Hi everyone.
New overclocker here, had a question on 10850k/msi z490 unify mobo on the "adaptive" mode.
My z490 board has two modes, adaptive and adaptive + override.
My chip needs about 1.26V to get stable at 5.0GHZ all core.
I've noticed a strange quirk on setting to adaptive mode. If I...
Greetings!
I have already messed with some OCs on my 3800x with the B350 Tomahawk, however, I am wondering if there are any other users of the same board sporting the same CPU that can help me optimize for more stable clocks. I have had it at 4.525 (IIRC) stable and ran some tests in which it...
Just a quick question - I recently discovered that the Xtreme/Aorus Engine software for my Gigabyte GTX 1080 is causing the display to not be able to enter sleep mode. Problem is, without this software loaded and running, I am unable to overclock the card to my normal speeds.
Is there a decent...
For sale is my almost new intel i7 4820K cpu that I bought new from Microcenter. It was sitting in storage for years and I just used it these last 3 months. It easily overclocked to a stable 4.5Ghz at 1.3 volts on my Asus motherboard. I think it can go higher, but 4.5Ghz was plenty fast for...
German overclocker Der8auer got his hands on a Radeon VII GPU to see how much extra performance he could squeeze out of it, but apparently, there are some major issues in the review drivers and/or firmware for the Radeon VII. Any kind of manual overclock, however minor it may be, seems to...

I have a Zotac 1080 mini for sale ($375 shipped to lower 48 states) due to a recent upgrade to an AIO watercooled Zotac 1080ti. This card is a full performance 1080, and it comes overclocked stock. The 2GHz/5.57GHz is additional stable headroom available over the factory OC if...
TechEphiphany on YouTube has released a video that shows how to overclock the previously multiplier locked $55 AMD Athlon 200GE with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics. The MSI B350M Gaming Pro motherboard was updated to the latest AGESA 1006 BIOS. The options to overclock the processor were present after...
I've got the DDR3 G.Skill Trident X 2x8GB 2133Mhz.
All I've done is set XMP and the last timing from 2T to 1T.
I'd like to squeeze some more speed out of them but I don't know anything about timings and what they can/should be at certain frequencies.
I don't know if its easier to increase...
Hi Guys,
I had just pre-ordered the Intel's 9900k, and need your help picking out the motherboard.
In the past I always had Asus and it served me well, never had a Gigabyte board. I will also be getting an nvme drive 2GB & will be re-using my GTX 1060 8GB.

I just installed a 2600X and I'm trying to determine what is the actual speed I'm getting with it. In the below screenshot I have an output from CPU-Z and Gigabyte's hardware monitor. Is the CPU actually at 3.6 or hitting 4.2 GHz? I run the CPU-Z CPU stress test and its hitting at about 3665...
YouTuber der8auer has set a new Geekbench record with his overclocked Ryzen 2700X running on an ASUS Crosshair VII Hero motherboard with LN2 cooling. His 6ghz with the 2700X is a new record for the Ryzen family of processors. All in all this is a great thing for AMD and it seems like the new...
I wasn't sure if I should drop this here, or in the overclocking subforum... oh well, here is as good a place as any.
Anyway....

Hi folks,
I've come to find that my system has become unstable after enjoying nearly a year of light overclocking after installing the Windows update for the Meltdown patch.

I can find a lot info about the Noctua NH-D15(S) in combination with the 8700k, but none with the Noctua NH-U14S. Do you guys think that my Noctua NH-U14S will be sufficiënt if I want to overclock the 8700k say to a modest 4.8ghz?
Is the Noctua NH-U14S compatible with socket 1151?

Hey, I've been having problems with my Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 kit (CMY16GX3M2A1866C10)
My board won't set the correct speed for this RAM... It automatically sets it to 1333MHz Cas9 when it is rated at 1866MHz Cas10... Even when I set the XMP to profile1 it runs at something really weird like...

Hi everyone,
So I'm very new to overclocking -- the only experience I have is just unlocking the turbo boost on my non k CPU that I had prior to this.
I'm going to take some screenshots of what I see in my bios.
But on CPU ID it is currently reading 3.9ghz max.
If anybody can help me walk...

I'm...
So, now that I have gotten a little sleep, we are back at the test bench this afternoon trying to figure out what we are going to have to do in order to get this 8600K to 5.2GHz without having to delid. And I am fairly sure we are going to delid anyway.
Check out the pic.
Hi,
I just want to learn more about how the different frequencies are set and how they correlate between one another. I'd also like to know how voltages are set.
Right now thats what I understand about how modern systems work:
The CPU sets the BCLK (Base CLocK) that is used by the CPU...
