Hi! I got a video recommenden on youtube about overclocking a monitor. And i tought if its possible to overclock the asus 360hz monitor,but I didn't find anything about it. So should I overclock it(eif possibl) and to wich extend

Hi i am wondering if 66C is okay for my used 1650 gpu. Because i am planing to mine on it 24/7 and i dont want it to catch fire when i am sleeping.

BIG BUG WHAT DO I DO HOW DO I FIX do i have the wrong driver picked i really need my gpu power an fan control im currently using custom kernel 5.13.18-xanmod1 update after reboot this is now the state of thing still no fix please help id like the cool bit 8 to work an greenwithenvy to as well for my gpu power an fan control

Hello guys! Before a week i bought 2 RX580 8GB. They were mining but still have 6 months warranty left. So one of the cards is MSI RX 580 8GB GAMING and the other is SAPHIRE NITRO + RX 580 8GB.The MSI booted from the first time i tested it in heavenbenchmark and furmark good temps no problems, but when i try to use it in nicehash for mining the screen flickers and amd drivers message shows the pc shutdowns sometimes too. In compute mode i had problems too with fragments so switched back to graphics mode. Tried different drivers still no luck the guy that sold it said that the bios wasnt modded and i checked and i think its the same that i found in techpower. Still dont know what to do with this card. So the Sapphire didn't boot on the same computer i mean the pc gave beep code and the card fans were spinning but no image either from hdmi or displayport and other. Took the sapphire to my newer pc and booted fine. But when i installed drivers and run furmark it shut down and now the 2 computers wont boot with the sapphire unless the card isnt with plugged in pcie cables, i dont know how but i maybe broke it. The first psu is seasonic 850w gold and the second is seasonic 550w gold so i dont think it has anything with the psus.Also there is clicking noise trying to boot with the pcie cables in the gpu(sapphire card) . Maybe its time to rma these gpus or give then back to the guy that sold them to me because i had many nvidia mining cards never had problems like that before, and my head now hurts.

Should I overclock my RAM? I am at 3200mhz for my 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM. I want to overclock it to like 3266mhz, or something slightly higher than the stock speed. I feel like it’ll make my PC unstable, but I have a 5900x, RTX 3060 Ti LHR, and a lot of cooling, so should I do it?

Hi LTT community! I’m currently looking to purchase a 1660 super or ti to use in mining for an old pc using Nicehash. My main question is what does OC edition mean for a GPU, and why is it significantly less expensive than the normal super or ti version? As a new person to the PC community, in terms of buying equipment, I am wondering is it worth it for me to buy this edition. Also, I would like to buy one of these cards at MSRP, and I noticed that BestBuy sells it at MSRP, but is always out of stock, which is no surprise. Is it possible to buy this at MSRP from this retailer, and if so, which methods should it take? Other retailers? Thank you for reading, WetSock

Iam planning to buy Gigabyte Z690 UD ddr4 mobo(with 12400f, for gaming+mining, i choose this card due to pcie ports. But i heard Gigabyte mobo are not good at bios and other stuff. Can you guys help me with it? Link: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z690-UD-DDR4-rev-10#kf

g day people, i´ve got a quick question. Just upgrade my cpu from an ryzen5 3600 to ryzen 7 5800x. Running perfectly on my msi x570 mobo. Now I was trying to boost my cpu performance without actually manual overclocking, leaving it to mobo an cpu itself. Went into Bios, allowing AMD OC Profils and AMDs PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive). To compare results I ran cinebench R23 (multi core - 15 minutes) before and after changing Bios settings, along HWmonitor for clock speeds, power draw, temperature etc Result: PBO off, Mobo Game Boost off ------ the CPU was running at 80 degree with an all core boost frequency of 4.445 ghz ++++++ Power draw of 137W ++++++ Cinebench score 15 249 PBO on, Mobo Game Boost off ------ the CPU ran at 72 degree with same all core boost frequency of 4.445 ghz; Power draw of 114W ++++++ Cinebench score 15 131 PBO off, Mobo Game Boost on------- the CPU locked all core boost frequency at 4.125 ghz with temperatures running up to 85 degree, Power draw of 114W ++++++ Cinebench score 14 675 Question: How come "PBO on" reduces temperatures and power draw so much with all core boost frequency the same then without? Are there any other ways of pushing CPU without manual overclock? Thanks for the help up front. little something to my rig: msi x570 mobo (latest bios installed) ryzen 5800x CPU cooling: bequiet Dark rock 4 32gb corsair lpx 3200mhz

So i read a lot and researched this, but i still dont understand half of this stuff… after many tries and followoing a probably outdated guide as precise as possible … i "kinda" got it to work , but only kinda, as i knew voltage was a bit high, probably? The main problem im having seems that i think i have to check what the chip draws under load, and then use that as a base for my overclock… and thats the problem its drawing 1.4v easily… and low and behold above 1.4 was when it finally booted into windows … but thats way too much voltage? And since it then repeatedly crashed in cinebench id probably have to put even more, 1.45v??? That makes no sense… (imo) All relevant settings: So i dont think this is going to work, i could try 4.0 maybe, but thats less than what it boosts to most of the time with PBO anyways, so seems pointless. Its just not a good chip for overclocking i guess? Or im missing something crucial … not sure how high or low i should go with LLC, I also havent touched SOC at all (maybe its that?)

I have an MSi X570 A Pro motherboard and I tried overclocking my Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz RAM timings with the Ryzen calculator. And so after every single attempt failed with even the smallest changes I decided to use the preset overclocks and shoot for 3600 Mhz as I was rather annoyed. First try I tried using the medium tight timings, didn't work. So second try I went for the lowest preset timings, meaning the highest numbers for the 3600Mhz preset, and then I went out of the room for a minute expecting it to go through it's now regular, off, on, sudden off, then on, then black screen, then waiting for a bit, and finally "Memory overclock failed. Press F1 for bios" type of thing... but no. It just stayed in the turned on but not posting stage. So I turned it off, tried again, same thing. *ok* ... So I turned off the PSU, held the power button to clear the CMOS, started the computer and now the power light isn't on, the motherboard fan is maxed out, and the CPU debug light is on, and all of that keeps going until I shut it off... so, did I screw myself over super hard because I wanted to squeeze just a little more performance?

Hi i tried to overclock my PC. Original Specs : CPU : Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 Ghz. Memory : Cruical Ballistix DDR4 2666 Mhz CL 16. ( Probably Micron E Die. Pls Correct me if i am wrong ) GPU : Zotac 1650 Super -> 1530 Mhz Core, 6000 Mhz Memory. Motherboard : Gigabyte B550m DS3H. Cooler : Deepcool Gammax 400 Pro -> Single Tower, Dual 120mm Fans Air cooler. Overclocked Specs : CPU : Ryzen 5 3600 -> 4.35 Ghz All Cores @1.26v VCore and 1.14v SoC. Idles at 45°C and reaches 83°C when stressed to 75W TDP. Memory : 3200 Mhz CL 16-18-18-18-40 1T @ 1.35v GPU : 1725 Mhz Core, 7500 Mhz Memory. Question : Are my voltages safe? Can anybody suggest how to improve on it? Can voltages on RAM be increased more? If yes, pls suggest SoC voltages for it. Thanks in Advance!!

I have a gigabyte b550m s2h it has 5 phrase for vcore . for the highe site it has 4c10n and for the lower site it is using two 4c06n in paralal ... so it should probably handle a 8 core processor very easily .... my quistion is can I overclock a 5800x extreeeeeeeeamly for 24 hrs a day on this motherboard ??? I'm concerned about the vrm heatsink

Hi everyone I have a hard time finding a concrete answer to the above (title) question. Yes, I know a too high VCORE is not good, and if it's manual (static), then it's even worse (than if it's peaks voltages). After delidding my 8700K some time back, I then decided a week ago to try 4.7GHz ALL CORE on my current 0.095mV -Offset undervolt and everything is stable and my temps peaks at 77c on some cores after a heavy game session. I know this is already perfectly fine (temp wise) but I see VCORE peaks at 1.375-ish and I feel like my 8700K can do better than that. My guess is that 1.3V would be enough for 4.7GHz ALL CORE. I know my 8700K isn't a silicon lottery winner but I feel like 1.3V still would be enough for 4.7GHz ALL CORE with my 8700K. So now to the actual question: Does a manual (static) VCORE hurt the CPU in the long run? Would 1.3V manual VCORE kill my 8700K? (I know that no one knows the future, but what would you "guess") I have for a long time used -Offset undervolt, because it still keeps the voltages at auto - which lets it fluctuate and go down while idle - but it still peaks pretty high. Now, I have heard a lot of people talk about using LLC and so on and I have never really understood it properly, also the thing with disabling SVID support but that always made my system incredibly unstable. What has worked before was manual (static) VCORE and -Offset, and these I understand 100%. So yeah, sure, I could just try the manual (static) VCORE right now and so on but I fear that it might be bad in the long run - and it's hard to find a concrete answer to this. I'm thinking about VCORE up to 1.35V at max. Thank you to anyone who uses their time to read my post and so on

Alright, so I am SUPER confused on this, hehe get it - But in actuality, I can't figure out if my GPU is bad, My MOBO is Bad, if it's Undervolted (which it doesn't seem to be) if it's not OC'd right, or if It's just the game being... well, itself - I've done a LOT of Trouble Shooting, and I am at my wits end. I have a RTX 2080 Super, factory OC'd of course, from Alienware, (Yeah, yeah, prebuilts are overpriced an bad) and it happens a lot in applications and games, primarily games, but I noticed there's a DISTINCT flicker, since day 1, I don't think I have any Bottlenecks that would cause it to bug out like it is, Currently, I have a i9-10850K w/ an Corsair H60 Waterblock (OC Profile 2 for Alienware and Thermal Grizzly for Paste), with HyperX Fury RAM @ (That should run @) 3200MHz XMP Profile 2 (it's actually running @ 3192 MHz tCL 20 which it was 15 when I first bought it), 2 Samsung 850 Evo's SATA and a Western Digital 1TB @ 7200 RPM 64MB Cache (WDC WD10EZEX-75WN4A1) and as for my Main Drive, that would be a Samsung 980 NVMe 1TB, PSU is from Dell, @ 1000W, The MOBO is from Alienware, specific IPCML-SH Model, Z490 Chipset. The trouble shooting steps I have took has been. • Restarting the PC • Reinstalling NVIDA Drivers (default install) • Reinstalling NVIDIA Drivers (clean reinstall) • Reinstalling NVIDIA Drivers manually after using DDU in Safe Mode • Reinstalling/Reseating the card • Reseating the card multiple times • Trying different power cables • Trying the 2nd PCIe 16x slot w/ different cables • Reinstalling Windows 100% Fresh w/ New Drive • Configuring NVIDIA Settings + Game Settings I have not tried inserting it into a second Desktop yet, that would be an older model Alienware, an Alienware R6, and that's because I noticed if I UNDER Clock it using MSI Afterburner (Cause Alienware Command Center and it's OC Abilities are a joke and have broke almost 99.9% of the time I have EVER used it) - it would run just fine, I have to Underclock it by almost -300 which would set Core Clock to 1500MHz, WAY under base clock @ 1650MHz, and then it seems to stabilize, it happens in more than 1 game, and even on my Web Browser at times if I Alt-Tab while running anything GPU Intense, I have heard that it is an issue with specific games not being able to handle the hardware... but it does it outside of game too at times.

Hello my english bad sorry how can i overclock my rams? XPG Gammix D30 i add taiphoon burner screenshot please help me

Hey, It's been 20+ years since I last build and used a desktop so rusty AF. Regardless I'd like to get every bit of performance out of the CPU. i9-11900K Gigabyte Vision D Z590 Rev 0.0 Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision G. Skill F4-3600C14Q-32GTZNA 1.45v Corsair H150i Capellix 360mm AIO Corsair RM850x PSU That's about covers the important tidbits, but now what? Anyone with this board and/or CPU that did some OC? Going to need a step by step guide. So hopefully there are people that actually want to help as I want to give it my all but have to start all over since it's been too long. No memory and GPU oc, only the CPU. Regards,

Hi All, I finally decided to take the leap into overclocking today, and it hasn’t gone well to say the least. I used 1usmus’ DRAM calculator to come up with some RAM timings and voltages. Unfortunately, after plugging these into my BIOS, my system got stuck on the MOBO logo screen and failed to progress to booting. To fix the issue, I force powered off the system by holding the power button, unplugged it, and cleared the CMOS by jumping the clear CMOS pins. I was able to get back into BIOS and revert my changes. On my next attempt, I adjusted some timings and upped the SOC voltage to 1.1V. This time, on powering up, my system did not output any video signal and did not reach the MOBO logo screen. I noticed a small amber light on the MOBO, which I assumed was indicating another RAM issue. Planning to try again, I powered off the system and re-jumped the clear CMOS pins. This time though, the system did not reboot, and I still receive no video output from my graphics card. The RAM and graphics card light up normally and the fans spin. There is no amber light on the MOBO. This is where things get more weird. Oddly, when I tried to force power off the system by holding the power button, the system does not shut off. Instead the power button starts flashing until I release it. The system will only power off when I switch off the PSU or pull the plug out of the wall. I’ve tried cleaning the CMOS several times now, to no avail. I’ve also reseated the RAM and attempted to boot with only one stick. Does anyone have experience with something like this? I’m fairly sure the CMOS clearing is not the issue, given that it worked the first time. Could there be damage to the system hardware? How might I go about determining if that’s the case?

I've read that it works with 3200 ones, is there a way to make it run with 3600 no problem?

Anyone have a guide to overclocking/downclocking a ryzen 7 1700 non x that i could use?

Hi fellow OC enthusiasts, I am currently fiddling around with overclocking my hardware for the first time, so I am a bit of a newbie. I generally tend to inform myself as much as possible and I am quite careful so I don't take unnecessary risks. However, now I apparently have run into something where I can't find an answer that I understand. Software I use: MSI Afterburner CPU-Z GPU-Z Valley Benchmark HWInfo64 I have OC'd both my CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 1600x) and my GPU (Gainward GTX 1070) and I'm also running a Memory Try It! preset for my RAM. For more information regarding my specs, please see my signature. If you need more info regarding my overclocks, please let me know. My CPU is running at a stable 3900 MHz with a voltage of 1.375, tested with Ryzen Master and made permanent through my BIOS. My GPU has so far been running at a stable +130 MHz Core Clock and +620 MHz Memory Clock. Now I was curious about what else I can do if I adjust the GPU voltage. From what I have read there is a hard limit set by Nvidia, but there still seems to be some potential that I could use. I've found a guide that recommended to first set a fix voltage. I can post a link if that's okay, but basically what he says is I have locked my GPU to a constant voltage of 1000 mV (which is lower than what it would usually reach). I have then set Temp and Power limits to their max values (92c and 112%). When increasing the memory clock to 650 MHz I am beginning to see "stars" when running Valley, so I am sticking to 620 MHz. However, I can boost the core clock far higher than before it seems. Temps stick to a maximum of 79c even with +160 MHz core clock, however Valley benchmark scores don't improve beyond the margin of error. At a +140 MHz I had a Min FPS of 33 instead of the normal 22, so I assume that this is a core clock at which games perform a little more stable, I am yet to test in an actual game though. Any other boost has given me 22 Min FPS again. I haven't tested higher boosts yet as I am unsure if they currently have any effect at all and if they might cause issues when unlocking the voltage again. What made me curious is the fact that despite a higher core clock there seems to be no improvement in performance, no increase in temperature and what makes me wonder the most is that GPU-Z now only shows "Idle" as the PerfCap Reason when it had shown "Pwr" and/or "vRel" before. If it would show these reasons again that'd make sense to me, but "Idle"?. This makes me think that locking my GPU voltage had no effect or at least doesn't let the GPU reach a higher level of performance now. Since the whole voltage-thing still is quite blurry to me anyway, I am now looking for advice. Again, I wasn't able to find anything that I actually understand when doing my research. There seems to be people benefiting from undervolting as it decreases the temps and therefore lets the core boost to a higher clock, then again overvolting seems to be better for others as it increases the amount of power the core can draw in oder to boost its frequencies. But what would I have to do to find the sweet spot for my GPU? I am not afraid to test a few things out, I just don't know where or how to start. Thanks for your time.

Hi guys. I'm currently modding one of my old cards (r7 370X) and there is some weird power plain and power distribution. I don't want to overload my PCI power (I found moded bios where are all limits disabled) and when I measured PCI power it was pulling 110W. So I want to solder wire (+12V) from 8 pin to the PCI power. I don't think it should short anything, but to be sure I'm asking if it would be problem. Because I don't want to short my PSU rails. In the past I just cut the lines from pci power and soldered wire from 6 pin to pci on my 1650S. I don't want to do this here. So what's your opinion

I just want to know if overclocking ram with different speed will work. For example my mobo has 4 ram slot, slot 1 and 3 is using a corsair 16Gb 3200Mhz ram and the other 2 and 4 use a 16Gb 2666Mhz ram sticks. So what happen if i overclock it, will it work or what will happend to it? is it possible to do this?
