    Question Overclocking Ryzen 5 1600 to 4GHz but it gets stuck at 1.55GHz. Did I do something wrong?

    Apparently it has to do with the motherboard. Something like if you set the voltage over 1.3V it will automatically lock the frequency at 1.55GHz. It's a problem with some MSI and Gigabyte I think. Maybe a BIOS update will fix it?

    Question Overclocking Ryzen 5 1600 to 4GHz but it gets stuck at 1.55GHz. Did I do something wrong?

    So I tried overclocking my R5 1600 to 4GHz, I enabled A-XMP, I set the voltage at 1.4V, CPU frequency at 4000 (I have an MSI motherboard) and nothing else. I boot into windows and my clock speed is stuck at 1.36GHz on the task manager and CPU-Z shows that my core speed is at 1549.63MHz. What...

    Hi guys, So I'm about to upgrade my PC this summer and I got two options. Option 1: Buy an i7-7700 (Non-K) and 8GB of DDR4 memory. I'm going with the Non-K variant because I don't know how to overclock and don't want to mess up everything and I have a B250 motherboard already so I don't have...

    So this motherboard, I'd like to buy has 6x fan header, 1x CPU fan header, 4x system fan header and 1x water pump header. I'm not planning to use a water pump so I'm wondering if I can use that header for another case fan. The motherboard...

    Motherboard doesn’t have enough fan headers.

    So, I have a motherboard that only has 1 4-pin system fan header. I’m planning to have 5 fans that use a 4-pin fan header but my motherboard will not support that many fans. My case doesn’t have a 5.25” bay so a 5.25” fan controller is not an option, but a 3.5” fan controller or a fan controller...

    Looking for a LGA-1151 Kaby Lake (Z270 or B250) motherboard with 5, 4-pin fan headers.
