Safe Overclock tips?
Safe Overclock tips?
I want to see how fast my PC runs better, but I don't know how to overheat it safely because I have no experience doing this yet. Any help is welcome. I'm okay with taking a chance for more speed since the current performance is good and I can afford not getting hurt if something goes wrong.
Your specs didn't say that. You are on a blank page. Pull up your list and use the "bb" at the top to copy/paste. Rule number one for an Origin Character is baby steps. Start small, lock all the cores, then test. See how the temps change. Raise your multiplier by 1, test again. There are some decent testing programs out there; my favorites are Coretemp, realtemp, Ryzen Master, Prime95 with a small fft and AVX turned off (just for temperature data), Asus RealBench for stability. With air cooling, run the temp test for five minutes in p95. If you have liquid cooling, run the temp test for thirty minutes, then rest for fifteen minutes while measuring the p95. Verify your temps using Coretemp or Ryzen Master (if it is an AMD computer). Number one piece of advice: don't rush things and be patient. A good stable OC can take months to dial in properly, or just hours to get "good..."

Start small, lock all the cores, then test it out. See how the temps are. Raise your multiplier by one, test again. There are some decent testing tools out there, my favorite ones are Coretemp, realtemp, Ryzen Master, Prime95 small fft with AVX disabled (for temps only), Asus RealBench for stability. With air cooling, do a temp test of 5 minutes in p95. With liquid cooling, do a temp test of 30 minutes then rest for 15 minutes with p95. Verify temps using Coretemp and/or Ryzen Master (if it is an AMD card). Number one advice: don't rush things, be patient. A good stable OC can take months to dial in right, or just hours to get 'good enough'. Get used to your bios, learn what all the settings are for, what they mean, and how they mess with things. The more research you do on OC, the better it is. Get used to resetting bios procedures, resetting cmos etc, you'll probably run into the need for that. OC almost always does this.
Lol. That's just not a rule. It's actually necessary. There is no law saying you have to wear shin guards and a cup while playing soccer, but only an idiot with a death wish would try. Same thing goes for OCs. You need the right gear, or else don't play; it looks bad if your foot ends up in the wrong place.
