I've been playing helldivers 2 lately but im noticing that my i7/13700f is running 100% 3-4 ghz when it normally runs 40% 5 ghz. This is causing my 4070 to bottleneck when in game and it only happens in helldivers 2. This screenshot is when im idle but sometimes my gpu sits at 60-70% and i cant do anything about it. Any tips?

My friend recently build an intel i5 13500 and i was surprised by the memory speed, as stated in intel ark web for i5 13500 it says memory frequency is up to 4800mhz for DDR5, yet my friend can run his memory on 5600mhz like in this screenshoot from cpu z, isnt non intel k processor cant overclock memory? or i didnt know something new? intel ark web for 13500: https://www.intel.co.id/content/www/id/id/products/sku/230580/intel-core-i513500-processor-24m-cache-up-to-4-80-ghz/specifications.html Spec: i5 13500 Asrock B760M PG Riptide Gskill Flare X5 32gb dual kit 5600

Hii I'm using asus rog strix g512li.. My CPU frequency is stuck at 788Mhz, I have no overheating issues with my laptop and apart from that I have actually cleaned it again but sadly I am not seeing any change. My laptop is mostly on turbo mode but the CPU frequency is just 788Mhz doesn't matter what I do like Games Or any software..it doesn't increase a bit until I restart it 2-3 times for few seconds. Is there any solution for this

Hi everyone! So, a few days ago I built a new PC and my problem is that my CPU frequency is always at 5.3-5.4 Ghz. I tried to switch power modes in windows but it was in balanced, I tried to change the BIOS settings but nothing seemed to work. The only time i could change the frequency is when i turned off turbo mode in the BIOS, after that the CPU frequency was locked at the base 3.4 Ghz. But when I did this i constantly got BSODs. Both NZXT CAM (I know it's not the best), and CPU-Z shows the same data. The task manager gives me 4.5-ish scores but i guess that's because of the lower frequency efficient cores. I also updated the BIOS, Intel ME, Windows and every single driver i could find, but nothing seems to help at all and I'm out of ideas, Here's all my specs: Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z790-A Gaming Wifi D4 CPU: Intel Core I7-13700K GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengance DDR4 3600Mhz Main Drive: Kingston KC3000 1TB m.2 pcie 4.0 CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X63 PSU: Asus ROG STRIX 850w white Case: NZXT H7 Elite Thanks for the help!

Hi, I've built new PC recently and everything was fine, had 2 sticks of HyperX predator RGB 8GB (2x8) and it was running at 3200MHz normally. Then I decided to buy 2 more and when installed weird things starts to happen. Currently I've dual boot for windows 10 and ubuntu 20.04, when running first profile on XMP (or D.O.C.P on AMD) that sets my ram to 3200MHz 16-18-18 sometimes ubuntu just freezes and then I need to manually restart it, also windows somethimes doesn't even boot. Everything works fine at 3000MHz 16-17-17. I've even ran memtest86 and everything was fine for every single ram and for all them together, just setting them to 3200MHz make problems. Probably good to notice that I've bought 2x8GB from one shop and then week later bought 2x8GB from other one. I've checked DRAM manufacturers and 2 of them are from Kingston and second half of them are from SK Hynix. Everything except DRAM manufacturers (and serial numbers of course) is the same. Could the manufacturers difference be the problem with setting them all to given frequency? My build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Czarny 120mm Motherboard: Asus TUF B450-PLUS GAMING ATX AM4 Memory: 4x8GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4-3200 CL16 Storage: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB M.2 Graphic card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 12GB PSU: SilentiumPC Supremo M2 550W 80 Plus Gold Case: SilentiumPC Regnum RG6V EVO TG ARGB

Full specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 3500 GPU: Sapphire RX 480 8gb RAM: 2x8gb @ 2400 MOBO: Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 BIOS VERSION: f50a PSU: Thermaltake TR2 500w TL;DR: After BIOS update, changing the CPU multiplier beyond 38 gives a "BIOS Failure detected" error on POST. CPU Boosts to 4.1 Ghz on stock settings. I LIKE TO READ VERSION: So, more detail to the story: I used to have a Ryzen 1400 working flawlessly at an OC of around 3.8Ghz? or something like that. Around 8 months ago I upgraded to my current CPU, a 3500, and because it was a 1st gen mobo I had to do the incremental updates to the BIOS: F31 -> F40. After updating and installing the CPU, I carry on with life as normal with one annoying detail, the PC always takes like 30 seconds BEFORE POST, but then it turns on normally and everything seems to be correct. I can't always check the BIOS as I don't have a PS2 keyboard and have to borrow one, but over these months, every time I got into the BIOS it prompted me with that "BIOS has been reset, adjust values and save" or something like that, basically what it tells you after you shorted the bios reset pins. I checked absolutely everything I could but there was no indication of the battery failing (as unplugging the computer didn't make the clock reset or anything) or the pins being shorted. So I just continued using it that way, assuming it was a bug with the BIOS that I would solve in the future by flashing the latest version. And here we are, two days ago I wanted to overclock so I got around to fixing that problem first. I did it the wrong way: went for the latest version directly. Worth to mention here: I ALWAYS update BIOS through Q-Flash and never with desktop tools. So I updated to F51b, went for the OC, set the multiplier to 40 (I know this CPU boosts to 41, I'm just dumb), reset: boom "BIOS failure detected" suggesting me to load the "optimized defaults". Long story short: I could change ANYTHING in the BIOS set XMP, turn up the core voltage, turn on virtualization, with no error, but setting the multiplier to anything over 38 makes it instantly crash. I KNOW it's not a stability issue: the PC doesn't go past the Gigabyte logo, it makes no sense for it to be a stability issue. Also, right now I'm on CPU-Z and see "Core Speed: 4091 Mhz". I thought "maybe it's a bug with the latest version" and downgraded to the current F50a. Problem is still exactly the same. I'm asking for help 'cause on one side: I know I can get more juice out of this CPU, and also, a BIOS not acting as supposed smells like trouble in the future. Anyway, I have many details that I omitted to not make this excessively long, but I will share any of them if you ask. Thanks in advance.

I have 600W PSU , ryzen 5 3600, rtx 2060, 4x8GB ram, one m.2 SSD and 3TB harddrive. When I run my CPU at max frequency, arround 4.1-4.2 GHz, after some time BSOD appears, something with kernel. So I had to set maximum processor state to 99% in power management, and now the maximum is only 3.52GHz. Can I somehow change it to different value? I want to set it to the max value that will not crash my system.

HI everyone, why does my 3600 not do single core boost? It only does all-core even on War Thunder what exactly is wrong?

my ram is not working at full speed XMP profile is set to 1600 but its still working on 1333 both motherboard and cpu support 1600mhz. it all started after when i changed my case (built myself) before it was running 1600.

Hi there, all. I've ran into an issue with my Dell Inspiron 15 7567 lately. This started happening a few days ago, and I have no battery installed, i'm running off AC power. The processor usually runs at 60-68 C and the laptop has enough airflow and is not dusty, but not powered by an external cooler. So, to the issue. Whenever I launch a game, or have a demanding process, the processor clocks down 10 MHz at a time until it reaches 0.45 GHz (as low as i've seen it go), then it goes back up to 3 GHz if it wants to, if not, to 1 or 2 GHz frequency. It basically does what it wants, and I want it to run at a constant powerful speed all the time. I'm not sure if I should go into the BIOS and fiddle around with settings, but I literally cannot play games or multitask on a gaming laptop because of this issue. I pull up HWMonitor and Task Manager and it gives me all the info I need, i don't really know how to read if the temperatures and voltages are fine on there by the way. Although, when I browse casually and don't overload it, the processor stays at a constant 3.09 GHz. Please help, if anyone has any ideas do let me know and if you need any other information in order for you to assist me please do ask and I will gladly provide. Thank you!

I dont know if this is an issue or not but every 1-2 seconds on a balanced power plan my cpu jumps to turbo speed. changing maximum processor state to 99 percent makes the same thing happen but instead it just keeps jumping to base clock speed rather than the turbo clock speed. So when it's enabled every couple of seconds it jumps to 4.28 and when disabled the base clock speed. This occurs even when Im just looking at my desktop and all I have open is this HWinfo64 to check it. It's an i7-8700(non-k) Is it normal to constantly jump up like this?

Hi! recently I bought a new 2GB (800 MHz) ram to increase the ram capacity next to my old 2GB (400 MHz) for Gigabyte "GA-P31-ES3G" Motherboard. everything seemed good but apparently the system was using 400MHz for rams and my system was unstable that even i couldn't install Windows or anything! this morning i couldn't even boot up that i had to remove the new ram i bought. the company itself said that this model of Motherboard does support these types of rams (400 MHz-800MHz-1060MHz) and it also supports dual rams but something strange they said about this Motherboard that i can't really understand what it means: "Because of chipset limitations, when using FSB 1333 MHz CPU with populating all DIMM sockets, memory frequency will be reduced from the original, and system instability or incorrect detection of memory module may be occur. Please refer "Memory Support List" for memory support information." what should I do? just give up on my new ram?

Built my CPU from scratch for a budget, so went with a Ryzen 5 3500 (3600 was almost 100$ equivalent in Rupees costlier at that time) and a Gigabyte B450M DS3H-CF with a stock cooler I overclocked via Ryzen master a couple of months back to 4.2GHz all core with no voltage increase (Never crashed in any game I played). The CPU got toasty a lot, so added a new cooler (Arctic Freezer 13X CO) and then the temps fluctuated between 62-64 on all core load on R9 and Furmark. Want to push this build a little further, and stumbled upon a post on this forum with 4.5Ghz all core at 1.38 Volts. Saw there people asking on all core volt provided by CPU on stock settings, Prime95 with 6 loads, 100% CPU usage, and 1.358V max on 3.9Ghz was what it peeked at(saw a bump to 1.37V for a split second). But my problem is 10 min stress test got my CPU to almost 82 Degrees. (Never happened before on this new cooler) So now my question is, overclocking further, I'd definitely need a new cooler, and was thinking about Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240. Any advice what more should I take into consideration? I'd appreciate if you have a better suggestion for the cooler even, just need you guys to work in Indian currency (Amazon India) Thanks

I have a Ryzen 5 2400G system with MSI B450 Gaming Plus motherboard. Last month I decided to swap my RAMs for G SKILL Trident Z Neo 2x8GB 3200 Mhz sticks (in slots 2 and 4). Then I applied the DDR4-3200 profile from the BIOS and it worked correctly. Today I bought the same kit and filled in slots 1 and 3. Now when I try to boot, the PC restarts twice (which I suppose is the memory failure count) and when it boots, it sets the RAMs at 1866MHz. I tried setting DDR4-3200 at the BIOS settings. I tried to activate A-XMP (profile 2 - 3200MHz) but same issue for both. It reverts back to 1866. Selecting XMP profile 1, however gives me 2933MHz. Anything higher than that reverts back to 1866. Using the old sticks only I can select 3200MHz. Also using the new sticks only I can select 3200MHz as well.

Hello guys, So i´ve encountered a weird issue with Ryzen Master. While everything seems working fine, it just wont show any Speed/Frequency of my CPU. It doest matter whether its in idle or under prime95. It simply says 0Mhz. While checking the Ryzen Master Version I realized it shows my CPU as a 5600x but says it has 0/0 Cores/Threads. Here are the Specs of my System: CPU: Amd Ryzen 5600x Mainboard: Asus Strix B550 - E Gaming Ram: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 16-16-16-36 GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super OS: Windows 10 Pro I alredy checked my Drivers and Stuff: Chipset: 2.05.04.352 BIOS: 1202 (there is only a newer beta version as of now) Winows: (20H2) up to date (at least windows shows no update) Ryzen Master 2.6.0.1702 As I was still rocking my Fx8350 before upgrading, I´m not quite familiar with all the new tools yet. So I might just have overlooked somethig trivial. Yes I restared my PC. I also realized that Aida 64 wasnt reading my Frequency right. So maybe the CPU is just too new ? I also stumbled across a similar thread but the forum said it was too old, I should do a new one. (wasn´t solved anyway) I hope somebody can help, thank you in advance EDIT: Fixed with new BIOS (Agesa 1.2.0.0) and Ryzen Master (2.6.1.x)

Hi I just upgraded my PC (I guess at least) and bought an additional 16GB of 3200MHZ DDR4 RAM. Now I have 4x8GB of the same Vengeance LPX 3200MHZ Memory. It runs smoothly, cpu-z and the task manager show the 32gb. But it is running at the default 2166mhz frequency. I already tried to enable DOCP which didn't help. In the BIOS drop-down menu it says 3200mhz while only running on 2166mhz. I am not comfortable to set frequency, timings and voltage myself, I don't know too much about computers. Updated the BIOS, Chipset etc. Now CPU-Z shows the timings as 15-15-15-36 while I think the correct ones would be 16-18-18-36. But I have no clue on how to change that correctly. Specs: ASUS ROG STRX B450-F Gaming Ryzen 7 2700X 4 x 8GB Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHZ Can anyone help me out here?

Hey all, So I've preordered an RTX 3090 for my next build, which I'm looking to pair with the new 5900X or 5950X from AMD (I'll cast my judgement when I see the announcement). I've always wanted an all out gaming rig and I've saved up for so long, I can finally spend the money on it happily. Questions I have are to do with the memory, however. Looking at some G.Skill Trident Z Neo modules, probably going to get 4 modules because I want to see the full bank on the motherboard. Weird but you know how it is. So I'll either go with 4x8GB (the more affordable, probably-gonna-be-okay-with-32GB option) as opposed to 4x16GB. -Is there any benefit of using 2 DIMMs of 16GB over 4 DIMMs of 8GB, when installing memory? Faster access etc? (Is it worth the tradeoff of not having a full bank and never being satisfied with how it looks?) -I'm looking to get 3600MHz modules. but notice the latencies go up when you start to raise the frequency, unless you want to spend an unfathomable amount on RAM. I know we can't be sure how Zen 3 will react to memory speeds, but based on Zen 2, is it better to get something like a 3200MHz CL14 kit (14-14-14-34), or a 3600MHz CL16 kit (16-16-16-36)? Or does it really not make that much difference at all? Sorry for the long winded post but I want this build to have as few 'what ifs' as possible! Cheers, Rhys

Guys i have a pair of the devices at home and want to set up a connection to another house. Upon connecting each device to my laptop i can see they come pre-configured and they communicate on their own network (smth like 192.168.88.2 and 192.168.88.3). Does it matter if they are in the different range than what i use at home? (192.168.100.0/24) Also they are set in Bridge mode, does that affect or i need to change their whole configuration? Anyone with more expertise in this field can offer advise, i never used RouterOS, i just tried it with WinBox.

Hi! I finished my build, and I might have shot myself in the leg. Note, that I am not an expert on the topic by any means, I just wanted to build a system which is futureproof, reliable workstation for modeling and bioinformatics, as well as a good gamestation. Here is my setup: -ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha -AMD Threadripper 3970x -2xMSI RTX 3090 Suprim X -G.Skill 256GB (8x32GB) kit 3600 Now, I just realised that the Threadripper 3970x officially maxes out at 3200Mhz memory speed, and only the 3990x supports 3600Mhz. Since I purchased the 3600Mhz kit, I am affraid I might have lost performance, since the CL numbers are as follows: 3200 kit: CL16-18-18-38 3600 kit: CL18-22-22-42 After doing the math, I realized that even after I set the RAM to 3200Mhz, I'll have longer latency due to the larger CL numbers, compared to if I have gone with the 3200Mhz kit. My question is: is there any way to maximize my performance, decreasing latency? Either by setting the CL numbers lower, or running the RAM at 3600Mhz? Is it possible to tune these sticks to get the same performance or better, as if I have gone with the 3200 kit? Anything like the infinity fabric or using the DRAM calculator? Thank you very much in advance!

UPDATE: While downloading important files to an external drive, all of a sudden, things seemed to be going suspiciously smoothly. Scrolling seemed instantaneous. Opening folders was snappy. What could be happening?!? I checked Task Manager and then HwInfo, both reporting nominal CPU operation. I'm over the moon thrilled right now. Given this is my college laptop, I don't really have the money to drop on a replacement right now. My VERY speculative guess on how it fixed itself: I was playing subnautica when I spilled the water, so the laptop definitely had active threads, memory, unsaved progress, etc. It was only once I started digging into the subnautica folders under steam in my C drive that it magically fixed itself. I don't have a deep understanding of the topic to draw genuine conclusions, but I suspect it could have realized there were issues relating to those folders/files, and reset to a save state once I started digging in those files, which somehow solved the root issue. Alternatively, this could just be coincidental timing of a super lucky event. Either way, my woes seem to be gone for now. Huge thank you to everyone who gave suggestions and advice below. I learned a lot through this process. Original Post: I have a dell XPS 13 inch, running an i5-1135G7, 512gb SSD, 16 gigs ram, and intel Iris Xe. It runs windows 11 64 bit and is currently on bios version 3.11.0. This is primarily my college laptop, but being home for break I’ve done some light gaming on it. While gaming, I spilled water on the keyboard, enough to get in pretty much everything. The laptop instantly shut off, and I dried it out as much as possible. I was able to get it to turn on into a bios update, which bios logs show failed 4x before the final success. It then shut down until I took it apart, removing every last bit of water, cleaning up with isopropyl, and removing/installing the battery. After reassembly, it ran through a series of RGB on the display and then booted to windows, which shocked me. It seemed ok but very slow. Some digging into the task manager showed me it was running at 0.19 ghz, or 8% CPU frequency almost constantly. The ram, SSD, Wi-Fi, and Iris Xe seem completely fine. I removed and re-installed the battery twice more to see if that would solve things, but nothing changed. I ran an intel CPU diagnostic tool, which came back with everything as a “pass” and even showed that it recorded 2.41 ghz on the cpu frequency test, which surprised me (result image attached). Following various other forums, I messed with dell power, fan, and thermal throttling settings (setting to the most intensive I could). I also went into the bios and changed two of the “smart, adaptive power” settings (I forget the proper names, but they didn’t change anything). Using resource monitor, I found that the “maximum frequency” was pretty constant at 8%, though it occasionally jumped to 10-12% which surprised me. Lastly, I booted in safe mode, and while it was still slow, the task manager and resource monitor there showed the proper 2.41 ghz and 100% frequency. This confuses me because the speed in safe mode suggested it wasn’t any faster. One forum post I came across claimed that reverting to an older bios version solved a similar issue, so that might be a route for me to explore, as it did automatically update bios in the midst of this all. I plan to backup important files on an external drive and probably factory reset if I can’t find a good solution. Note- the laptop never physically got very hot during these processes, so besides a broken sensor, I doubt it would be thermally throttling here. I also confirmed that the fans do work normally if the laptop gets hot, which also suggests it’s not just thermal throttling. (The fans only briefly came on while in the BIOS).

Hello guys ! This post is following this one resolved : So am playing GTA V actually to tweak some configuration and see the evolution of my perfs (All i'm witing here, is in the order of my tweaks, and benchs pictures is respectively the order of my comment) i put GTA in Full Low Quality, still in 2K, and my first picture attached show the perfs. As you can see i've got like 1500MHz used, with a lil bit more than 0.800V in average for 35% usage generally. I just drop it like thius, in 3620x2036 DSR, nothing changes in terms of FPS (may be around 2 FPS less but it's almost like an error margin) Then i will just put maximum quality in the ones making me restart the game (I forgot i was in DST 3620x2036, so i changed for 2K, i gained 6Fps, but nothing changes in terme of perfs), : - Textures - Shaders - Particles - Grass This time, i have just a lil bit lower FPS, but nothing awful ahah, and the power consumption of my card is low, and the frequency as before is really high (voltage too) Now, i'm gonna tweak the settings to maximum of : - Shadow - Reflection - MSAA Reflection - Water Quality So i have some loss FPS, exactly the same, as if i putted the DSR Resolution, and i have a bit lowerage Frequency, for a higher Watt usage I will now put to the maximum the FXAA and see that i have like 4 FPS loss, and again lose frequency dropping from 1544 to 1430MHz, and voltage from beyond 800mV to 780mV If i put MSAA + TXAA, i'm now in a range of 1266MHz and 1316MHz generally and a voltage of 731mV for around 74 and 82W of usage Then i will use the settings i didn't upgraded and stop MSAA + TXAA + FXAA : - Post FX + Motion Blur Strenght And i'm in a range of 1367MHz up to 1481MHz, and a voltage between 762mV to 800mV If i put together MSAA + TXAA + FXAA : Average to 56 Fps, in a range of 1291MHz, 80W, and 731mV Now i disable again MSAA TXAA and FXAA, then up to the maximum quality : - Soft Shadow Nvidia PCSS - Anisotropic Filtering - Ambient Occlusion - Tessellation And my average MHz is 1315MHz, with 750mV, at 80W Now finally i will put max MSAA TXAA and FXAA and see final frequency, wattage, voltage : And i'm at the same results than before So, putting MSAA TXAA and FXAA downvolt and down frequency Putting Soft Shadow, anisotropic etc.. Downvolt and down frequency too But Putting these two together doesn't double lower the Volt and Frequency, this is absolutely physically not logical, if i can't catch and rise a weight of 100Kg, but i can do it with 50Kg, if i put 50Kg + 50Kg, i should not have the strenght to rise it, cause it is accumulation of weight making 100Kg... The last bench screen is with maximum advanced settings adding more quality to shadow, plus more quality in the range of view with shadows, so it should destroy performances, but not really that much... PS: i didn't do any tweak with In Game Scaling Resolution. EDIT : i add the bar of VRAM Used In Game with full maximum Settings, at 2K with Scaling Resolution.

I recently upgraded my RAM amount, but after that i couldn't get Close to the old speeds. I had 2x8 GB Tryden Z RGB RAM which was Advertised with 3200Mhz CL16 and it was running fine.

Hello, i'm going to buy the ryzen 3 3200g and amd says that the System Memory Specification is 2933MHz. I want to buy the corsair 2x8gb vengeance lpx. I'm just not sure if I should buy the 3000MHz variant (because the system memory specification from the 3200g is 2933MHz and 3000 is close) or the 3200MHz (because ryzen loves memory). I don't even know if I buy the 3200MHz variant the ryzen 3 3200g could use more than 2933MHz and it was a waste of money. So my question is if the ryzen 3 3200g would make use of 3200 MHz or if it even works with xmp profile enabled. Should I buy the 3000 MHz or the 3200 MHz variant? Thank you https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-3-3200g
