Checking if you can boost performance on that setup
Checking if you can boost performance on that setup
I checked many online guides, but they all rely on the 3D BIOS. My system doesn’t support that. I think I should try overclocking my CPU to about 4.3 GHz, especially since BF4 hits around 30 FPS on ultra with a GTX 780. My RAM and CPU might be limiting performance. I’ve already boosted my GPU’s core and memory clocks in Afterburner to +60, so I’m hoping the same approach works for the CPU. Do you have any advice?
I have the same motherboard.
First, enter BIOS (press Del during startup) and turn off all power-saving CPU features in ADVANCED FREQUENCY SETTINGS. Only keep HPC mode enabled.
Next, adjust the CPU clock ratio to 22 in ADVANCED FREQUENCY SETTINGS.
Then set the voltage (CPU Vcore) to 1.435v in ADVANCED VOLTAGE SETTINGS.
Boot into Windows and run Prime95 for stability testing over 10 to 15 minutes. If it runs smoothly at 4.4ghz, you're stable; if not, increase the Vcore slightly but keep it low for better stability. Feel free to ask if you need more guidance.
I possess identical motherboards...
Begin by accessing the BIOS (press DEL during startup) and turn off all power-saving CPU features (under ADVANCED FREQUENCY SETTINGS, select ADVANCED CPU CORE FEATURE, disable everything except HPC mode enabled).
Next, adjust the CPU clock ratio to 22 in ADVANCED FREQUENCY SETTINGS.
Then, set the voltage (CPU Vcore) to 1.435v in ADVANCED VOLTAGE SETTINGS.
Launch Windows and run Prime95 for stability testing over 10 to 15 minutes. If the core remains stable at 4.4ghz, proceed; otherwise, increase the vcore slightly up to 1.5v, but keep it low for better stability. Consult if you need further clarification.
Once the CPU is stable, verify RAM compatibility by selecting XMP MEMORY PROFILE 1 in advanced memory settings—this should automatically optimize performance. For gaming, RAM speed has minimal impact; you may leave it at default or auto unless you have a compatible XMP profile 1.

If it works without core failure, you should be stable; if not, increase the Vcore slightly but keep it low for better stability. You can go up to 1.5v, though lower is preferable as long as your overclock remains consistent... feel free to ask if you need more help.

Thank you very much!

Review of your motherboard... I have an FX8350 and a GA-970A-UD3P rev 2.
I can't provide a more detailed explanation, but the only improvements mentioned in the mother are listed in the R reviews. For more specifics, check the characteristics of each motherboard and compare the differences. For example: GA-970A-D3 (rev. 1.0/1.1), rev. 1.01.1, rev. 3.0, rev. 1.4, rev. 1.3.
In this page, Gigabyte allows you to view and compare changes in each review: http://www.gigabyte.com.mx/products/prod...id=4207#ov
