can't use my cpu because i added a gpu to the system
hello
i purchased my pc with a ryzen 3 2200g and apu inside. i managed to increase the cpu frequency from 3500mhz to 3850mhz via bios, without altering the voltage or soc settings. it was running at stock 1.4v cpu voltage, with a voc of 1.1, and it operated smoothly without any crashes.
now i plan to upgrade my system and add a real gpu. i bought an rx570 and since then, i’ve encountered difficulties overclocking the cpu. there are bottlenecks in certain games, such as destiny 2, where every time i try to overclock it crashes before windows boots. anyone know what’s happening? is there a way to overclock this cpu with a gpu in the system?
motherboard: asus prime b450m-a
memory: gskill ripjaw 3200mhz cl16
psu: crosair 450w 80+ white vs450
gpu: shappire pulse rx570 itx mini 4gb
Saphire suggests a 500W PSU for this card. You're using a model that only provides 408W at 12V, and you're pushing it to overclock. Overclocking raises power needs. Without overclocking, the PSU can barely handle the load. With overclocking, it won't suffice.

Wattage alone is not meaningful, there is a big difference between high and low quality psu’s of the same wattage rating. The VS range is the lowest quality of the Corsair lineup and not a good choice for gaming or overclocking. They are best suited to low power office use.
My setup functions properly even when using a GPU overclock, though it only draws around 130-135 watts during heavy gaming sessions.
recommended wattage mainly aims to reduce psu temperature, among other factors. the system should still handle up to 250 watts even during overclocking. regarding cpu stability, this is linked to voltage variations; with an integrated gpu, the mainboard likely supplies more voltage to the cpu than without it.
raise the cpu voltage slightly, a 10% adjustment remains within safe limits
