AMD Ryzen 5 1600x with NVIDIA GTX 1080 ftw3 compatible
Hi everyone, I've been a PC gamer for most of my life but haven't really experimented much with overclocking. I was curious if anyone could suggest a good starting point for my setup. I've checked some guides before, but it seems OC might need detailed knowledge about each component.
I understand the GPU part is pretty clear, and I'm using ungine valley and heaven for testing. I'm not sure how much voltage I can push without issues.
My current specs are:
- AMD Ryzen 5 1600x
- B350 Krait Gaming Mobo
- EVGA Nvida GTX 1080 ti FTW3
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb (2x8gb) DDR4 3200
Have you experimented with the AMD alternative to xmp and attempted auto-overclock at 2933? For GPU overclocking, using MSI Afterburner is quite simple—just push thermal, power, and core voltage limits, then check memory and core clock settings for the 1080ti via Afterburner before testing with ungine valley.

For the GPU, I’m comfortable with Evga Precision X and used it on my previous 970. I managed to boot with a-xmp at 2933, but the experience was very unstable—frequent BSODs, memory problems, and crashes. My main goal is to unlock more cores at higher frequencies, as I suspect my CPU is limiting GPU performance. I’m also heavily playing WoW and want more cores running smoothly for better frame consistency since it’s CPU-intensive.
I checked for a QVL related to your motherboard to check for any RAM problems, but didn't find one. You mentioned Ryzen's memory requirements are higher than Intel's, so I looked into the B350 forum to find compatible RAM options.
