CPU Overclocking

I have been noticing weird artifacts in Windows whenever viewing any images or even in my desktop background as shown below. They are prevalent more when the CPU is overclocked but nowadays even on stock speeds although the amount of artifacts is less on CPU stock speed. https://ibb.co/JtBf9r0...

So I followed this tutorial; View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZpYBdKdjBE on how to overclock my ryzen 5 2500x. But now when I reset my pc and go into bios again, it still shows the same 38 ratio. It still shows 40 as I set it to in the settings, but not on the hardware monitor neither on...

Hello guys. Recently i build my first Gaming PC. So everything went fine. But im afraid about my temps. The CPU is on 4.2 GHz, and 1.375V. In Idle temp is around 39-40 degree. Cinebench around 70-73 degree. Aida64 Stresstest 60 degree. And when Im playing COD Warzone on 1080p Ultra, im getting...

I have fx 8300 3.3 ghz base but on windows 10 it shows over that, like 3.9 and on idle the max frequency shown on resource monitor is always over 100%(110-120%) I went to bios and entered the default option but it still persists, when I change the power mode to power saver it goes max 50% but as...

Hey all, so I bought a Ryzen 5 3600x way back when the Gen3 first came out, and finally got a stable-ish overclock after a year of fiddling. Here's what I got. (Because otherwise my memory is stuck at 2133, and a quick CPU boost to 4.2 or 4.4 under load, isn't as useful as just having a 4.2 base...

Hello, so I tried to overclock my x5660 ( Yes I know its quite old) for about 1 year without success to exceed 4.2GHZ clock speed, I always get BlueScreens, I tried different voltages, multipliers, setting RAM speed very low, watching lots of videos and trying to copy every setting , etc... But...

Hello, may I ask something about overclocking a Ryzen 5 3600 on MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard: So usually when not overclocked the VID and the Vcore in HWINFO64 are kinda synced, right?! So when I punch an overclock of 42.00 and add manual override voltage to 1.3250v, save and reboot, then I...

I have an old cpu/apu which is the A10-7870k. I was wondering what i could do to get more perfomance or more fps in games? Overclocking? Like the ghz? Or the ram mhz??? Also how to do those stuff. I have AMD Overdrive here btw. First timer here 😅 Cpu - Amd a10-7870k Motherboard - Asrock...

Hello! I managed to get my 9700K to 5.1 GHZ Stable on 1.39 Volts average. Maximum peaks are up to 1.44V - those are only peaks, it doesn't stay there. Temperatures are good -> 68-74C when playing CPU intensive games. Is it safe in the long term? Should I keep it like that? Thanks!

Another topic just like this was previously created by someone else but too old (2010), and at end no one mentioned how to do it. So, now, after 9 years , how to do it? Please don't suggest me getting a new mobo. If i wanted to, i wouldn't wait and waste my time. I know this isn't an easy work...

Hello everyone. I bought a ryzen 5 2600+b450 tomahawk+corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 3000mhz ram. Right now I have an fx 9370 paired with a corsair h100i v2. The b450 tomahawk has not arrived yet, but I suppose by Friday it will have arrived. I was thinking of overclocking the 2600, but I don't know...

So yesterday I used the AI optimized overclocking in AISuite 3 to overclock my i7 9700k to 5.1 GHz, and it was working all day yesterday and most of the day today until I put my PC on sleep mode for a few hours, came back and was watching a youtube video when my screen froze then gave me a BDOS...

Is there any other Alienware users that use the CPU Performance mode to overclock their CPU? I decided to give it a try and enabled Level One OC (out of 3), the results were much greater than expected...Testing Arma 3, my game went from 35-50FPS on standard graphics, to now where I'm running the...

Hi, I’ve been trying to overclock my i7 4770k on the newest version of Prime but couldn’t get it stable on 4.3 at 1.250volts, temps were really high on my Corsair H100i pro. I installed the 26.6 version instead and now the overclock is stable and doesn’t rise above 75c in temps, How come...

I just installed my Corsair H100i Pro and I would like to overclock my cpu to 4.5 ghz. I watched a guide and did exactly like him, but I knew it wouldn't be stable so I tried to boot and used prime95 and it crashed. The thing is, I am not sure which voltages to touch, I get that I need to...

I recently bought the Corsair H60 Hydro Series water cooler but the mounting bracket does not fit my motherboard. I have a MSI AMD B350 Gaming Plus motherboard but the AMD mounting bracket doesn't line up with the sockets on my motherboard. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong would help. Thanks

I need to find an case atx with room for the be silent Dark Rock Pro 3 and decent cable management space for under $50, any suggestions? A case with a window would be a plus

I have a motherboard with an onboard surface slot for M2 - the M key variety. The board is a Gigabyte GA H97 D3H http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4962#ov So I know that my M2 slot runs through the PCIe lane and not SATA III, giving me potentially the higher 10 Gb/s data...

The higher clocked CPU performance better?
