overclocking

Hi all, I felt like tinkering with my system and bought a 2x8GB 4133MHz kit 19-25-25-45 Corsair Vengeance LPX, to replace my 2x8GB LPX 3200MHz 16-18-18-36. Was more curious than anything else, and the 4133MHz appears stable with XMPII which reduces some elements from "auto" beyond the primary...

Greetings, I have custom made R9 290X with hybrid cooling, temps under load never go above 35c and VRMs always stay under 70c. Gpu also has ASCI rating of 80.1% so in theory it should be great for overclocking. Because of that, and because stock voltage is pretty low (1192mv is max you can put...

So I just got my Ryzen 5900x and after putting it in my pc I find its idling at 50 C and under load gets as high as 88 C. Is this a cause for concern? I have no idea why. I have a Scythe Fuma 2 and High Performance Corsair Thermal paste. I've re-applid the paste and took the cooler on and off 3...

Hi, so I have an RX580 4gb and I think it might be using to little watts. I've seen videos online of other Rx580s using around 150W while mine only goes to as far as like 90W sometimes. In MSI Afterburner, it only lets me go up 50% power usage while people can go up to 125% which is what the...

There is an option in the bios of Z370-P to overclock your cpu to 5ghz. I have an i5 8600k. Is it worth it to do the auto overclock to 5ghz? (meaning: Is it safe, etc.) or should i stay on my manual overclock of 4.8ghz at 1.335v i have used thermal paste on the CPU and upgraded the cooler to...

Hi all, fairly new to building in ryzen but quite familiar with PC building in general. Recently upgraded my system from 16 gb of 320 MHz memory to 32 gb and got myself a b450 mortar motherboard to go with it. Ever since I’ve been having problems with games crashing unexpectedly and all I...

Guys I have an MSI Ventus 2X RTX 3070 and i never overclocked my GPU or any previous Gpus, I just set the Temp limit and Power limit to max for more performance, I also set Core Voltage to 100% on afterburner I thought it would make the GPU more stable but it crashed and restarted my PC 3 times...

Hi there, Does anyone know if there’s any truth in the idea that a Z97 motherboard would be significantly better than a Z87 for running and overclocking an i7-4790K? I'm planning an upgrade from my successfully de-lidded and overclocked 4760K, to a 4790K which I found at reasonable price and...
