overclocking

[spiral vigil]

Want to oc it

[neon rapids]

@latent wolf might be either a bad chip that won’t let you oc much, but the armor cooler is pretty bad so it might be a thermal problem

[latent wolf]

@neon rapids You think rethermal pasting the heatsinks might help? I have had the card for almost 2 years

[dull ginkgo]

Has my card always been able to do +800 mem? HUH?

wtf this doesnt usually happen

+1200mhz mem

no artifacts?

lemme relaunch heaven

[sterile ridge]

Nice

[dull ginkgo]

Okay so

1500 locks it up

Ima keep it at +1200mhz

[latent wolf]

With the Radeon Overclock That the Driver software has I get 1300mhz. Base is 1230mhz

Thats If I let the software Auto overclock my card for me

[neon rapids]

@dull ginkgo putting it the highest might not be the best. My 1070 ti gets better performance at +400 than +600

[dull ginkgo]

Yea I know, I have it at +800 rn

[latent wolf]

Since You guys know more about how afterburner works I will ask how exactly do the settings in afterburner work? @neon rapids @dull ginkgo I havent been able to find a decent explanation on how it works.

[neon rapids]

-Core clock is how high the CUDA cores are clocked
-Memory clock is how fast the memory runs at (like 3200mhz ram and 3600mhz, but higher and vram)
-Temperature Limit is how hot the card will run before thermal throttling
-Power Limit is how much power (watts) you let the card draw (100w vs a 15% increase put it at 115w)
-Core Voltage or whatever pretty sure does nothing

Just max out power/tempature limits and slowly increase memory and core clock by +25mhz while running a intensive benchmark (heaven 4.0 and timespy for me) until it crashes

[latent wolf]

Ok. I dont think Radeon Cards have CUDA cores

It seems stable with the auto overclock at 1300mhz and the VRAM running at 1600mhz

I dont get any artifacting at all. Thats using the Radeon Settings though.

[neon rapids]

yeah amd uses Compute Units, but same principal as CUDA they handle the pixels and stuff afaik

[latent wolf]

Manufacturere website says the Ram clock is like 6600mhz. I was trying to get it to 7000mhz whixh is what the RX-570 runs

But I see a clock speed of 1600mhz on the RAM. That probably means I have a few RAM chips that went bad on me then Im assuming

Unless thats Each RAM chip is running at that speed

Im better at overclocking CPU and RAM than I am GPUs

[noble terrace]

My friend says hes going to kill himself because I raided him

on minecraft

[dusty jolt]

is it a good idea to overclock an i9 9900k to 5ghz

with closed loop liquid cooling

[proven canopy]

Yes

[sacred kernel]

@dusty jolt yes

[twin glen]

guys how should i oc the 1650 super i overclocked it on core +150 and memory +1500 but when i play games, after a while the game will froze and say that my video card drivers crashed

[hard ice]

back down on the OC

[twin glen]

i did

[hard ice]

further

[twin glen]

+140 and +1400

ill try +130

[hard ice]

it is your card.

[twin glen]

but like every guy said to me that the msi gaming x version can do +160 and +1500

[hard ice]

"every guy" is a raving lunatic then

silicon quality can differ

[twin glen]

oh

[hard ice]

you start with small increments and test

then if that is stable, you increase again

and test again

and you keep going like that

[blazing venture]

set to default, enjoy gaming.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[keen marsh]

Best OC for a NVIDIA RTX 2060 super?

[hard ice]

depends on the silicon

[frigid bane]

Should I overclock a ryzen 5 3600, and if so, to what?

[sterile ridge]

@frigid banedo you have adequate cooling?

[frigid bane]

I have a nzxt kraken x62

Maybe?

[sterile ridge]

Yeah

Thats enough

[frigid bane]

So should I or no?

[sterile ridge]

Just run a cpu intensive task while slowly increasing the speed until it crashes or thermal throttles

[graceful topaz]

Do not use any manual voltages higher than 1.29V preferably. 7Nm chips degrade easily over those set manual voltages. Turbo boosting the higher voltages are fine as those are used for a few milliseconds at a time, but constant voltages nope Prepare for degrade

Definite voltages to not go over depends on the specific lottery of the chip you own.

If i were you i'd rather just do PBO+XFR+AutoOC set to max possible

[frigid bane]

Just going to say yes 😂

I don't know anything that goes into PC building/anything relating to bios

This is going to be my first PC so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[hard ice]

do not worry/think about overclocking then

take the part of your budget that is used for that CLC for a better cpu instead.

[sterile ridge]

@frigid bane you dont have the parts yet? Then ditch the x62

[frigid bane]

Why, it thought it was good?

[hard ice]

a 2080 super is also good

[sterile ridge]

It is, but not for a 3600

[hard ice]

that does not mean you have to buy it

[frigid bane]

Then what cooler should I get then @sterile ridge

[hard ice]

based on your last posted buildlist, you are using 140 usd on the cooler

and 175 on the cpu

[frigid bane]

But itsnt the 3600 a good CPU?

[hard ice]

it is not the cpu part that is crazy

it is the cooler part

[frigid bane]

Oh

The thing is I don't like the big bricks that people use for their cpu cooler, so I thought an aio was the best for me

[hard ice]

a AIO is a big brick

it just has cables so that "brick" can be placed off to the side

[frigid bane]

That wasn't what I meant lmao, I don't like the big big brick with the fan on it that people use

[hard ice]

consider this

[frigid bane]

Idk what it is called😂

[hard ice]

its an air cooler, but you are most likely talking about a specific model

there are plenty of options for coolers

and most of them do not cost 140 usd

also, when you ask for suggestions/opinions in #building-and-recc-chat (or anywhere else) it is considered polite behaviour to respond when people suggest things for you.

[frigid bane]

My bad, I was in classes

Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler with 2x NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fans this is what I don't like, and I thought it was either this or an aio.

[hard ice]

there are literally hundreds of options

that is just one single model

[frigid bane]

Can we take this into #old-cooling please. I think that is more fitting😂

[queen berry]

Im looking to overclock a Intel core 2 duo e7500 any advice?

[latent wolf]

@queen berry Is it a OCable cpu as intel extreme series cpu's are the only ones i know can be overclocked. Other option is to play with the ram timings on a locked cpu cause it will also OC the CPU a little bit.

I OCed my A10-6700 by overclocking my RAM. I only got 300mhz of OC but still better than no overclock

[queen berry]

Ok ty but i have one more question
Can you overclock a pentium 4 extreme cpu?

[graceful topaz]

All of the Core 2 series CPU's are overclockable. Methods of OC'ing are just unknown to most of the younger (Sandy Bridge and newer startpoint) generations, which Viper seems to be a part of. It's BCLK Overclocking, or Base Clock Overclocking which is done back in the times of no unlocked multiplier

[latent wolf]

@graceful topaz I am Not. I remember original Pentium and AMD processors that were single core systems in the 500-800mhz range

[hard ice]

that was not the original pentiums

[latent wolf]

I didnt know cause I never knew the Dual Core Intel CPUs were overclockable. I primarily use AMD CPUs.

[hard ice]

that was pentium 3

[latent wolf]

Well What I remember anyway

[hard ice]

and the k7

[latent wolf]

This is late 80s early 90s I am talking

Im 35 years old

[hard ice]

depending on the specific time, lets take the later one, more likely you can remember that clearly, that was the 486-dx/dx2/dx4 time,

[latent wolf]

Yep

[hard ice]

when people had turbo buttons on their cases that actually did something

[latent wolf]

Yeah I had a AMD computer Like that

[hard ice]

the speed of the dx2 was 66mhz

[latent wolf]

It was like a 350mhz CPU with Turbo enabled

[hard ice]

that was the 586 iirc

that was way later

that is 96/97 or so

[latent wolf]

Somewhere around there

My dad did all the system building back then

Now I have a Ryzen 5 2600X for a Proecessor and I jsut let the XFR do its thing. Same with XMP for the RAM

Now When I had my A10-6700 I had to OC from the BIOS

[left blade]

Tra1aW#8082 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[graceful topaz]

Oof. can't even use my typical typing style here

[latent wolf]

That sucks

[graceful topaz]

I sweartype a lot

[latent wolf]

Ah

[hard ice]

it just means you have to clean up the language young man :)

[latent wolf]

I am liquid cooled on my Ryzen but I dont want to lock my system up like I did when I was trying to push the Base Clock to 3.8-4.2ghz

I have CL15 ddr4 3000mhz Corsair Vengence LPX and I cant get it stable at 3200mhz which is the fastest my Motherboard supports

[graceful topaz]

sry bout that age/PC community join generalization bro @latent wolf It's a part of common knowledge in OC community that BCLK was the norm before Sandy Bridge/Faildozer

[latent wolf]

Yeah That I knew. I just didnt know Core 2 Duos wer OCable

[hard ice]

very actually

look up the e6300

iirc that is

and the q6600

[latent wolf]

I think my one DDR3 Laptop is a Core 2 Duo

[graceful topaz]

BCLK basically fully died after that point, except for Skylake Non-K and some rare X79 Sandy Bridge chips

[hard ice]

oh yes, it was the e6300

[graceful topaz]

The most fun with BCLK OC I've had is with Q6600 and i5 750 so far. 3.7Ghz 1.59V for Q6600 and 4.54Ghz 1.48V for the i5 750

[hard ice]

a 1.86 chip going past 3.0

and that was the norm for them iirc

[latent wolf]

Dam

[hard ice]

aye, the q6600 flew like mad too

[graceful topaz]

Those 6X00 series Core 2 Chips don't care about voltages

[hard ice]

hot pita thou

[latent wolf]

I have a DDR4 Laptop but the CPU is so dam slow i forget what its BCLK is

[graceful topaz]

Current BCLK OC fun venture for me is Celeron G3900 2C2T 2.8Ghz Skylake chip. Currently at 4Ghz under Intel Stock Copper slug cooler. Waiting on a better cooler for that

[hard ice]

the e6300 was compared to the Celeron 300a from back in the day

that was the OC you did on the BTC board right?

[graceful topaz]

Nah that's what I'm doing with Asus Z170-Deluxe i was waiting for last week

[hard ice]

ah, what was the BTC board then?

[graceful topaz]

Got the chip with that

[latent wolf]

AMD E2-9000e 4 compute core 2c+2G It has a Radeon R2 GOU built into the chip. Thats whats in my DDR4 laptop

[hard ice]

ah

[graceful topaz]

Gonna upgrade that secondary G3900 PC with i7 6700 later and Non-K OC that

[latent wolf]

Dam thing is slow as hell

Sadly Locked Down bios since its a HP

I could Probably mess with the RAM timings to get a Little bit of a OC out of that by changing the numbers like i did when i had the A10-6700 on a ASUS F2A55-M motherboard

[hard ice]

well, consdiering the generation/arch that cpu is from. it is a miracle that it is only "slow as hell"

[latent wolf]

Whys that?

the AMD E2-9000e?

[graceful topaz]

Bulldozer based arch at very low clocks and just dual core=Slow af

[hard ice]

it is a design that is scaled for operating in a 6watt tdp enviroment

[latent wolf]

That Would Explain why They put it in a laptop

[graceful topaz]

Even a core 2 duo laptop is faster

[hard ice]

on a very old process, with a weird/wonky architecture

(excavator)

[latent wolf]

Then how the hell did HP manage to match it up to DDR4 RAM

[hard ice]

it is not THAT old

[graceful topaz]

they're using the latest revision of bulldozer/excavator arch that was on AM4

[latent wolf]

Ah ok that makes sense then

[hard ice]

that arch is connected to what is in the current gen consoles

iirc, that is the piledriver or bobcat variants

[latent wolf]

I use my tower more than anything and would love to figure out why I cant get a stable OC with Liquid Cooling on my Ryzen 5 2600X

[hard ice]

you might just have lucked out

but @graceful topaz is probably more informed on that topic than me

i have left OC'ing behind years ago :)

[graceful topaz]

What Voltages set? Load Line Calibration on or off?

[hard ice]

i just have a good memory for details like the stuff i am blabbering about here :)

[graceful topaz]

And most importantly what mobo

[latent wolf]

I typically set 1.5v for a OC just for wiggle room

[graceful topaz]

Too high for Zen+

[latent wolf]

Gigabyte B450 AORUS M

[graceful topaz]

1.42V is on the risky side of CPU degradation when setting manual voltages instead of letting the CPU turbo XFR+PBO on

[latent wolf]

I do have XFr on till I can figure it out

[graceful topaz]

on Zen+. original Zen can handle 1.45-1.46V max, and Zen2 no more than 1.29V or risk of degradation based on CPU lottery for manual Overclock

[latent wolf]

Windows Keeps Messing up my Ryzen Master Utility

[graceful topaz]

Do via bios. Ryzen Master keep awya

away

[latent wolf]

Ah ok

Yeah I usually do OC through BIOS cause its safer than a software OC

[graceful topaz]

It can be useful, but Bios is more reliable

[latent wolf]

That to

Through Ryzen Master I can achieve 3.8ghz Stable

[graceful topaz]

With that mobo i would stick to voltages under 1.37V with your 2600X

[latent wolf]

2600X

current Voltage is at 1.1875

Temp is 33 C

[graceful topaz]

Not all of the CPU VRM is covered by the heatsink, as 1 of the phases is on the same row as SOC VRM

on that motherboard

[latent wolf]

I was thinking about Putting some heatsinks on the VRM on the Board

[graceful topaz]

Does the bios have manual voltage setting in bios, or is it based on offset only

[latent wolf]

Ummm I havent tried since I first got the Board to be honest. I got it new with the CPU and 16gb of my 32 back in Early December

[graceful topaz]

4Ghz should be possible to get from the 2600X at 1.37V, maybe 4.1 depending on lottery luck. Hell 3.9Ghz could be possible if unlucky

[latent wolf]

So I dont remember

Right Thats why I was trying to get it up to 3.9 to 4.0ghz

I have a few games that require 3.7ghz or Higher

Let me jump on Discord on my Phone and Restart this rig and get into the Bios

[graceful topaz]

I don't remember Gigabyte bios from outright memory, so i'll go look for photos so that way i can help with manual settings

[latent wolf]

Ok. Im restarting the syste now

[graceful topaz]

I usually avoid Gigabyte and MSI mobo's

[latent wolf]

It was a xmas gift

I prefer ASUS

[graceful topaz]

You updated the bios yet?

[latent wolf]

Yeah im at F50 the latest one

[graceful topaz]

👌

[latent wolf]

Thats what i have under advanced voltages

[graceful topaz]

So only dynamic voltage

[latent wolf]

That one is advanced freq settings

Yeah

Advanced CPU settings

[graceful topaz]

Stock base voltage for the R5 2600/2600X is 1.25V, so put +0.12xxxxxV voltage offset on that

[latent wolf]

Dvid slot?

[graceful topaz]

yup

+0.1 for SOC(DVID)

[latent wolf]

.120

[graceful topaz]

and Ram voltage at 1.37V

Yes +.120

[latent wolf]

.102 soc

[graceful topaz]

yup

[latent wolf]

Is the closest i can get

[graceful topaz]

Should give you around 1.37V Vcore and 1.2V SOC

[latent wolf]

Ok got the ram set

[graceful topaz]

Just get the closest to those

[latent wolf]

Yeah thats what I did

Save and restart fornit to take effect now

Or should I change the multiplier for the cpu first

[graceful topaz]

First test with Aida64 stress test at 3.9Ghz. If stable for at least 20 min go for 4Ghz, etc. If not stable either lower to 1 step back on core multi and or add voltage at .01V steps until up to 1.4V Vcore

[latent wolf]

So set Clock Ratio to 39.00 for 3.9ghz

[graceful topaz]

yup

[latent wolf]

Leave clock co trol at 100mhz

[graceful topaz]

Check with HWinfo that the voltages are close to what is set on bios, as it seems that your motherboard does not have Load Line Calibration or LLC

Yup Clock Control is BCLK

[latent wolf]

Ok so leave that one alone

[graceful topaz]

And if you have NVMe drives they do not like BCLK changes

[latent wolf]

Nope no MVMe

NVMe^

SSD yes

[graceful topaz]

Now just save settigns and go to Windows

[latent wolf]

Now the fun start shut off restart cycle of like 4 or 5 times before finally starting back up

[graceful topaz]

and XMP was on for the ram, so they're at 3200

[latent wolf]

Oh ok they auto did that even though XMP1 was a 3000mhz setting?

[graceful topaz]

Whatever the ram kit was. I thought that you had 3200

kit

[latent wolf]

3000

[graceful topaz]

So just set the XMP

[latent wolf]

Yeah I already had that set. I just know ryzen likes RAM speed

[graceful topaz]

Do you have HWinfo64 installed

Nice to check that the voltages are correct

[latent wolf]

No I dont. I dont even have Aida64. I uninstalled it last week

[graceful topaz]

before you go to even test. Sometimes the base Voltage to offset is a bit different than what you remember, but i checked and know that 1.25V is base voltage for Zen+ chips

HWinfo64 and stress tests are your friends when OC'ing

[latent wolf]

Ok. Yeah I seen that number in the bios somewhere

[graceful topaz]

Bios can show the base Voltage wrong

on rare occasions

as it can show the adaptive voltage CPU uses to boost normally

[latent wolf]

Ok. I do notice a huge increase in how responsive the sysgem is already

Well cant run Aida64. Darn trial period was up. That would explain why I uninstalled it

[graceful topaz]

OCCT is another stress test. Prime95 is unrealistically heavy so i wouldn't use that

Just make sure to set up OCCT to use all cores

[latent wolf]

Hw info is reporting a base of 3.8ghz boost of 4.25ghz

[graceful topaz]

Does it fluctuate

or stay at 3.9

~3.9

[latent wolf]

Stays at 3.8 status reads 3794

[graceful topaz]

How bout core voltage

[latent wolf]

Thats the Base of 3.8

[graceful topaz]

Should fluctuate around 1.34-1.39V without load line calibration

[latent wolf]

VID is reporting 1.18 and the last 2 digits are fluctuating

[graceful topaz]

I think Ryzen Master might be interfering

Set that to default settings and uninstall

[latent wolf]

Ok. Its not loaded

Ryzen master has to restart the system to take efrect of setting it back to defaults. Is ot also possible XFR is interfering

[graceful topaz]

Do that

[latent wolf]

Turn that off as well

[graceful topaz]

After yup

[latent wolf]

Ok

[graceful topaz]

After that manual OC should hit/be on

[latent wolf]

Adobe creative cloud is gonna hate me

Fun part is gonna be finding the XFR setting in the BIOS

[graceful topaz]

should be under core performance boost

least i think it is

[latent wolf]

Occt is reporting the multiplier at 38

Ok restarting after unistalling ryzen master

XFR is now disabled

Core performance boost on or off since i disabled XFR

[graceful topaz]

off

[latent wolf]

Ok saving. Figured i should shut off cool and quiet as well

I have more than enough fans

HW info isnt showing any of my changes that I made in the BIOS but the BIOS reports them when I have the quick overview turned on

[graceful topaz]

Check Sensors Only

restart sensors only

HWinfo

[latent wolf]

Could be a windows issue. Windows doesnt report all 32gb of ram only 16

But system acts like nm it has 32gb

[graceful topaz]

W10 home?

[latent wolf]

Microsoft said I would have to reisntall Win 10

Yeah

10 Home

[graceful topaz]

Reinstall Windows

[latent wolf]

I have client files that I cant loose also other school related stuff like assignments

[graceful topaz]

You have any other drives to move them into

[latent wolf]

Microsoft said if the system is respkndjng like its there not tk worry about it

Not any with enough olen free space

[graceful topaz]

uninstall games and after os reinstall install the games back

A few games

That's what i do if i have important stuff to keep and i need to reinstall

Ryzen Master might've F'd up the Windows too so the OC and ram won't work or show up

[latent wolf]

Its not showing up. I have noticed a difference in the system though at least

Stress test caused CPU to hit 155 to 160 farenheit max temp

[graceful topaz]

IS normal and okay

[latent wolf]

Max I thinknis like 190 F for a Ryzen 5 2600X if i remember

Rad isnt even that hot

Using mobo hw info. Cpu voltage is going up to 1.35

Thats Vcore

[graceful topaz]

That show's the correct voltage

VID is usually wrong

[latent wolf]

Vcore SOC is 0.924v

Thats what the motherboard software is showing me

[graceful topaz]

Seems like Ryzen Master really F'ed up with windows. If the vcore fluctuates a lot then the OC settings do not stick to windows, and instead use stock settings

I recommend W10 reinstall to get use out of OC

[latent wolf]

Ok using Gigabyte easy tune I was able to get the ox settings to take effect

So Maybe Setting it In the EasyTune which also connects to the BIOS somehow is what I have to do

[graceful topaz]

mby until you reinstall OS. As the bios settings should stick by itseld

[latent wolf]

Right

Maybe wait till the next versikn update and wait and download the iso and do a inplace upgrade which keeps everything i currently have without having tk reinstall. A nice little trick i learned frkm Microsoft techs

[graceful topaz]

upgrade will carry the F-ups of the old OS and the softwares

[latent wolf]

Ooops

Changing RAM freq while os is up caused me to have tk reboot

Stress test has 5 minutes left and no errors

OCCT reads everythingnproperly

Im running 32gb in dual channel so that helps

OCCT is also showing a max temp of 38c on the cpu

Wtf is up with that

[graceful topaz]

Did you make sure that it tests all the threads

[latent wolf]

It was only using 4

[graceful topaz]

No wonder then that the temps were low

[latent wolf]

Gotta reboot since i changed the RAM speed in windows environment

Ok Now its setting the RAM speed in the BIOS.

I appreciate the help

[graceful topaz]

Meanwhile these are the settings i use on the secondary rig 😂 Voltage at 1.3V for core, too lazy to check for the sweetspot

[latent wolf]

I would never have gotten my system tk where its at on my own. I can build it

Holy crap thats a high BCLK

Core temp is reading the cpu at 3.9ghz

[graceful topaz]

I'd look for the sweetspot voltage and higher clocks if i had a better cooler

[latent wolf]

I somehow managed to get my FM2 socket waterblock to seat and stay in placenon a AM4 socket cpu and give good thermals

[graceful topaz]

Well the bracket and CPU height is the exact same for all AM2 and newer platforms

[latent wolf]

Yeah. One screw is at a angle with the lockdown screw for the waterblock.

Just to hold fhe waterblock on. Kept thermal throttling while gaming woth the wraith cooler that came with the cpu

Ok Mobo software is reporting properly in windows at least

Umm this is interesting cpu temp is over 200F

Or the Spftware just isnt reading properly

[tacit solstice]

god bless your soul, and bless the heart of that poor cpu

[graceful topaz]

What softwares temps

[latent wolf]

Softwafe wasnt reporting properly. Mobo software reports 110F

Core Temp was reporting that. I use rainmeter and Core Temp is needed for my temp skin

[graceful topaz]

Core Temp does not like to work on Zen

[latent wolf]

Apparently so.

[graceful topaz]

As it is pretty much Intel only software

[latent wolf]

Why the heck dknt theh tell you that

Aholes

[graceful topaz]

Oof got to start leaving to "work" in 1.5H

[latent wolf]

Dam

[graceful topaz]

Eu lyfe. 6:35AM in finland

[latent wolf]

Ah yeah only 10:35pm in Central USA

So I will stress test it since easy tune is reporting properly along with the temp sensors on the motherboard

So I selected all 6 cores on the kotherboard in OCCT

[graceful topaz]

Select all 12 thread

[latent wolf]

I just seen my core freq hit 5ghz

Ok all 12 selected

[graceful topaz]

Otherwise it won't stress the whole CPU

[latent wolf]

Lets see how this goes

Wtf now my temp isnt going over 150F

Ok now it did

Ok when it is done i will report back to ya

[latent wolf]

Ok its done and it is stable at 4.0ghz

No errors detected by OCCT

@graceful topaz

160F was the highest temp

[graceful topaz]

👌

[latent wolf]

Thats still 30F below thermal throttle if I remember right

120 on the VRM isnt bad is it?

[left blade]

Tra1aW#8082 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[graceful topaz]

Pretty normal for borderline bad board

[latent wolf]

Lmao yet again

[graceful topaz]

i know

Typical words that belong to daily language for everyone is remove LUL

[latent wolf]

Chipset stayed around 100F VSOC MOS about 115F

Just saved that OC profile since I know its stable

[graceful topaz]

I'm a foul mouthed person, especially when speaking my native tongue Finnish

[latent wolf]

I can onky imagine

[graceful topaz]

Usually just use the words to make the point clearer

[latent wolf]

Max CPU freq was 5.3ghz

[graceful topaz]

Well that isn't shown correctly LUL

[latent wolf]

Thats from OCCT

[graceful topaz]

Monitoring softwares can do that

That 5.3Ghz is pretty much the max you can get with LN2 on Zen+ if memory serves right

[latent wolf]

Not bad then

[graceful topaz]

Well it is Liquid Nitrogen

[latent wolf]

True

Im just using

So OCCT is repprting the max temp the cph hit was 71.13 C

Im guessing from what I remember Jayztwocents and Linus saying thats actualky not a bad temp for a Ryzen CPU

So Thank you very much for helping me. Sucks I couldnt get it to go Through BIOS without reinstalling Windows but at least I now have the OC in windows using mobo software

[latent wolf]

@graceful topaz So far Its been very Stable no overheat issues at all. Had one instance where the GPU stopped outputting Video but just had to restart the computer. Other than that 1 time no problems

[sterile ridge]

What cpu @latent wolf

[latent wolf]

Ryzen 5 2600X

[sterile ridge]

Nice

[latent wolf]

Yeah. Got it stable at 4.0ghz

[dull ginkgo]

wait what

@latent wolf I thought you said 5.0 ghz

[latent wolf]

Max According to OCCT is 5.4ghz But that is more than Likely with LN2

Unless Thats the Turbo Freq I dunno.

Highest I seen the Freq go during the stress test was 4.6ghz

[dull ginkgo]

ah that makes more sense

I thought you got a crazy OC off

[latent wolf]

Maybe if I had more than a single 120mm RAD with a Res and a Peltier cooler on the loop

I use the Peltier Before the loop goes to the CPU waterblock

Just to cool down the coolant a little bit

Highest Temp I seen reported was about 160 Farenheit

[dull ginkgo]

you WOT

I'm just chilling on air

4.3ghz 3800x

[sterile ridge]

You have a custom loop @latent wolf?

You should be higher than 4.0 then

[latent wolf]

Yeah I biiltnit from a Deep Cool Kit

@sterile ridge

[sterile ridge]

Hmmmm

[latent wolf]

Yeah I have a second 120mm Rad but where i had it in the case affected overall airflow

No room for a 240mm rad in my case

[neon rapids]

is it just a cpu loop?

[latent wolf]

Yeah Just CPU since I cant Find a Waterblock for my RX-470

[latent wolf]

MSI Radeon RX-470 ARMOR OC 8gb. Cant find a waterblock anywhere.

[latent wolf]

If I could I would Probably be able to Overclock It more than what I can now

[latent wolf]

Im Running a RX-470 and my base clock is like 1230mhz and the Mem Clock is like 6600mhz. I want to try to get it to 1260mhz Base and 7000mhz on the MEM but every time I try It locks up when I use MSi afterburner. Through Radeon Settings I can let it auto clock the GPU to 1300mhz which is better than what I wanted for the base clock

[spiral vigil]

Who got experience with overlooking ram

I got 3000mhz cl16 ram

[sterile flame]

how does one overclock?

[boreal jungle]

I mean, if you call experience like getting a 3000 CL15 to 3800 CL17, yeah I have experience. Lol

how does one overclock?
@sterile flame Overclocking can be done with software or through the BIOS. These days software is a better solution, unless you’re dealing with RAM.

But it’s a very risky thing. You can easily fry something if you don’t know what you’re doing.

[tacit solstice]

can someone help me with overclocking some 3000mhz ram

i ain't fond of overclocking but with a 3700x...

[latent wolf]

Overclocking RAM is fairly simple actually. Its adjusting 3 of the 4 timings and adjusting the Voltage for the RAM to achieve a stable speed that you are looking for. For me It doesnt Pay to Overclock my RAM as my motherboard only supports 3200mhz DDR4 and I already have 3000mhz DDR4.

[boreal jungle]

On many boards, you could just increase the memory frequency and let it control the timings for you. The automatic timings aren't the best, but it's pretty nice if you're a beginner.

[latent wolf]

Yeah I dont think I can do that On my Board. I have XMP profiles

[latent wolf]

then again i really havent tried

[latent wolf]

Im fairly certain if I found out the timings for 3200mhz DDR4 for Corsair Vengence LPX I could get my RAM to run at 3200mhz the max my motherboard supports

3600mhz in OC is the Max Freq Just checked

[proven canopy]

What mobo? It's rare that you'll be limited primarily by the board's hard limit on frequency.
e.g. - limit of 4133 on z270 unless you bios flash

[latent wolf]

Gigabyte B450 AORUS-M

I have Corsair Vengence LPX CL15

3000mhz DDR4

I did some searching at 1.37v with timings at 16-18-18-36 I can achieve 3200mhz. I read CL17 wasnt stable so I figure with 1.4v at timings at 18-20-20-38 I should be able to achieve 3600mhz Stable

Thats If my math is correct anyway

@proven canopy ^^^

[manic helm]

most 2600 cpu's wont go much over 3200. 3400 if you are lucky. the memory controller just isnt strong enough without getting into the voltage ranges where you are going to degrade your cpu rather quickly. thats no to say you can't try it at 3600, but neither my 2600 or my 2700x will do 3600.

my 2600 isnt stable at all with realistic voltage over 3200. My 2700x will do 3400 but its not stable beyond that.

[latent wolf]

So My Best bet is the 3200mhz.

[manic helm]

I have seen some people with 2600x that can do 3400

[latent wolf]

Cause my R5 2600X is stable at 4.0ghz on all 6 cores and I have no issues

Not even thermal issues since its liquid cooled. I can probably bump it up to 4.1 or 4.2ghz

[manic helm]

thats pretty standard cpu speed. Its the memory controller on 1000 and 2000 cpus thats just too weak to go beyond that

[latent wolf]

ah ok

Makes Sense

[manic helm]

but again, you could get a good chip and get lucky

[proven canopy]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cdjpnk/ryzen_3xxx_series_ram_overclocking_community_sheet/

[manic helm]

feel free to try

[latent wolf]

@proven canopy I have a 2600X dont know if RAM timings for 3000 series will work

[proven canopy]

Check the other pages of the spreadsheet

[manic helm]

if it wont boot you will either have to clear the cmos, or you can pull both sticks of ram out and move one of the sticks over 1 slot to a different channel and it should boot

change the settings and then move the ram back to the correct slots

but if you save a profile that you know works, the easiest way is to just clear cmos and reload your profile

save a profile in the bios that is

also unless you disable gear down mode odd CL timings will always be rounded up to the next even number

so if you set it to 17 its actually going to be 18

[latent wolf]

Ok. I dont know what Kind of Die my Ram has to be honest

@proven canopy

I have 2 16gb kits of the same Numbers

CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Thats the Part Number I have

Manufacturer
Micron Technology

So I dont know what Manufacturer that Would be for the chips themselves

@proven canopy

Well NM I found it on the Zen2 list at 3600mhz with the Same CPU I have

Zen+ list sorry

Thank You That List is very Helpful

[mortal yarrow]

Ok so im tryna overclock my GTX 980

what is a good stress test while i slighty bump up the performance

[latent wolf]

Unigens Heaven is a good one that I have found for mine. Its also one the Jayztwocents uses alot

[jade pulsar]

Something like unigine valley or superposition is also good

[mortal yarrow]

so unigine vally or heaven?

[latent wolf]

yeah

[mortal yarrow]

valley*

sweet

[jade pulsar]

Yeah valley is a good middle ground

[mortal yarrow]

so when i launch the benchmark should i just leave the settings?

[jade pulsar]

Yeah you should run while benchmark to check if it is stable, but it makes more sense to do that at clock speeds that get a bit higher

Like lower overclock don’t make too much sense to run the whole thing

[mortal yarrow]

oh aight

[dull ginkgo]

I've never tried valley, I always use heaven :P

I use heaven to test my mem OC tho

I just use like 3dmarks time spy for core clock oc

[neon rapids]

i do heaven, time spy, and a bunch of games

like my oc worked perfectly fine on time spy/heaven, but would crash on apex and forza because the memory was too high

[proven canopy]

Apex was incredibly sensitive to cpu OC - especially without any AVX2 offset. Intel tweeted about some fix about a year ago, unsure if issue persists

[neon rapids]

🤔 ive got a 2600x

[jade pulsar]

Yay than that means my cpu oc is stable

[dull ginkgo]

interesting

[dull ginkgo]

@jade pulsar you prob want to run like cinebench r20 or smth to make sure if you only use apex as an indicator

[jade pulsar]

Oh yeah of course I always use cinebench first

[daring mural]

can someone help me with oveclocking

ryzen master says im getting 3.75 ghz, im getting good temps, yet it says im getting 3.6 ghz

someone mind telling me whats wrong?

[dull ginkgo]

it's possible that it boosts to 3.75 under load

[latent wolf]

What CPU @daring mural

[daring mural]

1600 AF

[naive shard]

thats cool af

[latent wolf]

So The 1600 isnt a Unlocked CPU if I remember correctly. It has to be X series to overclock. I could be wrong. Ryzen Master screwed up Windows reading things properly on my system

[naive shard]

it is

all ryzens are

[daring mural]

All ryzens are overclockable, X series processors tend to take the oc better, but I'm not sure

[latent wolf]

Let me Pull Up the List that a Techie from Newegg shared with me

I can get you some numbers to plug into the BIOS. Its a better overclock that way compared to using Ryzen master

So You are Running a Zen+ architecture. The same as me since Im aon a R5 2600X

[daring mural]

Yep

12 nm

[latent wolf]

Darn The List Doesnt Have the 1600 on it It Goes back to the R5 2600

Let me google search real quick

[daring mural]

Need my Mobo?

[latent wolf]

I dont think so

Just the CPU cause its the Voltages that have to be adjusted

@daring mural So According to GamersNexus at 1.4v you can achieve 4.2ghz

[daring mural]

I don't have the cooler for that lol

[latent wolf]

The One he had hit 3.9ghz which is basically what my 2600X is running at even though I have the Multiplier set at 40

What Cooler are you using

[daring mural]

Stock cooler

[latent wolf]

Wraith Spire?

[daring mural]

Nah

Small one

[latent wolf]

The Small Black One that Came with the CPU right

[daring mural]

Mhm

[latent wolf]

OK So the original Wraith then If I am remembering correctly

[daring mural]

Ye

Ifk

Idk

[latent wolf]

Let me check

[daring mural]

Got it with my 2200g

[latent wolf]

the R3 200g

2200g

[daring mural]

Ye

[latent wolf]

ok

[daring mural]

I'm getting good temps tho

[latent wolf]

Yeah Thats a Big Plus. I have a custom Liquid cooling setup

Ok Thats a Wraith Stealth

So All the Wraith Coolers use the same fan size. Just different sized heatsinks. So Overclocking it to 3.9ghz Shouldnt be a issue

[daring mural]

CPU ratio in bios is 3750 MHz if that helps

The problem is it's not getting to 3.75 ghz

Despite being set to it

[latent wolf]

ok. If you set the CPU Voltage to 1.375 and then set the Multiplier to 39 that should get you stable at 3.9ghz on all 6 cores

That would be a voltage issue then if its not getting to that speed

Set the CPU voltage first to see if thats the speed you get that you already ahve set

[daring mural]

Booting now, set the voltage in my bios

[latent wolf]

Then from there stress test and watch the thermalls before increasing the multiplier on the CPU

Yeah

[daring mural]

Also I don't know what you mean by increasing the multiplier

I'm going into ryzen master

[latent wolf]

I have a Gigabyte B450 AORUS M motherboard

[daring mural]

And just putting in the mhz

[latent wolf]

What Mobo do you have

[daring mural]

MSI b450 bazooka V2

[latent wolf]

Ok So you have the same Chipset I have then

Is your BIOS Up to date?

[daring mural]

Bios I got out of the box

[latent wolf]

Ok There may be a update for it

Im not seeing one on MSI website

[latent wolf]

Yeah Thats looking like a voltage issue to me. Do you know what BIOS version you are running

Cause the Most Recent BIOS is December 6th 2019

[daring mural]

I do not know

[latent wolf]

Open MSi Command Center

[daring mural]

Dragon Center?

[latent wolf]

Yeah

Sorry Forgot they called it that

[daring mural]

I'm in

Np

[latent wolf]

Ok There should be one that shows you System Information

[daring mural]

Ok

There

[latent wolf]

It should tell you what BIOS version you are running

[daring mural]

Motherboard bios is MS-7A38

[latent wolf]

What are the 2 letters after it

Or letter and Number

[daring mural]

There are none

Oh

P.60

[latent wolf]

Oh Crap. You need to Update your Bios

https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450M-BAZOOKA#down-bios

[daring mural]

My bios looks really old

[latent wolf]

That Link will take you to the BIOS Page for your Motherbaord

Yeah You need to update. thats the original that the Motherboard Ships with. There have been alot of revisions to the BIOS since then

[daring mural]

Doenloaded

Downloaded*

[latent wolf]

7A38vHD is the one you downlaoded right

[daring mural]

I need to restart right? Go into my bios and select the folder?

Yessir

[latent wolf]

There is a Utitlity called M Flash. Its best to put the Bios onto a flash drive and update it off of there

[daring mural]

Oh

Okay

Can the flashdrive have windows on it?

[latent wolf]

Sometimes you can Update it from Within Windows as well

No It has to be a properly formated drive

[daring mural]

Ok, how do I clear the drive?

[latent wolf]

typically FAT-32 file format

[daring mural]

It had windows installer*

[latent wolf]

Right click on the drive and select Format for the Flash Drive

You can do it from File Explorer

[daring mural]

Format complete, do I put the file on my drive?

[latent wolf]

Did you format it to FAT-32?

[daring mural]

Yeah

[latent wolf]

Ok

Making sure

Extract the Zip folder onto that drive

[daring mural]

Like move it there

When I go to the files

It just opens up a text document

[latent wolf]

Yeah You can do that to. I downloaded the Manual For your Motherboard so I can help you better

[daring mural]

And a .HD0 file

Ok ty

Alright

[latent wolf]

the .HD0 is the Bios ROM file

[daring mural]

The file is on my USB

[latent wolf]

I beleive

[daring mural]

Do I restart now?

[latent wolf]

Hold On Im paging through the manual to get to the BIOS flash Section

Do You Have Live Update 6 on your PC

[daring mural]

No

[latent wolf]

Ok

Updating BIOS:

1. Press Del key to enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Insert the USB flash drive that contains the update file into the computer.
3. Select the M-FLASH tab and click on Yes to reboot the system and enter the flash
   mode.
4. Select a BIOS file to perform the BIOS update process.
5. After the flashing process is 100% completed, the system will reboot
   automatically.

[daring mural]

BIOS file doesn't exist

[latent wolf]

huh

let me downlaod the File and see whats up

Ok I see the Text file and the HD0 file like you were talking

Hmm Interesting

Im guessing the best bet is to donload the Live Update 6 from MSI and have that Update it for you

Thats odd that it says the BIOS file doesnt exist

https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450M-BAZOOKA#down-driver&Win10 64

On that page is the Live Update 6 software for your motherboard

[daring mural]

This thing is weird

Can't find the file

[latent wolf]

Yeah That is weird

Go with the Live Update 6 route then

[daring mural]

I mean the live update 6 file

Like the application

[latent wolf]

Wait what? You have antivirus software? Or Windows Defender May need to be turned off temporarily

How is that possible when its on the website and you can download it fromt here

[daring mural]

I figured it out, weird process tho, signed it, what do I do now?

[latent wolf]

From Live Update 6 let me get those instructions

Updating the BIOS with Live Update 6
Before updating:
Make sure the LAN driver is already installed and the internet connection is set
properly.
Updating BIOS:

1. Install and launch MSI LIVE UPDATE 6.
2. Select BIOS Update.
3. Click on Scan button.
4. Click on Download icon to download and install the latest BIOS file.
5. Click Next and choose In Windows mode. And then click Next and Start to start
   updating BIOS.
6. After the flashing process is 100% completed, the system will restart automatically

[latent wolf]

Did you go to BIOS?

[daring mural]

I don't know where that is

[latent wolf]

Have to go to BIOS Update

I cant run the software on my system cause I have Gigabyte App center

[daring mural]

Nevermind

[latent wolf]

You Found it

[daring mural]

Yes

[latent wolf]

Awesome

[daring mural]

Downloaded

[latent wolf]

nice

It should Install the BIOS now

As long as you follow the Instructions I posted above

[daring mural]

New bios is P.A0

[latent wolf]

OK Your at least updated there

Now to the OC

So When In The BIOS you want to get out of EZ mode by hitting F7 according to the manual

To Be honest You should be good with just trurning Game boost on but if you are looking for more OC then you leave it off and manually do it

[daring mural]

Ok

[latent wolf]

In Advanced Mode You would click on the OC setting box if your gonna go further than Game Boost

You would stay in Normal Mode for the OC settings box

[daring mural]

Ok

Ty

[latent wolf]

NP. NOw All you have to really do is change the CPU Ratio to the speed that you want to determine the CPU clock speed

You can only change it if the R5 1600 AF supports it. If it doesnt allow you to change it the Game Boost is your only option for more clock speed

In The BIOS that is

I would still change the CPU voltage if it allows you to change the Multiplier to 1.375

Just so there is some head room when the CPU boosts to its max Freqeuncy

@daring mural What Route did you go ? Just Wondering

[daring mural]

Went for game mode

Will probably mess with it tomorrow

But it's late

[latent wolf]

Ok.

Hopefully game Mode gives ya some performance increase. I noticed a big one when I went from 16gb to 32gb of RAM at 3000mhz and then Upped the CPU from 3.6 to 4.0ghz

uh oh

Really a Fortnite Video in a overclocking channel

[storm veldt]

Is it worth it to overclock a AMD Radeon rx 5700 XT wich has a costum cooler???

[latent wolf]

Not really. Jayztwocents did it and he had issues

[dapper hound]

5700XT is already hot enough, do you really want to make it hotter

[naive shard]

Lul

@dapper hound I overclocked my pc and it peaks at 780w

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/106790551809953792/678719983345205278/20200216_152520.png

[sterile ridge]

@naive shard thats not how much the pc is using, thtas how much it takes from the outlet

[naive shard]

Its an 80+

[sterile ridge]

And?

not many 80+ that have over 750 that are reliable

[storm veldt]

I overclocked my rx 5700 XT from powercolor to 2000mhz and the current temp was around 60 degrees and junction temp was around 80-90 degrees hot

[naive shard]

Gold

[sterile ridge]

@storm veldt the red devil?

And, what drivers are you using and any issues with them?

[storm veldt]

@storm veldt the red devil?
@sterile ridge yes the red devil and i use the AMD Adrenalin 2020 drivers with no major issues except of enhanced sync. It crashes my pc when I want to play a video game

[sterile ridge]

Ok, so im hearing just turn off enhanced sync? @storm veldt

Other people have said the same

[storm veldt]

so I did. Since that moment all games are running perfectly

[sterile ridge]

Sweet, thanks

Whats the rest of ur build look like

[storm veldt]

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, 2x8GB 3000mhz DDR4, MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC, 500 W be quiet! pure power 11 (80+ Gold), an Intel 512 GB m.2 Nvme SSD (PCie 3.0)

[sterile ridge]

Nice

[dull ginkgo]

Ey we have the same board

[storm veldt]

What is your experience with that Board??

[dull ginkgo]

I'm using it rn with a 3800x in it

No concerns, just that I got it without WiFi antenna shipped with it for some reason

So I had to get like 10$ antennas

@storm veldt how do you like the rgb on it?

[somber zodiac]

Any tips on overclocking a nitro+ 5700xt. I feel like I should be getting way higher than this.

[naive shard]

decrease the settings

[somber zodiac]

I've seen multiple examples of people with a 5700 and even a Ryzen 5 score way higher than this on these settings

[naive shard]

Nobody:
Ppl running unigine superposition on their Ryzen 5:

[thorn moth]

shame

[somber zodiac]

idk I just feel like 5186 is low when I see less beefy rigs scoring considerably higher

[naive shard]

holy crap, u rite, @thorn moth's bench beat yours at 4k and its a single fury since unigine superposition cant do crossfire

Return maybe? Do a bit of research first tho

[somber zodiac]

I mean it runs games as advertised, but I was not expecting such a bench

[naive shard]

hm

have you tried reverse overclocking it?

[cold jolt]

underclocking*

[somber zodiac]

nah not really

[naive shard]

[somber zodiac]

I can't really find any good guides on it, and AMD changes their settings layout with every driver update it seems so all the youtube videos are for outdated versions of radeon settings/wattman

[naive shard]

@somber zodiac

https://benchmark.unigine.com/leaderboards/superposition/1.x/1080p-extreme/single-gpu/page-1

theres a lot of variance and you're not that high, but you're also not that low

your gpu is fine

How hard was it to google my dude?

[fallow bison]

googlefu is a forbidden technique. only the masters are allowed to use

[somber zodiac]

Yeah I mean you're not wrong

I guess I already knew that but I was just wondering why it was benching so low

it doesn't matter though in the end since like I said it performs as advertised

[fallow sentinel]

I wouldn't expect 2080 super/2080 ti benches from a 5700XT. It rates better than a 1080 and your score shows it. It's higher than my score by over 1000 points and I'm running a 1080.

[slow skiff]

I want to overclock my i9-9900k with a Asus Prime Z390-P Mobo to 5.0Ghz. I have heard that the VRM's on the mobo are not the best for overclocking a high end cpu. Can I successfully overclock using my current motherboard?

[latent wolf]

If you use VRM Heatsinks it might be possible but your probably safer going to 4.5ghz than 5.0ghz

[storm veldt]

@storm veldt how do you like the rgb on it?
@dull ginkgo I like it for its price

[dull ginkgo]

Yea it's nice

[slow skiff]

@latent wolf my cpu clocks 4.7 right now but I don’t know how to check the vrm temp but all I know is that it is a stable overclock

[latent wolf]

Its hard to check vrm temps without one of those laser thermomoters

[slow skiff]

Damn ok im just gonna risk it and see if my pc explodes

[manic helm]

In most situations your motherboard will throttle if your vrm temps get too high. It was a big issue with a lot of z370 boards when the 9900k launched.

[sterile ridge]

I am going to try to overclock my GPU tomorrow,(12:40 AM currently so I guess later today) and wanna know the best synthetic GPU benchmark to use while also using MSI afterburner, radeon software, etc.

[neon rapids]

i use a combination of games i play often (apex is pretty decent for memory, crashed several times when stable on everything else), heaven 4.0 on loop, and timespy/firestrike

[sterile ridge]

@neon rapids thanks

[short blade]

@hard ice so this is what i have right now

should i just change it to +50 or

[hard ice]

i have no idea and i dont comment on actual decisions in regards to OC

[short blade]

hmm alright

[hard ice]

it is your hardware, you have to be willing to gamble with the hardware. because i am not willing to the risk on your behalf :)

[latent wolf]

So I would set it back to default to start with to negate the undervolt

[hard ice]

listen to Viper, he knows what he is talking about

[short blade]

i did fully limit test it as well and it was working fine at up to +90 but i decided to undervolt it for better thermals after that

[latent wolf]

Somewhat. I can only speak from personal experience with Overclocking stuff and knowing Electrical theory

Ok So If it was having issues with plus 90 you back it down by 10 at a time till it becomes stable and you have good thermals

[short blade]

was stable at 90

unstable at 100

[latent wolf]

Ok So I would try plus 60 then just to have a little wiggle room with voltages incase theres a sudden power draw spike from say streaming and what not. This way it doesnt cause throttling and stability issues

[upbeat delta]

What should I overclock if I want to stream / game at the same time but get more FPS in game

Part list⬇️

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/WillCoates99/saved/

[neon rapids]

cpu/gpu and if u want ram

[upbeat delta]

K

U know any good software

[neon rapids]

the bios for ram, bios/ryzen master for cpu, and msi afterburner for gpu

[dusty violet]

Fast ram better

[upbeat delta]

When I over lock mr you with msi afterburner it makes Fortnite look weird

Is there other oc software that doesn’t screw up the looks of a game

[boreal jungle]

Doesn’t Gigabyte have their own GPU software?

[dull ginkgo]

MSI afterburner is just good for everything

[sterile ridge]

Anyone know why rtss isnt working? I click it and it says "allow to make changes", i say yes, nothing happens

[dull ginkgo]

rtss?

[sterile ridge]

Rivatuner?

It shows gpu temp, CPU temp, fps etc.

[jade pulsar]

If you have it turned on in afterburner settings it should turn on automatically when you open afterburner, although you may need to restart the app you are trying to get overlay on

[latent wolf]

@boreal jungle Yes Gigabyte has their own. It comes with the App Center for Gigabyte Motherboards

Its called VTuner

[boreal jungle]

@upbeat delta ☝️ Yeah -- I'd try VTuner then, since you have a Gigabyte card and have issues with MSi Afterburner.

[upbeat delta]

Ok

Thanks

[latent wolf]

VTuner is if you have a Gigabyte Motherboard though

[upbeat delta]

I have an msi mobo

And a gigabyte gpu

[boreal jungle]

Ahh, shoot.

[latent wolf]

You Might be able to download VTuner seperatly

[upbeat delta]

Ok

[latent wolf]

Let me check. I have a Gigabyte Mobo

Does Yout Card Have RGB Lighting?

Cause the only Software I can find for the Card itself is the AORUS Engine dont know if you have that or not. It Can OC the Card as well If I remember correctly

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1660GAMING-OC-6GD/support#support-dl-utility

[upbeat delta]

I used rgb fusion for rgb control

Yah that’s card

[latent wolf]

Ok There is Also the Gigabyte Extreme Gaming Engine

[upbeat delta]

Ok

For oc?

[latent wolf]

Yes

[upbeat delta]

K

I’ll try it

Thanks

[latent wolf]

@upbeat delta https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/Utility/Graphics-Card

Second One Down On that Page has the Extreme Gaming Engine

[upbeat delta]

K

Thanks

😂

[latent wolf]

Your Welcome.

Probably be a More Stable OC as well since its a Gigabyte Software and a Gigabyte Card

[upbeat delta]

K

[latent wolf]

I have a MSI Radeon RX-470 ARMOR 8gb OC

And a Gigabyte Board.

[upbeat delta]

Noice

[latent wolf]

Basically the reverse of what you have But It Should All work the same though when tryin gto tune the GPU performance

[faint quest]

so if I wanted to overclock my r7 2700 (base clock 3.2ghz) to 4.0ghz how serious of cooling would I need?

[latent wolf]

you could get away with a 120mm Rad with watercooling

[uneven ermine]

id recommend a 240mm AIO

h100i rgb platinum >:D

[latent wolf]

I run my R5 2600X at 4.0ghz with a base of 3.6ghz on a 120mm RAD with a RES and I have very good thermals

Ah. Yeah mines a 6 core 12 thread

[dull ginkgo]

I got 4.2 ghz off my 2700 with a nh-d15

[wild halo]

hey could somebody help me out real quick?

[jade pulsar]

you can just say what you need help with and if someone can help they will come

[dull ginkgo]

Ima just repost
https://dontasktoask.com/

[jade pulsar]

lol

[wild halo]

what’s a safe level to overclock my 1050 ti and get maximum performance with no risk of damage

[sterile ridge]

MAX

And then see what happens

[wild halo]

I will pass

[sterile ridge]

Run a benchmark, such as unigine heaven

And slowly increase the speeds until there is some sort of visual issues

(Using msi afterburner)

Once there seems to be visual issues, go down a bit and then run it again

[jade pulsar]

just start at like a +80 or +100 clock speed and slowly crank it up by intervals of 10 or 20 while running a stress test to see how far it will go

[sterile ridge]

^

[jade pulsar]

when ocing a cpu does anyone know why the clock may fluctuate or stay constant. I am asking because now my clock is fluctuating but I didn't change any of my settings

[jolly blaze]

Maybe your power plan changed?

[jade pulsar]

oh right, forgot to check that

yup that did it, thank you

[fringe crystal]

what are some peoples opinions on the msi afterburner oc scanner

[boreal jungle]

I’m not a fan of it. Tried getting a 2100 MHz overclock on my ASUS ROG STRIX 1060 6GB — couldn’t handle it. But if I used ASUS GPU Tweak II — handled 2100 MHz fine. Depends on the card, I guess.

The OC scanner, I think, is better on GPU Tweak II.

[neon rapids]

said mine wasn’t stable, gave a much lower oc than manual, and with a little tweaking mines rock solid now

[slow skiff]

Gta V crashed after i overclocked but when i ran the Unigine Heaven Benchmark it was stable

Is that an overclock problem or should I reinstal gta v

[latent wolf]

I would check the GTA-V graphic settings if you can

[slow skiff]

which settings specifically

[latent wolf]

May Have to reduce a few of them to get it stable. I play GTA-V on FiveM. I would first start with the quality settings

Depending on where you have them set. If on Ultra turn them down to high and try it at that setting if it still crashes go to medium

[slow skiff]

I will note that before the crash my power% draw spiked at 120 when i have it set to 112%

[latent wolf]

That would cause the GPU to crash. Lack of Power sufficient enough to handle the load

[slow skiff]

my overclock is +235Mhz

would i need to increase the core voltage

i have always kept it at 0% just because I heard it shortens the cards lifespan

[latent wolf]

Yeah Core Voltage should go up. What is the base voltage set at now

[slow skiff]

705mV

and it usually tops at around 1.050

[latent wolf]

I would set it at 1.250 for a buffer zone

For the Max Draw that is

[slow skiff]

i don't know how to set it manually on afterburner

it just has an increase in percentage for core voltage

[latent wolf]

Im not any good with afterburner either

I have a radeon card so I use Radeon Settings to do all that

[slow skiff]

oh

ill look into it then

[latent wolf]

What Card do you have

[slow skiff]

2080 ti

[latent wolf]

Why are you trying to OC a 2080 ti?

That thing Rips as it is by itself. I would gladly replace my Radeon RX-470 with one of those

And thats just because I do graphic design

[slow skiff]

Minecraft with shaders is why i need to OC

also i use blender alot

so it helps with render times

[orchid flame]

what Model would this be?

[latent wolf]

What you mean?

[orchid flame]

model of 2080ti

[latent wolf]

by model that is

[orchid flame]

which model 2080ti

[latent wolf]

Oh I wouldnt care what model it is. I have a MSi Radeon RX-470 ARMOR 8gb OC right now

[orchid flame]

not you

[slow skiff]

I'm going to be honest with you I don't know

[orchid flame]

the2080ti

[slow skiff]

i have searched everywhere for it

and it just doesn't come up

[orchid flame]

the model matters

A LOT

[slow skiff]

its MSI

i can tell you that

[orchid flame]

for overclocking and performance as a whole

[latent wolf]

That is true manufacturer makes a big difference

[orchid flame]

@slow skiff is it white?

[slow skiff]

no

here i

send picture

[slow skiff]

its a blower style fan

[orchid flame]

wait

208ti blower?

[slow skiff]

yes

[latent wolf]

That Doesnt Sound Right

[orchid flame]

this?

please tell me its not thjis

please

[latent wolf]

Uh Oh\

[slow skiff]

No its not that

[latent wolf]

That Aero one is a pile of Crap and Cant be OCed from what I heard

[slow skiff]

Oh my god it is

[orchid flame]

...

Im done

power limit is what

5%?

lol

[slow skiff]

112%

[orchid flame]

112 lol ok

[slow skiff]

i just tested with a confidence level of 80%

[orchid flame]

dude

just set it to max

[slow skiff]

no

[orchid flame]

there is NO overclock easier than GPU

[latent wolf]

True

[orchid flame]

this is pascal

[slow skiff]

thats msi test result

80%

[orchid flame]

voltage control is basically non-existent

just set everything to max and done

[latent wolf]

Manufacturer Test Results are the Safetys that they use.

[orchid flame]

*this isnt pascal

pascal would be different

[latent wolf]

Set it for Max and Back it down if it crashes till its stable

[orchid flame]

but a 208ti is on turing

@latent wolf it'll be stable

this is Turing

not pascal

[latent wolf]

Yeah

[orchid flame]

you can just set it to the max

with 0 worries

as it will auto throttle down
