Overclocking Q & A Section

  Good pm! need help on overclocking my Computer. I currently have:
  Ryzen 5 1600
  Asus strix B350 f gaming
  8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400mhz
  Galax GTX 1060 6GB
  FSP Raider 550w
  
  All of them are running on stock.

  Want to OC my Ryzen 5 to 3.6 but i don't know how to set up the voltage, afraid too try and raise the voltage without asking any advise, and my ram is not running at its advertised speed, should be at 2400MHz but instead it's running at 2133MHz. Tried inputting the timings but i don't know which is which. Just want a mild OC dont really want to increase the clock to the point that it would double the heat of my computer, as it gets hot in my room during summer.
  And can i overclock the ram without overclocking my CPU and Vice-versa?
  And can anyone tell if this PSU is good? As this is my first time trying it.
  Here are some additional screenshots from the BIOS

  BTW i also have the latest bios version.
  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Guys,
  
  So I overclocked my 7700k to 4.8GHz using manual voltage: 1.225 in UEFI (XMP profile also enabled to attain 3200MHz)
  
  Manual Voltage: 1.225
  C States: Disabled
  SVID: Disabled
  
  Good enough na kayo ito for 24/7 usage? And what settings should I tweak pa?
  
  Stress tested using Aida64 (Pls refer below), FireStrike stress tested, TimeSpy stress tested, ran Unigine Valley for 3 hrs and no crashes at all. I also played some games (Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Mass Effect: Andromeda)
  
  Specs for reference:
  Proc: i7 7700k
  Cooling Solution: Corsair H100i v2 (Rad fans changed to Corsair ML120)
  RAM: G.Skill Trident Z (3200Mhz, 16GB/x2 8GB)
  Mobo: Asus Strix Z270e

  Made some updates:
  
  Adaptive mode
  Vcore: 1.225
  AC DC: 0.01
  LLC: Level 4
  
  Needed to set the LLC to Level 4 as I encountered crash/BSOD in Adaptive mode upon Aida64 stress test.

  Question lang mga OC masters.
  
  Very minimal lang ba ang dagdag kapag GPU lang ang OCed? Sa akin kasi sa Asus 1060 6GB mga 1-2FPS lang on OCed nadagdag based on Metro Redux Benchmark, LOL. or depende din sa games?

  Dahil din yan sa Nvidia Boost 3.0 na parang automatic self-overclocking ng Pascal GPU. So kung i-overclock mo pa yung ASUS GTX 1060 mo halos wala na masyadong performance increase kasi sagad narin ang clockspeed ng GPU.
  
  Subukan mo sir taasan ang VRAM speeds, minsan mas malaki ang performance increase makukuha mo kung i-overclock mo both GPU and VRAM together. Pero ingat lang sa VRAM overclock kasi mas sensitive ang VRAM at madalas hindi maganda ang cooling ng VRAM chips.

  ^Thanks sir.
  
  By the way, ano pala gamit niyo for stability test when you OC CPU, GPU, memory and all? And gaano katagal para masabing stable na siya? AIDA 64 ok na?

  For CPU and memory stability testing, gamit ko is Prime95 version 29.1 build 14. Yung ginagawa ko lang is run Prime95 Blend then iwanan ko siya running for half a day to overnight. Just make sure lang na mataas ang fan speeds or keep the side panel open para hindi kulangin sa cooling. Kung after 4-6 hours or more at wala naman dropped na threads, to me that is stable enough for 24/7 use.
  
  BTW hindi naman kailangan overnight kasi sayang din ang power consumption, nagiging overnight lang sometimes yung stress test kasi I fall asleep mid-way during testing hehe... What I suggest is run the stress test, watch maybe 1-2 movies on the side and check the temps of the PC every so often.
  
  Sa videocard naman, I did not overclock the GPU at all kasi medyo sagad narin yung Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 and I think hindi na siya worth overclocking further. Pero kung overclocked din ang GPU, ginagawa ko before is run Unigine Valley kasabay ng Prime95 ng half a day or overnight din. Also make sure na yung fan speeds ng videocard are at high RPM para hindi kulangin sa cooling. Personally hindi ako mahilig sa GPU overclocking kasi budget videocards lang binibili ko and I want them to last as long as possible.
  
  This is a very good guide for stability testing sa Prime95: <click here for link> but yung gamit ko lang na monitoring tool is HWiNFO64 and not Core Temp.

  Hi All,
  
  pahelp naman i undervolt si R5 3600. Using Ryzen master naka OC sya 4.2ghz and undervolt to 1.2v ginaya ko lang sa youtube. Stable naman sya.
  
  Idle temp is 36-38c pag full load 80c and above. Pero pag undervolt sa ryzen master bumababa sya up to 60-70 lang.
  concern ko lang kasi sa ryzen master need mo pa iLoad yun profile kaya gusto ko sana sa bios para nakasave na talaga sya as default.
  
  My build
  
  MOBO: MSI x570 gaming plus
  RAM: 16gb 3200mhz ram
  PSU: seasonic 650 gold
  GPU: rtx 2060 gaming z
  Cooler: Byski 240mm
  Case: coolman robin 2
  Case fans: 7 pcCooler corona plus 2 sa aio

  Mga boss totoo ba na hindi mo ramdam masyado pinag bago pag kinabitan ng rx570 si ryzen 5 3400g?

  Pa share naman ng OC settings nyo sa Ryzen 3 3100. Currently at 4.2ghz @ 1.31v
