Recently, I bought an RTX 5070 for an upgrade from my GTX 1660, I have a Ryzen 5 3600x and currently am not able to purchase a stronger CPU I am wondering how I could go about Overclocking it while minimizing the risks?

So I just build a new pc. Has a ryzen 7 7800x3d. 360 mm cooler. Rtx 3080 which is getting replaced with a 9070xt. 2 sticks of 16 gig cl30 6000 hz ram and a 2 tb nvme drive. What stuff can I do optimization wise/ overclock wise to max out Warzone fps and lower latency? And what should I expect fps wise as a ball park? Any info helps. Thanks!

I don’t want results from people who haven’t done the Aida CPU + FPU + CACHE test. Mostly because lots of chips will show crazy scores like -45 and -50 but they are only stable like that cause the chip is spending half its time correcting errors. This reflects in cinebench scores and very dependent benchmarks that are sensitive to frequency.

The best I’m seeing right now with some basic searching is -40 is not possible anywhere, -35 maybe and -30 is around top 1-5%

Is that checking out?

Edit: After messing around with Curve Optimizer/Shaper I’m sitting right now at guaranteed -35 CCD0 -25 CCD1 Aida CPU+FPU+CACHE stable, Y-Cruncher, OCCT, Linpack etc.

CBR23: 46850

My current setup: 9950X3D 192GB RAM (4x48GB) CL 28-38-38-126 4090 B650E Aorus Master

Hello everyone , just got my i9-13900k(capped at 254W to prevent thermal throttle)setup with a noctua nh-d15 . Case has good airflow but even cranking fans at 100% it cant hold below 80 while gaming (it can but it fluctuates back and pretty much i'm not really winning anything). I have a z790 meg tomahawk wifi max from MSI as the motherboard. Funny enough it doesnt have a vcore sensor and xtu doesnt run on it.(Why? Idk) . I am a newbie in undervolting so i saw VID asked for 1.5V 1.55V so i decided lets go 1.25V😃. I've played around with those values but i came to find out they drop performance a lot(by hundreds of fps in mc with 32 chunks 32 simulated and flying around). Any tips? Ill stop playing with values until i can find a good answer. Pls dont tell me to get a water cooler (the cpu got me broke 🤣🤣 . Will do in the future tho) I forgot to mention , idk what cpu voltage mode to use , it got me confused. I used adaptive (default is auto). Any help is appreciated . Ty

Edit: unrelated to undervolting but ithought about the behaviour twice and maybe the windows installation is corrupt or smth , directx issues and dlls missing. Ill reinstall but i still need some advice on how to properly undervolt

Anyway to get video on this motherboard. GPU decided to retire

I ran this OC for around 6 months now. no sound issues or any sings of instability during cinebnech 2024, y-cruncher VT3, gameplay or anything for that matter. I noticed lately that during pre-game shader complitation when listenting to music through Spotify that sound would just skip 300ms or so every 5-10 seconds. is this a sign of anything? or is it because of the 100% cpu spotify is just acting funky?

also, is there a stress test that mimics shader compliation? it seems like shader compliation does stuff to my pc that even cinebench doesn't.

cpu : 9800x3D fclk 2200. my headphones are aslo usb (not pulling sound from the soundcard)

Hey folks,

I’m having an issue with my rig crashing randomly ever since I updated the BIOS on my NZXT Z790 motherboard (went from version 9.xx to 17.xx). About 1.5 years ago, when the early instability issues with the 14900K were all over the place, I made some tweaks (undervolting, load line calibration, etc.) to stabilize it. Everything was solid since then.

But after the BIOS update, crashes are back.

My Current System:

  • CPU: Intel Core i9-14900K
  • CPU Cooler: Corsair 360MM radiatior
  • Motherboard: NZXT N7 Z790 (BIOS updated to v17.03)
  • RAM: Corsair DDR5 Vengeance RGB 2x16GB 6000MHz CL30 x 2 kits = 64GB total
  • GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4080 SUPER AORUS MASTER
  • PSU: Corsair HX1000i (2023)
  • SSD 1: Samsung 990 PRO 4TB M.2
  • SSD 2: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2
  • Case Accessories: Lian Li Strimer Plus 24-pin + 12VHPWR RGB, NZXT vertical GPU mount

My Observations:

  • RAM is recognized as 64 GB, but only runs at 3600 MHz, even when XMP is enabled (DDR5-6000 CL30 1.40V).
  • If I enable XMP with all 4 sticks installed, the system either fails to boot or crashes in Windows.
  • I remember the memory controller on 14900K (Raptor Lake Refresh) wasn’t always stable at high frequencies with 4 DIMMs.

My Questions:

  1. What manual adjustments should I try making now that I’ve updated to a newer BIOS version? (LLC, SA/IMC voltages, etc.)
  2. Would enabling Gear 2 mode help stabilize DDR5-6000 across 4 sticks?
  3. Should I reduce frequency to 5600 MHz or 5200 and tighten timings manually?
  4. Could this be related to load line calibration, power limits, or voltage offsets that got wiped with the BIOS update?

so i undervolted my cpu with the microcode set to nu uvp and -cpu offset 0.130 its stable but it doesnt get any cooler during gaming my cinebench scores did increase by around 1k from 31k to 32k but during fifa with my door closed it still hits 86c average (i have a small 2 by 2.5 meter room because im the youngest one from 3)

but with door open it averages 75-80c ish which im fine with but id still like it a bit cooler i feel like my undervotl had a smeel effect but not much

cpu: i7 14700kf

mobo https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B760-P-DDR4-II

should i just power limit my cpu or will i lose a lot of performance? since 150 wats during fifa is outrages imo

do i need to change another setting?

Passes TM5 and y-cruncher FFT VT3, did I got lucky with stable 2233 FCLK at 1.08 IOD / CCD?

Did some more tuning of my ram sticks. My CPU doesn't have a positive core clock boost, just a negative per core CO. I will do a +200 boost once my direct die arrives. Here are the screenshot of my Karhu 12hr test along with AIDA64 test. I'm thinking this is a good 24/7 OC with the temps not going over 35c in either TM5 and Karhu. Will try to get to 1.5v if possible in coming weeks. Let me know your thoughts/tips, advice is appreciated.

Managed to get this bad boy to 2850mhz @ 1.12v 1900mhz vram 2000mhz fclk. I modded it with an 240 aio (teucer af240) so that's why core temps are very low despite pulling almost double stock power draw on the core (~70w at stock, almost 120w here). I did it because i was limited to 135w power limit with the stock heatsink and 2 P12s ziptied on it. I used MPT to raise the power limit and increase fclk. I will try to edit the bios with YAABE (i tried once and had to flash the original bios back because it wouldn't post). I'll try different configurations since i now have a clip bios flasher. I'll let you know if it works.

hey guys, I overclocked my Ryzen 5 5600 and got 631.7 points in single thread and 4854.4 points in multi thread (using CPU-Z as the bench tool), I'm currently at 4.75Ghz and 1.23125 volts, and I just want to know if that's something expected, or too good or too bad, as I'm new to overclocking, I'm trying to learn more about it, let me know if there's something wrong with the frequency or the voltages or any tips for values I could change
