Make CPU Turbo Faster??

Hi, so i have an underpowered I5 4440s that cannot even play back 4K videos off of the SSD... It turbos up to around 2.89GhZ. Is there a way to make it go faster. I don't care about TDP or anything like that as i have an 850watt PSU and a hyper 212.

 

(I know the PSU is overkill i plan to re-use it with an i9/ryzen 7 build at some point. Aso it runs fanless ATM!)

Not really, only with BCLK OC but that will give you 5% higher clocks at most if you are lucky... not worth it.

 

Which 4k videos do you play? Are those HEVC (x265) ones?

I don't actualy know. They are ones from OBS that i recorded... It records them fine, and i can play them back fine of my laptop with a 7300HQ, but my desktop just cant handle it. How do you do BCLK overclocking?

No, you cant. The CPU has its clock multiplier locked and most motherboards matched with this dont allow BCLK control. Even if it does it's at most 5%, usually even less than that.

 

Natural for 4K videos to play badly with a CPU like this, so does my 4460. You need a graphics card (even the worst will work as long as it's reasonably new)

BCLK (Base Clock) is in BIOS and is by default set to 100.00MHz.

Increasing it by 1MHz will increase your clock by 1% ... but not just on the CPU but on EVERYTHING which will lead into instabilities very quickly. Thats why just 5% is considered to be a lucky OC as that is already too high.

 

Anyway, do you record games with OBS and the videos stutter? Are you sure it is not because you are dropping frames during recording?

I have a 1050... Is there a way to enable GPU acceleration in VLC?

Fairly sure, as i was recording with around 70 percent cpu usage in CoD World At War

Yes.

 

Tools -> Preferences -> Inputs / Codecs -> Hardware Accelerated Decoding ->  Direct3D11 Video Acceleration

 

EDIT:
You may need the nightly build of VLC 3.0 to do it this way

Perferences --> Video, enable 'hardware acceleration'

I think we might be on different versions of VLC... I have attached screenshots of those tabs.

Yeah, I edited my post, you need the nightly build of VLC 3.0

Check my post above again, I edited in the link after I replied :D

Thanks! It is working great in VLC, one more thing though, I want to edit in Sony Vegas 13... Is there a GPU setting for that as well (i know how to enable it for rendering and it sits at 11% usage...)

Sorry, I never used Sony Vegas so I wouldnt know.

Glad that VLC is now working well for you though.
