Update your GPU drivers, then set your power plan in Windows to high performance and give it a go.

I've been postponing upgrading my PC for so long, and when I'm about to pull the trigger, DDR5 comes out of the closet looking damn interesting. As far as I remember though, we had to wait a few months before DDR4 started to outperform DDR3 back when it first came out, so... meh? It's funny how 4800MHz at 1.1v sounds really nice at the moment, but in 10 years it's going to sound as outdated DDR3 does right now.

Yes and no, it really depends on his display. If he uses a 1080p60hz one, then yeah, 3080 is overkill, but if he's using 1440p100+hz display, even a 3080 will have some issues running the most recent titles at high framerates.

Alright, so, here are the pros and cons of Straight Power 11: And here are the pros and cos of RMx PSUs: So, in conclusion, both are awesome and honestly, I'd go for the cheaper one.

You can watch an explanation of single vs multi rail here:

What wattage? What are your PC's components?

Bump, still looking for a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling Windows.

So, uhh... I can't go above 39 in the Overclock box: Edit: Forgot to mention. Disabling Multicore Enhancement and changing it to Per Core from All Cores didn't have any effect. Disabling and locking turbo power limits also didn't work.

Turbo and SpeedStep are on, C states are off, multiplier sets to 42 on all cores. Main window: FIVR: TPL: Limit reasons:

Bump, I don't want to reinstall Windows just yet. Anyone has any more ideas?

I'm using the high performance mode in Windows. All the cores run at the same frequency: Honestly, I feel like I've tried everything but re-installing Windows, so I guess I'll have to do that soon...

Older BIOS didn't work. Still locked at stock. The issue is, I never installed the software. I used EZ tune in BIOS.

Yeah, that's my thought too. I'll give it a shot. Turbo is on auto, I change the the multipliers, it doesn't have an effect in Windows. Doesn't work with neither turbo off or on. I tried using using the EZ Asus Overclocking thing, CPU still shows stock speeds even though the EZ thing set the multiplier to 44. Funnily enough, it also boosed BCLK by 2MHz and it did actually boost my clocks a bit.

The CMOS reset didn't help. Still looking at stock speeds.
