overclocking

Hi guys I was wondering if you'd be able to tell me if I can overclock an i5-3570 using a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H. I know you aren't meant to be able to overclock non-k chips but I have read in places that you can. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Josh.

Hello there!! hope all is good with everyone. I am trying to overclock my system to reach at least 4.4Ghz which I am sure it’s capable of based on many guides and review I came across, however, I could only run the system in stable state till 3.9Ghz. Let me first put down my specs: Process...

Hey i bought the i7 9700k pre-binned 5.0ghz and having problems overclocking it. I have gigabyte aorsus master motherboard, for the auto overclock settings the motherboard has the cpu at 4.6ghz with 1.248v. well it goes up and down a little because its on auto. so i followed the gigabyte guide...

UPDATE: Bios F40 has been released a bit ago bringing support for 3rd gen Ryzen. Not sure if it brings any new functionality but things seems shifted a bit in the bios. Also Gigabite has released a list of the supported cpu's which includes to my surprise really the 16c 32 thread monster...

I think the CPU won’t push any more as it wouldn’t stop the Prime95 test when I pressed stop it sort of froze up, the GPU might go further? , I already have threads asking questions about over clocking them but that was on how to go about it, this is more of a general question and show off of...

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...

Hey guys. I recently attempted an overclock on my AMD FX-6300, and yes I know it’s a bad CPU. I overclocked to 4.2gHz with a voltage of 1.275v. Everything seemed stable after a stress test. I went into PUBG and my frames were below 30 (low to mid 20s) and dropping to the low 10s at times, I...

Hey guys, So I'm a first time OC'er and have a pretty decent rig which I use purely for gaming, I have been following some basic guides online to increase my i5-8600K from it's factory 3.60Ghz. My specs are as follows: Case: Phanteks Enthoo MOBO: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 GPU: Palit...

Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm running a 7820X on a bus of 100, multiplier x47, stable at about 1.25v using offset vcore (so each core varies slightly). They all get to about 80°C after 30 mins of Realbench and I've sent it off for de-lidding (really don't fancy tackling...

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...

So a few days ago i thought i would give linux another try. First gave Mint a go but that ended up being so much hassle for 3 hours into the night due to not wanting to install the boot loader(some amd64 error) and then going with Debian which installed nicely and without issues but taking a...

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...

Hey! I have OC problems with my Ryzen 5 1600 on Asus Prime X370-Pro for the last 4 bios versions (on the newest one, 3402, also). I set 3.8GHz, voltage on 1.38 and CPU LoadLine Calibration on Level 3. When i saved changes and left bios i runned OCCT. Voltages were jumping about 1.46V after only...

hey peeps! contemplating adding watercooling to my set up to overclock it to get some extra oomph out of my machine Bits: AMD fx 8350 gigabyte 990fx ud3 32gb Ram (can't remember at the moment) gigabyte gtx 970 4gb mini what would be the best set up to get the best out of my system? how many...

I'm looking g at a few coolers for the 8600k, and would be looking to do a small OC of about 4.8Ghz The main coolers I'm looking at are the Corsair h80i v2, or the CM Seidon 240V. The other options are some low profile, top facing coolers. I've seen the Cryorig C1 or the Big Shuriken 2 Rev.B...

Hi! I'm currently overclocking an x4 860k on an ASRock A88M-G3.1 but can't get the Voltage above 1.387 without instant crashing on any frequency Is it just the max the board can handle or am i missing something?

I'm not planning on going higher than that. Have a MSI X370 motherboard with Ryzen 7 1700 with the wraith cooler. Any ideas? Thanks

I recently have gotten a motherboard (Prime B350-PLUS) with a CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 1600) and some RAM (2x4GB 3000MHz, Corsair Vengeance). The RAM is on the QVL of the motherboard. On default my motherboard sets the RAM frequency to 2133MHz and the voltage to 1.2V. If I try to change the frequency...

Helllppp!!! I have recently inherited my step dads gaming pc I have posted the build I have below, I am a streamer and avid gamer but recently I keep getting messages saying over clocking failed (when the pc boots up) I have flashed the motherboard and turned the settings down to normal but now...
