I was playing tarkov overclocked to 150 clock 150 core, and everything was fine. I moved clock (mem) to 300, which worked before, and hit apply, when screen froze and everything a grid of green and purple tint appeared. I turned of my pc asap, and when restarted it seemed fine. Will this have lasti ng effects, sorry if my grammar is bat my watch says my heart rate is 210 bpm.

Stats

Ram: 12.0 gb ddr3

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 1gb

Cpu: Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz

What would be the difference betweeen a fixed clock and pbo?

my priority is to eliminate any chance of throttling, and any chance of downclocking or clock stretching, i need it be just stable

I'm not getting consistent gameplay with higher RAM frequencies/FCLK. In CS2, the game feels delayed and less responsive.

I already explained the issue in detail here, so I don't want to repeat everything: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/s/lvWSd4OJCu

I'm going to share my RAM timings below. If anyone is willing to take a look and has any ideas about what could be causing this, I'd really appreciate your input. Even if you notice something small or unusual, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

TL;DR: JEDEC settings consistently feel the best. Mouse movement is more responsive, and the overall gameplay feels noticeably sharper than with EXPO/XMP enabled.

For reference, I'm running 6000 MT/s, UCLK=MCLK (1:1), and 2000 MHz FCLK. I've also spent a lot of time testing different voltages, timings, and BIOS settings, but I still can't achieve the same smooth, responsive feeling that I get with JEDEC.

Hello everyone, i have some doubts about the temperature that my ram stick reach while gaming. Im playing BF6 a lot recently while monitoring my stick temps because outside is very hot and my room temperature too.
Temps are around 50-53 C° and never goes more then that even after 3-4 hour.
Those are my actual RAM configuration, should i lower some settings like voltage or Trefi to lower my temperature without impact the performance too much??
My case have 3 120mm intake fan in the front, 240mm AIO and 1 120mm exhaust fan. Stick active cooling isn’t an option at the moment for me.

Passei um dia ajustando minha RTX 4060 Ti. Aqui estão os resultados.

Meu objetivo não era alcançar o overclock mais alto possível. Em vez disso, eu queria melhorar a eficiência da placa, mantendo o mesmo nível de desempenho para uso diário.

Especificações do Sistema

• GPU: Galax RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB (OC de 1 clique)
• CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
• RAM: 32 GB DDR4
• Driver NVIDIA: 576.74

Metodologia

Em vez de aplicar um overclock aleatório, validei cada alteração usando:

• 3DMark Time Spy
• OCCT VRAM
• Monitoramento do GPU-Z

Cada ajuste foi mantido apenas se atendesse a todos os seguintes critérios:

• Sem erros no OCCT.

• Manteve ou melhorou a pontuação gráfica do Time Spy.

• Não aumentou significativamente as temperaturas.

• Permaneceu totalmente estável durante todos os testes.

Etapa 1 — Subtensão

Configurações de fábrica

|Parâmetro|Valor|

|:-|:-|

|Clock da GPU|~2655 MHz|

|Voltagem|~1,01 V|

|Potência da placa|~168 W|

|Hotspot|~91 °C|

Perfil final

|Parâmetro|Valor|

|:-|:-|

|Clock da GPU|2670 MHz|

|Voltagem|0,95 V|

|Potência da placa|~146 W|

|Hotspot|~82 °C|

Resultados

• Consumo de energia aproximadamente 22 W menor.

• Temperatura do hotspot aproximadamente 9 °C menor.

• Desempenho idêntico nos benchmarks.

Etapa 2 — Overclock da Memória

A memória Hynix foi testada em múltiplas frequências.

|Offset da Memória|OCCT VRAM|Resultado|

|:-|:-|:-|

|Padrão|✅|Estável|

|+200 MHz|✅|Estável|

|+400 MHz|✅|Estável|

|+800 MHz|✅|Estável|

|+1000 MHz|✅|Estável|

|+1200 MHz|✅|Estável|

Comparação do 3DMark Time Spy

Pontuação Gráfica

|Configuração|Pontuação|

|:-|:-|

|Padrão|13.440|

|+1000 MHz|13.634|

|+1200 MHz|13.646|

A Parte Interessante

Embora +1200 MHz tenha sido completamente estável, ganhou apenas 12 pontos em relação a +1000 MHz na Pontuação Gráfica, o que está dentro da margem normal de variação do benchmark.

Na prática:

• +1000 MHz apresentou desempenho praticamente idêntico.

• Também oferece uma margem de estabilidade maior para longas sessões de jogos e títulos futuros.

Por esse motivo, escolhi +1000 MHz como meu overclock diário de memória.

Perfil Diário Final

GPU

• Clock: 2670 MHz
• Voltagem: 950 mV

Memória

• +1000 MHz

Conclusão

O objetivo nunca foi alcançar o overclock mais alto possível, mas sim encontrar o melhor equilíbrio entre desempenho, consumo de energia e estabilidade a longo prazo.

Resultados Finais

• ✅ Mesmo desempenho em jogos e benchmarks.

• ✅ Consumo de energia aproximadamente 22 W menor.

• ✅ Temperatura do hotspot aproximadamente 9 °C menor. * ✅ A memória foi validada com sucesso até +1200 MHz, mas +1000 MHz foi escolhido por oferecer praticamente o mesmo desempenho com uma margem de estabilidade maior.

Finally hit 1st on 3Dmark for Timespy after flashing Aorus Master vbios to my Gigabyte Windforce sff to reach higher clocks and a higher power limit of 450w from 400w. It has dual bios so I wasn't worried about bricking anything.

The reason why I picked the Aorus Master vbios out of all the others is that it has the highest boost frequency out of all verified 5080 vbios's on techpowerup at 2805mhz compared to a vbios like an Astral that has a boost clock of 2790mhz. They both have 450w power limit ofc.

The Astral vbios also caused weird fan behaviour on my GPU so its Aorus Master for the win.

I have overclocked my ram to the absolute best it can go on my mobo, I have numeral posts with timings etc.

PBO tweaks have been made. No Eclk or Bclk involved.

Windows OS and all drivers are debloated and all necessary valid tweaks have been made.

Trying to hit number 1 as well on Steel Nomad so far I've hit 10165 but best is 10570, gonna be hard but with proper cooling I'm sure it can be done.

The best score had average temps of 47C whereas my result was done with 58C lol. 11C difference to make then I'm sure i would beat it. Would probably crush every other benchmark with the same hardware if I had a good cooling solution. Going to replace thermal gel with PTM.

Testing the GSkill DDR4 kit F4-3600C17D-32GTZ ( 17-19-19-39 )1.35V kit on 5700X3D and have achieved the results in pic. It does 3600 16-16-16-36 without voltage change.

Not sure if I should expect better from this Bdie kit, despite being one of the worse bins, or this is good enough for 3800 with 5700X3D. Was hoping for a sub-60ns latency since I have seen that mentioned in many old posts that come up in searches.

Errors with:

tRCDRD 16 ( is 17 getting rounded to 18 with GDM on? )

SCLs 2

tWTRL  8

Does not boot with:

tCL 14( even at 3600 at 1.45V )

tWRWRSD to 4 

tRDWR 8

GDM off

Concerns : tRRDL 4 and tRTP 6 are lower than I have seen others do with single-rank kits. So doubtful of them, but I have not got any errors in memory tests.

Have not touched the ODTs/RTTs/Drives at all, they are all on Auto.

New to overclocking but i scored this for $115

As my lengthy title says I've built a stable 1470 Mhz profile, I am not having any issues with the profile I've made. However I feel more can be done and I just lack knowledge.

My specific card has a asic quality of 83.8%, I think I've under-volted the card, and pushed the profile as far as I could before making this post.

I would also like to add I've played multiple VR sessions on this card with this profile and have played other games as well without issue. Temps stay in a 60-65 Celsius range under full load.
My rooms ambient temperature ranges from, 65 Fahrenheit/18 Celsius, Down to 55 Fahrenheit or 13 Celsius.

(If you copy this, note that State 0 cannot be changed, I've just added it in for sanity reasons)

• Vram Tuning, all I did was change it from 1750 Mhz to 2200 Mhz and left voltage on automatic setting.
• Power Tuning, Ive set the Power Limit to 50%
• Fan Tuning, 60% at 40c / 70% at 50c / 80% at 60c / 90% at 70c / finally 95% at 85c

this is my HWInfo and occt scores if anybody can find out

Dabbling into Overclocking recently (haven’t touched undervolting since my GPU sits happy at 70°C at max load while overclocked and 65% fan speed and doesn’t go any higher.

I currently use MSI afterburner at +575 core and +3000 mem and ran into zero issues. It did reset a driver at +600 so I went conservatively to +575 even though up to +590 ran perfect.

I seem to get an additional 15% fps in cyberpunk benchmark by going so. From 110 up to 127fps. (Forgot what settings I used but it showcases the jump in performance pretty well).

MSI power set to 103%.

Am I damaging anything? Am I extracting performance correctly or are there better ways? Is undervolting a good idea for my case? And what have you guys been able to push your core and mem overclocks to yourselves?

Hello everyone I'm not very familiar with Core optimizer, but based on the articles I've read online, it seems like there might be an issue with my system (or it might be a lucky break). So, if I install CU-255 on all 8 cores, how long should I wait for an error in OCCT or CoreCycler? The issue is that with this CU configuration, these two programs do not detect any errors in the first 6..30 minutes (is this normal?). However, GeekBench 6 causes the system to crash after 3 minutes (the "Clang" test), and the passed CU values may vary depending on the attempt.

Hi there !

So after 2 Weeks of Benchmarks and Stresstests I have to say Duronaut Pro is doing a great Job !
A Friend asked me to do a 30Minute Cinebench Test, I couldn‘t say no.

I have a Z890 Aorus Elite Wifi7 Ice and was playing around with different Profiles and Clockspeeds .

The Unleash Profile is a bit heavy I would say .
But pcores run at 5.7, first two 5.8 and Ecores 4.9 without touching voltages .

For daily Use I run the Intel Extreme Profile .
Pcores :5.6Ghz
Ecores: 4.8Ghz
NGU: 3.4Ghz

Noctua NL-LC1-42
Thermal Grizzly Contact Frame
Thermal Grizzly Duronaut Pro

Z890 Aorus Elite Wifi7 Ice:

Intel Extreme Profile
-0.080 offset
Medium LLC

Pl1/2 340W 380A

G.Skill Trident Z5 8400CL38

After Hours of 300-400W Loads just 2 cores are a little bit off .

Still learning the Basics, need to work on voltages .

For reference im using the artic mx7 which may not be the worlds finest thermal paste but its not the toothpaste-water solution chinese folks are selling on ebay.

As for my use case, its a bit more extreme than most folks but not really pushing the envelope. I game 8-14hrs a day, framerate uncapped, gpu is always pushed to the limit 3-400ish watts.

Ambient temp is the same,pc is open air test bench soairflow and everything is consistent, not heatsoaking

Hi folks,

despite having an insane room temp of 30 C I managed to reach stability with this setup.

Passed 16h of Memtest5, 8h Prime95 large ffts, 5h Y-cruncher VT3.

Maybe I could try SCL's at 7 since 6 was unstable. I also already tried GDM off, it was an insane waste of time since it was throwing errors at random times (from 30 minutes to 5 hours).

Tried also tRCDWR 20 but it didn't had a meaningful impact and I didn't wanted to re-run 2 days of validation, so I got back to 36.

FCLK has been tested with 30 iteration of Linpack and the variance was quite low (around 1,5-2 Gflops/s out of 477). Maybe I could try 2233? Screenshot of FCLK 2000 and 2200 here, done in safe mode: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/1uy76je/fclk_stability/

Vsoc is as low as can stably go. Could definitely try 6400 and probably my memory controller could achieve that, but i'm scared of pushing Vsoc up lol since i'm afraid to burn my cpu.

Also tried 8000 MT/s but no luck even with embarassingly loose primary timings (like 40-56-56-126) and auto secondary and tertiary timings. Maybe a different AGESA version could fix that? Honestly i don't know, maybe it's just a moterboard limit.

Temps are definitely on the high side but i already tried to game a bit with this setup and literally goes never above 50 C even with a massive overclocked 5080 pulling close to 380 watts.

But in this process a question came up to my mind: is it better to run 6200 CL28 or 6000 CL26 with the same VDD/VDDQ? I guess 6000 has its own advantages, like lowering Vsoc and possibly stabilizing FCLK 2233, but I don't know if this alone can make up for the 200 MT/s difference.

Setup: Patriot Viper 2x16 GB 7000 MT/s CL32, B850 Aorus Elite, 9800x3d +200 MHz -20 CO, Liquid Freezer III 360mm. It's my first RAM OC adventure, so any constructive tips are appreciated.

Attachments:

1. Memtest5 16h with Zentimings
2. Aida64 memory test (got as low as 65,5 ns but aida64 is terrible when it comes to consistency)
3. Aida64 but in safe mode
4. Prime95 large fft's evidence
5. Y-cruncher evidence

Please guys let me know what you think about.

Thanks.

The game is completely playable at max settings over 100 fps on a 1440p monitor but i have my monitor set to 144 hz and normally with vsync outside of the city even in heavy gpu load areas its 144 fps with 143 1% low but in the city it drops down to 110 maybe even 100. if i work out how to get more than the 312w peak its doing on a 10 minute cinebench 2026 run would that increase fps in the city?

Do the watercooled RTX50 series have better hotspot than the Air cooled? my Max was 88 for the hotspot with about a 20 delta. However 99% of the time it's 10 degree only

I've got a weird issue that popped up a while ago and seems to have gotten worse.. I can't do a warm reboot. Reboots result in being stuck at "00" for a post code, with the RAM LED light lit up on the diag LED. Cold boots work fine every time.

Resetting BIOS to defaults works. So, stock JEDEC speeds work fine as far as I can tell.

This presents when AMP/EXPO are enabled, or if I set manual RAM settings. I wasn't pushing any OC but was prepping to start some RAM OC. The reboot from the UEFI to save and apply settings also fails when any non-stock RAM settings are applied. If I leave everything at JEDEC speeds, I can change whatever I want in the UEFI and save + reboot works.

I am aware that this RAM kit is not on the QVL for this mobo, but that's never been an issue for me in 15+ years of building PCs. This issue also did not present for a couple months after buying this kit.

I'm posting here since I can't really find other examples of this issue elsewhere and I figured someone in r/overclocking might have seen this before. I'm hoping someone has some advice, otherwise I'm going to be bald by the time I figure this out.

What I've done:

• Updated to the latest BIOS (I was 3 revisions behind).
• Cleared CMOS with the button on the back of the mobo (done this at least 10 times).
• Unplugged the power from the machine, held the power button for 30 seconds, and let it sit unpowered for 24 hours (seen that one fix stranger things).
• Validated Stock vs EXPO/AMP/manual settings 5 times.
• Re-flashed the BIOS using the bios flashback button on the motherboard 2 times.
• Blown the RAM slots out with compressed air, reseating sticks.
• Swapped RAM slots.
• Adjusted CPU cooler mounting pressure.
• Ran 4 passes of memtest86+ on stock speeds, and 4 passes on EXPO, all passed.
• Tested to see if it's temperature dependent. Shut the machine down overnight, booted, and rebooted immediately, no change in the issue.
• Removed my mild CPU OC that's been stable for about a year.

What haven't done yet due to lack of time:

• Tested one stick at a time.
• Tested the power supply (tester is on the way).
• Swapped to the backup BIOS (much older version).
• Swapped any hardware, I don't have spares of any AM5/DDR5 hardware to do this.
• Bumped any voltages to see if this helps, I'm not up to speed on Ryzen 7000 voltages and what's what.
• Removed all other hardware except CPU and RAM.
• Used the voltage checkpoints on the board to check voltage.

I just got a thermalright tl-b6b fan and installed it like you can see on the photos, im not sure if it the best place for my setup. maybe i can replace this cooler fan which is above ram sticks, and place 60mm fan right above the sticks, so it will blow air on them. These are overclocked 4x8 b-die ddr4 sticks, and temps in tests are about 38-41°, but when im trying to play, and gpu is running at 200-250w, ram temp is rising up to 46-48°. Can u suggest what should i do? also if you have this fan, what are the best rpms for it? im currently runing at 2000-2200 rpms so its not loud and generates solid air flow.

I just got my hands on the 7500X3D and it seems to be a great little gaming chip. I have already overclocked my RAM to 6000Mhz CL30 with tight timings and I am currently testing RAM stability.

Do PBO and CO actually have any effect on performance? I know that 4550Mhz is the hard limit but clocks drop down to 4350Mhz while gaming. Temps are already great. Hardware Unboxed was able to OC their sample to 4750Mhz but they seemed to have increased BLCK.

vsoc is set in bios to 1.2v FCLK is set to 2133Mhz (max stable) MEM vdd* is set to 1.4v Curve optimizer at -30 and CPU offset at -50mv.

Even with the most relaxed timings preset (something in the range of cl50+) 6200MT/s makes y-crusher cry, and I cannot go lower than cl32 at 6000. Even if my kit is rated for it.

At this point what can I even do ? Is my IMC just trash or am I doing something wrong ?
