So I have a GTX 960 and I plan on buying a 1060 but I wanted to see what performance I could kick out of it first. I managed to overclock it about 300ghz before it degraded performance. As of right now we are near 180 since I nearly killed it going too far. How far have other people gotten with it and what FPS increases have you seen? I use the Evga Precision X from steam to OC. Give me the maximum OC you managed to get while performance being consistent. Other Info: Intel Core I7-4790k 16gb DDR3 We are dealing with an Alienware so motherboard shouldn't matter

My Gigabyte Gtx 950 oc out of box edition (single fan) reaches to temperature of 80C and stays there for games like Bf3 ultra settings and Nfs 2016 high settings and 70C for slightly older titles like Cod mw 3 all at 1080p. Temps makes me little concern as I play for 4 hrs when I do. Are there safe temps or should I under clock my Gpu? How I mean I use MSI Afterburner so should I crank down core clock and power limit? Thanks

Hello guys, So my system is like this Motherboard: Giga Z87X-UD3H Core i7-4770 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-16000 PSU Corsair RM850 1 Gigabyte nVidia GTX 660 (2GB) ---> plug into 1st screen via HDMI and 2nd screen via HDMI 1 MSI AMD R9 390x (8GB) ------------> plug into 2nd screen DVI (for a dummy plug) I am using this set up to mine ethereum as well as to play game. The 390x run 24/7 mining ethereum, the 660 sometime for gaming, sometime for mining. So, mining and gaming work 100% fine, meaning drivers are okay (I guess). The problem is: I have to plug the one of the screens into the 390x via DVI, using it as a dummy. if not, MSI afterburner will not apply the OC profile to this card. I have tried checking and unchecking the "Synchronize setting for similar cards". Both don't do a thing. Please help me brothers

So i just built a PC for a friend, (specs: 6600k, msi 1070, 850w xfx power supply, h115i, NZXT S340) I late overclocked his CPU for him. I noticed in the Voltage was REALLY low (1,15V), i set the Voltage Control to auto, Program to read the voltage is CoreTemp. At Stock speeds the voltage was at 1,12V, but after 4GHz the voltage doesn't rise anymore, (locked at 1,1495, and only sometimes jumps to 1,1497). The Temperature is pretty stable until 4,4Ghz and rises just a bit on higher clockspeeds (around 55°C at 4,4 Ghz), but suddenly the after 4,4 Ghz the Temperature rises massively (on 4,5Ghz, 70°C). Stresstest is Prime 95, Voltage is still at 1,1495V, Aida 64 System Stability Test ran on 4,4 Ghz from 20:30 until 3:15 straight, so no stability issues. So my 2 questions are now: 1. Isn't that voltage incredibly low? Is it possible Coretemp reads them wrong or something (it reads them in realtime)? How is it that the Temperature rises over 15°C with just 0,1 Ghz, but rises only around 10°C for 0,9Ghz?

So far ive had my RX480 running undervolted at 1340. 1340 was the old overclock limit i got to at and undervolt of 1.018v. Recently the 16.9.2[1 my mistake] driver came out so i was like lets try overclocking yolo? Running Unigene valley as my stress test i was able to hit 1440 and while watching HWmonitor i saw it was hitting 1.2v averaging around 1.18v although its only set to 1.15 in wattman. At these voltages i was averaging around 80c hitting 90c only at the beginning when the fan didn't ramp up yet My scores would are pathetic cause of my cpu bottleneck but i was able to get 5fps over the old 1340 undervolt clock. I hope AMD lets us set our voltage higher, im thinking of getting a AIO watercooler for it. Let me know what you guys think and try overclocking your 480 again. 3D mark time spy got a score of 4456, and my cpu bottlenecks valley but i got an extra 5fps over 1340mhz.

Hey everybody, I wonder if anybody experienced the same thing before as I did last night FYI: 4790k and GTX 970 G1 I was toying with MSI Afterburner and furmark. With default settings, I believe furmark was running around 70-90 FPS; not 100% but I'm pretty sure it was. After toying with MSI AB, I got furmark to "crash" two or three times due to too high of an OC (I think it was +160 at the core and +550 memory -- also linked power and temp, with temp prioritized at 90 degrees and power at like 110%).. After rebooting AB about two-three times, I brought settings down to the point where I was getting 108 FPS and GPU temps rose to about 72 degrees before the end of the 1080p stress test (which is short, couple mins maybe?)... Froze again Ok, reboot AB last time, dropped settings down slightly more (like +150 and +500).. Here's the thing, I was at +155 core and +500 memory when I hit 108 FPS (pretty sure it was that OC)... All of a sudden, during a new 1080p test, temps rose to almost 60 degrees and they dropped down to 46 degrees and the FPS stayed constant around 51-55 FPS!!!! WTF??? I'm not sure if anybody has experienced this before, but my guess is one or more of the following: 1) MSI Afterburner might not be working right? Maybe I need to again use a different tool like OC guru or EVGA precision X which I also have and need to test with [both tools] 2) Maybe the GPU is locking up after realizing a bad clock and keeping the settings low? like a preventative measure? 3) Perhaps there's an issue with the Nvidia Driver installed? I have version 362.00 installed and so far it's been stable (also noted as a stable driver in forums, right?), maybe not OC friendly? 4) When too high of an OC is noticed, perhaps I should reboot my PC and start fresh each time? What do you guys think?

Hello everyone, currently my 6600k is OCed to 4.4ghz@1.345 Vcore(bios)/1.36 volt(CPU-Z). Stable at about 70C max temp during Realbench test. I then switched to adaptive mode with offsetting voltage at auto. I am sticking with this OC for a while but I've read some comment online that Vcore should stay below 1.35 volt for daily use and to perverse CPU life span. Is this true in the long run? I use my computer 2-4 hours a day, mainly gaming. alternatively I can dial back to 4.3ghz@1.31 volts(bios). Stable as well. Sorry for the long question and thanks in advance for your inputs. Appreciated. Ray

I tried to use other settings, still the same thing. It can't overclock more than 2700 or else I get an error message on the start and everything gets restored back to default 2133mhz. What could I do? My motherboard is msi z170m mortar and ram are http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220977 How to update bios for my motherboard if I don't hace CD rom? As it looks to me that the version i currently have is outdated (compare https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170M-MORTAR.html#down-bios and the snapshot ). Any help will be appreciated!

First the rig I overclocked with: AMD FX-8350 BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3 Corsair VS 650 (I know I have to replace it asap) Corsair Carbide 200r I know this rig is far from perfect for it's price, so don't tell my what I should have bought instead, please So I overclocked my FX-8350 for the first time today and I was wondering about a thing: Is it normal that the clock goes down for a short moment when using prime95? (eg. from 4.5 ghz to 1.6 ghz) And if not: It it that bad?

Hey I'm having some issues with MSI Afterburner and AMD Overdrive. So before AMD Crimson came along, I used MSI Afterburner to OC my card. Here is some quick information: Mobo: ASRock 990FX Killer CPU: FX-6350 @ 4.7Ghz PSU: Sentey MBP750-HM 750w GPU: MSI R9 380 GAMING 4GB GPU2: NVIDIA GT 730 (disabled in device manager) (use it for DIRECTV 2 PC because it's the only card that I have that features screen capture protection) Im running the latest AMD drivers as of this post. The stock speed for the card is 980Mhz and while using Afterburner, I would be able to get a stable OC of 1142Mhz with the Voltage slider set to the max. Once AMD Crimson came out and the driver installed on my PC, I probably (can't remember) navigated to the Global Overdrive panel under Gaming => Global Settings => Global Overdrive, and accepted the liability statement from AMD. If I use Afterburner now with the same settings, the core clock will flux between ~800Mhz and 950Mhz. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and settings in hopes that it would cause the liability statement to pop up again, in which case I would decline it to keep Overdrive off, but sadly this was not the case. I'm able to achieve an OC of 1141Mhz in Overdrive, but it is very unstable in certain games (but not all) that were fine before). I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas as to why this might be happening. Took me a while to address this issue.

Tldr: only able to get 6700k @4.7ghz stable @1.48v leaving me with 20celius temp headroom when under stress testing etc or in very cpu intensive games. With my ram at 3200Mhz xmp. …...……… My cooler currently is a Corsair gtx h100i with 2 sp120 fans running on a fan curve that's only really aggressive when I hit 80c. My question is this. Do I upgrade to a different Aio? Or go custom loop ? Or God forbid aircooling if that runs better temps. Advice would be great.

Hey all! I pulled the plug on GPU upgrade and went from EVGA 970 to EVGA 1070. Exciting stuff! I did some testings in Witcher 3 and Rainbow Six Siege and everything looked okay, BUT..... I got some very noticeable drops in Witcher 3 city areas (Novigrad, main squaire). I ran the game at 1080p, hairworks on (0x AA), maxed. Frames jumped around pretty badly, from 45 to 65 in that one area. Walking around countryside I got 70-80fps on same settings so I was happy about that. I asked a friend of mine about what might be causing these drops and he made a very good suggestion: Check CPU usage. So I did. My usage jumped around 90-100% most of the time. I have a habit of keeping a lot of background programs open, my CPU idling around 20% so I closed some of em up and tested again, and sure enough, I got some extra frames, now keeping mostly in 50's. So of course, now I want it to go faster. Now the problem is, I haven't made anything go fast ever before. I know internet is FULL of OC guides and such, but I noticed something interesting while looking at my BIOS: OC Tuner "Sweet, an auto OC tool !" And then I found a whole lot of nothing about how to use it on internet. I have always found the descriptions of stuff in BIOS very cryptic. The tool had 3 options: As is, Ratio first & BCLK first. I have no idea what each of these do (I guess As is the default one as it was selected). I found people saying good and bad things about this tool. Some say its okay, some say to do it manually. I'm not looking for that ultimate 100% performance OC. I just want that extra kick to get few more frames with stable settings. So what i'm asking here: How do I use this tool, what do these settings mean, and is this a good idea for first time OC'er? Of course, specs bellow: Asus Z87-K EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Intel i5-4670K 3.40GHz (CPU cooler which model I forget, but I assure you its very big and bulky and stuff) Kingston 8GB DDR3 RAM Samsung 850 EVO 240Gb SSD Windows 10 64bit Western Digital Blue 1TB HDD Seasonic S12 II 520W BRONZE

I have overclocked my GTX 1070 Armor with MSI Afterburner without using any additional Core Voltage. My current stable OC stats are +150 Core Clock and +625 Memory Clock, Power Limit is set to max. I tried out these clocks with Valley Benchmark until I was satisfied with the performance and stabillity. Problem is, when I tried clocking the Core Clock further by increasing "Core Voltage" nothing changes, the textures are still bad in Valley at the same certain clock, as are the crashes just like before. Did I reach my maximum clock potential? Feels like I should be able to add a higher clock to the Core at least. Also, is it negative in any way to clock the Memory as high as I have?

I was wondering what the use is to buy factory OC's cards. With GPU boost we always get higher clock speeds than advertised, so I dont think those numbers matter that much. The only thing I can think of is the binning of GPU's, and you get a better sample. (So for example, why would I buy an SSC instead of a SC if they use the same cooler, powerfases ect. ?)

Do I need better ram for BCLK increase?
BlueBreezer posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I have a gigabyte z170x ud3 mobo with 2133Mhz DDR4 ram installed. I read that you could overclock non-k processors like the i5-6400 by increasing the base clock. Do I need higher freq ram to do this? -
Hey-a I have recently take notice on my CPU with the recent GPU I made. So the source of my worries is the lower FPS i'm getting at Witcher 3 when comparing to my friends build which is also running identical GPU, but the CPU in question is i7-3770K. Game is set on Ultra I average about 60-85Fps, dropping to 50's in most demanding area of the game. CPU usage 100% almost the whole time He gets around 100Fps, never dropping under 60fps. CPU usage 60%-80% Also, when testing around with Battlefield 1 Beta (I know, not something I should put too much trust into), I get drops to around 45fps now and then. Rest of the time 70-90fps (100+ if looking at a desert) Also 100% usage the whole time. Is such high CPU usage normal? Going forwards, is the time of i5's as "good enuff" for gaming over?

I know this is going to sound weird but how do you overclock your laptop monitor refresh rate (mine is 60Hz default). My friend was talking about his being 81hz. Thanks.

HELP! My cpu won't stop throttling... I have a fx-6300 OC'ed at 4.5 ghz... The problem is, it won't stop throttling... It keeps going down to 1400 mhz every 30 seconds... I have check powermanagenemt to make sure that isn't the problem... And I have turned off both AMD cool'n'quiet and cou smart protection in the BIOS, but it stills keep throttling... My temps are fine btw, never over 60 (it was running at 70+ with the standard cooler and stock speed before I started overclocking (using an evo-cooler). HELP! It's messing up my aim in csgo:( cpu-volt: 1.41 mortherboard: MSI: 970A-G43

As the title states I am installing an aftermarket cooler to my RX 480. Ive been (for the first time) fiddling with OC'ing and the loud fans and inadequate temperatures really bothered me. I saw this fan bring down max's by 20C and being deathly silent I was wandering if there is anything I can do to prepare for it this weekend (already have the Accelero). I just want to be very careful because I dont want to kill my GPU. Anyways, back to the point of the post, is there anything special about the card that varies from the directions, and how accurate are the directions? PS: Does this void XFX's warranty if I'm in the US?

Hi, does anyone know what's the difference between ASUS' STRIX lineup's differences? We have available: The Standard STRIX STRIX Advanced Gaming OC Edition Also which one should I choose? There's 50 euro difference between the standard STRIX and OC Edition.

I just started using my new Asus Strix GTX 1070 non-OC card and saw that the card boosts past 1900 MHz on its own with no overclock applied. Since this is common for Pascal cards, why would anyone pay more for a factory OC? When I was choosing which card to buy, I was torn between the EVGA 1070 FTW and the Asus Strix (OC version). After I stumbled across the non-OC strix, which was 40$ CAD less than its OC'd counterpart, I quickly snatched it up. It's identical in every was to the OC version of the card except for core clocks. OC Strix "O8G": Core 1632 MHz, Boost 1835 MHz. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126109&cm_re=gtx_1070-_-14-126-109-_-Product Non-OC Strix "8G": Core 1506 MHz, Boost 1683 MHz http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126111&cm_re=gtx_1070-_-14-126-111-_-Product With my card boosting to 1900+ MHz (Most I've seen so far was 1946 Mhz), why would anybody pay more for a factory OC? Do the factory OC ones boost even further? If they don't its really stupid...

Guys I'm planning to buy GTX 950 from Asus. In India the price difference between OC vs non OC is around 2000 INR (I'm on a bit tight budget). I wanted to know how much of difference will it make on game performance as I won't be able to overclock the non OC version as it does not have external 6 or 8 pin power connector.
