Over clocking rig
Hi all,
I'm facing some problems with my setup while trying to boost my RAM or CPU speeds. I have a Corsair vengeance LPX 8Gb(2x4) 3200MHZ DDR4, an MSI Tomahawk b350, and a Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.2GHz. Every time I attempt to overclock these components, only a small increase—just 0.1Ghz—makes a difference, but it's enough to cause the system to lag. It often needs a BIOS reset on the motherboard to get back to normal operation. I'm not overly concerned about CPU overclocking, but my RAM is stuck at 2133MHz even though it runs at the default speed on my machine.
Our typical overclocking approach involves choosing automatic overclock settings and verifying stability using POV-Ray and OCCT to mimic demanding tasks. These checks help identify any immediate memory or CPU issues. For manual adjustments, we start with standard voltage and multiplier values, raising the multiplier until tests fail. The CPU voltage is increased gradually until stability returns, repeating the process until the motherboard lowers the multiplier automatically or the temperature exceeds a critical threshold. Our testing environment isn’t enclosed...
Our typical overclocking approach involves choosing automatic overclock settings and verifying stability using POV-Ray and OCCT to mimic demanding tasks. These checks help identify any immediate memory or CPU issues. For manual adjustments, we start with a standard voltage and multiplier, raising it until tests fail. We then gradually increase the voltage until stability returns, repeating the process until the motherboard lowers the multiplier automatically or the CPU temperature exceeds safe limits (over 100ºC). Since our testing environment isn’t enclosed, higher temperatures can allow more aggressive overclocks with better cooling.
