Overclock causes high ping?
Overclock causes high ping?
I increased the overclock of my i5-8600k to 4.7 Ghz at 1.25V, everything functioned properly with temperatures around 30°C until I started playing csgo. My ping exceeded 500ms and kept rising. My usual ping is under 20 in csgo. After resetting the CPU back to its stock speed, my ping returned to normal. Did I make a mistake or is there an issue with the motherboard or CPU?
Shot in the dark, are you using inboard NiC or PCI Ethernet/WiFi? Run the OC and then execute CMD as admin. Try this: bcdedit /set useplatformclock true. To revert to default, use bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock. You may also sync the internal clock or target a new server by following these steps if the previous ones fail: stop w32time, unregister and register with w32tm, restart w32time, then restart the machine. If this doesn’t work, let me know your email and I’ll send you a link for an online meeting via Citrix or Webex.
Well, it's unusual. Perhaps the OC is unstable. Did you store your settings so you can alternate between them? Reset everything to the default and verify your ping once more.

Usually not. It might be that the OC has some instability. Did you save your settings so you can switch back and forth? Restore everything to the default and verify your ping again.
Yeah, I set it back to default and my ping is now 19.

Review your bios configurations for any errors when configuring your CPU. Confirm that none of the settings are automatically enabled, overly high, or improperly set that could affect stability. Small adjustments like a checkbox, a tiny value (.001), or even dust particles can significantly impact performance and reliability.
