Managed to get it at 3.8GHz and the RAM at 2993 MHz on the bios, just stress testing it on aida64 now. If it’s been 81-82°C for the past 10 minutes, it should be alright, no? I’m stress testing the gpu (it’s constantly at 64°C with 37% fan speed) at the same time, if it matters.

So after clearing the cmos, i should just avoid messing with the voltage and only change the frequency? Also thanks guys

I’ve tried turning it on and off again, even shutting it off on the PSU. Is there a button on the mobo for a safe mode boot?

So uhh, I decided to overclock my ryzen cpu and I used the ryzen master program. I upped the frequency to 3.8 GHz and the voltage to 1.38750 (According to a Paul’s Hardware video, it should be a pretty safe overclock for a 1600) and had to restart my PC. Now it’s not really doing anything. The motherboard is showing a different light than usual, which I assume is a post error? But shouldn’t it prompt me to change the settings in the BIOS rather than just saying “No signal”? Or is it just cycling and it’s just a matter of time? Mobo: ASUS ROG B350-F Gaming CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (w/ stock cooler) GPU: gtx 1060 6gb

Update:I wrote -freq 144 in the launch options and it worked. Installed the drivers (ik, kinda dumb to only do so now) because I had the pesky black bars but now it's at 60Hz on ufotest again...

So I was warned about getting an AOC monitor because sometimes they advertise 144Hz but the monitor comes at 60Hz out of the box. I might still be able to send it back but does right-clicking on the desktop and changing the graphics card settings to run 1080p @ 144Hz actually do something in game? I notice my mouse moves much smoother and ufotest reports 144Hz, but I see no difference in CS:GO. So maybe it's the wrong place to post but anyways, thank you in advance.

I'm just scared but I think I'll go watch some vídeos on the Ryzen Master and it'll probably be fine. Thank you and sorry for not giving enough information to work with

60*

aida64 has been running for... like 6/7 minutes but I think the temperatures are at 56/57 and won't go higher than that

haven't overclocked yet, I'm running aida64 to check for temps now

So I just did a benchmark just for the heck of it and apparently my cpu is underperforming. Maybe it's because everyone overclocks their ryzen processors and I haven't done that yet? Shouild I try other benchmarks? Thank you for the help

After months of techquickie I never knew of mobile pcie, shame on me ._.

Dunno if it's this you wanted

I thought it was a Ryzen thing good to learn though, thank you

Good to know I wrecked a laptop for a proprietary card ._.
