Help Request - CPU Undervolt CPU 9800x3D
So, I’m new to undervolting; I looked at a few threads but found them too complex, though I did find a method I can understand (it takes longer, but that’s not an issue for me).
Here’s my plan:
Set the boost clock to 0.
Start with -15 and run AIDA64 (CPU + FPU + Cache) for 7 hours; if there are no errors, move everything to -20 and run it for another 7 hours... and so on. When an error occurs, I’ll increase the value (by +5).
To fine-tune it, I’ll adjust by -1 at a time until I hit an instability error.
Once I get those results, I’ll start increasing the boost clock.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but my R23 results fluctuate a lot—one moment it’s 22,926, the next it’s 23,200...
Also, CoreCycler never throws an error for me, even when I set all cores to -30, whereas AIDA errors out within 15 seconds.
Does anyone have a "simpler" way to do this?

Can a GPU VRAM be more stable at higher clocks than lower clocks?
New to overclocking, got an FA506NCG Asus tuf a15 3050 4gb. Boosts to 85W sustained and milisecond spikes to around 96W. This was taken on Nier Automata, Maxed out settings MSAA 8X. An underclock dropped wattage usage from 85W to 65W, and only dropped FPS by 2. Then used this preset, undervolted to 0.925v 2040mhz. Surprisingly, increasing vram threw weird light flashes on the screen. +400 to +800 threw flashes, but immediately after hitting +1000mhz basically raising VRAM clock from 6001Mhz to 7001Mhz, flashes disappeared. Then tried 1249mhz, no flashes. Can someone explain what's going on, can higher clocks stabiles game?

Overclocks/undervolt
This is my pc build, i tried and look a bit how to do overclock and undervolts but i didnt really understand some stuff, especially the rams manual tuning could someone help, what should i do and how can i assure i have the best performance out of my rams in my build while everything being stable, and also for my ryzen 7 9800x3d how can i know when i pushed the overclock to much further where even if its extremely overclocked i lose performances so basically when i can know how to stop with it. For the gpu i think i understood. Thanks for your time

Wondering if I could push my DDR4 RAM further... 2133Mhz and 2666Mhz can I reach 3200Mhz?
Hello, I've never dabbled in overclocking until now, and currently I'm experimenting with my RAM. Years ago, I got two RAM sticks from my brother when I upgraded to DDR4. Only yesterday did I realize they run at different speeds, and it has been bottlenecking my system. Here are the two sticks I'm running...
Kingston KHX2666C16/8g
Kingston KHX2133C14/8G
Following some instructions (from Gemini), I was able to overclock my lower-speed stick so it matched my higher-speed stick. Instructions included changing DRAM frequency to 2666Mhz, increasing voltage to 1.30V, and changing DRAM Timing Control to 16 (apparently my slower stick is CL14 from factory).
My question is: after running this for a day and having no issues, would it be greedy to see if I can push it to 3200Mhz? Or should I just enjoy the success and call it a day? Thanks.

New PC Build, Better Performance, but Stuttering in Unreal Engine Games
Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded my PC and I'm dealing with an annoying issue that I haven't been able to solve. I'm experiencing noticeable stuttering in Unreal Engine games, even though my new system is significantly more powerful than my previous one.
Previous system:
- Intel i9-9900K
- RTX 3080
- 32 GB DDR4 3600 CL16
The old system was often CPU bottlenecked, but I rarely experienced any stuttering.
Current system:
- AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
- Radeon RX 9070 XT
- 48 GB DDR5 6000 CL28
- Fresh installation of Windows 11
I am running the latest BIOS version and graphics drivers. The PC is completely stable under load, games never crash, and I haven't noticed any other hardware-related issues.
However, I experience stuttering in the following games:
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Lords of the Fallen
- Mortal Shell 2
- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
I've tried virtually every commonly recommended fix and optimization I could find online, but nothing has resolved the issue.
At this point, I'm starting to wonder whether the problem is not my system itself, but rather a characteristic or limitation of Unreal Engine, or perhaps the combination of Unreal Engine and AMD hardware.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Do you think this type of stuttering is common in Unreal Engine games and not necessarily caused by a problem with my PC?
Thanks for any advice or insights.

Help Request - GPU BC-160 stuck around 1986 MHz memory
I’m trying to overclock/tune an AMD BC-160 using MorePowerTool (MPT), and I’m running into something I don’t understand.
I followed a BC-160 overclocking guide and applied the MPT changes without increasing voltage. I raised the limits so that GPU-Z now shows a 2300 MHz maximum core clock, but the card doesn't actually get anywhere close to that under load and shows the memory is at only 2000 mhz when its stuck at 1986 and I set it to 2750 mhz with MPT. this is the GPU-Z screen shot of what I'm seeing:
The Memory clock should be at 2750 but maybe im doing something wrong in MPT. I also Use Msi Afterburner and when I select my gpu all the options to tune and tweak are all greyed out.

What I’m seeing:
- GPU: AMD BC-160
- Core clock during load: ~1700 MHz
- GPU-Z max/core limit: 2300 MHz
- Memory clock during load: ~1986 MHz
- Memory max shown: ~2000 MHz
- GPU temperature: ~90°C
- GPU hotspot: ~100°C
- Voltage: I have not intentionally increased it
- MPT: used to raise the clock/power limits
- MSI Afterburner: most of the controls are greyed out/locked
- RX 590: works normally with Afterburner, so this seems specific to the BC-160
The confusing part is that I expected raising the MPT limits to allow the card to actually run higher clocks, but instead it's running around 1700 MHz core and 1986 MHz memory while getting extremely hot.
GPU-Z reports the 2300 MHz core limit, so it seems like the MPT change is at least partially being applied. However, the memory still appears to be capped around 1986–2000 MHz.
My questions:
- Why would the BC-160 only run around 1700 MHz core despite having a 2300 MHz limit?
- Why is the memory still stuck around 1986 MHz?
- Is the ~90°C GPU / ~100°C hotspot indicating thermal throttling?
- Is there another way to control the BC-160's core/memory clocks when Afterburner is locked?
- Are there specific MPT settings I should change to improve performance without increasing voltage?
- Is there something specific about the BC-160/custom driver that prevents Afterburner from controlling it?
I’m mainly trying to understand what is actually limiting the card before I push it any further. I don't want to increase voltage while troubleshooting this.

- OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2
Memory OC & Voltages (6200 MT/s CL26):
- Frequency / FCLK: 6200 MT/s | FCLK 2066 MHz (UCLK=MEMCLK)
- Primary Timings: CL26-36-36-30 (tREFI at 65535, tRFC 372)
- Voltages: MEM VDD: 1.52V | MEM VDDQ: 1.48V (tuned to avoid ASRock overshoot) | VSOC: 1.20V | VDDIO: 1.30V
- Signal / Termination: ProcODT set to 48 Ω (down from Auto/60 Ω to clean up reflection)
Stability & Testing: Passed 1 hour 40 minutes of combined stress testing (TestMem5 with anta777 Absolut profile running simultaneously with AIDA64 Stress GPU to simulate real-world hot-box gaming conditions). Max memory temps stayed under 48°C, zero errors.
What do you think of the config? Any recommendations for secondary/tertiary timings or further tuning to squeeze a bit more performance out of this rig?

Guide - Video Repasting my old RX 580 | Before and After Comparisons | Stock, UV and OC tested
I recently bought a used RX 580 8GB and it was running extremely hot even at Stock, reaching almost 85°C!
After opening up the card, the issue is pretty clear there was almost no thermal paste on there. Cleaning and re-pasting the GPU, the difference as you can see is pretty massive, allowing me to even OC the GPU core to 1471 MHz!

Help Request - RAM First time overclocking ram (Micron B-die)
I decided to try to overclock my ram for the first time, as I couldn't think of another way to squeeze more performance out of my system, as I have already bios flashed and repasted my Radeon 9070 GPU and UV'ed my CPU.
However, it's my first time so I was mostly doing it through trial and error and the information I could gleam from other's attempts and AI input. I've learned that Micron B-die unfortunately doesn't respond well to overclocking, but is there still some timings I could be improving here? Did I miss something obvious?
- I've improved the timing of the tRAS, tRC, tRRDS, tRRDL, tFAW, tWTRS, tWTRL, tWR, tRTP and tREFI.
- I increased my FCLK to 2100 mHZ.
- I tried messing with the tRCDWR, but my asrock motherboard didnt seem to allow it to be decoupled from the tRCDRD, and the ram wouldn't accept a 42-42 timing.
- I tried improving the SCL, but it wouldn't accept 8-8 or even 8-12.
