  1. Hello friend, I have 2x16gb 6000mhz but everytime i turn on xmp the pc doesnt get video and I have to clear cmos to use it once again.
    My configs
    Ryzen 9 7950x
    X670 aorus elite ax

    Which config i need to do? Im really a newbie into this hardware stuff, if you can help me please

  2. 5:42 CPU Vcore 1.25 Volts to achieve clocks above 5950 Mhz it's impossbile, You need at least 1.414 Volts overclocking CPU-s rise core voltages that's a law decreasing CPU voltages limit the CPU frequency what are you doing ?? leave it to Auto let the motherboard decide !

  3. I have the same prozessor but the B650 Aorus Pro AX (X670) Board. The BIOS looks very same. Everytime when i turn on XMP/EXPO in the BIOS an reboot i get the disguisting bluescreen.
    I use 32GB (2x16GB) G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR5 PC 6600 CL34 KIT F5-6600J3440G16GX2-TZ5RK.

    Which parameters i have to change to have the RAM sticks working?

  4. I have the same processor, but on an ASUS x670e Crosshair Hero. Could I apply these per core numbers, or would I need to make some adjustments? Right now I think I have all cores set to "10", but it feels like I have some more room to play with here….. Thanks!

  5. I have 7950x and the same motherboard but I don't have the Async CPU/PCIe Clock parameter. Is that connected to bios version or? Also I cannot put 107.75 Mhz, it rounds up the value to 108 Mhz automatically, is there anywhere to change that in the settings?

  6. I have Gigabyte B650E Aorus Master motherboard paired with 7950x and I get black screens under heavy load such as Corona Benchmark and Prime95 (small FFTs). I haven't overclocked anything and I haven't changed anything in the BIOS (it's at factory defaults). Any idea what might be causing this? CPU and VRM temps are normal when the issue occurs (checked with hwinfo64). I have 360 AIO Arctic Liquid Freezer II. I tried the latest BIOS too without any change.

  7. You never fail to amaze me with your OC knowledge! I can't wait to try this out. But first, does B650E Aorus Master have the "Async CPU/PCIe Clock" setting in BIOS? I bought this motherboard so hopefully yes. 🙂

  8. I’m wanting to try overclocking for the first time, if I were to use the BIOS on the x670e crosshairs; would I still be able to apply these same settings?

  9. This man is a treasure. I'm pulling the trigger on a 7950x with the Black Friday sales and this guide really gave me the confidence that it's a good choice. Thank you.

  10. The settings that you told us to use are quite dangerous. You most likely could kill your CPU like that. Plus: i got like 2000 less points compared to CO negative 30.

  11. I used your guide to OC my 7950x. I am a newb to OC'ing. However after following your tutorial I had to reset CMOS to boot my PC. Obviously the OC was too much. Any tips on getting the CPU stable? What should I reduce? Thanks!

    Edit: I am on the latest x670e aorus master drivers and latest chipset.
