#overclocking
1 messages · Page 61 of 1
u know what time it is
Depends on your ram speed
3600 cl 16
oh i was gonna say ping a techie
Auto then
What’s the rationale there?
Well
5000 series FCLK good to 1900-2000 mhz
SO if your ram was say, 4200
Auto wouldn't work
because FCLK 2100
So, anything below 4000 mhz ram, just auto
that’s helpful, thank you again
YW
I can't reach 1900Mhz :(
time to buy another chip then
Give Lisa Su her tax and she will bless you with a chip that can do 2000 FCLK
Uh?
update agesa
should be able to hit at least 1900mhz on the latest one
1-14-2021 is my latest
@quick rose what frequency is auto fclk good to on zen3? On zen2 it would max out 1:1 at 1800
ive heard zen3 can get 1900
is it possible to overclock the human brain? asking for a friend
Cocaine
Adderall
nobody in my vacinity carries coke
It's too bad there's no software out there to do it with
all I have are cheap Chinese parts
unrelated question, but is it also possible to replace my veins with rgb lights
What about undervolting? I need that
what I do for a temporary boost is cause an adrenaline rush
but the heart attacks kinda take away from it
Ok
2000 if the chip will do it
Didn't some asus boards have a clock hole at 1900?
I've heard of 1900 failing to train but 1933 working stable
Did a quick port royal test run with 90 strix and a modest overclock
seems pretty solid
using strix air cooler, maxed at 74C
with +115 clock in msi afterburner, and maxed power limit
So with PBO2, I should combine both undervolting and increasing the precision boost speed simultaneously?
say, like a -5-10 under volt and a +100 mhz?
The only answer is... it depends. Mostly binning of your specific chips determine how much you can overclock and undervolt.
(for 5950x on a dark hero)
Best way to OC is to increment slowly and test
Trial and error. Do one change at a time, a little at a time, until it crashes. I'd start with increasing PBO until it loses stability, then lowering voltage.
Forgive the simplicity of this question, but how would I know if an overclock or an under volt failed? And what is the recourse in case that happens (without hitting cmos I guess)
You run a stress test after every change, like prime95, and if it crashes, freezes, or a thread dies, then it's not stable.
If you can get to BIOS, turn it back down
If you can't get to BIOS because it won't POST, CMOS reset
is prime05 preferred? I’ve been using r23
Prime yes
so you guys recommend not undervolting initially
and just raising the precision boost clock?
I mean, PBO should do all that for you
ALl you're doing with PBO is changing the limites
it has a field where I can enter a boost frequency
NOt the clock itself
Right but it will still boost according to power and thermal limits
if it’s in auto yea?
You're just telling the processor "Hey, if you can, you can go this fast now", not a forced clock
Yeah PBO2 is a little different from traditional manual overclock
in other words, I leave pbo on with the boost frequency in auto (which has been fine thus far)
So now my next step is to undervolt then?
Why undervolt?
If you don't feel you need to bump the speed as high as it will go, you can just leave it on auto. Undervolting would be a good step after that to reduce temps and power use.
because The curve optimizer is achieving higher frequencies with thermal stability
I mean, the more power you give it the faster it goes
according to the reviews I’ve watched
my 3700x will pull 126 watts at 4.3 all core
my 3800x can peak 180 watts at 4.2 all core, around 140 watts average
with pbo2, you undervolt for better all core performance, fmax offset for single core
When you're using the boosting, keeping lower temps is better
I just see that there’s PBO on one hand, and this curve optimizer on the other hand
Holy crap
might've been 130w average, don't remember specifics, it was 4.2 all core 1.3v
Damn
yes yes I know about voltage, it's not my daily
I've done 220-240w on my 3900xt, that sounds right for an 8 core
Additionally, I’m using ripjaws 3600 cl 16 2x 16 - i can juice this thing with 1.4 volts and tighten it without issue yea?
130-140w average, 180w spike
Depends on the die you got
Maybe or maybe not. Grab Thaiphoon and see what the chips are
I think the usual lower end dies, like cjr djr and such don't like going over 1.35/1.36
Ye
but B die goes brrrt and 1.5v daily
It was barely over xmp iirc, might've misremembered
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/561323111308328972/744764563056230540/Screenshot_134.png jedec ram because otherwise it would be 250+ and uncoolable
Aren’t all ram kits greater than 3200 considered b-die?
no
Nope
No
most arent
B die is very rare, relative to all the ram
Ye

Man, I’m such a goddamn noob at overclocking lol
yea
Thank you for the help, it’s appreciated
@tall pelican I thought there was a 3200c15 b die xmp? or did I misremember and it was 3600c15
there might be, its not worth getting and wont act like bdie
gotcha
there's oem bdie that stops scaling at 1.3v and ~3000mhz
3600c17 looks like bad xmp to get too xD
I'm not good nuff to have a sense of rcd ns, so I'm still just using cas ns to orient myself around that
Well, I have the ripjaws that are 3600 16 19 19 19 39
cjr/djr 99%
rcd isnt really important with good kits
hm
then you also get amd cpus that can only do cl+1 for rcd
hmm
So essentially, I’m comparing the advertised speed and extended latencies to that chart
and if it doesn’t match, it ain’t b-die
which then means what in terms of the voltage/OC I can apply?
(or bdie not worth buying)
the bdie in that sheet should all scale with voltage to 1.6v+
So this thaiphoon burner is a software that does what?
it basically provides a die density?
barely even that
it reads the spd that the manufacturer programs
and if it wasnt programmed, it guesses
the guess for hynix 8gbit is afr, samsung 8gbit is bdie, and I want to say micron 16gbit is revb
Yea Hynix m die
goddamnit lol
Got em pretty cheap, 140 bucks for 32 gigs of those ripjaws v
But they’re currently running at advertised speeds
That sucks. mine are C die
what’s the hierarchy?
U can check cashe stability with fortnite https://youtu.be/iygfNlc70yw
Overclocking your ring ratio can be an extremely frustrating and tricky process, this is what i've been doing for a couple years now to save myself time, I call it, the "frame chasers special"if you guys want more of these tips and tricks to help you in your frame chasing journey, join the community below
Join the community over on facebook g...
so is it better to curve optimize per core, theoretically?
and would I go more aggressive on the better cores? Or the opposite? Lighten up on the better cores and push the other ones?
The better cores (as identified by Ryzen Master) are the ones that were proven during QC to be able to boost the highest, so those are the ones you want to boost more
Unless you really feel the need to go that deep into overclocking, it won't have much difference. It's mostly the extreme overclockers and benchmarkers that worry about 100 MHz here and there.
Ok so I am thoroughly friggin confused lol
my results are not meeting the expectation here
The more complex things get, the more likely something will go wrong
so, I had pbo enabled in both locations, dynamic OC enabled, I had curve optimizer enabled, pbo limits disabled, curve is negative with 5 undervolt to all cores
cinebench r23 multicore test - all cores ram 3.4ghz. Now, I went back to bios default settings (with just xmp enabled) - same test runs all cores at 3.75ghz
Keep in mind that when you change the PBO settings, you're only telling it "you're allowed to try to get here" but that doesn't mean that it will. If you pushed the boosts too high, it might just stop boosting. Temperature plays a huge role in this too.
With occasional spikes here and there, the former settings kept it rock solid at 3.4
my temps haven’t been higher than 63C
Well, 66
Also, you might need to allow more voltage instead of undervolting, not every chip responds well to that.
If you're doing an all core load, more voltage is going to be needed
But why are my clocks higher in default settings
than with all that other stuff enabled
Which of those modifications result in a reduction in voltage then?
But isn’t the undervolt supposed to bring the processor back to current voltage, but just match to a higher frequency corresponding to the amount you undervolted by?
Since it’s thermally fine
I did mention earlier there would be a lot of trial and error. Not every chip will react the same to the same modifications, and every chip has its default voltage set slightly different as well. For all we know, yours is already factory undervolted.
All you can really do is try things until you get the response you want.
In theory, you are correct. It's supposed to change the mapped frequency/voltage setting. But, if you have a low binned chip for example, you might not be able to undervolt it at all because it won't boost past stock.
Most people will just leave PBO at stock and call it good, it performs well at auto overclocking itself.
So with just pbo on, and fmax enabled, I’m currently getting 4.5 all core
so that’s an improvement
79C
Definitely an improvement. You don't want temps getting much higher than that.
no curve optimizer here
well, didn’t AMD say that 5950x is intended to be in the 90s? Lol
AMD is not freaking out over its latest generation Zen 3 processors hitting higher temperatures than what users might be accustomed to, or comfortable with, based on temp characteristics of prior generation CPUs. In certain instances, a Ryzen 5000 series CPU may run at 90C or even 95C, which is "typical and by design," according to AMD.That said...
That worries me. It sounds like the marketing team needs to have a talk with the technical team.
Lol
"Yes. I want to be clear with everyone that AMD views temps up to 90C (5800X/5900X/5950X) and 95C (5600X) as typical and by design for full load conditions. Having a higher maximum temperature supported by the silicon and firmware allows the CPU to pursue higher and longer boost performance before the algorithm pulls back for thermal reasons," Hallock said.
Up to 90C, not over for the 5950
95C for the 5600 which is... odd
that's just a tad high... lol
Reason: Duplicated text
seems like it shouldn't be right, but who am I to question engineers
That's the director of MARKETING saying that, I bet the technical team was panicking when he did.
ahhh
Official spec still lists 90C as the max load temp, any higher you'll hit thermal cutoff.
Well, I figured out what was keeping my multicore capped at 3.4 vs 4.5
It’s enabling dynamic OC
apparently there’s more to it then just enabling it
I’m a couple 1000 points away from that score
A COUPLE
Rip dead pixel on your screen
How to oc locked cpu 
Get a key and unlock it

That’s not a dead pixel lol
We get a key to unlock the non k cpus
What is it then?
No idea, but there’s no dead pixel here lmao
But yea, finally figured this out
I settled on 4.6 ghz all cores above a current of 45 amps - that runs at about 76C
and about 5.1 ish ghz single core here
OC THE CASHE FREE FPS GAIN
how do you OC the cache?
What mobo?
dark hero
Aight to tweaker then right you will see ring down bin, below it is the cashe
@final glade it looks like this
What the hell is this lol
I haven’t read anything about overclocking the cache yet
Just change the numbers
@final glade don’t do anything yet tho
What’s your cpu ghz and voltage? @final glade
multicore or single core?
Multi core
Ok start off with cashe of 40 then slow work it up till instability. WARNING PC MAY NO BOOTO AND MANUAL BIOS RESET MAY BE NEEDED
Do it then
Max I’d say is 44
45 maybe if lucky
But I’d start off with 40 just to make sure u can boot
Btw u want the top and bottom the same
@final glade
Tell me how high u able to get it
And I’m getting fantastic results already
Wdym?
I just finally got all cores to boost to 4.6 ghz stable at 76C all core with dynamic OC getting to 5.1 ghz single core
without crashes
Well yea, voltage spikes for the single core - when gaming
When doing heavy multi threading stuff it optimizes for that automatically
this dynamic OC on the dark hero is amazing
Was overclocking the ram and wouldn’t post to windows but was stuck in the bios load up. It turns out I can click the restart button and it loads safe mode
Wish I knew that before
XD
quick question, whats the average voltage for r5 1600 at 4ghz? im stuck at 3.9 at 1.4v
Silicon degradation 📈📈📈📈📈
damn
1.38v will be good?
I think it’s 1.25v and below to stop silicon degradation
but 1.24v its stock on full load
That’s good
Below 1.25
Btw if u ran stress test for at least like 10 to 30m u might’ve degraded the silicon already so it can’t reach its old clocks
Maybe
U have to check for yourself
by default im using stock clock, im raising it only when im playing something like watchdogs2. i cant play stress test for that long on 3.9 cause of the temperatures
I managed to oc my i9 9900k to 5.0 ghz on all cores and kept it under 80°c
pretty ok
what voltage?
lets go! congrats dude
overclocking is a jojo reference to hamon overdrive
I don't remember exactly since I'm at school rn but I think it was 1.3-1.32
Any good overclock for delta rgb 3600mhz ram?
Teamgroup ram? Highly doubtful
Recommend downloading Thaiphoon and seeing what chips that actually has on it http://www.softnology.biz/files.html
Ok I’ll check it out
or post the full xmp timings
Hey, What is the Safe SOC voltage for Ryzen 3 2200G on a Asus TUF B450 Plus.??
What about VEga 8 GPU safe voltage?
so, I am running a rx 5700 xt at 2150MHz with an under volt to 1090mV and vram at 1800MHz I've gotten it to run stable before resetting my pc but I wanted to get someone who is more experienced with overclocking to give their opinion
@solar hill 1.2v soc, and the vega8 gpu on it uses soc voltage, so 1.2 as well
Reference or AIB? AIB should be able to do higher mem clock, but otherwise looks normal for a reference card
Aib but the cooler really sucks, it's the xfx raw ii
thnx
hi how i can make a xmp profile
Yo can't? It's programmed onto the ram itself
when i tried to make change to anther profile i dont find any profile so i can activate the xmp
Is your ram in the right slots?
What board and CPU?
Ah, yeah with a Core i5 the fastest you can go is 2666
Yeah, the fastest it will work is 2666
is it batter to change the ram and the MB or only to buy 2 sticks of ram?
and then try to activate the xmp
You definitely need another stick of ram
dual channel is a 20-30% performance boost but it will never run faster than 2666
On that motherboard
If you want faster ram you'll need a Z490 motherboard
If you play games, a second stick of ram is a big difference
But XMP won't work on that board since the XMP is 3000 and the board will only do 2666 I think
yes for sure i will buy another stick
i can buy 3000 ram
but they give me 2666
or it will be error ?
or it will run good but at 2666
i am thinking to buy high ram for future upgrade as one time not wasting money
It will run just fine at 2666
ok
i got it
so for now i buy 2 stick and then i upgrade other things
what you suggest for upgrades
yes, that sounds good
like the steps
from my understanding it's best to only use the same exact RAM stick for expansion, I've heard that issues can arise if you start mixing and matching
although I only saw that on like one Reddit post
Nah, they will all just run at the slowest speed
IDK, depends on what you have now and what you want down the road
Honestly the 100400F is a great CPU for gaming and other things
Shouldn't need to upgrade if all you do is game and watch YouTube
SHould be fine for 1080p games
ok
so only i need to change the ram to 2 strick rams and my MB for higher hmz
mhz
If you want to.
i dont know ><
i am not experience in this things what is good what is not that is why i asked
the only reason I considered upgrading my RAM was A) I play Escape From Tarkov, notorious for needing a large amount of RAM; B) I'm a computer science student and use at my peak about 18 to 20 GB of RAM
mmm
16 gb of ram should be fine for 99% of games
with a Z490 upgrade and 3200 mhz ram, the 10400F out performs the AMD 3600 in games
You're welcome!
Hey so I finally upgraded to a high end 3080 and I thought ok I can now power through some games at max settings and now here I am wondering If I am bottlenecked because it seems like almost every single game I play puts a load on the cpu but not the gpu. Like is there something I'm missing?
What CPU do you have?
does anyone know abt overclocking ram? I am new and want to find the most stable clock for my friend he is running ddr4 gskill aegis ram what is a safe voltage that won't make him overheat?
and also in the bios when he puts the voltage up does he put the frequency up or no? sry i am very new
Check the pinned messages for a starter OC guide 🙂
My RAM is at 14-14-14-14-30-44 @ 3600, but if I follow the rest of the safe DRAM calculator configuration other than T1 Gear Down then I run into problems or can't boot.
Try messing with the voltage. you might have gotten worse sticks
need more information on what RAM. In either case it's just trial and error. Try and get the memory as fast as reasonably possible, then adjust the timings to be as tight as possible. Then try the memory a step lower than the fastest speed, adjust memory timings again, and run benchmarks to see which is better
1.45v
Oof
It could be temps, or you just lost the silicon lottery
it do be like that sometimes
B die is notorious for having a huge variety in quality.
There's really, really, insanely good chips, and at the same time there can be some really, really crappy ones
and the best (worst) part is they could end up on the same stick by chance, and you're bottlenecked by the performance of the worst chip
You saying I should swap slots 2/4 with 1/3?
I did make sure the same sticks from the same package were in 2/4
Go with whatever your motherboard recommends
Ye. Wasn't a 4 pack so just to be safe I made the same exact ones from the same package to be in the main slots
I'm not sure, but you should run the ones from the same package in the same channels
Yep
5600X
with 4 sticks of bdie, the inner 2 are cooking
they'll be warmer for sure
Opa Vai de mine
but if it's not temperature, it could be just the fact that B die is also notoriously harder to run
you may want to set vSOC
The XMP for 4400 was 1.45 but for the 4266 it was 1.3 so I just manually changed it to 1.3 now.
interesting
VDDCR is 1.42 is that alright?
that should be OK
I don't use the XMP, I just copied the voltage.
you could even try 1.4, maybe
I mean I'm down to 3600 tho
I was referring to vSOC, which is voltage for your CPU memory controller
VDDCR is referred to as VSOC?
No, VDDCR is something else
Where do I look for voltage subtimings
you need voltage to get memory to hit lower timings
So much different acronyms voltage settings on just the main page on Asus
not surprised
I wouldn't drop to 1.3. At least 1.35, I would try 1.4
for vDIMM
I would also bump up vSOC to 1.2
I can't find this VSOC
What board do you have?
Do you see uncore voltage?
Asus B550-F and it's rated up to 4400Mhz on RAM
No. All I see is soc/uncore mode which is disabled
CL19. I'm just going over everything and I'm still nowhere. Sorry I overlooked that question.
3600 C14 is pushing it with 4 sticks. I think overclocking your SOC would help, but idk what it's called in your BIOS
I know overclocking with 4 sticks is more limited than 2, but I didn't know that applied to lower timings as well. I thought at 3600 I'd be fine, but I guess not.
for a 5600x, it should be fine with 4000+ on 4 sticks
Can't get over 1800 fabric clock
I'll let you know when I get home, or did I misunderstand that since you gave me the numbers?
@quick rose What's with Thread Error Handler in TestMem5?
Says TM5 crash, but it never stopped and behaves like everything is fine
so umm gm
If you can't get over 1800 fclk I'm afraid you got a pretty bad bin
Sweeeeeeeet
Btw I have my timings 15-15-15-15-36-51 just to be safe and @ 1.4v
ResizeBar keeps resetting to On in BIOS and it's basically useless. Causes more in game problems than good.
What name is ram under for temperature sensors because there is nothing obvious.
All I've seen were 70° and 30° so I'm assuming the 33° was the RAM at 1.45v
Will temperature drop if voltage is unchanged, but timings are looser?
I haven't had a problem with my 14 timings + T1 Gear Down, 48 Ohms. Just issues if I mess with the rest.
afaik ram doesn't usually have a temperature sensor
Gskills generally have temp sensors
I have sensors in my FlareX. I managed to read them using Thaiphoon burner, but I have to manually refresh the page to get readings
They show up on hwinfo64
yea ik how to set a phone fire
teach me.
oh wait, i know, buy a note 7
seeing mixed answers online about flashing a bios from a 3x8pin 3080 to a 2x8pin model
does it work/do anything for the power limit?
have a 3080 vision oc with 370W limit
dont bother trying flashing a 3x8 bios to a 2x8 card
50% chance it "bricks" it
if it doesnt brick, it doesnt pull full power
- Wouldn't flash without dual BIOS support
- If you're flashing to a version with fewer pins, odds are that it isn't worth
- Flashing to a different BIOS may kill an output port (if not the card entirely)
Samsung b-die 3600 8x4 16 16 16 36 here , can I get advice for oc ram for a few extra mhgz
I wish I could just give my system to buildzoid and have him oc my ram. Bet that sicko would like it too. 😂
Max out your IF, then loosen timings to 18-20-20-40 and match the if with mem clock. A lot is pinned
You probably have thermal headroom to 1.4-1.45v for vdimm
What’s IF stand for
Inner feminist
Internal fromage
Interesting facts

I’m going to sleep but I’m gonna dream about Maxxing out my IF,
Institutional faculties
I dunno man. Past 3800 it really isn't worth it. And for 4000 for the few who can do FCLK 2000 stable in all workloads
Read killwill's posts here #535602074130317352 message
Never heard of this
Flashing the wrong bios on anything has a chance to brick it, or worse.
Very hard to actually brick a gpu that way
You can almost always re-flash the card as long as you have any other kind of gpu/igpu just to get display out.
And at worst there's always the ch341a method
Yeah but until you repair it, it's basically unusable. You can usually repair a brick. I've done it after bad android flashes
"Brick" means it's unrepairable
How do i overclock my mobile graphics card? Its the 1650ti
Ok thank you
Just bad flash bricking, if you don't have a second gpu
Its a brick until you fix it
still not bricking
Everyone is getting technical today... Oh wait it's a tech thread, silly me I should expect that.
TL;DR if you're considering flashing your gpu, keep some other form of display out on hand
So I have an issue! I installed a new AIO and 2 sticks of RAM and I had previously OC my GPU (2060 Super) now when I play Warzone for about 2 hours my PC restarts and I get KERNEL MODE HEAP CORRUPTION, does anyone have any advice or have seen this before?
Driver update needed or graphics card malfunction, lower your OC and see if that helps maybe overheating or something, are you running beyond voltage limits? obviously check for driver updates.
Okay, so I've been informed about from #cpus-mobo-and-memory about Auto OC in my R5 5600x. How do I approach overclocking its chip when it's already overclocking by default?
@pliant cloak I have updated drivers with DDU I now have 32gbs of RAM on MSI afterburner it runs at 7000 MHz and GPU Clock is at 1470 MHz the highest temp I've seen is 60 degrees. All those numbers are when I have afterburner open and game running
I bet it is a driver error of some kinds, lots of things you could try like rolling back to a previous driver version, complete unistalling the driver from your machine and reinstalling fresh. It could also be another driver from a different piece of hardware that is conflicting, so you'd need to check for any issues using "driver verifier manager". If all your drivers check out and it still gives you errors on old drivers, you might want to diagnose your RAM.
How would I diagnose my RAM?
windows memory diagnostic
I've used it many of times to trouble shoot issues where my RAM was the root cause but not obvious. It takes a few steps to complete the process but it is rather straight forward.
Okay thank you! I hope I can figure it out!
Knowing there are potential faults on DIMM sticks, I'm keeping my 2400-DDR4 double-sticks as backup, in case either of my 3200-speed sticks get faulty and had to ship them for replacements.
interesting observation.. have a ryzen 5 3600x that was previously undervolted by 84mV. was getting occasional audio crackling that i thought was my headphones starting to fail, but saw it mentioned that audio crackling can be caused by some voltages (cpu, vddg, and/or soc) being too low, changed cpu undervolt to 72mV and the audio crackling is gone
what's the best stable overclock with the 5600x with the stock cooler?
Kind of stuff you have to test on yourown
You payed $300 for a CPU and you're using the stock cooler?

It's a decent cooler
¯_(ツ)_/¯
what is overclocking? can i do it on my laptop? will i damage anything/lose any data?
o ok
you could
sorry im not good with computers when it comes to stuff like overclocking, building pcs, etc
Alright listen I'm new to overclocking and what are your thoughts on R5 3600 and any advice?
Got a overkill aftermarket that won't be an issue


"decent"
it WILL let you get to the highest overclock it can reach though
only if you have a good airflow case that is

I overclocked my i7 9700k to 5.4 GHZ
Pretty stable actually
ima tone it down though
Best oc for a 2070 super???
It depends on your binning. Trial and error will get you your answer. What works for one person won't be stable for another.
inb4 they dont
Possible, but golden chip if ambient lol, and only for light benches
It isn't unless you like 95°c and somehow is an acceptable temperature claimed by AMD, but not for any other Zen 3 chip. People who think it's decent is because the temperature is being tamed by clocks dropping off the cliff and losing significant performance.
Laptops are usually already at their limit. Undervolting is a popular option. Let it do it's thing and boost. Don't overclock which you most likely can't.
TDP is unrealistic to real life performance. A 5600X can go over 120watts easily.
Just enable PBO
I have my R7 2700 (non-X), a 65 Watt chip, overclocked. It pulls a peak of 140+ Watts.
Conveniently nowhere on the internet can I find an actual number to put to any of the AMD stock coolers
Funny how that works isn't it 😅
They're only designed to cool the chips at stock. If you undervolt it you might be able to overclock a little on stock cooling.
The cooler on my i7-4790 is basic extruded aluminum, keeps it cool. I wouldn't know how many watts the cpu draws, probably not that much at full load @~3.8GHz, beyond knowing the TDP is 84w
You can find out by looking at CPU Package Power in HWinfo
A modern AMD stock cooler would be superior no doubt, so there lies the question, why would an AMD stock cooler only be able to dissipate 65 watts?
Haven't touched my computer in months, I doubt I've even had HWiNFO installed on it
Hundreds of miles away unfortunately
Cooler technology hasn't really advanced much. It's still just a piece of thermally conductive metal in a certain shape to maximize heat dissipation with a fan on it.
When I had my FX 8300 I used the stock cooler from my older Phenom II x4 that had a higher TDP, it overclocked quite well on that.
65watt cooling is boosting for so little. Overclocking aside it's just bad when it can't even sustain boosts even half decent.
Airflow would help that problem, as far as stock coolers go the Wraiths aren't terrible. Not good, but not terrible.
any cooler recomendation for a r5 3600?
That statement doesn't make much sense. I mean of course airflow helps, but adding more fans doesn't fix the problem that is a copper disc attached to cheap thick aluminum fins.
The chip can't even reach its full potential because it's limited by that cooler.
Right, it doesn't fix the problem but it does help alleviate it partially
Your budget?
like 140
Air cooling is fine for that chip, but with that budget you could go liquid if you wanted.
I saw earlier on #675035372253741092 the Hyper 212 had a promo code + rebate deal
What currency
i was thinking of buying the nh-d15 but i think thats a little overkill
us dollars
A Deepcool GAMMAX is 100% perfectly fine for it. That noctua is straight overkill, but nice nonetheless
Or Arctic Freezer 34
Yeah that's only a 65 Watt chip, and if you overclock you can roughly double that. A decent air cooler can do 150 Watt or better cooling capacity.
Extruded cooler much like mine, very basic and small, wouldn't the newer AMD coolers be easily superior? Seems like they would do fine maintaining an adequate stock boost
and what about aio coolers?
TDP is again, completely not reflective of real life wattage. You should get 74° peak or less with the GAMMAX
Even more overkill. It's just cool to look at.
oh ok
Overclocking headroom is hit or miss with the 3600 and its nothing but decreased gains for significantly more cost, that is if you win the lottery with a 3600. Most don't see past 4.1-4.2Ghz
Better to have the latest BIOS and chipset updates and simply enable PBO
got it thx!!
212 is hot garbage
Barely better perf than a prism
Anyone got the AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.0?
What would you suggest instead?
Get a SE-224-xt :P
Ordered.
Prism actually performs better
Source?
Vintage did tests himself
Finally out of beta on my Asus and installed AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.0. PBO Advanced is still significantly better than PBO On/Auto. Or maybe not, but to me a 600 point difference in Cinebench matters.
@proven canopy
I also did some tests on my 3800x, 3600x, and 3600 to check (also compared both to a Spire)
Straight cooling, Prism wins
By a few degrees
+RGB
Acoustics not factored
¯_(ツ)_/¯
My effective clocks are higher though. 4.65 all cores/threads. That's a change.
That's the only irl change I see. My effective clocks are much more in line with my perf when under load.
Straight cooling being 100%?
😐
Oh god I wish I was on PC so I could send the testing data
Noise normalized. Who runs their cooler at 40 DB?
Real world performance Prism is better lol
Source?
Aegis sent me this a while ago, haven't looked around myself https://www.computerbase.de/2018-05/amd-wraith-prism-boxed-kuehler-test/2/
I got my 3700X and put the 212 on it first. then deinstalled and installed Prism. For me it was slightly better, like 2-3C under load
No noise normalized anything because IMO that's not real world
People install and use whatever curve is in there
But which was louder when the prism was 2-3C cooler
That's pretty integral to the comparison though lol
Depends on if the person wants cooler or quieter
my delta fans can cool my cpu 
Anyway, no matter what I'd never tell someone to spend $35 to get a 212 when the chip comes with the prism
at 30k rpm
We are absolutely 100% in agreement there
212 is a waste of money period IMO with better cheaper coolers on the market
it was good like 5 years ago
It's been $20 from time to time, I'd get it over a gammax 400 when I actually need to buy a cooler
oh wait its like 15 years old
Longer than that lol, D14/d15 have existed for a long time
it depends on the airflow of the case sara
a year or two before that but yeah
D15 was basically a d14 with better ram clearance
Gammax coolers aren't bad at all people need to start looking at them
212 rgb black when it goes on sale for like 35 or less is fine
depending on whether you care at all about looks
212 is kinda bad
the difference is so marginal below that point
I can echo what vintage said about prism and 212 performing basically identically on a 3700X, prism's just a bit louder at max load
yeah, we're all on board there I think lol
becomes more a matter of what you have and what you want
im building my first computer and wanted to know if overclocking JUST the gpu while gaming and working without the cpu is possible
ya
Completely, you don't need to do both
ok thank you!
If this is about not wanting to touch the BIOS, just make sure you enable XMP/DOCP
i overclocked my pc to 2.0 GHz
What motherboard and CPU do you have?
@crisp chasm you probably are not the same guy but found someone w same profile pic on a form talking about xeons
@wicked vale it varys between different MOBOs
I am a ruthless economy boy so i am used to the good old grey on blue
nah
for gpu use msi afterburner
i havnt overclocked my cpu yet
What cpu?
wdym?
Jus curious
Can someone help me over clocking my 10600k? I have never tried over clocking before
@vernal sail do you know how to help me
I have a msi mag z490 gaming plus
Look up a walkthrough for your motherboard
just go to max safe voltage then individually increase each core until it crashes 
Max set voltage you should go is 1.45v, socket llc5 is best, and remove power limits
Yeah, what they said on the CPu
As a person who has never worked with this before I would literally have no idea what to do
Any programs that I need to test performance/stability
Mash del or f2 or something on boot
p95
Uuh i like fur mark and its built in cpu burner
Forks has a great pinned guide on where to stary
^
Right in this channel
Fitz gives good advice
I recommend occt for an intro to stability testing
Reading a guide is nice and all, but if you aren't familiar with your bios, you have no idea where to start
manual
Manual doesn't tell you where vcore, llc or power limita are
I’ll look up a YouTube video and if I need more help I’ll come back with some more specific questions
shameless plug https://hwbot.org/team/wegg/#Members
Ayyy
Im sure you are giving good advice I just dont know how to change voltage and stuff
@vernal sail does the cpu burner ever stop
I have a i7 10700F, Nivdia Rtx 2060 and for motherboard a
i think dorado intel h470
just go into afterburner and increase core, memory until it crashes
Max out power limit as well
That score is bonkers
Almost a 2070s
Na
the 2700x isn't even overclocked
shame on you
You even had better ram and mine still performed better 


dr > sr
moar chips, more faster
just rank interleaving
https://www.3dmark.com/spy/12514945 there's a 2700x score for you to beat
interleaving gives like 10-20% more cpu score in timespy for some dumb reason
no, like timespy is the worst abuser of it
and?
my 2700x won't go past 4.2 at any voltage 
that's a you issue
You can't overclock that CPU since you need a 10700k or a 10700kf and a Z490 motherboard.
Ok I’m back
I tried over clocking my cpu to 5gzh on all cores but that wasn’t stable, so I tried 5gzh on two and 4.9 on the rest and that was stable the only problem, was that in hardware info it said all cores were around 99 degrees C and it was throttling
So it was only actually around 4.8 on all cores
I don’t know if it’s just my cooler
But in this video I’m watching this guy has the same settings but only sitting at 85 degrees max with a dark rock
Bruh my voltage was auto set to 1.57 that makes a lot more sense
I set it to 1.3 and it’s doing a lot better
With the same score as it was doing with the really high voltage
@tall pelican could you help me rn
Is it your fan curve?
Bc a dark rock should tame that easy
And 100ish c is NOT a place you want to be
Wait didn’t you just solve the problem
It’s not my fan curve
I fixed it some,
I can bench and stress in cpuz but if I try to run furmark cpu burner it bluescreeens
@vernal sail
I have a 240mm aio
For reference
Hey I’m new to the whole overclocking scene. How do I get started? I have a MSI GeForce rtx 3060 ti, intel core I5 9600k. Thanks
Search up a video for your specific motherboard (and cpu if there’s one for both together) and kinda copy what they are doing
Ty
Same for your graphics card (you will need msi afterburner
I’m just curious. But I’m afraid that I’ll mess up overclocking so bad that I’ll bsod boot loop my 2k rig or something
Afterburner oc is pretty simple and easy, just need to read up a lot on CPU oc in bios
Basically, don't oc ram if you don't want to deal with boot loops or no boot
Otherwise, software oc (msi afterburner, Intel xtu) have options not to apply on startup, so if they do crash, they aren't applied again
I just enabled xmp because it sounded a lot harder to oc ram
Ty kind sir
Too much reset cmos/flashing new bios
If only my gpu would come on Monday instead of Tuesday
Because I actually have school on Tuesday
Usually you won't do any permanent damage if you messed up an overclock unless you pushed the voltage too high (many motherboards will warn you if you try that)
It's best and most stable to make all of your changes in BIOS, but software is OK for testing.
anyone have an idea on how to OC a 10700k
I have a kraken AIO X53 cooler
vision g motherboard from gigabyte
anyone?
bueller?
look up a walkthrough of your bios for your motherboard
you have up to 1.45v vcore, load line on medium/high, and increase clocks until unstable
i tryed to oc the cpu and corrupted my windows so i gave up i focus on gpu
I just have PBO on and call it a day
That 2060S is cookin with gas tho
She be fast
also the ram is 3600 but isnt stable so its set to 3333
this is my best run https://www.3dmark.com/spy/18293528
and this is second best https://www.3dmark.com/spy/16064202
yes
the max power limit is actually determined by the GPU bios the PCB is rated for 110% power delivery
basically the card maker EVGA or whoever overbuilds the cards to provide more power or what ever thats why they charge more for the part
set the power to max and that should help
@bleak sable
if its like the 20 series in terms of oc it should hit atleast +70
thats mine
i meant the almost all 20 series cards hit plus 70 i don't know about the 30 series but i would guess its similar and will probably be stable at +70 or more
hit the auto oc button on msi it should be close to the max you can do
im hitting 2100 clocks
auto OC takes the fun away
Hey I need some advice... I overclocked my cpu and it’s pretty stable but it’s around 85-90 degrees Celsius after a few minutes of cinebench. Is this fine or do I need to turn down the over clock? Also, unrelated question, what is a ring frequency/ratio setting and how does it affect overclocking and temperatures? I saw some video and the guy sets it to a certain value but I’m confused what that does.
IDK about the ring thing but 85 is on the hot side not super dangerous but i wouldn't use it as a daily driver just get your bragging rite bench save it then turn it down
@mint mountain
what CPU?
10600k
Only 4.9 gzh on all cores
At 5 it needed to be at like 100 degrees to be stable lol
@dusty gulch
65 - 90 is ok
but but lower is better
at 85-90 you might start thermal throttling and could shave some time off the life of the part
90 degrees?
is that on stock cooler or?
you're using the scanner instead of doing it yourself
then here's a better answer: afterburner's scanner is stupid and you should do it yourself
It’s on a 240 mm aio
@tall pelican that's not helpful
The scanner is fine it gives you a good starting point to work off of
As for the error @bleak sable the problem seems to be ether gpu driver related or a older version of msi afterburner
I will look into more later as I'm on my slow ass data right now but try downloading the newest msi afterburner also if you have other gpu oc tools turn them off they can also cause the error
Version is newest, and im havving driver issues i can reinstall later
thank you for actually being hepful i appreciateit
DDU then just to be sure the clean install in the drivers does not work properly
No prob
People here can be really my way or highway
If you need more help feel free to @ or dm me
Also @sterile flame
The way I knew my OC wouldn’t work is because windows wouldn’t boot with the OC on
Yeah but what are you supposed to do at that point?
lower the oc
I had increased it literally the minimum amount I could
huh
Past boost
Try increasing individual cores then
Dunno if you can do that in my bios
one of the cores doesn't like the oc
you can in ryzen master if you're okay with always having it in background 
Thanks to #cpus-mobo-and-memory, I learned a thing or two about Precision Boost Overdrive and Max Boost Override. So I tried a couple options with my 5600x.
- PBO enabled
- PBO advanced + 200Mhz Override
In stock settings, all cores can go 4.2ghz while single core boosts to 4.64ghz. With PBO enabled, the single core stat remains the same, yet the speed for all cores moved up to 4.53ghz; heats up like a mudda at 83c, though. With PBO Advanced+200, the single core actually gains a boost with 4.83Mhz and--as of Cinebench--it holds by that speed. In a weird twist, all cores not only didn't go above 4.53, it downscaled from the stock setting to reaching 4.16ghz.
At least I know my CPU can boost up to 4.8, but only in single core. Anything more than 4.5 on all cores, and the computer shuts down on me. I'm sure there's more tinkering involved to stable all cores at higher speeds than its PBO spec, but frankly, I'm glad to gather the data as is.
raised the pbo limits?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
you're most likely hitting some limit during cinebench, causing the low clocks
For another day.
Does overclocking mean going over the boost clock of a CPU? For example the r7 3700x has a boost clock of 4.4. Does overclock improve that number or is that the max
yes
Overclocking with PBO will increase the max boost clock, manual overclocking gets tricky since some cores might not like staying so high for so long.
Whenever I overclock my 3060 ti to 1000+, my pc black screens for a minute and then programs close
oof
If it was power it would just shut off. It sounds like it just doesn't want to clock that high
The motherboard has little to do with the GPU
The GPU draws most of its power direct from the supply
Oh right the power doesn't go through the motherboard
1000+ what?
The cpu does
I use msi agterburned
Wow
That was good typing
Afterburner
Yeay +1000hz or higher
like above +1000 mem/core it's probably just silicon can't take it higher
Jesus christ I hate mobile keybiards
silicon lottery
Keybiards lmao
You may be able to do a custom vBIOS mod to allow for higher power limits and temperature limits but you'd run the risk of burning out the card pretty fast
I used to use mobile more, but now that I have headphones that works with my pc so im on that kore
eh, vbios mod just for a bit of vram is not gonna be something I'd do lel
Yeah id rather not risk that, its my first real pc and its going to be my pc for atleast 3 years
Yeah definitely not worth the risk
I'd say never do vbios mods unless you have another GPU you can boot with to flash another vbios on
even then take it with a grain of salt
I meant it more as a "if you really want to it's possible" but usually you wouldn't want to
Yeah my cpu bottlenecks my gpu slightly without overclocking, so doesnt matter that much
Reason: Bad word usage
That's why it warns instead of insta ban lol
Now you know
Lol yeah
with what you're describing are you sure you're doing memory overclock?
SCP fan
Yeah its definitely memory overclock mando, it says memory ovetclock on msi afterburber
My friend was wondering, can you overclock an all in one? I had them try to download MSI afterburner, doesnt even install
Alr thanks
It's also probably Intel which requires a K model CPU
What version?
Is it 8 or 7 or something?
Do you know if it isnt windows 10?
Idk
I was just helping him a lil while ago with making a parts list, he asked me yesterday how to make his aio go faster
best upgrade you could do to that is RAM and maybe an SSD
Yeah thats what I just dmed him
Said switch to an ssd if he has to wait a while to buy his pc
It probs has a 64 or 128gb SSD, especially if it was a “higher quality” one at the time
Idk, hes planning in either building a pc or getting one for around 1300 usd
You could get a 3060 with that right?
He lives in eu tho, so prices are a little higher there
Cool wanted to make sure I wasn't being dumb
Not AFAIK
Sort of but not really and only on certain HDD
ah.
It would require a HDD with molex connector and some electrical work, stripping and soldering
But at that point just get a SSD, way easier
Not unless you have A die DDR3, then it's reasonable
nah, b die OC sounds fine with 1.6v
same with rev.e
@proven canopy does rev e care as much about heat as b die with higher voltages?
definitely not
fair
see buildzoids rev.e vs hairdryer vid
alright, thanks

Read the 2399 logs :p
On July 17th, 1943, agents from the Allied Occult Initiative contacted Foundation directors stationed at La Paz, Mexico, and requested assistance with transportation towards the site of the 001-Apotheosis entity. Foundation operatives moved quickly to dispatch a plane to retrieve the AOI members. After arriving, the agents described a unique anomalous artifact they had in their custody, and how it might be used to slow the advance of the 001-Apotheosis entity.
"Records of the event following the appearance of SCP-2399 are incomplete and likely inaccurate. The result of this engagement was the annihilation of SCP-001. SCP-2399 disappeared and was later discovered in low-Jupiter orbit in a state of disrepair, though the reason for this is currently unknown."
