I have a new PC that works well after installing all drivers and running games like GTA 5 at 60 fps. I considered overclocking and used the "OC genie" on my motherboard, but it didn’t help with the CPU. When I tried to overclock the GPU, it slowed down significantly. After turning it off, it ran at 57-60 fps. Then I attempted to overclock the CPU again, but it dropped to 45 fps. I checked my memory and CPU cooler, but everything seems fine. My motherboard is an MSI 970 Gaming model, with a 16 GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM, a 1 TB hard drive, and a Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler.

I really don’t understand, but I can say this clearly; you should attempt an original character creation yourself instead of relying on something like an OC generator. Their overclocks can be problematic because they might cause the clock to be either too low or too high, along with voltage issues that could harm you over time.

I changed them back to stalk speed and voltage, but now it’s running at 45fps, no more than that.
