Posted November 12, 2018 · Original PosterOP Hi all, Currently trying to get some gentle overclocking on my components. So far my best settings are: CPU = 4.2GHz, 1.40V VCore, CPUVcore and VCoreSOC loadline calibration both set to Turbo, RAM = 3400Mhz at timings of 18-20-20-20-40-2T. The problem is that when I done my benchmarks on Userbenchmark, the results are below expected across the board: UserBenchmark: Results CPU-Z: Results Any pointers at all here? Really appreciate all the help I get on these forums, and I apologise in advance for being a scrub.

HWInfo and some benchmark will tell you. just look at core voltage and that should have a max. if that max goes over the voltage you set then LLC is being overly agressive. you also have ~0.025V to the limit if you have the cooling to take it and you want to push more.

Posted November 12, 2018 · Original PosterOP OK first of all, thank you to all the guys in here helping me out, it has been a great amount of help and I love these forums for it. In close to this thread I was able to tweak some things and get more performance: CPU = 4.30 Ghz @ 1.39V, RAM = 3,600MHz @ XMP Profile 1 (auto timings), GPU = +157Mhz to base clock and +997Mhz on memory clock. Happy with the thermals, happy with the small increases in performance. I did get the RTX to +202MHz on base clock and the thermals were not bad but it was artifacting space invaders all over the screen.
