overclocking my cpu

brentje0014 · Sep 7, 2017

i know there are allot of topics about this already but i've watched a bunch of tutorials etc and i just can't seem to figure out what to do so thats why i need some help.

in most of the tutorials they talk about vcore voltage but all i see is the
-CPU SA Voltage
-CPU IO Voltage
-DRAM Voltage
-PCH Voltage
and i don't know wich one that i need to change, also if i change the CPU ratio my ring ratio changes with it.

and as last, what is a decent overclock for my system ?
-Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3408 MHz, 4 core('s), 8 logic processor(s)
-16 gb ram
-nvidia gtx 960

scout_03 :

i enabled it and now this is the screen

see if you could raise up ratio of cpu a bit and press try it for ram to see if she will work at 240 but do one of those at the time keep a eye on voltage to stay in safe zone .

scout_03 :

what is the safe zone ? and should i raise the voltage also if i raise my cpu ratio? if i pres memory try it! i can choose from Micron,Hynix and Samsung and they al say ddr4-2133

the max you could get is 3.8 on air cooler but for voltage i would not go over 1.2 volts also check temp it must stay under 71 c on load but you do this overclock at your own risk .

i've set it to 3800 MHz and everything seems to work its now 46 c so thats good also.
is it a problem if the ring ratio changes aswell ? also, do i have to change the CPU SA Voltage to 1.2V then or something else ?

For the Memory try it, because it says ddr4-2133 i can not use it right ?

them keep xmp on use cpu-z spd tab to see if ram run at max jedec you might have to set them manualy also i would monitor temp and voltages using hwinfo that could made a log of all these with fans speed .

brentje0014 · Sep 7, 2017

i downloaded CPU-z and this is what i found

however there is nothing in the SPD

scout_03 · Sep 7, 2017

check for slot 2 and 4 on spd .

brentje0014 · Sep 7, 2017

there is nothing in those slots, and if i validate i come on this

scout_03 · Sep 7, 2017

you cpu limit the ram speed see board maker link for details and they go in slot 2 and 4 on the board for dual channel .

brentje0014 · Sep 7, 2017

sorry but where is the "board maker link" i don't know what you mean by that ( english isn't my native language)

and what do you mean by "cpu limit ram speed"

scout_03 · Sep 7, 2017

this https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B150M-BAZOOKA.html where you could also get latest driver and uefi update with manual of the board .

brentje0014 · Sep 7, 2017

do i have to install any drivers ?

scout_03 · Sep 7, 2017

check the one you have from date you bought the board and if there is newer one install them but i think msi use a live update software for that so get it to check for you .

brentje0014 · Sep 7, 2017

alright i think i finaly did it haha thanks for all the help man this is such a big struggle for me

so here is slot 2

and here is slot4

scout_03 · Sep 8, 2017

from this your ram with xmp run at is max speed there is nothing you could do to go over .
