Evga x299 ftw k
I5 7640x
24gb 2400mhz ram
About a month ago something in my pc died so I'm using brand new ram, cpu, and motherboard. My cpu overclocks much better than my last one, completely stable at 1.3v 5.1ghz. My old motherboard didnt do this, but for some reason my cpu clock keeps jumping back and forth between 5.1 and 4.8. Is it supposed to do that or is there a setting I need to change in bios? This is my first evga board so the bios is still new to me. My 360mm aio is keeping it at 55° under load so I'm not thermal throttling. Maybe it has something to do with intel turbo being enabled?
Also, in MSI afterburner, I have the voltage slider turned all the way up. I dont know anything about overclocking a gpu. I'm assuming it's safe to keep it like that? I have the power and temp limit turned all the way up and I'm using the stock fan curve, it doesnt get over 65°. Its a MSI 1060 6gb gaming x. Should I keep fans on 100% so that it doesnt downclock? Is that something I even need to worry about?
My ram is gskill value c17 2400. I have 2x4gb and 2x8gb. I just got these today from gskill and they're brand new. On the gskill stickers, it has a number printed on it. I believe 2 of the stickers say 2600 and the others say something similar. Does this mean anything? Overclocking my ram is originally what caused something in my pc to die. Is it even worth messing with? Would I see any fps improvement in games if I overclock my memory? Bios says my ram is working at 2400mhz but also says XMP not supported. Is this because its 2133 chips?
