@spring valve you probably wanna press F1 and set your settings to default and then set XMP

spring valve

that is normal

spring valve

nope

#

not for me

exotic sparrow

you should've been able to clear your settings, then set XMP, then restart

spring valve
#

I did exactly that and it didn't boot.

#

Did you un raid it

spring valve
#

Dunno what that is

sterile flame
#

Well apparently you set it to raid mode

@sterile flame 👀 what kinda cooler u got on that

blazing venture
#

senior has won the lottery with that cpu

sterile flame
#

A 212 evo with deltas tied on with a Nike dadshoe shoelace

#

that’s about as bootleg as I’d expect from u ngl

sterile flame
#

and yet i yeet on everybody else with the same chip

#

Why a 212

sterile flame
#

for the memes

#

I overclocked a 6600k to 4.9ghz on a 14 year old TT big typhoon

#

it was a bit toasty though

#

realistic overclock goals on a 2600 should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-4.2 ghz

#

mostly closer to 4

manic helm
#

At 4ghz you can use it to get some #1 3dmark scores like this epic one I did

#

😄

sterile flame
#

best i've seen on a stock cooler was 4.1 stable

#

nice dude

#

that's hilarious

manic helm
#

time spy extreme on a 1gb card. so much powah

#

It was surprisingly hard to get the few points I needed to get past the #2 guy

#

not much room for improvement with scores that low

#

just playing with this old atom

#

sterile flame
manic helm
#

I have killed lots of hardware, never just from high clocks

quick rose
#

Nope, it just BSOD's

#

You reset, good to go

#

I have killed a CPU with too much voltage though.....I kept it as a momento of my oopsie

manic helm
#

except maybe some ram on a radeon 32mb card back in the day, but that could have also been moisture

sterile flame
#

power=heat. if you undervolt a vega 64, you can reduce the heat and raise the frequency

manic helm
#

I stuck the case outside my window when it was about -10F

quick rose
#

WHOOOO

sterile flame
#

hell yea man, you can get mad overclocks like that

manic helm
#

she ran good until she didnt

sterile flame
#

This channel better

manic helm
#

later in life I just did a custom loop with the rads in a box that could go outside the window, but that was a condensation maker

quick rose
#

Still arguiing in main chat

#

-_-

#

Oh for sure

#

SOmeday I'll do a custom loop

#

but not in my NZXT H440

manic helm
#

This was around 2004ish

sterile flame
#

@solid arch look at all the room we have here :)

manic helm
#

had a giant tower and a separate box with the rads. Was a pain carrying it around so I put quick disconnects from an air compressor and big ugly brass ball valve shutoffs.

#

that system was so much of a frankenstein

#

I wish I could find the cpu block from it. I would like to try it on a modern cpu

sterile flame
#

my waterblock is arriving tomorrow, i'm pretty hyped to get this up and running

#

i got a massively powerful pump to boot

sleek quest
#

PSA: Increasing frequency and only changing frequency will cause power consumption and heat to rise. To avoided this you also change voltage and/or use better cooling

#

Frequency itself can cause changes in heat, that's a very basic known about overclocking.

manic helm
#

I don't think this poor atom is going to do very well, Its been years since I tried using it.

#

the board boots after I fixed it, but cinebench is crawling along very slowly

vital dagger
#

trying to find the limits of my ryzens memory controller and ram

manic helm
#

A mighty 43 points in cbR15

#

you could possibly get up to 5000mhz on the ram

#

but you will need voltage

#

lots and lots of voltage

vital dagger
#

you get worse performance on ryzen 3000 parts when you are no longer in 1:1 with fclck

#

3800 1:1 (so 1900mhz) is the golden cpu territory, that + tight timings is about as good as you can get on them

#

mine hangs during boot when trying to start the gpu at 3800 1:1

#

so 3733 1:1 (1866) looks to be as high as I can get

manic helm
#

3800 is a lot to ask from the pcie at 1:1

vital dagger
#

it's all tied to the memory controller on the cpu

manic helm
#

ya, but you can drop out of 1:1 to get higher. performance might not be ideal, but it would allow you to play around with higher frequencies just for the fun of it

vital dagger
#

hence the 4133 xmp above, I tried it

#

been there done that, went back to 3733

#

i'm all set memory wise at least if the ryzen 4000 parts can do higher 1:1

manic helm
#

on my old z170 I had to drop fclk to 800 to get over 200 bclk. it would just freeze hard at POST

#

the fact that they can go that high is an improvement. my 2600 has issues with getting 3200 stable and my 2700x wont go over 3400

vital dagger
#

yea basically every 3000 cpu can do 3600 afaik stock

#

provided you have good memory/mobo

sterile flame
#

here's the thing though. it's not "frequency" per se, but workload and intensity of said workload. frequency (c) means nothing when latency and throughput are ignored. given these conditions, frequency allows for heavier workload over (t) period of time when latency remains the same. given heavier workload with latency being the same, throughput (d) increases. if throughput requirement increases, more transistors will need to switch within a clock cycle. there is a power requirement (p) for switching (z) number of transistors. there is a static number of transistors (a) within a core
the passage of clock cycles exists independently from that of throughput, however, the reverse is not true.
d/t=z
(z/a)=d
if z>a then d/a=c
p:d
What can we infer from this?

manic helm
#

that math is hard?

vital dagger
#

if every measurable metric is lower when tested when at a higher clock speed on it vs a lower clock speed, there's zero point going for the higher clock speed

#

now if my bandwidth increased a bunch at a higher memory speed but my latency suffered, there would be use cases that would benefit in some work loads

manic helm
#

I wouln't say zero point. its all about having fun if you enjoy pushing hardware to its max

vital dagger
#

but everything went down

manic helm
#

these guys pushing m die to 5ghz+ arent doing it for performance, its all for epeen

sterile flame
#

btw, IF is your bottleneck there my man. best latency you could ever hope for on a subzero suicide voltage run is 50ns for mem latency at IF clock of 2000

manic helm
#

LN2 clocks don't mean anything for real work, but people put a lot of effort into it

#

and a lot of money

sterile flame
#

but the conclusion we draw from what I posted was that power depends on throughput

vital dagger
#

there's an oc forum with a topic on 3000 part latency's and even at the highest 3800 with the tightest timings no one is getting sub 60 ns

manic helm
#

I am sure some people at intel are still bitter that amd holds the highest clock speed record

vital dagger
#

at least when I last looked a couple months ago, can't recall the forum now

sterile flame
#

best me and da boyz ever got on any zen was 50.4 or so ns on a 1920x

vital dagger
#

zen 2 has looser latency yea

manic helm
#

I think the best I have seen on my 2700x is around 70

vital dagger
#

zen+ can get tighter

manic helm
#

but I haven't pushed it too hard

sterile flame
#

power is correlated with clockspeed via throughput,

#

power scales slightly exponentially with throughput

#

when the throughput is bottlenecked by how many transistors may be switched in each clock cycle, then power and heat scale with frequency up until the point where throughput becomes bottlenecked by the latency/bandwidth limitations imposed by the other components

#

SO
FREQUENCY != HEAT

manic helm
#

higher frequency will increase heat even at the same voltage, but not enough to kill anything. especially modern hardware that monitors temps all over the cards and will throttle to protect itself

#

everything is power limited these days, so unless you go crazy and start bypassing power limits its really hard to kill a card

#

something like the vega 56 mods that GN used is definitely into the degradation range

sleek quest
#

you literally just argued for why frequency does increase heat.
here let me dumb it down for you. A transistor has 3 leads, A B and C. Positively charged materials is around Leads A and B with negatively charged material in between. Lead C is on the edge of the negatively charge material. When potential current is waiting at lead A and another current is applied to Lead C current passes to lead B and a small amount of heat is produced as a byproduct. if you were to rapidly pulse a current on lead C it would take more power and create more heat in a given time frame. If you pulse lead C even faster that's more total power used and even more heat. Lets call the pulsing of lead C Frequency as it is the speed of which you are pulsing. Increasing the frequency of pulses takes more power and creates more heat byproduct.

This is a VERY basic concept in entry to electronics. Now intender is correct if you don't disable safeties a CPU/GPU will clock down to save itself from over heating.

blazing venture
#

I like to throw caution to the wind.

sterile flame
#

did you read what I wrote?

solid arch
#

Did you read what you wrote?

sterile flame
#

yes, heat is dependent on transistors that are actually switching.

sleek quest
#

yes and when you increase the the frequency of a CPU/GPU you increase the rate the transistors are activated, that's LITTERALLY what frequency means. Now technically that's 1 or 2 layers removed by IPC but the frequency means CLOCKS per seconds and IPC means INSTRUCTIONS per CLOCK. every instruction will activate transistors.

sterile flame
#

if all transistors are switching, then the chip would be consuming insane abounts of power

#

and idle and load would be the same

#

but that's not the case is it?

sleek quest
#

NPCMechanicFacepalm if you are putting a CPU/GPU under load at 100% usage the reason it does more work at faster frequencies is because the transistors are activating much more rapidly

#

it's not a hard concept to understand

sterile flame
#

so there are transistors that are activating less rapidly on idle?

sleek quest
#

not really

sterile flame
#

then what do you mean activating much more rapidly

sleek quest
#

they activate just as rapidly as at full load, the amount work changes and the amount of transistors used changes

sterile flame
#

that's it man

#

the amount of transistors being used changes

#

with the amount of throughput

#

like if you had read what I posted you would see that's what I said

sleek quest
#

and I'm saying if you are at 100% load like you would be in a benchmark the reason it works better with higher frequencies is the transistors are activating more rapidly than if it was at full load with a lower clock

#

that's the entire point

sterile flame
#

you straight up didn't read what I posted

sleek quest
#

you don't understand what you posted. increase in frequency at the same given load will cause more heat.

blazing venture
#

I wish ya'll would give it a rest.

#

lol.

sleek quest
#

that's what I've been saying the entire time

tight plinth
#

I would take a guess that Shingle took some sort of thermal dynamics course given the equations that were given

sterile flame
#

you make me feel like I haven't felt in years

sleek quest
#

less total load/usage != lower frequency

sterile flame
#

and yet equals less heat

sleek quest
#

that's a no brainer

sterile flame
#

they are correlated

#

It's not 1:1

sleek quest
#

more load and more frequency BOTH cause more heat

sterile flame
#

its loaded transistors per clock

sleek quest
#

when you run a stress test you are sitting at 100% CPU usage/load
that stress test at 3.5GHz will produce less total than that same exact test at 4.0GHz.
The load didn't change, the frequency did

sterile flame
#

lets say 5,000 out of 13,000,000,000 transistors are loaded per idle clock cycle. 12,999,995,000 are just chillin. clock speed is the same

#

no, the load very much so changes

#

you get more load per second with what you said

sleek quest
#

you can't increase the load more, it's literally 100% CPU usage there is no 110% usage, you don't have a magical extra core with extra transistors

#

you can increase the speed at which the load is handled

tight plinth
#

Get a shovel and dig some 💩 in a given amount of time.
Now do the same but faster. You now have dug more 💩 in the same amount of time. Therefore more load

sterile flame
#

you straight up don't get that frequency is independent from load

#

thanks hei

sleek quest
#

load in this sense means % usage of the when all cores are being used to their fullest possible it's at 100% total, 100% on every core, 100% on every thread

sterile flame
#

i'm outta here. you got btfo with an analogy about shoveling manure

sleek quest
#

the load doesn't change, the amount of work does

sterile flame
#

you still don't really quite understand it man

tight plinth
#

Two of the same CPUs but diff freqs, low (3.5GHz) and high (4GHz)
CPU high can do 114% of the load CPU low can

sterile flame
#

as i said earlier it's throughput dependent until you hit a bottleneck

tight plinth
#

Therefore you can see a 114% load

sleek quest
#

No i'm pretty sure my 140IQ brain understand it perfectly. Frequency increase at 100% CPU usage/load will be HOTTER. it's a well know fact of overclocking.

sterile flame
tight plinth
#

Just the perspective changes

sterile flame
#

big brain comin' through

#

nah, i'm out for real this time. if I stay I'll rip on you and get banned

sleek quest
#

maybe I'm explaining it too high level....

sterile flame
sleek quest
#

FASTER SPEED MEANS MORE HEAT.

did you get that one?

#

I can get in a call and say it slower for you

#

both usage of the CPU and clock speed are separate ways that both affect thermals

tight plinth
#

Think of load never changing perspective. When you OC the CPU the load is still looking at the base clock instead of the OC clock (again, we'll do 3.5 vs 4). At full load with that OC the utilization would look like 114% because it is comparing to the original clock

blazing venture
#

look you guys really need to chill with the back and fourth, keep it up i'm just mute everyone.

sleek quest
#

hei, you are thinking in terms of manual labor, not in the technical terms of a CPU.
If you think of load as work done, then sure. but that's not the proper terms for that

tight plinth
#

Which is probably where the miscommunication came through with this whole thing

sleek quest
#

fact is if you do the same thing at 2 different clock speeds the higher clock speed will be hotter.

#

that's all I've been trying to explain

tight plinth
#

Also what shingle was saying but in a different way

sleek quest
#

not really he is literally saying it isn't

tight plinth
#

Believe it was more of the physics stand point and how it was correlated but not directly related

#

I'm trying to keep it civil box

#

Don't worry

NPCMechanicFacepalm You're supposed to take screenshots of the under load temps when changing frequency before and after

sleek quest
#

😄 yay I'm a bit ahead for fire strike at that level of hardware

manic helm
#

I never really ran firestrike very often

#

your cpu carried you in those tests. my 2080 was a tiny bit ahead of your vii in gpu tests

#

and I mean a tiny bit. .4% and 1%

#

I don't think FireStrike likes overclocks with Afterburner. It never ran for me.

manic helm

honestly the only score I know my rank for is the one where I score 76 points in time spy extreme with my gt620 and got first place with all gt620's in extreme

Fire strike isn't as CPU weighted as Time Spy 😄

manic helm

my 2700x holds me back from getting top scores with my 2080

#

if I limited it to 2700x it might be ok

#

i love the new Radeon adrenaline 2, it makes overclocking a lot easier and more stable

manic helm
#

My gpu scores are higher than the #1 2700x/2080 score, I just haven't overclocked this cpu

sleek quest
#

nice

#

the VII potentially has a lot more room to clock than I gave it

manic helm
#

I really should try overclocking the cpu. still doubtful it will do much even on a loop

#

my first 2700x would overclock really well, this one not so much

sleek quest
#

my VII kinda won the lottery and performs above the average at stock so I hope that translates into decent overclocking XD

#

so far so good

#

funny enough when paired with the same CPU the VII has higher top results than the 2080

manic helm
#

I did a horrible job soldering the capacitors on this atom board

#

I couldnt find any that matched so I just put some other ones that I pulled of a dead motherboard together in parallel and soldered them with some speaker wire to the board

#

even used lead solder, so no rohs cert for me

sterile flame
#

Wait, what specs? if you want I can probs help

manic helm
#

it works

sterile flame
#

Need to match polarity , type (e.g. electrolytic, ceramic, Al-Poly, etc) and capacitance or use a combo that has equivalent C and ESR/ESL

#

Voltage can be higher usually - as long the above is satisfied

manic helm
#

the board was laying in a box and 2 caps got pulled out and a choke was knocked loose

#

the legs for the caps were still in the board, but the rest was gone

sterile flame
#

Perfect. Ya, those 16v 80uf etc electrolytic caps love to just burst when they feel like it after 5 -10 years

manic helm
#

replaced it with some 25v ones off an old am2 board

#

I just guessed at the capacitance

#

the caps have something to do with the ram I think since it only sees 1 stick of ram now unless i increase the voltage to the ram then both sticks show up and work normally

#

might quit my day job and start doing this for a living

#

and when in doubt just hot glue it

#

I used to be good at soldering. this proved that I need to practice more often

jesus why is it so like full of info

#

my brains gonna blow up

trim fern
#

Decent CPU

#

if you want to play Dauntless you're going to need to replace your GPU

paper yacht
#

damn it

trim fern
#

Like i may have mentioned overclocking a GT 620 you can't do much

paper yacht
#

damn im kinda sad rn

#

should i delete msi

trim fern
#

You can keep it there so when you have a new GPU you could still use it

paper yacht
#

alr

trim fern
#

Do you own a console as well?

paper yacht
#

yeah, ps4

echo zenith
#

Anyone have a good pc list for around 1k

trim fern
#

Could play Dauntless on there since it is also a cross platform game

#

cause my cousin plays on a PS4 and i play it on my Switch

paper yacht
#

wait so can i plug up my keyboard and stuff to the ps4 and play that way?

trim fern
#

Dauntless is better played with a controller to be honest

paper yacht
#

i mean yeah but i dont really enjoy controllers

trim fern
#

and certain games you can use a keyboard and mouse for consoles

paper yacht
#

ill look it up

trim fern
#

I believe Epic made their games work that way cause Fortnite works with keyboard on a PS4

#

But with Fortnite they have it keyboard vs keyboard and controller vs controller

paper yacht
#

damn it

#

so im leaning towards a no

trim fern
#

Well for Dauntless try it out with a keyboard first

#

also Dauntless is not Fortnite

#

There is one other thing you could use but to some would consider it cheating

paper yacht
#

what is it?

trim fern
#

it would mimic a controller

paper yacht
#

ah no thats not

#

ehh\

#

idk

#

im just gonna download dauntless and see how it runs on very low

exotic sparrow
#

Dauntless is not particularly demanding

paper yacht
#

oh?

trim fern
#

It is when using a GT 620

exotic sparrow
#

it utilizes shadows and light instead of a lot of textures, just enough textures

#

GT 620? oof

paper yacht
#

aw

#

i am broke boy so i cant buy a new gpu

exotic sparrow
#

that's unfortunate

paper yacht
#

yeah

exotic sparrow
#

you might do well running dauntless at a low resolution (848x480) and the lowest settings possible

#

but i can't say for sure

paper yacht
#

ill try it

#

cuz csgo runs at 50 - 60 fps on lowest settings and on 1260x760

#

depending on the map it can be 30 - 40

#

i also have this problem where if i change my res on any game, it automatically changes its brightness down

#

idk why

trim fern
#

You'd be able to play CS GO at 1080p at very high and dauntless on high settings

paper yacht
#

oh damn

#

my dream gpu is a gtx 1060

trim fern
#

I am using my dream GPU which is a 1660

paper yacht
#

goddamn gg

trim fern
#

But also i only play Dauntless on my Switch so

paper yacht
#

oof

#

i also need a new monitor

#

my "monitor" is actually a tv lmao

trim fern
#

i like it better on a console than a PC to be honest because i could also do Lan parties a lot easier

paper yacht
#

makes sense, its portable

#

its funny cuz i have a Razer Deathadder Elite, and a Razer Cynosa Chroma and my pc sucks and my tv is my monitor

trim fern
#

Lets say you're using the RX 570 ok

paper yacht
#

yeah

trim fern
#

Cause for FreeSync you could just use HDMI when using AMD cards

#

Also 75hz 1080p IPS for 105$ is very good

paper yacht
#

freesync?

trim fern
#

FreeSync pretty much eliminates any form of screen tearing when you have Vsync off

paper yacht
#

oh what

#

goddamn alr

trim fern
#

Ya i have to replace my monitor cause while mine has FreeSync i can't use it cause for Nvidia cards you need to connection VIA Display Port

#

and this monitor is only HDMI and VGA

paper yacht
#

oof

#

you want to see my wishlist for the pc?

trim fern
#

as a screen shot ok

paper yacht
#

oh nvm most of the parts are unavailable

#

damn it i got to update my list

#

should i just buy the pc already built?

#

or should i buy the parts individually and make it myself

trim fern
#

For what you want to play your system is fine you just need to replace the GPU and maybe the memory cause i don't know how much memory you're using

paper yacht
#

oh alr

#

but like i also want to play destiny 2

#

i might wait until i can work, and then buy my pc tbh

echo zenith
#

So I made this list.. this is my first list and I plan on building it sometime in the next few months. Input will be helpful

trim fern
#

Your CPU can handle Destiny 2

paper yacht
#

oh alr

echo zenith
trim fern
#

Go for a 1660 Super and from EVGA @echo zenith

paper yacht
#

idk why i clicked the link tbh i know nothing

trim fern
#

MSI Ventus is like the bottle barrel card just like MSI's MK 1 series

#

Anyways for Destiny 2 the recommended CPU for the game is a i5 2400

#

with a 1050 Ti or 570 you'd be able to play on high settings

#

This is why i suggested the RX 570 cause you'd be able to play on high

paper yacht
#

uh simplify dummy brain no follow

trim fern
#

minimum is what you need for low settings and recommended is what is needed for very high

#

you have the minimum for CPU but the GPU i suggest would be like the middle ground

paper yacht
#

oh i see

#

alr then, adding that to my list

trim fern
#

The only time you would need to replace your processor is for newer titles

#

well newer more demanding

manic helm
#

oh I missed the guy trying to overclock a gt620

#

most of them overclock reasonably well, its fairly easy to improve performance by about 30%, but sadly an improvement of 30% only gets you from 6fps to 9fps.

sterile flame
#

What is the best you can get on a 3400g

trim fern
#

For overclocking i would assume 4.4GHz

#

4.4 to 4.6

paper yacht
#

well im here again and well

#

a 30% bonus is still a bonus so ty for the info yall

#

is there anything i can change in MS1?

#

cuz the top 3 are unmoveable even with the settings

#

should i max the rest out?

neon rapids
#

afterburner?

reef folio
#

No pinned guides? Rip

dapper hound
manic helm
#

@paper yacht you can only change core and memory clocks. I was able to max out both sliders in afterburner, but I dont suggest you try to go that far immediately. Try something like +100 core and +100 ram. My core started to have issues around 850mhz for the few games i tried playing, but for benches i could max the slider. My ram went all the way to the max without issue. I might try unlock the BIOS some day for higher clocks but its just a card I have laying around so its no loss for me if it dies.

paper yacht
#

i can change the fan speed too

#

should i do that?

midnight moss
#

Cinnebench does not seem to know my clock speed XD

#

I am still the sadness with old CPU.

#

I realized I had to save the $$$ for taxes :'(

manic helm
#

wow thats an old build

#

I don't think I have ran 11.5 in a few years

vital dagger
#

enabling pbo gave no difference
I'm assuming as the default they have is "auto" that it's already enabled

#

cpu temp was locked on 68c during the test for a few runs after that, so a better cooler would help but kinda pointless for the small difference

manic helm
#

not bad, thats right where my stock 2700x scores

paper yacht
#

alr ive decided to sell my ps4 in order to buy a gtx 1060 and replace my 620

sterile flame
#

nice

paper yacht
#

scratch that, im buying a gtx 1660 since its better and cheaper for the christmas sale

neon rapids
#

dont get a 1660

#

get either a 1650 super or 1660 super

trim fern
#

Still nothing wrong with a standard 1660

neon rapids
#

yeah but its not really a good buy rn

#

its like the 2070

sterile flame
#

Depends on the price.

paper yacht
#

i mean newegg has it for 200

#

and the 1060 is also 230 on newegg so

manic helm
#

the 1060's are way overpriced right now since they arent making them anymore

fringe salmon
#

any old hardware is overpriced there

#

4790k for over msrp, ddr3 at ddr4 pricing sometimes, 8700k for more than 9700k usually. It's a mess

paper yacht
#

aw

exotic sparrow
#

the price of the vega cards is most amusing

#

the 56 is 279 and it's like well, that's not the worst i've seen

#

but the 64 is like 650-750 range

#

64s should be around the range of 250-275 at this point given their position in relation to the 5700

#

they are often that much used

neon rapids
#

rip undervolting on my 1070 ti

#

only got it to -50mV

#

but now it can do 2100mhz at 1.075V at like 65c

vast cave
#

Hah I did a stupid and got a 2080 super

honest hatch
#

i5 9600k 5ghz 1.328V idle temp 39c 😄 gaming 52-60c and stress test 10 mins max 70c

neon rapids
#

what stress test?

quick rose
#

Run that on an AIDA 64 test and see if it stays that cool. AIDA is hardmode

full canyon
#

When I run AIDA 64 on my 3900x the temp monitoring on AIDA 64 and Ryzen Master seem to have a fairly sizable discrepancy... AIDA says i'm tapping out at 49c and Ryzen Master says 60c, is there one that's known for better accuracy?

quick rose
#

Ryzen master

full canyon
#

Ok cool thanks

jaunty cosmos
#

what can i overclock my i7 9700k to if i have the Corsair h100i rgb platinum cooler

quick rose
#

Whatever the silicon lottery gods bestow upon you

#

Cooling is only part of it, not all silicon is the same

sterile flame
sacred wedge
#

So. Changed my cooler from a 120 to a 240 and the cooling is great now

blazing venture
#

awesome

sacred wedge
#

Was running 80c with stock clocks and memory at 2666mhz. Now cpu at 4.7 and memory at 3000 and barely touching 60c

stone axle
#

something about my build doesnt seem right

sacred wedge
#

I know nothing and am new to all this but would like to know what doesn't seem right

stone axle
#

something is bottlenecking and my gpu and cpu get overly hotter than before

quick rose
#

Game? hardware specs?

stone axle
#

mw, pubg, halo, kf2, smite, warframe, specs are gpu: asus gtx 1070 turbo ram: g.skill ripjaws v ddr4 2400 (2x8) 16gb psu: raidmax thunder 535w Mobo: Asrock AB350m Pro4 SSD: 512 gb WD black pcie m.2 HHD: Hitatchi 3tb 7200 rpm 64 mb cache cpu: 2600x

quick rose
#

I don't see anything there out of place other than the slow DDR4 ram. What do you mean by overly hot?

#

Has your FPS dropped?

stone axle
#

well my gpu reaches 180 farenheit which it never did through hdmi but now through displayport it like gets hot and my frames skip so much its hard to enjoy games

quick rose
#

82 C is toasty. Are the fans spinning up to 100%?

#

How old is the GPU?

stone axle
#

idk its age, but i open asus gpu tweak or try to but it never wants to open, and EVERY time i log in the fans say 31

quick rose
#

Instead of ASUS GPu Tweak, try MSI afterburner. Works with any nVidia card. Uninstall the ASUS software first

#

See if that gives you a different result

stone axle
#

whats the best way to uninstall

quick rose
#

Windows 10 - Apps and Features

stone axle
#

ALSO on my gf build i put my old 2600 in, bios and cpuzid say its running normal temps but speccy says its hot, which to believe?

#

is afterburner THE best?

quick rose
#

IMO, yes

#

I wouldn't trust speccy

stone axle
#

might get my dads gigabyte aurous 1070 as well

quick rose
#

BIOS is usually best

#

For SLI?

#

If BIOS and CPUZ agree, stick with that

stone axle
#

do you recommend kombuster to test gpu??

quick rose
#

No, If you're going to overclock, use something like the Heaven benchmark

#

Having too many GPU software installed can create problems

stone axle
#

ok so i have afterburner

quick rose
#

do the fan speeds register?

stone axle
#

fan speed says 31 %

sterile flame
#

If you're curious about overall PC performance, running a userbenchmark and linking us the results can usually help

quick rose
#

To the right of the fan speed number it says AUTO

#

Click that and make it Light Gray

#

then click the checkmark

stone axle
#

power limit 100% temp limit celsius, core clock 0, memory clock 0

quick rose
#

That's fine, those are for overclocking

#

Just want to see if the fan speed increases with load

stone axle
#

so click auto then the check below it

quick rose
#

Fire up heaven or another benchmark and see if the fan speed goes up with temperature

#

Ya

#

AUto should be light gray

#

Not dark gray

stone axle
#

it is lighter rn

#

so auto on

quick rose
#

K, check it then run a benchmark or something to see if the speeds go up

stone axle
#

wehre

quick rose
#

and what your temps are

stone axle
#

do i download speccy or cpuzid or where do i read

quick rose
#

In the Afterburner app

#

It will read real time temps and fan speeds

stone axle
#

so use heaven instead of userbenchmark

quick rose
#

I think it's a better test. userbenchmark didn't get my GPU very warm

stone axle
#

so the language and preset qualtiy etc do i change anything/

#

?

quick rose
#

Nope

#

just run it as is

stone axle
#

hit run or play now

quick rose
#

run

stone axle
#

nvm thats an ad lmao

quick rose
#

LOL!!!

stone axle
#

so what do i need to read

quick rose
#

Your GPU temps and fan speed during the run

stone axle
#

so i tab out??

quick rose
#

You preivously said it hit 82C

stone axle
#

it is laggin whuile typinhg wtf

quick rose
#

The benchmark should display GPU temp

#

see what it gets to

stone axle
#

benchmark has been saying 82 C but msi says 61C

#

wait only becasue i tabbed out it reach 82c in benchmark thing

quick rose
#

MSI fan speed go up above 31?

stone axle
#

file:///C:/Users/Adair%20Bear/Unigine_Heaven_Benchmark_4.0_20191224_2116.html

#

it went to 57 while i was tabbed out, and it is lagging while tpying rn with that app runing

quick rose
#

The benchmark score isn't important. The fan speed and GPU temps are

#

Lagging is fine, it's a whole system test.

#

More concerned with GPU temp

stone axle
#

it reach 82 in the software but while tabbed it dropped to 62 ish

quick rose
#

Yeah, that's normal while tabbed

#

So, I'd try and set a your fans to 100% and see if you can hear them

#

CLick the gear icon under the Fan speed box

#

then the FAN tab

#

Then set it all to 100% and see if the fans spin up.

stone axle
#

all of the points on the chart?

quick rose
#

Yep

#

That'll set the fans at 100%

stone axle
#

theres like 6 points, put them all to 100

quick rose
#

yes, just to see if the fans speed up

stone axle
#

ooooh the ramp up was weird looking

#

its loud af

quick rose
#

Ok, so we know that they work

stone axle
#

its ablower type gpu

quick rose
#

AH

#

But it doesn't do that when it gets hot?

#

in game?

stone axle
#

nope

quick rose
#

oof

stone axle
#

but the curve it had was weird

quick rose
#

Well, it's just a generic curve

#

I would custom set your own curve to have it go 100% around 70C or so

#

and see if that helps with temps

stone axle
#

the curve it shows on default had the fan run 50 % until it greaches 80C then theyre supposed to spin 80%

quick rose
#

I'd go 100% at 70-80C

stone axle
#

so 75? or starting at 70?

#

then what about the lower temps?

quick rose
#

I would run like 30% at 30C peaking out at 100% at 75C or something

stone axle
#

leave them at 40 and 50 %

#

?

#

currently 40% at 30C then 50% at 50C

#

then 100% at 70

quick rose
#

Sounds good

stone axle
#

or did ytou think 100% at 75 was better? also do i need to tweak anything in msi?

quick rose
#

Click apply, then the check mark in the original window

stone axle
#

and run the bench again/

#

?

quick rose
#

Ye

#

check temps

#

ALso, if you haven't cleaned out your card in a year or more, now's the time

stone axle
#

which check mark

quick rose
#

Big one under fan speed

#

If it's grayed out it's fine

stone axle
#

so apply, ok, check mark?

quick rose
#

Yes

stone axle
#

it was grey

quick rose
#

Ok, no problem

#

as long as you applied it will work

stone axle
#

so

#

the highest it hit was 71c, but the fan was running full blast loud the whole time it was that hot, what is a good degree area to be in for that

quick rose
#

71 isn't bad

#

However

#

If the card is over a year old, I'd recommend taking it out and removing the shroud and cleaning it with compressed air

stone axle
#

it was pulled out one of those slim desktop builds

#

now could it getting hot be why i was also having frames freeze and stutter even in simple games? or? almost like the g sync wasnt working

quick rose
#

Yes

#

Heat will slow it down

#

Or cause it to slow down, rather

stone axle
#

so youre saying i should try gaming on it at these settings and see if its still suttering

quick rose
#

AND CLEAN IT to help keep it cool and the fan from blasting. 😉

stone axle
#

ik a 1070 isnt the BEST for 1440p 144hz but it can run some games decent, i dont expect it to get those frames in pubg or cod but i didnt understanding why it was stuttering so bad, making games unplayable

#

ill probably figure out how to take it apart and clean it , is it hard on blower types

quick rose
#

No, it's easy

#

a few screws and the cover comes off

stone axle
#

base clock is 1506 and boost is 1750 on afterburner it says, do those matter?

quick rose
#

Then you can use compressed air

#

No, those are fine

stone axle
#

BUT is it bad for the fan to run 100 alot?

quick rose
#

It shouldn't. Typically a sign that either the card cooling fins are dirty or the thermal paste needs replaced

stone axle
#

youre saying it shouldnt run at 100% too often?

#

i really appreciate the help btw its been bugging me and i didnt know why it was performing worse after upgrading monitor and cpu

#

rn the fan says 1822?? mhz?

#

now my proccessor is warm as well when starting games? normal??

quick rose
#

Things being used get warm

#

It's normal

#

fan running at 100% with a blower style is fairly typical as those coolers don't work all that well

#

Keeping it clean can help keep the fan speeds down

stone axle
#

i will be getting my dads 3 fan 1070 when he goes to a 2070

#

2070 super

quick rose
#

Oh, much better than blower style

stone axle
#

does pubg use alot of cpu and cores

#

because my cpu gets hot on it

#

also what games do ypu play id be up to playing sometime

quick rose
#

I honestly don't play much

#

and yes, CPU can get warm also

stone axle
#

my cpu is 64C rn is that bad

quick rose
#

Nah

#

that's good

stone axle
#

well its got the worse cooler of the 2 lol

quick rose
#

Eh, the blower on the card is not good

#

avoid those if you can

stone axle
#

the cpu cooler is the stealth instead of the spire because we i had to temporarly put it on there

#

while i wait for a refund from my water cooler

quick rose
#

SOUnds like it's working just fine if temp is only 64C

#

If it were in the 70's I'd use something else

neon rapids
#

70 is still fine, 85+ isn’t so I’d start worrying if it was 80c+

wild glacier
#

When you hit 98

#

Faulty aio gamg

#

gang

neon rapids
quick rose
#

I wouldn't run my processor at 75-80C

#

coolers are so cheap, keep it cool, keep it happy

exotic sparrow
#

26 dollars for a Hyper T2

#

130W TDP

#

if you have an AMD CPU you probably can even overclock pretty nicely on it

wide robin
#

So I pushed my ryzen 5 2600 to 3.95 ghz but it wont sit stable at 4 ghz and I've pushed my voltage to 1.32V. When I run at 3.95GHZ I can run a cinebench test all the way through but at 4GHZ it wont stay stable. Most people can hold 4GHZ stable so I'm assuming I just lost silicone lottery or should I try to bump up voltage and see if it'll stay cool

green jetty
#

Ignore what I said.

#

Lol

wide robin
#

didnt even see it lol

hollow mirage
#

@wide robin have you tried 1.356v or 1.41v?

#

also if you don't think you'll get that much performance from 50mhz then don't bother

#

i can get my 2600x up to 4.15ghz stable all cores at 1.42v on the stock wraith spire cooler surprisingly.

spring valve
#

Hi guys currently have a I7 6700K Overclocked at 4.2Ghz and want to OC it to 4.3Ghz or more. Want to keep everything cool and stable. What do i change in the bios? Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VIII Hero ATX. If you need pictures of my voltages lmk

#

I have overclocked to something like 4.7 and I had a blue screen so I lowered it to this so its nice but now its time to change to find my match.

rain hatch
#

Follow this guide

#

Should get you somewhere, if not, at least more understanding

spring valve
#

@rain hatch i did that for my oc to 4.2

#

but what about voltages etc

rain hatch
#

Ahh hmm, I don't have much experience with that, but the general idea is increase clock multiplier till u r barely unstable, increase voltage for that clock, check if u r stable, repeat

#

Ull have to ask someone else for more detail

#

Also obviously don't increase voltage by high amounts at once lol

stone axle
#

theres still suttering when playing games what do i do

Sorting through some olds pics - figured this is a good example of how any good b-die kit can be manually clocked/timed to whatever you fancy.
This is with a $100 kit of Teamgroup dark pro 3200c14's, tRFC/tREFI at a very relaxed 360/16k
Given 1.5v vdimm, 1.25v sa/io - I'm guessing there's much more headroom to explore by tightening (all the) subtimings haha

midnight moss
#

Lol it said my ram was 113% one time

#

Speaking of

#

I tried putting my sticks in single channel. And I was actually able to overclock them to higher frequencies

#

But

#

Ya know performance wise

lone igloo
#

that makes sense

midnight moss
#

How so?

#

Please elaborate for my ignorance's sake

lone igloo
#

one channel only uses one lane so you can reach higher clocks but with 2 channels you double the lanes/bandwidth

midnight moss
#

I had the same number of sticks

lone igloo
#

same number of sticks on one channel vs same number of sticks on 2 channels

midnight moss
#

Yea

#

Single vs dual

#

As in putting them in where they belong

#

Vs riiight next to each other

lone igloo
#

so the higher the bandwidth the higher the latency which results in lower clock speeds its a give and take game

midnight moss
#

Ahhh gotcha

lone igloo
#

more channels = more bandwidth

midnight moss
#

That makes sense

lone igloo
#

the reason we use dual channel instead of quad channel is to find the middle ground between latency and bandwidth

midnight moss
#

Gotcha. Would it be possible to build a PC that has a custom motherboard that loads everything from your drive to a slower ram drive of quad channel 32 sticks and use 2 8s as system ram?

#

Slower than the ram

#

Other ram

#

Ack I think you know what I'm trying to say

lone igloo
#

you probably could but one thing I always tell people looking for the most speed is "you are always limited by your slowest part"

midnight moss
#

Yea

lone igloo
#

nvme drives are very fast now comparable to ram of the past or "slow ram" lol

midnight moss
#

Gotcha

#

Yeah I'm using a nvme as my boot and favorite game drive currently

lone igloo
#

I would say on a best you could buy nvme ssd you could hit like 5gbps read speeds and ram can probably do around 17gbps. However back when we had 5400 rpm hdds ram was like 100,000 times faster

#

its a great time to be a gamer

sterile flame
#

dual channel ddr4 can do 45-60 GB/s read, write or copy pretty easily

lone igloo
#

holy wow it got a lot faster lol

#

I didnt look it up or anything those are possibly ddr2 or ddr3 speeds

sterile flame
#

64 bits /channel, one transfer on each rise/fall of the dram clock signal, so for 3200c14 - that's-
128 b * (1600 * 2) /8 for 51.2 GB/s max read

edit - or just 3200 *8 /1000 = 25.6 GB/s per channel.

@sterile flame yes I see so ddr4 so should be able to reach a maximum speed of 64 GB/s and ddr3 was limited to a max speed of 16 GB/s

#

that is stupid fast

sterile flame
#

DDR4 can be pushed to 5000MT/s , there's no hard limit at 64GB/s read on dual channel - but it depends on the platform's architecture + config ofc.

i have a i5 6600k and my question is is it smart to overclock on a single fan water cooler?

quick rose
#

Maybe a little bit. Most 120mm AIO's are just OK for cooling. It can't hurt to try and see what your temps are.

reef folio
#

I mean, run a benchmark that forces it to full load for an amount of time. If your CPU maxes out at less than 70, you have a little bit of room to overclock.

quasi jewel
#

so if on the full load bench(like the one on msi aftherburner) reaches less then 70 i can oc to about 4.0?

quick rose
#

OC until your temps get too warm

#

Intel says maximum Tcase is 64C

#

So, maximum core temp is 80C or less.

lone igloo
#

I wouldnt take a 6600k over 72C

#

while you could take a 7600k to 95C

wide robin
#

Overclocking is a slow process @quasi jewel (sorry for the ping) like they were saying ^ you need to investigate into your chi. He's suggesting not over 72 so pull up a program that can watch temps for you then run a benchmark like Cinebench, CPU-Z, prime 95 etc. See what your temps get to right now. If you're manually over clocking go into your BIOS and set your multiplier a bit higher and run your bench mark again (I usually go by 0.5 ghz per run until it either overheats or becomes unstable) if you can run your benchmark within heat limits after bumping up bump it again (bump it based on how close you were to 72) if you hit the limit then don't go any farther. There is also the possibility you increase it and the system freezes. If that occurs up your cpu voltage to make it stable again then run your benchmark and monitor temps

#

Sorry for the long message it's just kind of a slow monotonous process. It can take a little while to figure it out and you want to make sure you do figure it out. My first time out I didn't know what I was doing and destroyed my cpu like smoke and all

#

Going online and seeing what other people can get with similar coolers can be useful because you can get a benchmark but you can get screwed by the silicone lottery

#

If you're real close to 72 ignore my 0.5 ghz do like 0.1

manic helm
#

why would 72C matter for a 6600k. TJmax is 100C.

#

You should have no problems with running it up to 90C without worry, but I would suggest trying to keep it under 85C just for longevity sake. I am currently running my 6600k on a cryorig c7 in a tiny 5.7L itx build. clocked at 4.5ghz it usually sits around 80-84C under load.

#

I dropped the clock to 4.2ghz for the sake of my ears since the fan on the c7 screams like a banshee at full load

#

@quasi jewel

#

generally speaking I would say try and keep it under 1.3v and you should be good. I think my chip is slightly better than average silicon, but I have had it up to 4.9ghz. I ran mine 24/7 at 4.7ghz for about 2 years at 1.37v on a 240mm aio and temps usually maxed around 75C. Now that its in my itx build I do 4.2ghz at 1.22v.

#

Is 3rd gen ryzen just bad for oc or would it be my b450 mobo limiting it?

#

Its not heat because its like 60 degrees under load

minor cape
#

Can anyone link me a guide for AMD master OCing with Dram?

sterile flame
#

If not. Its still a really great video

minor cape
#

nope seen it

sterile flame
#

Sorry :

#

:(

minor cape
#

Has to do with the ryzen master itself

sterile flame
#

3rd gen ryzen OC's itself better than what all but few users would be willing or capable of doing.
I see it as a feature - no /s intended -almost like how an 8 speed dual clutch automated transmission is often superior, yet less fun than an H pattern

Can someone tell me the highest frequency to overclock my 1700X?

ur gonna have to test that yourself my guy

Different chips OC differently

even if its the same model

#

I know nothing about OCing can a Ryzen 5 2600 be at least very slightly OCed with the stock cooler ?

blazing venture
#

maybe slightly.

manic helm
#

I overclocked mine to 4ghz on the stock cooler, it got warm.

fresh jackal
#

Or are there cheap coolers out there capable of OCing 2600 and 3600 also since I’ll be upgrading (more than a little, would like to push em GHz)

#

Yeh, I guess the stock coolers aren’t the best ones for OC

manic helm
#

and generally somewhere around 4-4.1 is about as far as they like to go

fresh jackal
#

Yeah, alright

manic helm
#

I can get mine into windows at 4.2 but its not stable

fresh jackal
#

I heard there are decent coolers though

#

For cheap

#

That can keep the CPUs cool most of the times

manic helm
#

I have the cooler from my 2700x on it now

quick rose
#

Scythe Mugen is a good air cooler

manic helm
#

anything like a hyper 212 should be good enough if you are looking for cheap

fresh jackal
#

Took note ty

#

Aren’t there a lot of Mugen versions ?

quick rose
#

Mugen 5 Rev b

fresh jackal
#

If I can afford both which one between hyper 212 and Mugen will have lower temps when OC

quick rose
#

Mugen

#

It's also big though, make sure it fits in your case

manic helm
#

I think there is one mugen that is fairly cheap, but if you are looking at spending that much money and have the space also look at the noctua d15

quick rose
#

212 = $40

#

Mugen = $50

#

Noctua D15 = $90

manic helm
#

there is one rev of the mugen that is $50, the others are around $100

quick rose
#

Mugen 5 Rev b

fresh jackal
#

I’ll think about it, I think shouldn’t spend too much money on a cooler though

#

I was thinking about the stock one for a long time

#

But then I thought about OCing and was like why not

manic helm
#

honestly anything more than that scythe is going to be overckill

#

the 2600 is not that hot of a chip

quick rose
#

Nope

manic helm
#

with the stock prism cooler at 4ghz mine usually stays under 65C

fresh jackal
#

Will be upgrading to 3600 or even 4xxx in the future though

manic helm
#

well stock from my 2700x

quick rose
#

If you're upgrading to that, go Mugen 5 Rev b or better

#

the 212 on my 3700x was no better than the stock cooler

fresh jackal
#

Yeah, alright

quick rose
#

I know the 3700x has more cores and runs hotter than the 3600

manic helm
#

if you can wait it out for the 4000 series it will probably be worth the upgrade assuming they don't have supply issues

fresh jackal
#

I think I’ll do 2600->4xxx

#

And if 4xxx are too expensive for me or whatsoever 3600

manic helm
#

I have decided to hold on to my 2700x. I originally planned on getting a 3900x, but the lack of supply kind of stopped that.

fresh jackal
#

Yeah, those are not in stock very often from what I see

manic helm
#

but with the 4000 series so close I feel like it would be a waste considering my 2700x still fits my needs for now. I just have to avoid the urge to upgrade.

quick rose
#

Yes

fresh jackal
#

If a CPU fits my needs I would stick with it for as long as possible

quick rose
#

February release ish

#

17% IPC increase

fresh jackal
#

Unless you want to test out something newer

quick rose
#

25% floating point

fresh jackal
#

February !🙏🏼

#

Intel releases are most prob January right

manic helm
#

they probably wont have stock in stores until the end of feb or march

fresh jackal
#

Intel or AMD ?

manic helm
#

intel

fresh jackal
#

Yep I guess that’s true

manic helm
#

I wouldnt expect amd to have anything on shelves before may

fresh jackal
#

AMD people might be switching to 10th gen

quick rose
#

Nah

fresh jackal
#

Some people I know are doing that

#

When they can cop em

manic helm
#

there are always fickle people that swap constantly

quick rose
#

and then AMD releases Zen 3 right after

#

and so on and so on

fresh jackal
#

Competition is still pretty alive between those two companies

manic helm
#

When I was younger I constantly bought hardware, I try not to buy as much anymore.

quick rose
#

I upgrade every 3-5 years

fresh jackal
#

The only computer hardware I own is a gaming mouse a MacBook Pro and a case lol

#

First build in March-april I think

#

Anyways thx for them coolers I’ll check em out

Happy Sunday

Hey guys, whenever my pc wakes up from sleep it freezes, and its a new build. Has a 9900k and 32 gb of ram at 3600 mhz... Processor seems stable at 5.0 ghz turbo, and its watercooled so my temps are always 40-50c even under load. Anybody have any idea what could cause this?

#

I have lifetime malwarebytes premium on and it scans everyday... so I dont think its a trojan causing usage spikes either...

sterile flame
#

um, how can I overclock the ryzen 7 2700x without damaging anything?

woven path
#

make sure you have a good cooler, and dont over voltage

lone igloo
#

Shouldnt be able to damage anything only like a 1% chance. Most of the time the cpu will shut itself off prior to damaging itself but yeah like @woven path said dont go crazy with the voltage

quick rose
#

Voltage is #1 CPU killer

#

raise everything else up until it quits, then raise voltage carefully

lone igloo
#

and slowly

sterile flame
#

scary

sterile flame
#

yeah man voltage killyness is relative

shy sequoia
#

i've yet to kill anything overclocking and my brain is like Dumb most of the time

manic helm
#

if you haven't killed anything are you even overclocking

#

But in seriousness, it requires some effort to kill modern hardware though. I occasionally see someone who just shouldn't be allowed near a computer, but most people are too afraid of killing something to ever push hardware far enough to kill it.

#

then there will be that one guy thats like, I overclocked my 9900k to 5.3ghz on air with 1.5v and its stable. And you just cant convince them that its a bad Idea.

shy sequoia
#

i mean yes

#

i am overclocking

#

my rx580 runs at 1499mhz

#

for some reason 1500 does not work

#

and precision boost overclock reaches 4.2Ghz on my ryzen 5 2600x

#

but like i'm just using fans and air coolers i have no reason to be heavy overclocking

astral trench
#

wtf man my rx 580 gets 1685 on air stable

#

and my 1600x gets 4.2 ghz on my dark rock pro 4 cooler at 65c max when using cinebench

#

R20 and blender

shy sequoia
#

how in the world do you get 1685

rain hatch
#

He goes fast

manic helm
#

Mine only does about 1585

shy sequoia
#

how about memory

manic helm
#

honestly never really pushed the memory

sterile ridge
#

Is the h100i a good enough AIO?

quick rose
#

Yes

#

It will keep the 3700x plenty cool

sterile ridge
#

Sweet

short blade
#

how difficult would it be to overclock 3600MHz RAM to 3733

sterile ridge
#

Pretty hard

short blade
#

my modules are rated for 3600 but ive heard 3733 is the sweet spot for ryzen 3000

#

my motherboard supports 3600 and 3733 so should i bother

sterile ridge
#

Eh

dull ginkgo
#

I think 3600 is the sweet spot, since avove that you need to oc infinity fabric

#

And it depends on what ram modules you have

quick rose
#

Not worth the bother

hey guys new to overclocking. just delidded my 7700k and put thermal grizzly liquid metal, no silicone to seal and have it clamped with the mobo. tested with aida64 extreme - stock i was getting 55-62c. i jumped straight to 4.7ghz and 1.29 volts. is that okay?

tender niche
#

simple question. components are only six-7 months old should i wait till warranties are out before trying to oc?

rain hatch
#

They're quite unlikely to go faulty at stock settings

#

So I don't see the benefit of waiting

#

But it's up to you

shy sequoia
#

@clever moat does it work

#

and has it exploded yet

clever moat
#

Yes and no

shy sequoia
#

are your temps normal

clever moat
#

After panels closed its 68-72 under load, highest spike was 78

shy sequoia
#

well if it works you should be perfectly fine

#

just don't go past like 1.5v

clever moat
#

Its the first time i manually set a voltage and just read that voltage is the main cause of killing a cpu so just asking if it was fine 😭

#

Oh okay

#

Def not

shy sequoia
#

your pretty safe my guy

clever moat
#

Thanks homie

Hello

#

i got a question can i overclock a i7-9700k on a asus prime Z370-p II motherboard the cooler i would be using is a cooler master hyper 212

sterile flame
#

yes but not too far

#

you can overclock, but just not very much, you will be thermally limited most likely

small ether
#

Can I overclock my pentium?

exotic rapids
#

the manufacturer has a specified speed at which the product runs

small ether
#

Ok

quick rose
#

No, your H61 motherboard doesn't allow that

blazing venture
#

I wouldn't suggest you over clocking anything on your pc Flight.

exotic rapids
#

overclock the case duh

celest linden
#

@exotic rapids u overclock ur monitor?

exotic rapids
#

i have not found time to properly do it

celest linden
#

Oh

small ether
#

Can I overclock my downloaded rgb?

exotic rapids
#

but raise it 1hz at a time, play a game for 5 min and check for errors

celest linden
#

U know a good overclocking video I can follow for monitor??

exotic rapids
#

uh

#

amd or nvidia?

celest linden
#

Gpu?

exotic rapids
#

yes

celest linden
#

NvidiA

exotic rapids
#

ok you overclock in the nvidia control panel

celest linden
#

Oh ok

#

What happens if I go from 75 straight to 99?

exotic rapids
#

crash

#

probably, or severe screen tearing

celest linden
#

Will it break the monitor or will it fix itself?

exotic rapids
#

how about don't do it?

#

most monitors can do 5-15hz above rated refresh rate

celest linden
#

I guess 80 is ok

exotic rapids
#

try that first

#

it might void your warranty btw

celest linden
#

Could I just say it was a power surge?

exotic rapids
#

no

#

because you changing the electronics within the monitor itself via software

wild glacier
#

Unless your monitor is rated to run higher on the box or smth

#

like mine came 120 but it said 144 on the box

quick rose
#

The effort to go from 75hz to 80hz isn't worth it. Especially at the cost of color quality which typically happens

wild glacier
#

Ye 4 frames won't help you much

#

5*

midnight moss
#

Yeah. I mean the difference between 60 and 80 tho...

#

That is noticable

#

Just shake your view a bit

#

You can see the frames

#

If it's 60

#

Or worse XD
