Just starting with PBO and Co...
I added a PBO with +75/CO -25/scalar x10 at 70°C. Tested for 30 minutes on CPU/RAM at OCCT and 1 hour of Prime95. I expect minor graphical glitches or pops in games, possibly due to the GPU and CPU performance. The GPU temperature seems normal. Is the CPU core temperature okay?
It might stem from the PBO and Co2. You're picking up on things, but it's unclear if the rest of your configuration is solid. The bugs you mentioned seem likely caused by PBO or Co2, possibly due to a sudden change. In electrical testing, working backward can help—slow down initially and see how it progresses. If you're comfortable with Half-Life-style troubleshooting, try framing your fixes like that; it may slow some issues but will improve overall speed and give you a steady baseline for fixing. Also, remember to start manually on a board you don’t really like—it’s a good idea.
I adjusted the settings to +25 PBO/CO -25/ Scalar Auto. Everything seems fine. I played for an hour at around 70°C. Is this safe for overclocking? My aim is to achieve higher temperatures using the original parts or slightly improved performance.
