OVERCLOCKING AND INPUT LAG HELP

[FNGNeedsHelp]

Im looking to overclock my new pc an also achieve the lowest input lag possible reason is i play a drag racing game an i need to be able to see a light as fast as possible THIS IS THE Greatest need is to make that red light appear as fast as possible I care nothing about graphics just fastest response available i will list all parts an monitor below 

 

MOBO AORUS Z390 PRO WIFI

CPU I7 9700K

GPU 2060 XC ULTRA 6GB 

RAM TEAMFORCE NIGHTHAWK 3200 16GB ONLY

M.2 SSD 970 EVO PRO 512GB

2X 1TB HDD 7200RPM 

 

MONITOR C32HG70 SAMSUNG 

 

NOTE ONLY THING I OVERCLOCKED IS RAM TO RECEIVE REACH PROPER SPEEDS 7000MHZ 1.400V 

 

also game is forza horizon 4 but strictly drag race

Seven thousand megahertz? You sure about that?

 

Also, is the thread asking for advice on what to do? I'll start by asking what CPU cooler you got.

[FNGNeedsHelp]

i want to say that is correct 7000 at least that what i remember seeing on msi afterburner unless that program value is incorrect id have to take another look currently not near my pc

 

an yes im in desperate need of help with mt build i want to overclock it properly n reduce input lag 

 

my cooler is 212 evo cooler master im going air cooled but side note the pc is in a a/c room which stays cold at all times

Video RAM and System RAM are not the same thing.

 

A Hyper 212 Evo to cool an i7 9700K with expectation to overclock is rather 'silly'.

I know this is not the optimal choice but is only temporary less than a month money issues lol but yeah so far this is were i stand again the system is not made to game a bunch of shit i will only be playing one game only competitive purposes

it's been working out rather well for me, if @FNGNeedsHelp has silicon winner then low voltage will allow it to happen. The soldered IHS helps too.

i could be mistaken on that reading scratch that i guess for now but to reply to that evo cooler when im runnig that game at full graphics i dont see any spikes above 50-55c on my cpu thats on ultra settings

For OC testing, you'd want to use something like Aida64, fairly hard hitting test. If I was using it, I'd see if the CPU stays under 80 after a 15 minute Aida stress test. Also, higher graphics settings will mean lower FPS because your GPU won't be able to draw frames as quickly, so lower the settings all the way to see if your CPU can push as many frames as possible.

i actually dont play in ultra setting for higher fps reasons but ive done it simply to test the level of heat it will make when at those settings.

 

i still need to find a way to make the input lag lower

So have you looked up an overclock tutorial for your motherboard?

i have but have not found a very in depth one my other question would be will overclocking my system help with what i want ?

Yeah most likely, I believe that if you're playing at low settings for max FPS then more CPU clock speed will give yo what you want.

now the real question is how do i do it an how do i keep it safe with my current cooling system

You keep it safe by monitoring temperature and stressing it, like I said. Use Aida64 and watch so that the temps don't go above 80 (or at least, not by much). Make sure to keep your voltage low, I feel as though you'd be able to manage 4.6 all core with something like 1.2 volts on that cooler, maybe 4.5 all core.

ok thanks one last question i noticed my mobo bios has fan set to max at all times its not that loud to me but i dont know if thats bad should i adjust it to be dynamic like fast only under load or is it ok for it to run at max at all times

It's not really bad if you don't mind the noise, but if you ever find it to be a problem you know what to change at least.

Do you actually know what part of your hardware will improve the response time you are looking for? Because I don't believe CPU or GPU overclocking, or even RAM overclocking will make that kind of difference. You are looking at as much refresh rate from monitor as possible, plus using PS/2 keyboard and mouse to eliminate any lag USB connection causes.

[CorruptedSanity]

Your monitor has a low input lag mode, make sure that's enabled.  It takes the input lag from around 25ms down to around 6ms.
