Face difficulties enhancing performance beyond limits Trouble tuning up components effectively
You're dealing with an older PC that struggles with modern games like CS2. The lag you're experiencing is likely due to outdated hardware limitations. Trying to boost RAM speed to 3200 or 3600 MHz can cause instability because those timings don't match the current CPU architecture. If you increase the frequency slightly, it often leads to overheating and crashes. Consider checking your motherboard's support for higher overclock limits or upgrading components like the GPU if possible.
The issue is that the overclock becomes unstable at higher frequencies. That’s how it is. You might try boosting the CPU voltage to achieve overclocking, but be careful not to go too far! The same applies to RAM. It could be that you didn’t get the right components and the parts don’t support good overclocking. Which GPU do you have? Most GPUs can handle a bit of overclocking.
i feel really unlucky losing both the ram and cpu, especially on the cpu (r5 3600). i’m not pushing beyond max clock speed and the voltage is already high, which is typical for a ryzen. the graphics card is an rx590 from sapphire, but it becomes unstable after hitting 100 more mhz. it’s exhausting trying to use the pc anymore—it just doesn’t work.
If the system keeps crashing, you might need to increase the voltage further or it may be the CPU's limit. Keep in mind that the 4.2Ghz boost clock works best with one or two cores, so getting it running on all cores could be challenging for your processor. What voltages are you using? Regarding the RX590, most overclocking reports on YouTube range from around +60 to +80 MHz for the core and a bit higher for memory. It's essentially an upgraded version of the RX580, already near its maximum performance. Observing instability above 100Mhz isn't unexpected. I’m not sure what you’re aiming for—we can’t force components beyond their natural capabilities.
I’m already at 1.45 with the default voltage, but the Ryzen still crashes even at stock speeds. It should reach 4.2 without any adjustments, but it doesn’t. For the RX590, I’ve stopped trying for a long time because of driver issues—I’m sorry if it sounded pushy, but I’m saving for college and can’t afford a new PC right now. Thanks!
Consider adjusting the Global C-State Control setting. Several users reported that modifying this and turning off PBO resolved their problem.
I'll attempt it, the BIOS on the Gigabyte B450 seems a bit odd.
I’m keen to push the RAM even further, I noticed a big jump in FPS but it’s not consistent.
