I am trying to overclock (for the first time) and am at 4.0ghz at approx 1.31/1.32v. I've uploaded a picture of its HWinfo64 during a prime95 test. Am I doing this wrongly? I have read a lot of articles talking about LLC, and I am unable to find it in my BIOS settings. For reference, I am using Asus Prime B350M-A, Ryzen 5 2600 with a Cryorig R1. If it's helpful, I was stable at 1.24v, 3.9ghz. I thought i won the silicon lottery xd

thanks! I'm using the Ryzen Balanced profile though, will it get deactivated once I OC? So is it safe to say all I should care about once I OC is temps and voltage of CPU & Mobo under load?

I'm planning to overclock my CPU. If I'm planning a 4.0 ghz overclock, will it always run at 4.0ghz even when it's idle or <10% cpu utilization? How do I simply increase the boost clock to higher while allowing it to downclock during idle periods? For reference, I'm using Asus Prime B350M-A mobo and Cryorig R1 Universal cooler.

Hi, I am using Asus Prime B350M-A, and am going to buy a new case, NZXT's H400. The case comes with 3x 120mm fans, and I'm interested in buying 2x 140mm fans to place at the front for intake, and the 3x 120mm fans will be for exhaust. My question is, the mobo only has 1x 4pin chassis fan connector, so what are my options, and is this even possible? Thanks in advance!

oh, i am referring to the dust buildup on the PC components vs on the dust filter. Dust filters are relatively easier to clean, as compared to when the dust settles all over the MoBo, CPU cooler and ram etc right? My question would be, how much faster does dust accumulate inside the PC, relative to a positive pressure case. Is that fair?

I am in the market to buy a new case, of which I've narrowed down to NZXT's H500 and Fractal Design's Meshify C. I'd like to ask people who have been using NZXT's H500 regarding airflow and dust. Negative air pressure builds dust in the case. How fast does the dust buildup relative to your other cases experience? Is it an issue I should be worried about? How often do you clean the dust in your system? For reference, I will be running Ryzen 5 2600, with Cryorig H7 and a GTX 1070ti Zotac. Also, white H500 users, have your case experienced any form of yellowing? Thanks!

LMAO fk rly? case closed then ?? shall stick to my kryonaut

I understand! I literally bought kryonaut this morning but I can't help but fantasize about this graphite sheet since I was googling around. Even if it's 150W/m•k isn't it really really impressive lmao

wanna get you guys opinions on this vs paste! arguable this is cheaper, MAYBE reusable (puget systems says they aren't good for multiple uses) and it lasts longer, and less user error?

to be fair, there's really not much R&D, these are literally sheets of graphite paper, I can't imagine what IC has to do to innovate & improve these sheets.

Linus' video on IC Graphite Thermal Pad was 10 months ago! It had a 35W/m-k and on other forums, people were saying IC was over pricing as graphite sheets can't be that expensive. I saw this graphite pad on aliexpress with 133 sales and 40+ good reviews. It has 150~1200W/m-k! And it costs between 1-2 USD lmao. Has anybody tried it, and is there any real reason to not try it?

gotcha! ?

sorry, but how do i activate XFR?

oh god thanks so much! ?

PCIE mode = NVMe? Okay thanks! Are you aware why both SSDs above are so big in price difference? I do some 4k video editing and some light gaming here and there. Will there be other real world advantage to faster RAM? Thanks! Is there any "cons" of overclocking my CPU? What idle temps are considered good?

Hi, I am intending to upgrade a few components on my PC, and am not sure about a few things as I've read a lot on google but can't seem to understand. Current build: Asus Prime B350M-A Ryzen 5 2600 Stock cooler 4x4GB 2400Mhz DDR4 500GB SATA SSD GTX1070ti I am intending to upgrade my storage to M.2 drive. Am I able to use Samsung's EVO 970? I read a little about the NVMe thing and although pcpartpicker said it's compatible, it seems confusing. If not, am I able to use WD's M.2 SSD instead? Also, I am interested in upgrading my RAM. What mhz should I be looking at? I am aware ryzen CPUs benefit more from faster RAM speeds, but I've also seen a lot of info regarding boards not supporting faster memory. The website says "up to 3200MHz", will 2x8GB 3200MHz be significantly faster than what I'm using right now? Lastly, I have not never tried overclocking my Ryzen 5 as I do not know how. It's idle temps with all my apps open are 44-53 degrees celcius according to Core Temp. Should I overclock it? Is there a point in getting a Hyper 212 evo cooler with kryonaut thermal paste (it's ~6USD a gram in my country)? Thanks for reading!
