Thank you both for your help, sorry for minorly derailing it when my pc didn't like reclocking the cpu/ram but I think that's fixed too now. I think the fix goes to Jurrunio as flashing is all it took it seems.

alright, seems to be functioning now. Snowrunner is making it boost too.

So I did get it to run through 3dmark fine, seems it is upclocking now. Will test with Snowrunner to see if it's consistent Not sure why core voltage doesn't show up, but as long as it isn't hurting anything I guess.

I'm gunna try and run it through 3dmark - timespy with my afterburner monitor running to see if the clocks increase or not, will post screenshots of the chart when done

I am also somewhat fairly certain 1350 MHz was what my Asus dual 2080 ti was rated for. Fact check me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunately my only spare GPU I had (an old 550 ti) stopped working a month ago, so I can't really test that now; but from what I remember it would run at 100% if I gave it a task hard enough

In response to needing underclocking, I dunno if this means much but after referring to the x470 user manual I set it to max O.C. setting (3466 MHz) and it seems to run without looping. What type of testing should I do to determine stability? And for how long?

After some cpu clocking, I have determined that yes it is the ram causing this. So yeah, now I just need underclocking advice

Aight so after fighting my computer for a good hour after flashing the bios, it really doesn't want to run anything but stock settings (3700 MHz cpu and 2133 MHz ram). Something is not happy. But the flash was successful without errors, and it does load to windows on default. This is going to be fun.

I'll look into testing this, I will note that in order to run the ram at the 3602 profile I had to bump the voltage to 1.355 because at 1.35 it would sometimes (whenever it felt like it) boot loop when powering on cold.

Unfortunately already there

I'm trying to diagnose why i am getting very poor framerates and not amazing frame times on a whole slew of games with my current build. I'm not sure as to why they are so bad when the cpu /gpu /ram usage is relatively tame; or if it is the case, why my components are not kicking fully in to provide the wanted performance. Image provided is from the worst offender in this right: Snowrunner. (and as you can see, it is not utilitizing the maximum of my gpu, cpu, or ram yet still only managing 45 fps on average) PC Specs MOBO: Asus Prime x470 Pro (BIOS Ver. 5843) CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X @ 4.0GHz (YD270XBGM88AF) RAM: G. Skill (2x8) 16GB 3600 MHz cl17 DDR4 (running smoothly at its XMP-3602 MHz Profile) (F4-3600C17-8GTZR) GPU: Asus Dual RTX 2080 ti (TU102-300A) Monitor: MSI Optix MAG241C PSU: Corsair RM850x (850w) SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 2TB (MZ-76E2T0B/AM) OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (Ver. 1909)

Alright, I'll go try this later. Thanks for the help!

Thank you! Alright, thank you on the suggestion to avoid upgrading the SSD, I was skeptical of keeping the 860 evo just because it's not considered top of the line for its' time. It's the same story with me considering replacing the 2080 ti with a better one (as the dual is not that great in terms of 2080 ti's either) Yeah after some consideration I'd be inclined to agree. Some research lead me to understanding that the 3700x would fare barely better than my current one due to having similar (and described by linus at one point I believe) limitations on bus speed. The 4k series from what I understand does away with that a bit? I might have to get ahold of someone to help me understand how to (relatively safely) overclock my RAM then, as I have a strong feeling my limitations are tied to that CAS latency (either that or my RAM might be bad(!!)). Alright I'll look into that, although I am fond of the feel of my current curved screen display (gives an artificial feel of field of view). I went ahead and found another Samsung display that fits more what i like, while staying within what you reccomend (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/z6YWGX/samsung-c27hg70-269-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-lc27hg70qqnxza). I also do like VA panels, a bit of the best of both worlds (assuming there is no blur, as I had with my old old monitor before this one). Comments are still appreciated though. Thanks for the help both you and 5x5!

Would that mean some of the fps issues I'm having would be more tied to software (whether game or on pc)?
