What is Ring/LLC Clock?
What is Ring/LLC Clock?
Hi! Your overclocking seems to be working as expected based on the information from HWInfo. The numbers you see match what you should expect after successfully reaching 4.6GHz. The differences you noticed might be due to how the BIOS or system reports it. Let me know if you need more details!
The ring ratio refers to the connection between cores, cache, memory controllers, etc., while the uncore ratio relates to the cache/memory clock speed. It's ideal to maintain a 1:1 clock ratio among all components, though having slightly lower ratios for ring and uncore is acceptable as it helps the core clock operate without instability.
I meant when I open bios, not the motherboard. Sorry! Your ring is at a good MHz because it's 500MHz or less compared to the core clock speed. Also, can you clarify what an uncore ratio is? My uncore ratio is 41x, which matters for overclocking—should I keep it like this or change it?

In short, if your CPU clears the Prime95 24-hour test (currently at 14 hours) along with a few other checks, you should be able to fully benefit from your 4.6GHz overclock despite the 41x uncore ratio.
Yes. I personally don't see the point in 24hr testing on a gaming system. It's unnecessary wear and tear IMO. 1hr is usually good enough for me and my system. If my games are that important that I needed 100% certainty that my system didn't crash, I wouldn't be overclocking.
