overclock

Hi there! Couple of questions , I did my first GPU overclock on MSI afterburner yesterday, I pushed it from stock by 100mhz and saw a small difference in benchmark, it’s a gtx 1050, it doesn’t really need it as I’m using a fixed old build as a photo and video editing computer , but anyway, how...

Hi iv overclocked before , but I changed the multiplier to 37 3.7ghz on a Ryzen 1600, but I’m running a stress test and cpu z is showing the multiplier at x15? Think it’s to do with the power states and cool and quiet and all that business but I’ve forgotten which ones you turn on or off to keep...

I have recently tried to set up a Windows XP VM on my Windows 10 Pro PC in order to play some old games that are not compatible with my current OS. Since that time the PC has been sporadically freezing and I have to button it to use it again. I faintly remember something about Ryzen (or was it...

I have a Ryzen 7 1700 and GTX 1080 setup. I game at 1080p resolution and I noticed that my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU severely at stock speed. I wanted to overclock it abit, but the problem is that my CPU is absolutely trash at overclocking. It sometimes wont even boot at 1.3V just for a 3.6Ghz...

Hi guys, but of a novice when it comes to building rigs but about to get a ryzen 1700 mainly for video editing. I'm not into water cooling and noise doesn't bother me so would like to keep the stock cooler. What's the typical overclock I can expect and what is the max voltage I can expect to run...

Hi, I recently bought an i7 8700k and am trying to overclock it to at least 4.7GHz. Unfortunately I can not get it stable at anything past 4.5GHz even at 1.4v. This is using fixed voltage. I am using OCCT to test stability and so far I have only got to 4.5GHz using 1.3v. Another thing I've...

Hello guys, I'm currently testing DDR4 2400mhz on 14-14-14-34 with row refresh cycle time 278 on default voltage (1.2V). It's running fine, but my question is, because I want to try CL13 do i need to increase the voltage to 1.25V ? BTW my memory is Crucial 2x4 GB (by default it's 2133MHz CL15)

Hi Guys I just took delivery of my new gaming rig and its great. I thought i'd tamper with some Overclock settings ( I haven't done in a while ) I changed the Overclock setting to sync all cores and when I try to enter 45 (4.5ghz), I got an error about an N number and it wont go higher than...

Good day all, I've just invested in the i7-8086k processor after my 6800k failed and was causing freezing issues. I use my rig for gaming, and my main game is WoW (which I know is more CPU heavy than GPU). Now, I'm a complete novice when it comes to overclocking, and reading output and such...

I have been looking for guidance or at least some overclocking results for the 2700 Ryzen+ I had got one on launch day and have since 'played around' with the overclock to find a two hour stability , yet I still have to do some fine tuning for better results . Or perhaps revert some of the...

Hi, I have been using Intel XTU to overclock my CPU up until now. I have now started using my BIOS. I have a Z270 Gaming K3 GB Mobo. I can't seem to find a solution to the problem I have with this board: I can set my Overclock in the BIOS fine. The overclock the will stick when I save it and...

I overclocked my i7-4790K today. I went with a fairly modest 4.5Ghz, using a voltage of 1.20V. So far, things seem good (I use the PC to run X-Plane 11, almost exclusively). As expected, the CPU temperatures reported at idle are now higher than before. At the moment it is pretty warm in London...

i'm looking for some help Cpu: i5 7600k. Cooler: h100i v2. Psu: EVGA 650W gold. Mobo: z270 Gaming pro carbon. Ram: V LPX 8Gbx2 @3000Ghz. Gpu: 1060 OC 6GB. Where do i start simplicity first Built new PC - Tried OC ez way - Experimented more - Read more - now stuck on the final hurdle. Through...

Hey, I've finally decided to OC my 3570k after 6 years or so... I was just wondering if there's a difference between increasing the stock or turbo clock speeds? I've set the Turbo multiplier to 42 and benchmarks and stress tests run at 4.2ghz but just wanted to be sure I did the right thing or...

Got my new Ryzen 2700x & x470 Asus ROG Swift-F motherboard today & I have clocked the CPU to a stable 4.2ghz at about 1.34v, but the RAM I am having trouble with, Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3400mhz 32GB, (4x 8GB) I just can't get it to clock past 2933mhz without crashing, timings are standard XMP...

Hi I've recently just built a pc and I'm planning on overclocking everything but I've never done it before so if anyone knows the best and safest way to do this or has any tips or videos then that would be great. I'm planning on overclocking my cpu to 4.4ghz or higher if possible with my...

Hi all, For the first time in a long time, I've bought a complete system, and gone for a full AMD build: 2700X, Asus x470 F, Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 3600, Asus Vega 64. The eagle eye'd among you may have realised that the mobo doesn't support 3600 ram, its max is 3466... Rather than the ram...

Hello OC! I have read numerous threads and guides covering overclocking. All of them indicate "safe" CPU voltages. That's fine. However, how do I reliably read CPU voltage? What I input in BIOS is different to what BIOS reads. Core Temp, CPUID etc. all give different values that are...
