Running my WS790 Server with an Intel ARC. Any way to reduce power consumption?

My 10600K processor is reaching temperatures of 70°C at idle and over 100°C with restarts under heavy load. This is happening even with Turbo Boost disabled, all cores set to a ratio of 39, and a negative voltage offset of -0.100.

I don’t know what else to do to get decent temperatures. My cooling is an ID Cooling FrostFlow 240, and it seems to be properly installed. I’m using Arctic MX4 thermal paste.

Any help is welcome.

So I've been using for some year my Ryzen , but now I see now and there that I should consider overclocking.

Maybe there is some tutorial for exact mobo aswell?

System : Ryzen 9 5950x Mob: MSI MAG X570S TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI Ram: Corsair DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB 128GB (4x32GB) DDR4 3600MHz C18 Cooling: AIO 360

I've tried Ryzen Master but doesn't seems that I'd does lot. So idea is to try bios settings .

Hello hello.

I just got back into overclocking after a bit of absence and redid my RAM Oc completely.

-I dont think naming my parts or shit is important for this question so I will let it be for now-

My problem: After now getting my OC done and having it 100% stable I am doing more and more bechnmarks to chwck the performance increase or decrease.

I went from 3600MT/s to 4133MT/s on the same primary and tertiary timings, only slightly more lose secondaries.

However, now the cpu performance (unoverclocked, 100% stable) took a hit while I noticed that according to 30 runs on Aida64 in windows safemode (and their average) the available bandwidth on the new OC of 4133MT/s significantly decreased compared to before. The average displayed bandwidth lies at only 50.000 on Read and around half of that on Write (which makes sense since the cpu is a Ryzen 7 5700x). I tried checking for new updates, bios and chipset, also any programs that may cause issues, and windows but could find nothing. The performance hit is quite big too, especially, and oddly enough in CinebenchR23 and R24, where my maximum scores went down 600 points and 100 points respectively.

Any ideas or fixes are greatly appreciated.

Also sorry for bad english, it is jot my first language.

Has anyone experienced degradation after the latest microcode for 13th and 14th gen? If you have, please say how long you've had your cpu or if it's a fresh rma. Also if you had any OC set and the frequency and vcore you're running at.

this monitor is insane, the clockspeeds it let you run. can probaly hit 600hz if u tune it correctly. im mindblown over what i though was gonna be a 20-40hz oc and i ended up with 550 and it dosent screentare nor stutter. shame my computer dosent push these frames😆

I wanted to make my GPU run faster, cause why not, so I added clock speed without increasing the voltage (cause HP locked it) and this is the maximum stable clocks that I could do, I also added +525MHz on the memory. I am not sure if it is a good curve or not cause I am new in overclocking. I get 8314 points in Time Spy, before the overclock it was like 7500

I’m running my 7800x3d on a negative curve per core and PBO. Max boost I can achieve is a little over 5ghz. Could I get a higher boost by raising the bclk?

Hi guys, i have processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 3.00 GHz, 16 GB RAM. I played fortnite but before few months my processor goes 100% when i play radom games. I dont know what is problem. I have Geaohic Card Nvidia RTX 2060. I tried method on YouTube to increase less usage on my CPU. But didnt work. I dont know is it because pasta or some thing virus or something. I have Avast premium and i doesnt have virus said Avast. Can someone help me bc i thinking to buy a new processor if I dont fine some solution for my problem. Thanks

I have a laptop running windows 11 with an mx450 and an i5 11th gen. I wanted to overclock my gpu. Ive never done it before and I have no clue how to do so, all the videos I watched on the subject told me to use the overclocking scanner in msi afterburner, but I keep getting this error " VEN_10DE&DEV_1F97&SUBSYS_3F9217AA&REV_A1&BUS_43&DEV_0&FN_0" I have allowed access to GPU counters for all apps. How do I fix this, and is there any other way of overclocking it I'm currently getting decent frames but I'm having frequent stutters.

Hi guys.

Unfortunately I couldn't stabilize the system with the RAM at 7800 MHz, so I had to lower the clock to 7600 MHz working on teaming and power supplies.

I'll share the parameters I set in my BIOS:

I hope this post can be useful to someone.

Hello! I got a max-q 4060 automatically undervolted+oc'ed by acer's Nitrosense profile.

My card has a fixed power limit of 85watts and gets overclocked by 100+ mhz on the core clock and 200mhz on the memory when enabling the turbo profile. As I guessed this to be some kind of undervolt+oc, i tried to add 150 mhz more to the clock, the power limit was indeed still locked to 85watts(so the card wasn't drawing more than 85w), but the core did overclock by 250mhz total.

---

I tried doing the same thing with the 70watts profile, where the card get's oc'ced by the same amount of turbo mode, but when i tried adding 150mhz to the clock, the game i was using to test my OC (Alan Wake II) crashed after 30 seconds. Temps still seemed to be the same as with the default profile, and power wattage was fixed to 70.

---

Now, my question is, would the crash at 70w be caused by me making the default uv+oc (applied by Nitrosense) unstable? Can I use the turbo mode's profile wattage limit to try and find a stable oc until i get instability?

I'm sorry for the weird formatting, my english is a bit bad and i didn't know how to ask this question otherwise lol.

Eyo, did i just lost silicone lottery not bein able to go beyond 17 offset all cores ? I know few ppl that got chip that cant even handle 10 tho 😊 im very new to this and been testing for week with different settings, my temps are superior, but when i run occt i get insta death over 17 all cores, llc mode 1

My bios is saying to activate cpu_ov to use exp does this ring a bell for anyone?

Hello , I just did a FurMark test on my 3060 ti 8gb for 20 minutes , and I got a score of 7835 and avg fps of 130, is this good or is it barely good? it didn't crash or restart during the test so I assume it's good right? because recently I've been having blue screens and my stream would crash and lag, in addition to hardware errors on the reliability history so I tested ram, cpu, and gpu and all seem fine. I formatted my pc and did the test , and here's the result:

Are there any improvements to be made? Not looking for max OC. My 6400 will not run in gear 1, so looking for tightest Gear1 6000m/t settings.

Hello,

After upgrading from 5600x to 5950x the temperatures are somewhat of concern for me, especially when watching youtube or another light load I can occasionaly notice the processor hitting 95+ celsius degrees on stock bios settings.

idle temperatures

ccd1 30celsius

ccd2 40celsius

setup is

5950x

x570s edge max wifi (2024-09-09 bios)

corsair rm1000x gold

rtx 3080 rog strix

F4-3200c14-8gfx 4x8gb

Cooling with peerless assassin 140 (also tested with liquid freezer 360, also observed spikes to 90c)

6 cases fans, side and bottom intake, rear exhaust.

H6 flow case

BIOS modifications currenty applied to reduce temperatures:

ECO 65w mode

Curve optimizer. 14 cores at -25, 2 cores at 0

RAM timings

Ram timings

CASE

H6 FLOW

For stability testing I use OCCT. Even after 65w eco mode and negative curve optimizer offset, I can see the temperatures spiking up to 90c

OCCT settings

OCCT settings

HWINFO64 during 5min occt run

hwinfo64 temperature measurement

I can also use eco 95w mode, but that one has higher temperatures than eco 65w mode

Hi everyone, just got back into PC territory after several years and while waiting for the new GPUs, I want to fine tune my CPU+RAM as much as possible. Currently using 9800x3D (stable with -28 negative all core offset to the best of my stability testing abilities) + Kingston 2x32GB RAM sticks (Expo 6000MHZ CL30) which I manually tuned based on Buildzoid timings + experimenting with CL28 (so far is stable as well) however, AIDA64 gives me a memory latency of around 71ms + READ of 63GB/s, WRITE of 88GB/S.

Any ideas what I should try next? I keep seeing latency around 65ns on other reddit posts with faster reads and writes, but not sure if its just an X3D thing.

Thank you!

Using a 7950X3D...is this a good result you think?

I was able to overclock to 6400mhz with pretty tight timings on the new Bios version 3057 (stable).

Before that I was at 62,7 ns.

Can someone who has experience using liquid metal as a thermal paste replacement please advise? I want to use liquid metal on my Intel i9 13900KS, but I am not sure if there is any risk in the liquid metal dripping down over time, as my PC is stood up vertically in a tower case. I have watched a lot of videos and researched all I can. Nobody seems to mention this fairly simple and obvious concern. I understand that the layers of liquid metal on the IHS and cooler should be very minimal and should not contain anything that can form “drops”. I also know they use it in PS5’s (with some issues in the past), so presumably kids can own the console and never service it. Can I assume it will never drip or move around if applied properly? (My apologies if the wires behind my PC trigger people)

I need a little help I have 2 DDR4 which are 32gb both are 2400hz but still showing 2400 on task manager. I can’t enable XMP but I can change the vram in settings to 3200hz I have no clue with pc’s I really need help😂 if this makes any sense to you guys. Please ask questions. Motherboard is z390-f cpu is intel i9-9900k

I’m pretty new to overclocking and undervolting, but issues with Intel’s 13th/14th-gen CPUs have pushed me into it. About two years ago, I built a PC with a 13th-gen i7, which developed issues over time. I was relieved when Intel acknowledged this problem and upgraded me to a 14th-gen i9. Knowing these CPUs have their quirks, I decided to play it safe and applied an undervolt following Buildzoid’s guide for ASUS Z790 boards with the 14900K. It’s been running well, but now I’m seeing some issues I’d love your input on:

after updating bios and going from the x129 microcode to the x12b i am seeing some odd behaviour in HWinfo:

All p-cores are boosting to 6100 mhz during idle

Elevated temperatures on all cores during CB23 - multiple hitting max temps

Hardware:

14900K

Asus prime Z790P wifi BIOS Version: 1802

Undervolt:

LLC Level 6

AC/DC Loadlines synced at 0.49

Voltage limit of 1400 mv adaptive svid with a negative offset of 110mv

Any insights or advice on addressing these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help!

So I've had my PC for about 4 years and I'm planning on upgrading in near future. I wanna try and play with OC/Undervolting and all but I'm totally new and clueless about this. I've got R5 1600 | 580 Sapphire Nitro+ (Enabled BIOS mode if that makes some difference)

https://preview.redd.it/kjivhlbte20e1.png?width=1133&format=png&auto=webp&s=63fbf4820d0945be7df48482be4f5e6b89e059cd

I realize every card is a bit different so I'll have to test it a bit myself. As I said previously I'm not well versed in playing with OC/BIOS settings so I was hoping for some guidelines.

I have some changes from 4y ago when I bought the PC, basically copy-pasted someone else's settings while having 0 clue what I was doing (pretty stupid tbh). I have no problems to this day (None that I know off)

What should I research and maybe some starting values I should try and change.

My red devil ultimate has a memory junction temperature reported only on hwinfo64. During 3d mark speed way the sensor goes up to 80-82c, during port royal it stays around 70c or any game I test? Are these temps acceptable? Hwinfo says this sensor is fine up to 105c.

It's a long story and maybe my visible other posts will provide more context but TLDR version. Can I turn off an undervolt I made on my now broken gpu using another gpu installed in my system? Managed to get my PC to boot using an old gpu and I thought maybe turning off the undervolt might fix my main one.
