r/overclocking - for those who like to push their chips a little harder

Hi all!

I used to have a 9800x3d and my boost clocks would always go to max, 5225 mhz and the effective clock during stress tests would go slightly above the clock speed.

But with my 9950x3d, during stress tests, I never see the clock speed hit its max of 5550/5750 and stay there consistently.

Is this normal? Yes I have pbo enabled, and some curve shaper settings of -15 on medium temp max/high/medium freq and -10 on high temp max/high/med in addition to have a -10co. Scalar 1x, default/disabled/mobo limits yield same results. 85tjmax vs 95tjmax yields the same results.

Thanks.

EDIT: i should mention my cppc is set to frequency and I manually use process lasso to assign games to ccd0.

My reason for wondering is basically am i getting full power from ccd0 for gaming and why did my 9800x3d hit above clock speed effective clocks and my 9950x3d wont.

Colorful iGame RTX 3070 8GB

I'm currently using Colorful iGame RTX 3070 8GB.

manually overclocked by MSI after burner.

-overclock data

+110 Core clock

+1,000 Memory clock

Temp Limit : 90 / Power Limit : 110%

-No manual curve editing

Max Core Temp is about 55~65 which is pretty normal.

but the problem is Hot spot temperature.

Hot spot temp goes up to 88~90 which triggers the temp limit and makes stutter.

of course I applied new thermal paste and replaced all thermal pads.

is this problem common with this model? or did I do something wrong with overclocking?

Hey everyone!

Two days ago I finished my workday and switched over from my work MacBook to my gaming pc, and immediately noticed weird stuff. Firefox tabs crashing and just overall sluggishness. Weird. I checked my temps and looked at windows update. All good. After a few minutes, I got a bsod.

Frustrated, I downloaded the latest bios for my b650 aorus elite ax revision 2, turned my XMP back on, along with the high performance and low latency toggled, same as always. Crash. Reboot. Freeze.

Eventually I considered this may be my gpu, as in, I had moved my case a bit and have a vertical mount and riser setup. so I reseated it all. Same deal, bsod, crash etc.

So, my questions are: is there anything I should consider that would explain how my pc was rock stable for more than a year and now isn’t? I played countless hours and never had any kind of instability whatsoever. Secondly, are there any guides or settings adjustments you can reccomend to get my XMP stable? That’s really all I want. Any help is highly appreciated.

My specs:

7800x3d B650 Aorus Elite Ax rev 2 latest bios Two nvme, 500gb and 2tb 64 gb ddr 6000 CMK64GX5M2B6000C30

Hi everyone, this is my #3 post in this community about my Intel issue. Thanks for all your help

I'm currently in the RMA process and unsure whether to take a refund or replace my degraded 13900K with a new 14900K. Some say that even with Intel's recommended settings, a tweaked BIOS, and the latest BIOS update, degradation can still occur during idle

Is this true!!!

Hello, I've been fortunate enough to get a great IMC on my Ryzen 7600 (non-x, installed on an Asrock b650m pro rs wifi). After being able to run 6400MT/s, FCLK 2133 with 1,88 vSOC, i thought 6600MT/s 1,3 vSOC were possible - and it seems like it is.

I managed to consistently pass ~5hrs of TM5 extreme with good-ish timings and max tREFI. Though when running even low GPU loads during testing, the extra heat output starts to error around the 1-2hr mark. This happen even at JEDEC standart timings.

When adding GPU load the sticks reach around 53c with agressive fan-curves, but i currently have no active cooling on the RAM.

Fiddling with VDD didn't seem to help much, as the sticks were stable at higher temps but the overall temp increased, thus making it unstable yet again. Currently i have VDD=VDDQ=VDDIO at 1,38v.

What would you recommend? Anything else i can do than mount my Wraith Prism 80mm (like Buildzoid)? Would the added cooling be significant enough?

Thx in advance

Brand new rig on msi meg x870E godlike.

This scared me since I expected to get around 2450 cinabench score but Im 200 behind with this power draw.

Did some digging and changed stuff in bios: Pbo enabled +100 PB overdrive PBO Control: motherboard

This changed nothing really. Oh expo 1 is also on. 2×32gb 6000 CL 26 kit.

Then set undervolt: CO: per core. 7 cores minus 15 core 8 0 (Minus 20 instead of 15 caused a crash) Curve shaper is -10 on all but minimum and low.

This made my cpu run a bit cooler and lost 0 performance.

I think the issue is the pbo control. When set it to motherboard or amd default it only plays around 190-200. While I still have thermal headroom as I am yet to hit 80°

I read a megathread on this issue... could it be that manual pbo control is the answer? What settings would you guys consider safe? I dont want to hit absolute max temps, I only want the cpu to perform as advertised at a stable 230w under full load.

I want the cpu to be able to draw at least 230w if that's safe, but I also like the undervolting thing it has going on, if possible I wouldn't want to abandon that. I know this oc/uv is tame but I am a first timer + I want it to be very stable long term as this is my main pc so pls cut me some slack.

I have a old cpu, i7 5820k paired with a rtx 3070 and mainly use the system for gaming. I am not facing bottleneck issues most of the time but still I want to overclock the cpu to get the most out of this system. I have tried other bios versions before (my bios is the latest from 2019) but no matter what I do the bios doesnt let me input any value to the voltage or the clock speed multiplier section. I have also tried AI Suite 3 too, that software overclocked my cpu but it was really unstable and made my pc crash a lot of the time even though I did all the stress tests in that software. Completely removing AI Suite was also a big trouble so I really would prefer not to go down that road again. I am new to overclocking so keep that in mind I might be missing some obvious stuff. I really would appreciate any kind of help or advice. Thanks.

I got a new prebuilt as a gift that came with a 5070 and a i9 14900f, it had some issues at first with the pci but i got those fixed, however in hwinfo it is saying that my temps are reaching up to 90c sometimes 100c randomly whenever am just browsing, however when i do 3dmark the temps only ever reach 74c so I was wondering if the default setting it came with were bad, i heard around that the stock settings were kinda bad and i want this pc to last me a while before a upgrade, so what would good performance volts while also not degrading the card to much the mobo is a b760m c v2 and this is the cpu stuff on hwinfo while playing rust
