- Right here on the table we've got all these pieces
that have come together over the last few months,
and we're gonna be putting them together
and making one epic Assassin's Creed Odyssey build.
And this is probably the most interesting
part of the build right here,
this is the i5 6500TE.
Now, it's a low power consumption, low TDP rated
four core, four threaded i5 on 6th gen.
But there is a little bit of a trick here.
With the Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard,
we can put in a custom bios
and that will enable overclocking on this four core.
So we're gonna see how well, once we overclock the CPU
the game can run on it.
But we've also got this right here
that we've picked up for a real good price.
This is the Sapphire Nitro RX 580.
We got this for 230 Ozzy dollars,
it's pretty much one of the best RX 580s you can get,
but also looks the best in my opinion too,
really wicked looking card.
Then going through storage we've got our typical
SSD and hard drive for backup.
And then we've got a cooler here, that was just
sort of thrown in with the mix when I got this motherboard.
And we've also this DDR4 memory
that we pulled out of the build
that I recently got on the channel with the 5820K.
I'll put the link up here if you guys
wanna check out that deals hunt.
Then we've got this 700 watt Antec power supply
that someone threw in for free
when I bought a heap of PCs off them,
apparently it's got a noisy fan.
So, that should be pretty easy to replace,
we'll be pulling that apart,
seeing what we can do with that.
And then down here we've got a CM Storm case,
this thing is pretty dirty, it needs some Tech Yes loving.
But after we're done cleaning this all up,
it should be looking like a race car,
ready to ride some horses.
(upbeat electronic music)
So we did test the power supply
and there was a bit of noise coming out of it,
I just wasn't sure if it was the fan or not.
So we quickly cut off the fan
and we're gonna test it one more time now
and see if it is indeed
the actual power supply making the noise.
And it actually is
Now something like this is pretty dangerous.
So the easiest way to completely power it off,
is just turned off at the switch,
and then let this motherboard here drain all the power out.
As you can see here, the power's
going through the motherboard.
So let that can drain out completely
and then there should be no charge left in the power supply.
But we can pretty much chuck this in the bin because...
Yeah, I...
It works, which is really strange,
I've never seen this before,
a power supply that makes some really weird noise
but actually, still works absolutely fine,
that's a shame.
Because the cooler as well,
the other cooler we had didn't fit either.
So, we're using this Noctua cooler
I've had sitting around for a long time.
And so, things like this do add
costs to the build, unfortunately.
Because now we're gonna use another power supply
and we're using another cooler already.
But these are the problems you do come into
when you are building use PCs, unfortunately.
And this is all I've got on hand at the moment,
I got this on an eBay sale for 40 Ozzy dollars.
Never heard of the brand of the brand before, Game Max.
But, hopefully it doesn't blow up.
So let's give it a shot.
(upbeat electronic music)
Last night we were tryin' to overclock this thing a lot.
And we got max, a B-clock on the motherboard,
at 180 it seems to be topping out there.
And it just wouldn't go any higher,
and that's about 4.14 gigahertz unfortunately.
I'd like to go higher, I know the CPU definitely can do it,
but I think the motherboard's holding it back.
If you guys remember like back in the H55, P55
and X58 era, the motherboard's B-clock
can become a limiting factor, and I think that's what's
become of this CPU and motherboard combo here.
So not too impressed with this overclock.
But we will try some different memory
just to rule out the DDR4 that's currently in there.
(upbeat electronic music)
And here we are now after playing those games
we're at conclusion time, and this PC ended up
now costing me about 570 Ozzy dollars
or if you're in the US, about four hundred US dollars.
As we were gonin' through we had to change the power supply
because it was literally letting off
some weird crackling noise and that wasn't the fan either,
so I've never seen that before.
And then we had the cooler, we had to change that over
'cause it just didn't fit.
And along the way, we came into some different problems
like the CPU not being able
to get as high as I'd liked it too,
so we ended up settling for 4.14 gigahertz,
even trying some different memory out, didn't help that.
So we're stuck with the original DDR4 Corsair memory,
got that the 2666 megahertz, and at these speeds
it did a phenomenal job of playing games with the RX 580.
At first I thought it was an RX 570,
that's 'cause I just had the initial Windows
installed drivers that get pre-installed from Windows Update
on that rig, and then we updated the drivers.
And it was funny, 'cause I was playing
Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and the first I was like,
this FPS numbers are way too low,
and I'm seeing an RX 570 pop up, and I'm like,
damn did I get hosed with this graphics card?
And I thought, no way, and then updated the drivers.
And the performance literally doubled in this game
just by a driver update, so that was impressive.
I then had my RX 580 becoming unlocked
from the driver update, which again,
I've never seen that before either, pretty weird.
And then speaking of Assassin's Creed Odyssey itself.
It played really nicely on low and high settings,
low setting seem to stress out the CPU a little bit more
and match it, sort of a 100% to a 100%
with the RX 580, and we did overclock the RX 580
and got some decent overclocks out of that too,
we got to 1,430 megahertz then the memory went up to
2,250 megahertz, which is quite pumped.
And then going back into Odyssey
and changing it to high settings,
the GPU was again sitting at a 100%
and the CPU was being a little bit less utilized.
So the results were pretty similar though,
I mean graphically this game
looks really nice at high settings,
but low settings you'll get a little bit more FPS.
But I'd honestly just stick it
at high settings for this title.
And it did honestly have lot less stuttering,
I actually didn't notice any visible stuttering at all
playing in the normal game mode, as opposed to
the previous Assassin's Creed Origin, which I've played.
And that had some real noticeable hiccups and stuttering.
So they've definitely improved it
compared to the previous installment.
Now we decided to boot up this new game
called Ring of Elysium.
And it was free to play and it was surprisingly really fun.
It's like a mix between Fortnight and also PUBG.
Except they've got both things right from the get-go.
The game is really well optimized
and it's also a lot of fun, it sort of takes both elements
and it has that more realistic look
that I honestly do prefer with PUBG
over Fortnight's cartoon-style graphics.
And the good news is it plays really well.
So optimized both on the CPU,
utilizing near a 100% on those four cores a lot of the time.
And then the graphics card as well, a 100% at 1080p
was being utilized too.
So it does seem like it's a little bit hungry for GPU power.
But once you stop it down to low settings,
you'll still get a really good look
and a really enjoyable experience.
But do stay tuned, I will be doing a cheap potato
for this PC title in particular.
Since it is free to play
I'm sure a lot of you guys out there
will wanna see what's the cheapest
we could do this title for.
Because I do see this game, Ring of Elysium taking off
and being the next PUBG and Fortnight in my opinion,
it's looking really nice.
And honestly, it's actually a lot of fun.
I do, from my first get-go, prefer it
over PUBG and both Fortnight,
and I played a lot of PUBG as well,
so that's saying somethin'.
This title's actually pretty cool.
But as you guys know, sometimes I don't get things
a 100% all the time, I usually come into little problems,
sometimes I come into big problems.
And this build just had these problems
that just popped up all the way through the build.
As again, the biggest thing that disappointed me
was probably those overclocks
not going anywhere near what I wanted them to go to.
I would've been happy with around 4.6 gigahertz,
which I know these CPUs, especially the four cores
are capable of doing.
But since it had such a low multiplier being the 6500TE,
it just wouldn't go any higher than 4.14 gigahertz,
putting the onus back on the motherboard.
The Noctua cooler, I'll probably change that over
for something like a $10 cooler that's a lot cheaper
since it's now not putting out really any heat at all.
And also, that problem with the power supply,
I mean what was going on there?
It was making some weird clicking noise
and that wasn't the fan either, we cut the fan off
and that is really dangerous.
That could like, seriously, I don't know...
I've never seen a power noise like that before,
that still booted up the PC.
So, I think it's something crazy waiting to happen.
(planks exploding apart)
But with all that aside, everything ended up
working out in the end.
If you're gonna do the Z170 overclock, the non-K overclock,
I'd recommend going for something
with a higher multiplier for starters.
But when all's said and done, this is a PC
that not only has good price performance still,
it does perform really well
with that RX 580 doing a great job.
It also looks pretty decent,
I am digging that front LED fan, the red fan on this build,
plus the case was a breeze to build in.
And I mean we did come into some problems,
but that's what happens sometimes
when you building used PCs.
But in the end we still have a PC
that plays games really well
and it still has pretty decent price performance.
Not the best price performance
that I'm used to providing you guys,
but nonetheless it does get up and go and that RX 580
does look really good and it does perform really well too.
But one thing to keep in mind
with those Z170 non-K overclock,
something that's important to mention is,
you may come into some problems
with the temperatures sitting at a 100 degrees
even though they're nowhere near a 100 degrees.
And so, that's something to keep in mind,
also the C-states don't work properly.
Some of those notes as they said
in that custom and bios update will apply,
depending on the motherboard you use.
And of course, I would recommend
going with something with a higher multiplier.
So, probably not going with these T or TE CPU skews,
unless you get a good motherboard
that you know goes really high on the B-clock.
And that's about it for today's budget build.
If you guys enjoyed this one
then be sure to hit that like button
and let us know in the comment section below.
Have you either tried the new Ring of Elysium
or the Assassin's Creed Odyssey, or have you played both?
Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions
on these titles.
And as always, I'll catch you in the next one.
Peace out for now.
Bye.
And also, I delidded the CPU
and I really didn't need to delidded it.
Because yeah, 4.14 gigahertz,
such a letdown.
