Overclocking (Main Thread)

Kyle Sanchez4 said:Did you check the memory temps? You should probably send over all the Everest temperature readings while the rig is actually being pushed under load.

I actually bumped the voltage on my RAM from 2.6 up to 2.7 myself, and now when I'm running Everest, the CPU temperatures are somehow showing up lower than the actual core temps—it's reading somewhere around 35-37 degrees while the cores are sitting at 38-42. Honestly, who knows what's going on there.

Your cooler is dying. Back off the clock speed a bit. @stormypuma7/">@@stormypuma7

Same deal with the cooling for Microsoft, though I'm not sure—could be the chipset @darkfalcon9/">@@darkfalcon9

Dropped the FSB down to 230
CPU voltage is sitting at 1.40
FSB/DRAM ratio is set to 9/10
Memory voltage is at 2.6v
LDT/FSB frequency ratio is x4(920)
Idle temps are looking pretty solid, hovering between 25-28C
I'm gonna fire up a game later this afternoon and see how it holds up, then I'll let you guys know how it goes☕

He ran it for over two hours yesterday, then I threw a two-and-a-half-hour torture test at it, and everything held up just fine. So, I guess this is pretty much the ceiling you're looking at if you're sticking with the stock cooler.😠I mean, damn, I was really hoping for something a bit more impressive, but honestly, I can’t deny that there is a noticeable difference here.👍

Could someone walk me through how to overclock a Ryzen 5 5000 series Black Edition on a Gigabyte X570 SLI motherboard? I’ve got the manual right here at this link , so if you could just break down the BIOS settings for me—like where exactly I tweak the multiplier, if I need to bump up the voltage, and anything else essential...
Or, if there’s already a detailed guide somewhere, just let me know which thread it's in. I haven't had the heart to comb through all 69 pages of the manual yet.

Give this a quick read

Hey, thanks. That actually helped me out quite a bit. I just hope I can actually pull this off when the time comes. By any chance, do you know of any other sites for overclocking AMD chips that have photos similar to the one you sent, but specifically for Intel? I mean... I know the BIOS isn't all that different, but still...

You're just tweaking the FSB multiplier. You've got a processor that's practically begging to be overclocked here.

Alright, I think I can handle this. Honestly, I don't see why I couldn't figure it out if I put my mind to it. I actually went ahead and downloaded the manual, and it looks like there's an option for CPU Clock Ratio. I'm assuming that's exactly what I need. It says right there: "Allows you to alter the clock ratio for the installed CPU. The adjustable range is dependent on the CPU being used."
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help me out.

If you look at this link here , there are instructions from the manufacturer, so if you could just explain things based on its BIOS... like where I actually bump up the multiplier, or if I really need to crank up the voltage... basically everything I'll need to do.
And if this has already been explained somewhere else, please just tell me which page it was on, because I haven't exactly combed through all 69 pages yet...

Sorry, but honestly:

I want a new Penryn and which model should I pick? My usage is mainly DFP and I need some brutal clock speeds just to browse forums. Thanks in advance."

Saw this on another forum, but the sentiment is spot on. People who don't have a clue what they're doing—well, maybe they should just stop wasting their time...🙂

By the way, the heat sink gets about 8 cm larger if you grab a high-end C2D and overclock it like crazy, whereas for Intel, the improvement is a tiny 1.72cm... but hey, a win is a win, right?

Anyway, folks, unless you're racing toward a Q6600 and pushing past 4 GHz, you aren't even getting online!👍😁

Honestly, bumping up the multiplier is such a straightforward process; it’s almost as easy as a simple restart. 🙂

And does anyone seriously feel like 2.6GHz isn't enough? Is it really true that "if it isn't 3GHz, it's basically zero processor..."?

Also, you definitely need 8GB of RAM—ideally running 4x2GB sticks. We all know how much memory Firefox can absolutely devour if you let it.

So, what exactly is overclocking?

Hey, can anyone actually help me out with overclocking my ASUS A9550?

Sure. Just don't touch it... unless you have something better than a stock cooler.

Well, why not...
Give it a shot!
LINK!

Does anyone here have any experience overclocking an AMD Athlon 64 3200 +? If not, maybe someone knows if I should just jump straight to the one I'm eyeing for my next upgrade, which is the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+...

Look, do you actually know how to overclock this CPU or not? Either you're an expert or you're clueless.
