Would it be better to increase the effort? Is there a way to do it?
Would it be better to increase the effort? Is there a way to do it?
Hey im not sure if i should overclock anymore than i already have maybe someone that knows my build would know the max overclocking stats for my setup.
last night I overclocked my RAM and APU.
This is
Ram 3200(xmp) to 3400 + 16/19/19/19/38 dram volt 1.4
Cpu : 3500 to 3800 + volt 1.4 soc volt 1.2
Gpu: 1200 to 1500 + GFX Core Volt 1.3 I was allowed to allocate 4gb on Mobo but only seems to be set to 2gb when i loaded up.
Ran a few different stress tests for 20/30 minutes..... Aidi 64 and then Furmark both didn't crash and my APU(Gpu/CPu) never went above 70c. Then I ran superposition benchmark didn't crash and again on 1080p extreme didn't go above 65c
Should i continue trying out more or do you think I'm at the maximum ?

Temperature isn't the sole factor affecting system stability during overclocking; how far you increase your frequency and the voltage levels also play a role. Additionally, different CPUs behave differently, which is why we often refer to the "silicon lottery"—some can handle higher voltages and frequencies safely, while others require significantly more than 1.4 volts to operate without risk.
Hi, from a max frequency perspective, I believe that's a solid OC, I wouldn't push higher. From a voltage standpoint, if you're confident your OC is stable, I'd consider reducing the vcore slightly. Try re-running every stress test with a lower vcore and see how it performs. If it crashes, then you'll know you can't go any lower. But hey, that's me—if you're comfortable with 1.4v, it's okay.
Hi, thank you for your message. I just tried playing my first game with these settings.
It was the Halo Anniversary Edition and it felt quite unusual...
I encountered problems with game vsync on FPS being capped at 30 fps, regardless of the setting I chose—whether low, medium, high, windowed, borderless, or fullscreen.
To fix this, I turned off vsync to let more frames pass, then set it to 60fps and stopped any higher limits to avoid tearing. I increased the settings to high and ran it at 1080p in fullscreen.
The FPS was decent but there was some graininess and occasional tearing. Quickly adjusting all those options changed it to borderless and it ran smoothly.
In fullscreen, 1080p, with vsync off, high settings, and a 60fps limit, everything worked perfectly.
I was wondering if fullscreen actually gives the best performance? Do you know why this issue might occur or if it’s specific to this game?
Also, regarding the 1.4 CPU voltage—was lowering it safe, and should I also adjust other voltages if I change it?
Thanks for your help!
You were right while watching a low resolution stream online, my PC lost its video signal and I had to power off and on. This is unusual since I watched a 4K movie without any problems. What adjustments should I make to improve stability? I’m not very familiar with overclocking, so you should highlight the changes you’d like me to suggest if possible. Thanks.
This one offers a comprehensive resource for testing CPU stability and overclocking: https://forums. Another useful tutorial is available on Ryzen Master: https://www.techspot.com/article/1579-ov...n-3-2200g/ The advantage of the latter is that it allows faster testing in Windows, after which you can adjust settings in BIOS for optimal performance.
Temperature alone isn't the sole cause of crashes or instability during overclocking; factors like frequency range and voltage levels also play a role. Additionally, different CPUs behave differently, which is why discussions about "silicon lottery" occur—some processors can handle higher voltages and frequencies safely, while others require significantly more than 1.4 volts to operate without risk.
I was curious about why I was having trouble since the applied voltage stayed within the manufacturer's specified range. It seems like adjusting some of the voltage could help, right? Maybe the VRAM is a factor because it often causes the display to fail while the PC keeps working? Lights stay on and fans spin.
