which is not ideal but not a huge issue.
Also fan control is really bad on the Gigabyte. I want to be able to set a target temp like you can with Speedfan, but all it offers is a silly "PWM Value / Temp" setting that always seem to make the fans almost stop, no matter what the temperature is.
