Hi there everyone-
I recently upgraded my hardware mainly to boost my CPU's performance. I bought a Corsair H100i Pro RGB AIO Cooler and switched to the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon Mobo. In my BIOS I adjusted the Core Clock to 3.6, which is higher than my base setting of 3.4 (Ryzen 5 2600). After saving and exiting, I checked with CPU-Z and found no changes in my base frequency. Since I'm new to CPU overclocking, any advice or tips would be really helpful. Thanks!
Ensure all power-saving settings are turned off and turbo is disabled for consistent frequency. Verify your power plan in Windows to prioritize high performance, confirming that the maximum CPU usage reaches 100%. Use CPU-Z to execute "Stress CPU" from the Bench tab and observe any changes in frequency.
You must turn off all power-saving settings and turbo to maintain a steady frequency. Verify your power plan in Windows is set to high performance, ensuring the CPU reaches full capacity. In CPU-Z, execute "Stress CPU" from the Bench tab to observe any frequency adjustments. Do the BIOS adjustments needed?
It needs to be checked at maximum capacity to determine if frequency increases.
