I recently just bought a PC and have been overclocking it. I've seen some posts for overclocking Ryzen that say you have to enable and disable specific features like overvolt/current protection or SVM. All I've done is set the core multiplier to 38 (3.8 GHz) with a dynamic vcore of +0.048 (goes...

Getting a new pc, and I want to save money and get a 520W PSU (Seasonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze) with my 970. I plan on overclocking my Ryzen 1200 to ~3.8 or 3.7 Ghz and GPU moderately. Will my PSU be able to hold?

Do I need to update the BIOS for my mobo if i want to get an FX 8300?

I wanted to buy an Xbox controller for my PC so I can play racing games without a keyboard. I came across this one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-For-Official-Microsoft-Xbox-360-Wired-Controller-Windows-PC-Xbox-360/252898803124 I'm not sure if this is a genuine controller or not, there is...

I'm trying to pick a processor for my new build I'm buying in a couple months. I want the 4770K for the fair amount of threads and clock speed with overclocks, but Ryzen 1600 seems to be more futureproof as it has 6 cores and SMT. I am leaning towards the 4770K since I will most likely be...

For my new build I plan on buying a used 4790K or 4770K. I want a good cooler around ~45 USD to overclock my CPU to its fullest extent. I've already picked out the Scythe Mugen 5, but I want more options

I plan on buying a used 4770K and Cryorig H7 for my new build and overclocking it, hopefully around 4.4 GHz. Should I expect good temps? If not, any recommendations for a better cooler?

I was planning on getting a Ryzen 1600 and GTX 1080 for 1080p 144hz gaming, but I started to consider getting a used 4770K from eBay for higher clock speeds. I found some for ~$130 ~140. Is it worth it in 2017?

I plan on buying a build with a Ryzen 1600 and an ASRock B350 Pro4 mobo. How much of an overclock can expect (with stock cooler)? Also, any recommendations for a better motherboard if possible?

I've heard that at 1080p the GTX 1080 will most likely be bottlenecked by the Ryzen 1600. So will that be the same situation for 2560 x 1080p? Note: I don't care about overkill, I'm mainly concerned about if it will bottleneck or not.

For a gaming build, should I go with a overclocked 1500X or an overclocked 1600?

Would a Ryzen 5 1600 (overclocked of course, I'm hoping ~3.8 GHz on the stock cooler) bottleneck a GTX 1080 at 1080p?

I was wondering if a reasonably overclocked Ryzen 1600 can perform the same (or better) than an i5 7600.
