5GHz processor and ASUS H170 gaming laptop
Hey, I heard about your situation. You were experiencing a bottleneck where your CPU was at full capacity while your GPU was only 80% used. Even after overclocking the GPU, you didn’t see any improvement in performance, though your benchmark showed some gains. It seems like your CPU might be limiting things. Since your motherboard isn’t designed for overclocking, you’re looking for other ways to help both CPU and GPU perform better together. There’s a common idea that increasing resolution can ease the CPU load, but with your display limit, that option is closed. You might want to explore BIOS settings or hardware tweaks to see if they can improve overall performance without breaking rules. Let me know if you want more details!
Purchase a fresh CPU and motherboard. The H series board signifies your SOL.
Plan ahead and order a Ryzen 5 4600 and B550 board for delivery in September.
You might consider purchasing a refurbished Z170 board if it suits your needs. For fun, which GPU are you using?
