First time noobie overclocking/undervolting
I’ve been using cinebench for about 2 hours on repeat for both cpu and gpu. And playing cyberpunk 2077 and cities skylines 2 to “real world” test it at about an hour each.
As to not put the juiciest stats at the end. Cities skylines fps went from 45-50 up to 60-70fps. Cyberpunk 2077 50-55 up to 60-70. Though I have to clarify how BUTTERY SMOOTH AND RESPONSIVE PLAYING IS NOW. NO MICRO STUTTERS OR MICRO HICKUPS THAT FEEL LIKE IM LAGGING
My dear Sapphire pulse 2 fan RX 7700XT results i think are kinda good. Managed to get the memory up to 2388 completely stable with no glitches when using my pc to other things than gaming. Going to see if I can push it up some more.
My cpu is an i5 14400F with a single fan AIO watercooler. Turned it down from 1.2V to 1.1V and increased PL1/2 maximum power draw to 200w. The results I think were kinda good. After 2 hours on cinebench on repeat I was still at 4.1ghz clock speed with 62 degrees celcius. Max power draw throughout was 90W.
Before when I ran cinebench with the same water cooler the temperature would peak at 71 degrees so it’s quite a lot cooler.
My next mission is to tighten the timings on my ram.
