hello guys im completely beginner in oc so bear with me i have an i5-11600kf paired with an Z490 A pro mobo, AK620, and a 750w xigma psu that is dying (it do weird noise when i hit full stress test on GPU AND CPU combined) the main reason for me to oc is basically i want more fps in cs2 due me getting a 280hz monitor with the research i conducted i have oc with the following settings changed load-line calibration is mode 6 CPU ratio 49 ring 43 voltage 1.370, CPU in dynamic ratio mode NOTE: this is not something i came up with its basically a guy in youtube OC and i just copied it i have used this OC for 4 days i think and it was stable, ive tested it also in OCCT for 20 min all good however i have reverted the OC after checking some other people results with lower voltages and made me worried of degrading the cpu so as the title say can someone help me re-overclocking my CPU + any motherboard settings i need to change? thanks in advance attached below is a ss of my hwmonitor with the oc i had and without it

Hii, I need help overclocking my cpu, I have a i5-6600k, and a h110m-DGS R3.0 motherboard. I don't even need any crazy overclock right now, would just want to get it to at least 3,9ghz. Though I haven't found many options to configure cpu

EDIT: Hello everyone. Yesterday was the third anniversary of the database and I wanted to thank all of the 200+ people who have uploaded to the proyect in all these years. I have been absent for quite some time now, coming every now and then to upload a few entries and try to clean up the format, but looking back to these three years I think all of you deserve better, the database deserves better than me checking it every six months. For now I will finish registering all of the remaining entries and clean the format to facilititate readability, I will be uploading a data analysis within the week and finally I am working on a new entry form that will hopefully be more clean and organized than the first version. ---- So here it is, have you ever run into problems by overclocking too high??, boosting only 10MHz up the stock speed because you think your card might blow?? Well, today I bring you the end of your problems: THE GPU OVERCLOCKING DATABASE. Ok, bad intro over, the general idea of the database is to have a place where everyone on the internet see and compare overclocking result no matter what card they have and no matter how crazy or conservative they want to overclock them. For addional info you can check this http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/15788-gpu-overclocking-database-project/ thread. All the general idea is there. Here is the link to the form in which you can enter as many cards as you want: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1JRtSc8imZJ1J21T0bn99wP6BZbYf_uUbfMhPX4Y7LbE/viewform Spreadsheet insertion: (Coming Soon) And here is the link to the database: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc? key=0Al4AReUTy6OsdFBJRWJwTTBIRE1OQlZrSmhFYlVVa2c#gid=0 As an intencion to represent in a more complete way the overclocking, we know that not every system is the same and therefore would like every one of the participants of the database to add as much information as they please about their overcloking and their system, may they be specs, airflow description, watercooling setup, game benchmarks and synthetic results, your personal history with the card everything that you think may affect even 1% of your overclocking scenario, everything that you think may be important as long as you feel comfortable with, we know that not everyone likes to give away their system info, so everything in this step is optional, but we feel that could become a useful tool for when people check the database, which is the point of the entirer project. Those who wish to participate in this new requirement can submit their description right here on this thread and at the moment of submitting your entry you just have to link that post and I will appear on the database, just as the rest of the information. I hope to hear your feedback on how we can make this better but more than anything I hope that this database can grow so that it can be helpful for all of us. EDIT: THE POST DOES NOT REPLACE THE DATABASE SUBMISSION, Check this post by our collab Skullbringer for a general and very detailed idea on how to submit the info. Edit 1: When submitting the photos, only direct links please, we are monitoring on docs so IMG crusts don't work Edit 2: Examples of validation screenshots:

started playing around with OC on my 5800x. i was just runing pbo2 with a -30 curve opt all core. like that in CB2077 i was seeing consistent 4850mhz and 76c with a corsair 240 AIO at about 75% fan speed (quite loud). performace was good but i wanted to lower the temps. so i set pbo to manual limits of ppt 180 edc 160 edc 160 scalar 10 and max override of 200. left curve opt at -30 and set core voltage to manual. looked at voltage while playing before changing anything and underload it was 1.45-1.48 so i startted at 1.3 then id play for about a 1/2hr then drop another .1 did that untill i got to 1.0 then it boot looped. put it back up to 1.15 and played for a few hrs. took a break and played BG3 with a friend for about 4 hrs (such a good game. no problems no stutter no crash temps in the mid to low 60 and pretty solid core speed of 5050mhz was super happy. next day fired up pc and, boot loop. i thought no biggy upped core voltage to 1.2, boot loop, 1.3, boot loop, back to auto boot loop....... loaded the old set up back in bios auto everything pbo2 and neg -30 curve now its fine. tryied to set the core voltage back to just 1.35, boot to window then almost instant restart? how did i play for hrs at 1.15 now cant lower it at all?

I can't overclock my cpu(ryzen 5 1600). I tried 3.6ghz, 3.75ghz, 3.9ghz and 4ghz all with 1.4V override setting and none of them worked. And when I check HardwareInfo it works max 3.4ghz sometimes 3.2 and below. When I benchmark in cpu-z I get 2600 multicore 315 single core score.(Ryzen 5 1600's reference 3100 multicore). What should I do this time? Is there anything that I can do or do I must upgrade my cpu? Note:I was using 1050ti and upgraded to 1070 but this time i have cpu bottleneck(while playing cs and other games cpu and gpu usages are %30-%40 percent maybe below). This is why I try to overclock. I have: Ryzen 5 1600 + Msi gaming x gtx1070 + 8x2 3200Mhz Corsair Ram + 500W Psu

So, I know this question may sound dumb and I know it is, but I need some suggestion to build something, even multiple pcs to draw more than 1000 watt, obviously in the cheapest way possible, I was reading some articles about a 1080ti with custom bios drawing 1200w but maybe there is a simpler way with newer cards ? Thanks for the help!

Alright i'm going to make a quick resume here with more details further down Basically i am trying to push to get the 5.2GHz on my i7 7700k(Full parts list further) and i would need just that little bit more stability, i can run it stable at 5.1GHz@1.440V and i tried 5.2GHz but it's just not stable even at 1,500V(tried it just to se if it would of been stable, i was able to start cinebench r15 but pc frooze mid test) -------------------------------------- PC Parts List: CPU: i7 7700k delided W/ Liquid Metal under AND over the IHS(because why not, next step is going direct die :p) CPU Cooler: Captain 240 EX W/ 4x 120mm Artic P12 PWM PST Fans Mobo: Asus Prime Z270-A Ram: 32Go DDR4 @2400MHz CL15 Hyper X Fury(with 3x40mm DC Fans) GPU: EVGA 980 Ti Hybrid(come with a 120mm rad and i put liquid metal between the pump and the GPU Die and also 2 other artic P12 Fans) SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 250Go for windows and a Raid 0 of 5xKingston V300 120Go HDD: 2TB 7.2k RPM Seagate Firecuda SSHD using a sata to usb c adapter PSU: Thermaltake Grand toughpower RGB 850Watt Case: Cougar Conquer PCIe adapter: 4xUSB 3.0 to PCIe and Gigabit ethernet to PCIe Monitor: 4 Different monotor, 2 are 1080p one is 1200p and the last one is a random 17" 3:4 screen for my pc stats -------------------------------------- For the Longer and more "Technical" part of the story, Here it is: So i tried to push 5.2GHz for quite a bit of time, i got a better mobo since then and i was able to now run 5.1GHz stable but still not quite enough for the 5.2 i was aiming for. so i don't really know a whole lot about overcloking beside using the frequency multiplier and the Core Voltage, i tried once changing the Block Frequency but didn't got quite far with it so i just dial it back to 100. I have delided my cpu, put liquid metal on the die, i Lap the IHS and put liquid metal between the CPU Pump ans the IHS because i figured why not at this point when i push for the 5.2GHZ. Every single fans in the pc run at 100% and i get quite descent temps, at 5.2GHz@1.500V when i started Cinebench R15 it got up to around 80c-85c MAX Peak and it wasn't getting higher while the benchmark was running before the pc froze. i know it's hot but before i lapped the IHS, changed the motherboard and changed the Fans, i was running 5GHz 1.430V with max peak of arround 75c. i also tried on my z270-A Prime the core per core overlcock and it seams like it's my first and second core that are the worst so this also didn't got me quite further, i was able to run 5.2GHz on 3 core stable at arround 1.480V but i couldn't even get it to 5.3GHz on a single core at the same voltage so i dropped it to synchronise all core at 5.1GHz@1.440V So Here i am, looking for someone who might know a bit more about those others settings in the bios that might get it stable just enough so i would be able to run a 3D mark Firestrike Ultra, a Time Spy extreme, Cinebench R15 and R20(not obligatory in a single boot, it it finish one of them, crash and i can get all of them one by one, i'm fine with it, it's just for the personal goal) If you have More advenced tips for me Please leave them as a comment and i am going to start playing with it

Hi everyone i have an Asus Prime B650 Plus motherboard and bought KF560C36BBEK2-16 Ram kit for it but whenever i enable expo and make the settings all automatic i cant open my pc back if i turn it off. I removed and put back my BİOS battery to open it for 2 times. Updated the bios to maybe solve it but didnt work. Any ideas? I also did bencmark test for it and without the oc Rams latency is 80ish and when oc it is 60ish

I have ample cooling. The OC I have now is 40 degrees below cap under load. Im using XTU and cant seem to get this stable above the point i have it rn. All core 5.1ghz Core voltage mode is on adaptive, Core voltage 1.4v No core offset AVX2 Ratio Offset 1.0X (avx2 benchmark causes bsod with this) Turbo Boost Power Time Window 1 second. (keeps changing to 51 for some reason though.) No Intel Thermal Velocity Boost Stock CPU cache settings. It seems stable yet unstable at the same time and i have no idea why. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If any more info is needed I can supply Just want to get the absolute max performance out of this cpu. I have no power or thermal limitations (as of the moment.) I want to *try* and hit 5.5 all core stable. but if that isn't as realistic as I've read online, any boost helps

Hey guys, I have a really weird issue with Time Spy, but first the specs: Ryzen 7 5800X, Powercolor Red Dragon RX 6800XT, Kingston Fury 32GB 3200MHz CL16 RAM, Asus TUF B550 motherboard, Asus TUF 750W 80+ Gold PSU, Windows 11, every driver is up to date. So I buildt this PC a few month ago and back then I only cared about GPU OC and decided to not touch anything else in BIOS except DOCP. Now Time Spy gave me very interesting results even back then, to be precise, my graphics score were much lower then others had with same settings on identical system. But my games were running with same performance as others, only 3DMark was fucking with me, so I didn't bother with it. And so we arrived to last weekend, my friend buildt the same system and hit 20k graphic score in Time Spy while my best was 18k AND WE HAD THE SAME OC SETTINGS. So I started to mess with the tuning in Adrenaline but nothing came close to even 18k score. My every day use OC is: Min freq 2500MHz, Max 2600MHz, UV 1050, VRAM fast timing and 2100MHz, power limit 15%. But benchmark was ran with min 500MHz and I simply changed Max to 2650MHz. Now here Time Spy crashed, then after setting UV to the max, which is 1150V, it eventually completed the benchmark, with, you guessed, NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL ! After searching on the internet, some people said on forums that PBO maybe can affect it and that auto PBO is like turning it off. So I set PBO to enabled instead auto. When I went back to run Time Spy once again it just crashed every time !!!!!!! So I reverted the changes I made but it still keeps crashing, actually doesn't matter what changes I make in Adrenaline cuz it crashes every time. Thought I killed Time Spy but reinstall didn't help and other benchmark softwares (Userbenchmark, Cinebench, Heaven, Prime 95-ran it for 7h, Furmark, PCMark, Geekbench) were actually running. After this I ran my PC for over 18h and tested performance in 15 games (ToF, RE4, FH5, Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy, AC Valhalla, Marvel's Spider-man, GI, Last of Us, NFS Unbound, FF XV, Railway Empire 2, Forspoken, Knights of Honor 2, TW Warhammer 3) with max settings at 1440p. Played all game for over a hour and no crashes happened, temps were normal (even junction never above 95 °C), performance excellent and no problem with any other system parts either. So I just want a confirmation basically, that my PC has no stability problems if only problem is with 3DMark TimeSpy? And a question, should I set PBO to auto or enabled? (don't want to do any manual OC with my CPU atm)

Just trying to OC using armory crate as I heard that ai suite 3 is unstable, should I worry about using armory crate or does ai suite work fine? Please help lol

Hi, I recently build a new system which is arranged on my testbench. Now I encountered a Problem with running Cinebench R23. Specs: INTEL i7-13700K (currently stock) - Cooled with NOCTUA NH-D15 (LTT-Edition) ASUS Maximus Z790 CORSAIR Dominator 5600MHz 4x16 GB (XMP1 activ) Testbench PS - EVGA Supernova 750 G2 Testbench GraKa - ASUS Strix 980 I had planned to arrange all on the testbench and do some tweeking before I mount the EK-Maximus Waterblock and integrate it into my existing Loop of my "old" PC, to minimize downtime. Steps planned: Stock benchmark with original CPU mount and NH-D15 - passed Stock benchmark with Thermal Grizzly OC frame and NH-D15 - error (but better temps -4 °C overall) OC with NH-D15 Stock benchmark with Thermal Grizzly OC frame and EK-Maximus-WB (got a portable Loop with 240 rad) OC with EK-Maximus-WB Setting up programs etc. for switching plattform. Switch and fine tune. Somehow I´m stuck at the second step now. Cinebench R23 passes 16 rounds and then I get an Application Error while no OC is activ. The thermals are way better with the Thermal Grizzly OC Frame and don`t hit 100 °C anymore like with the original CPU mount. (Sry for the german sensor names.) Also, I´m confused by the Application Error BugReport, because the mentioned Maxon folder does not exist in AppData (hidden folders are activated). Any suggestions on how to proceed? I´m kind of lost...

Hi, my first post here, i was wondering if my CPU cooler, a Scythe Ninja 5 (I changed the x2 800 RPM stock fans with x2 2400 RPM Fans) was able to cool my i9 9900k if i tried to OC at 5.0 GHz. Thanks for your time people!

I'm currently working with some very obscure and interesting hardware at the moment, long story short this is an ES of a 11980hk on a m-atx board. I'm currently attempting to OC this chip to its limits, but I've hit a bit of a snag in the process and could use a few extra heads to figure it out I'm hitting current limits in windows under all core workloads and the chip is refusing to draw more than 110w, XTU and Throttlestop ICC limits aren't changing anything, package temps under P95 SFFTS don't pass 75c I've been messing around in the bios but I can't seem to find anything referring to current draw and possibly raising it. The bios on this bad boy is definitely dated, but fully functional when it comes to overclocking. Any help is appreciated Board and CPU I'm using for reference: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805120525780.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.54d023e7R6aaQY&algo_pvid=41b6dc3d-7188-4963-9720-0b72da700757&algo_exp_id=41b6dc3d-7188-4963-9720-0b72da700757-0&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000032569592621"}&pdp_npi=3%40dis!USD!388.4!190.32!!!!!%4021021b4716796295270385129d0701!12000032569592621!sea!US!2019284271&curPageLogUid=izXaVx6zvPbc Edit: posting screen of XTU setting under P95 load

Hello I have a issue with of some sort that I can't figure out myself after days of trying, I have the I7 at 4.5ghz and the cpu core voltage at 1.31 v ,if I change it at anything above 4.5 it starts giving me blue screen. Even after trying different voltage from 1.24 to 1.4 It doesn't matter it, I'm staying at a stable temps with max 59c under load. I am using msi z170 sli plus. If anybody can suggest any help I would be thankful.

Hello everyone, My question is pretty straightforward. My current build has a Ryzen 7600 and a Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX rev 1.1. I know the sweet spot for RAM is 6000C30, but they are incredibly expensive in my country right now. I've found a good deal on a Corsair Vengeance kit, with the following part number code: CMK32GX5M2B6000C40 As far as I can tell, this certain kit isn't on the mobo's QVL, but the RGB variant is, which tells me there shouldn't be any issues with it. I know this kit isn't the expo variant, but this would be bought from someone, and not a store, and the discount is too good too pass on. My question is, how easy would it be to get this kit to tighter timings? As far as I can tell, this kit would use Samsung chips, which are lagging behind Hynix ones, but again, I am only interested in getting them as close as possible to 6000C30. Most of the opinions I've read are mainly talking about frequency hence the thread. Thank you so much!

Hi, i have a R5 2400g and i want to overclook it! i have no idea about oc, i have a writhe stealth cooler my motherboard is: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450m Pro4/ I want to oc the cpu&gpu sorry if i post this in the wrong place

Recently i upgraded on low cost PC, by buying xeon 5687 (from i7-920), 16gb RAM(from 8gb) and a cpu's cooler (from intel's stock). After few attemps set OC cpu to 4.2ghz, i decided to increase voltage (apparently increasing voltage can improve stability, which at this cpu any OC make sound stuttering/near collapse). At first i set on 1.5V and tried to run OCCT, but after 2 min i decided to against it, so i reseted pc and decrase to 1.4V (1.35 is maximum for VRM according to intel ark). Overall i abandoned OC since Cpu's tcase was exceeded on OCCT in 3 min, but then a issue happened randomly within 1H there is freeze/hang which stay until hard reset (mouse,keyboard,headphone lost connection to pc). Somehow after restart i didn't get any freeze yet (unless its turned off and left for hour(s)). Now the questions are : -How much "100%" probability its caused by cpu because of being damaged by 0.15 V above? -Is there any program to monitor and save data, to doublecheck if this caused by cpu or maybe RAM? specs: -motherboard : dx58so -ram :pc3l-12800u-11-11-a1 1.35V (old one was KHX1600C9D3K2_4G 1.5V) -cpu : intel xeon 5687 (old one i7-920) -ssd : idk, it's from samsung 250gb from lenovo g50-30 laptop. -cooler : coolermaster hyper t200 (old one Intel E29477-002) -PSU : tagan tg600-u33ii PS. sorry for any grammar mistakes, somehow it does check correctness in different language.

Hello, I recently got a 3070 and I want to undervolt/oc it but i do not know how.. i watch all the tutorials, i still dont understand , and i dont want to do it my self and make mistakes.. if someone is willing to come on discord and help me to do it that would be great, i dont have any friends that know that can help me so here I am, thank you very much, and sorry for the silly question.

I took a look at ryzen master and its Dram overclocking and it looks so complicated, is there a more simple way to get a stable overclock?

When I use ryzenmaster, if I link all cores to the same frequency and run a benchmark, ryzenmaster will show every core at the speed I set it to. But when I try to clock one core to a slightly higher speed, all of the other cores drop back to near stock speed. I've tried using creator mode, and profile 1, how can I set each individual core clock without the other clocks going back down to stock? <---- What I set the clocks To (They stay at all 4625mhz btw) <-----What they go back to

My CPU corevoltage is always way too high. And even when I set it manually onto generous amounts it is unstable with overclocking speeds that should be totally fine. With CPU Voltage on AUTO: - corevoltage goes over 1.46V without overclocking when just opening browsers sometimes --> Fans go to 100% load (because the CPU produces too much heat) With CPU Voltage on Manual: - corevoltage set to 1.38V causes instability on 4.5Ghz OC: e.g. bluescreens (Others run 4.8GHz stable at 1.36V) - corevoltage set to 1.38V causes instability even on 4.4Ghz OC: e.g. screen freezes and I need to hard restart My setup: Z170A Asus motherboard (BIOS Version 3802 (newest Version)) Intel i7 6700K (4GHz base, 4.2GHz boost) 16GB DDR4 RAM (2400MHz) Crucial Ballistix (Dimm slot A2 & B2) GTX 1070 Zotac Samsung 970 Evo M.2 SSD (1TB) 2x 140mm & 2x 120mm case fans I do not understand what the issue is and I read that people were having similar issues with the same motherboard and CPU but I never found out how to solve it... Please help let me know what the Issue could be.. PS 4.4GHz OC with voltage set on AUTO when opening a 2nd browser?!?!? WTH how does it go to 1.456V????:

As my specs below suggest, I have a 5800X, running on an Asrock B550 Pro4. I had clocked in a modest all core OC of about 4200 MHz the day I got the CPU, with voltage set at 1.15V, it was running fine with no hick ups. I was also running the stock XMP profile on the GSKILL Sniper Xs (3600 MHz, 1.35V, 19-20-20-20), no problems there either. Today, I decided to clean my PC. On turning it back on again and going into the BIOS, I find that all my OCs have been reset. No problem, I think, must've unseated my CMOS battery by error or something, so I check to see that it is seated properly, restart again and go into my BIOS again to set the original OCs which I had set. Now this is where the trouble starts. No matter what I do, it won't accept my original OCs, even the XMP profile. In fact no OCs are stable for some reason and the PC just won't post if I dial in something. This is, of course, quite startling, since I have never seen anything like this before in my experience with overclocking stuff. Is the MOBO completely shafted, or something? I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated, cheers.

So i have been looking around the internet for some OC results on the asus strix 3090 OC and the normal asus strix 3090 and couldnt find anything Im looking to upgrade my PC and was thinking of buying a asus strix 3090 OC but a friend of mine told me that you can get better overclocking results out of a normal asus strix 3090 which seems odd to me Does anybody here have some overclocking results from a normal asus strix 3090 vs a OC version? Isnt the OC version a kind of "binned" version of the normal version and therefor should be able to get better overclocking results out of the OC version vs the normal version?

Hello everyone After some thought I found that this could be the right place to ask. I yet never had problems with my performance until I bought my new Monitor. I upgraded from 16:9 20" 1080p to 32:9 49" 1440p. I expected my GPU to limit me but not that hard. This way I remembered why I bought an OC GPU and CPU and started to tinker around. By now I found some stable values but I am not fully sure If it is okay to use this as an everyday profile. My settings: GPU: Asus Strix GTX970 It never gets over 74°C even after an hour of stresstesting. I think these are pretty safe? CPU: Intel I7 4790K (normally at 4GHz, Boost 4.4GHZ) I have set the values in the BIOS but the AI Suite picked them up. (All cores are the same) If you wonder about the Values shown at the bottom, speedstepping and turbo is still enabled as I don't think it has to heat the Room unnecessary and may shorten the lifespan less. The Voltage under load shows about 1.296V with short spikes up to 1.301V. Whilst stresstesting the temperatures are varying between 70°C and 85°C. Averaging at around 74°C. 85°C Are often just while fans are ramping up afterwards 80°C seems to be the maximum hit after an hour. Do the temps always vary so much during stresstesting or is my cooling setup a bit sketchy? I think my 800W powersupply should be able to deliver without problems and it also did not seem to limit whilst I stresstested GPU and CPU for an hour simultaniously. What do you think about these settings? Is this acceptable (for the next years)? I think I will replace the GPU with a 3070 or a 4060 as soon as they are available for a relatable price. If there is anything left I forgot, tell me! :) Thank you all very much beforehand and enjoy the day! Greetings from Switzerland, Ale.
