Stock CPU vs Overclocked & Stock GPU vs Overclocked

Forward: I know that 60 FPS is a silly goal…my system can run a solid 30 with no problems at all with everything on Ultra…but…60 just feels soooooo good. I’m curious about overclocking. Currently running an i7-10700K at 5.3Ghz and solid as a rock. It’s on an MSI Z490 Gaming Plus MOBO, with an EVGA 360 AIO cooler. HT is off, and it runs very well. Temps never get above 65C and average around 54-55C. The weird thing is, I’ll find myself CPU bound in situations where I wasn’t before with a 4790 at…

CTD and Overclocking and Undervolting

I’m just curious as I see people saying they get CTDs all the time. I do get them too but it is rare. Out of curiousity, for those who are getting frequent CTDs, are you overclocking or undervolting? I just want to establish a pattern as I believe much of the CTDs are related to people undervolting or overclocking. Other possibility is running diagnostics in the background such as HWmonitor or MSI Afterburner etc. Anyone who is not getting CTDs…I assume you are not undervolting, overclockin…

Curious about overclocking, looking for safe guidance

The GPU is a Gigabyte RTX 3060 Gaming OC and the PSU is a Seasonic Prime 750w gold, all sitting in a Be Quiet Pure …

No overclocking with FS2020?

Recent upgrade to Intel i9-11900K CPU, ROG Maximus XIII Hero MB, 32GB Ram, RTX3090 GPU. I am aware of the CTD’s with some add-on’s in the community folder. Not using Developer mode. Latest FS2020 build and ALL drivers updated. Latest Win 10. The system arrived already overclocked, FS2020 completely shut down the system, blue screen of death, and re-started! The PC Supplier helped me to reduce the OC to minimum, about 10-15% OC. Again FS2020 shuts the system down! NO OC, and the CPU has to ru…
