I know this is an older video but a bit of advice. The overclock profile from these companies often runs with some very high voltages. I would HIGHLY recommend doing some stress testing while monitoring the temps to make certain your temps are reasonable. High temps can lead to your cpu thermal throttling; leading to worse performance and shorter lifespan.
A constant 1.4 v on a "Regular use" CPU is Insane... I was able to Run my Ryzen 7 2700x to 4.3ghz constant Rock steady, no crashes with a 1.375v and every time I tried the CPU Boost the V numbers where all over the place along with Temperatures. From 1.425 v to Red numbers on HW Monitor. You are 100% right there.
@@alexzero3736 Throttling occurs when temperatures get too high. The motherboard detects this and lowers the clock/voltages to protect the cpu. Still occurs on all modern day systems.
@@DanicolasolGamingTVuruguay I get some crazy temps with the cpu boost especially when running prime95.

Everyone has their own liking for setting up fan curves, but what I did was set the CPU fan curve and one fan port curve to match. Then used a 4 pin PWM fan controller that I hook up all my fans then hook the controller up to that one fan port on the board. As the CPU fan rises so does all the other fans to match. I know some claim negative air flow is best, but for me I'd rather have zero air flow restriction as much as possible... but that's just my opinion.
The reason to have fans separate is to be able to set a neutral pressure in the case. A little positive pressure is best, but a negative pressure bad. And a neutral pressure is what you should be going for.
My MSI Tomahawk B450 motherboard has a "Game Mode" setting for CPU Boost. Turning that on gave a 600 MGZ boost and resulted in the after-market CPU fan going nuts. Sounded like a 747 firing up for takeoff. Went back to the "off" setting pretty quick.

My msi b450 max setup my 3.6ghz cpu to 4.4 ghz by default and in the OC option i set the ram to its speed. The problem is the cpu ran fine but in games was jerky until i changed the cpu to 3.6 ghz and let turbo do all the overclocking. I don't use xmp and my ram run at 3200mhz what it's rated for. It also reports 3200mhz in task manager. So no, you dont need xmp at least on my mobo. The systen is now stable and doesn't overheat. For some reason mobo manufacturers set your cpu to run at their highest speeds and burn out your system.
I have to warn you, please do not use cpu boost in your bios. It can set your CPU voltage to dangerous levels and even cause degradation of CPU core. Any voltage over 1,4V is dangerous. You can easy watch some RUclips videos from most popular content creators about overvolting Cpu, and how to properly overclock/boost your cpu

Why would some of those options to click on in the advanced setting not be available? Both mine and your bios is the same. For instance in Power management setup I don't have the usb standby power option to click on.

I run i9 13900k and when activating that default MSI CPU OC my game freeze (sometimes the whole OS) with warzone 1 and 2. Previously i had i9 9900k with an older MSI motherboards and i also had exactly the same issue making that OC fonctionnality unusable in my case. It is also AIO cooled (previously 240mm Corsair and now 360mm NZXT)
i have a lenovo motherboard and as far as i know it is up to date but i don't have any settings like this, any ideas where i can install the proper gaming bios?
You said “everything’s fine aslong as you don’t change voltage” im so lost on what you mean there, what settings change the voltage so I know not to change them. Does changing the CPU Game Boost to on and your CPU cooler tuner to water cooling (if you have one) does that effect Voltage?
I like MSI Memory Try It. It is pretty handy as I don't like to putz around with timings myself. MSI boards also recover from bad memory settings without having to clear your bios most times.
Same question. I have been trying to figure out why I cannot access XMP Profile 2. As like the video screen, it is blacked out. Does anybody know how to make it come "alive?" No amount of Googling or ChatGPT'ng has come to a resolution.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out what is going on with my RAM. I have an MSI board. I enable XMP (the RAM is rated at 3200Mhz), and no matter what the system will not POST until I clear CMOS.
@@christopheralvarez1090 I did, actually. To run 4 sticks I had to buy 4 at the same time. Reading other's issues sometimes, even the exact same brand of RAM just doesn't work together if bought separately. I guess the actual modules differ enough if they have different manufacturers.
@@ronlouthain913 sound about right glad it worked ! I’m dealing with two Corsair vengeance sticks that can go up to 6000 MHz, but only can go up to 56 before they start to not post.

Great video, thanks for putting this out for us. How is the BIOS OC video coming along. Really looking forward to what you have found out. Thanks again.
For me it was, I have an R7 1700x and the temps would be extremely high when it was enabled. Disabled it and got cooler temps with no noticeable performance impact
These settings should be on by default. I just purchased an MSI MPG 790 Carbon motherboard, these settings were enabled by default. This is an older video which makes sense, doensn't hurt to double-check,.
A few months back I realised I'm a criminal. I have a high end pc I got in 2021. And this whole time I wasnt running XMP. My pc was choking THIS WHOLE TIME
I prefer to build a system for a specific play resolution of adequate power/quality running stock that I don't need to stress components with overclocking. I also build them so I don't have to touch/upgrade them for their designated lifetime of use (or beyond to whoever will end up using it when I move to my next system). I'm currently building a 1440p system this month, & retiring my still-rocking 1080p 2019 gaming build system. My 1440p build will pair the efficient little powerhouse Ryzen 9 7900 12C/24T GPU with the cool, quiet running ASUS TUF version of the 7800 XT, since those two are a great pair for a no-bottleneck robust 1440p gaming system.
It's such a shame that MSI have gone so far downhill. Their BIOS' and motherboards are so problematic now and shouldn't be recommended. Especially with the bloatware that they push on users, such as MSI Center.
Any recommended settings for i9-10850k chip @5ghz Literally no youtube video explainins how to overclock it correctly they all just do a couple simple things and boom overclocked chip but my problem is that im doing all that but still not getting good performance its like its not even overclocked
can anyone confirm if the change to the pcie lanes are worth it considering that while it may increase storage performance it may increase the CPU overhead
we did not pay overclocking. its cost of default and its fastest of world if it fastest default. no need burn expensive parts. play 1080 max graphics if want bcoz you can. limit frames bcoz u will not see more than 60 anyway. its tested. u not see naked woman on 1 frame its just flash u not see it
Small warning to future people: XMP is an overclocking feature and turning it on can cause system instability, void your CPU warranty and may require some fiddling to get just right. Really make sure you know your CPUs maximum memory speed, as well as your RAMs max speed and its compatability (if its Intel XMP or AMD Expo). In my case, the default XMP Profile boosted the memory speed too high and caused some LEDs on the Motherboard to turn on, while also significantly slowing down boot time. And for general purpose computer usage and normal gaming, you usually don't need XMP enabled.
I appreciate this comment, everyone has the slow mentality hearing through the grapevine. “More power better performance 🥴” when that isn’t the case I enabled XMP on my MSI CLICK BIOS 5 and it’s hard crashing my game every 5 minutes. Thank you again for this info.
hello, friend, I have this same motherboard along with an i5 12600k, and 16g ram Kingston3200. updated bios. but the game boost and per core options in the bios are disabled. can you help me please. thanks
So when you set up a manual overclock, save and exit.. and your content with it. Does turning off cpu boost just turn off the overclock but keep the settings if you turn it on?

OMG THANK YOU i have a rtx 4090 and later on i needed my bios to be updated and i couldn’t understand it and i turned it in to a computer shop and ever since i got it back apex was blue screening my pc and this fixed it thank you!!!!!! You just earned a sub
My msi b450 max setup my 3.6ghz cpu to 4.4 ghz by default and in the OC option i set the ram to its speed. The problem is the cpu ran fine but in games was jerky until i changed the cpu to 3.6 ghz and let turbo do all the overclocking. I don't use xmp and my ram run at 3200mhz what it's rated for. It also reports 3200mhz in task manager. So no, you dont need xmp at least on my mobo. The systen is now stable and doesn't overheat. For some reason mobo manufacturers set your cpu to run at their highest speeds and burn out your system.
I have to warn you, please do not use cpu boost in your bios. It can set your CPU voltage to dangerous levels and even cause degradation of CPU core. Any voltage over 1,4V is dangerous. You can easy watch some RUclips videos from most popular content creators about overvolting Cpu, and how to properly overclock/boost your cpu
where in bios do you turn off cpu boost
I just found this video as I was browsing some overclocking videos. Very helpful but I was wondering if you had further details on specifically overclocking with that z 690 MSI motherboard on 12th gen CPUs? I previously only overclocked with Asus boards so the MSI layout is quite different and I'm a little nervous to do it without an instructional video.
my msi b450 gaming plus max motherboard has an option for game boost which i turned on and now my pc won’t even start up
Im always trying to get your bios because on my x470 gaming pro carbon i just have the regular click bios that looks no way near yours mine is just called msi click bios and i recall having access to the one shown on your tutorial and dunno if my version is the latest or not im lost tbh.
Try EZ mode top right
you might want to make sure your CPU cooler is up to the CPU oc.
OR....(now check this out), what about rendering the CR3 deplete of the Gx44?

Depending on which cpu you have, turning on the cpu boost might not be a good idea. I wouldn't recommend with a 7800X3D, for example.
Well the good news is that after I reset the Cmos then just ticked the XMP button and Upgraded to a 2TB M.2 SSD with a fresh install of Win 10 my system now runs smoothly! 😅
In my opinion if you wanted to design a bios system that is not at all intuitive, that has different information everywhere, this would be it.
AMD already has the CPU clocked to the max with PBO and everything enabled by default, just hit the ram profile and save it and thats about it.
Hey man. I put all the settings you listed. I am using rtx 3070 with i5-11600k but my gpu usage keeps being stuck at 50%.. I don’t know what to do.
It's your ram ,it's chalked.
Just stumbled upon this video but holy amazing video. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
M.2_1 PCIe lanes source option ain't showing in my BIOS. I am using MSI B450M Pro M2 Max Motherboard.
Great video! Can this be done too with MSI H97 Gaming 3 ?
Huh, I do have a amd 5 3600 and at the xmp profile it shows DDr4 3000MHZ how do I fix that?
HELLO GRAY! You are my go to guy for MSI! I recently built my last system with an MSI Z390-A Pro with an Intel Pentium Gold Coffee Lake G5400 Duel Core 3.7Ghz Processor! 64 GB DDR4 3200 Ram and a GeForce GTX 1650 Video Card! I use this system for Adobe Video Editing! Besides ticking the XMP & GAME BOOST button with FAN set to Auto, what else can I do to Overclock this system? I was told by MSI that This is basically a budget gaming board that cannot be manually overclocked? Any advise Would be greatly appreciated!
Why would some of those options to click on in the advanced setting not be available? Both mine and your bios is the same. For instance in Power management setup I don't have the usb standby power option to click on.
you have a newer version
Wow I'm very glad I came across your channel. Thank you for this vid. 👍 !!!
ive been trying to get this message across to folks for literal years. OCing is not dumb. Expecting it to turn your PC into god mod is dumb. Learning how to talk to your hardware and correct these one size fits all set and forget default configs or a mobos "we need the highest clocks so it advertises better, who cares if it could blow the cpu into pieces". Educate yaself before you conflagrate yaself. yaself.
just wanna know how can u screen record the bios?
Capture card.
I run i9 13900k and when activating that default MSI CPU OC my game freeze (sometimes the whole OS) with warzone 1 and 2. Previously i had i9 9900k with an older MSI motherboards and i also had exactly the same issue making that OC fonctionnality unusable in my case. It is also AIO cooled (previously 240mm Corsair and now 360mm NZXT)
Me2
Maybe me also. Just firing it up.
Me tooooo I’ve been dealing with this problem forever my pc eventually crashes within 20 min
Yeah… My Gaming plus matches none of these options. Blows my mind how different a bios can be.
I’m sorry my friend, but I’ve never seen one of your live Steams!! What do you steam most?? Carrots, broccoli, onions?? 😂

Underrated channel
I have a liquid cooler by MSI but the bios doesn’t have the Fan Cooler option
i have a lenovo motherboard and as far as i know it is up to date but i don't have any settings like this, any ideas where i can install the proper gaming bios?
You said “everything’s fine aslong as you don’t change voltage” im so lost on what you mean there, what settings change the voltage so I know not to change them. Does changing the CPU Game Boost to on and your CPU cooler tuner to water cooling (if you have one) does that effect Voltage?
My M.2 has the OS on it, should I still enable the CPU lane?
I assume yes, as most install the OS on a M.2 that’s in the first pcie
Im installing m2 nvme for my game storage. What setting on the bios should I tweak?
I like MSI Memory Try It. It is pretty handy as I don't like to putz around with timings myself. MSI boards also recover from bad memory settings without having to clear your bios most times.
I don't know what to click to leave the Bio thing im literally keep exiting but it keeps putting me back in bio and im tryna leave
I have an MSI board as well, I noticed yours also has Profile 2 grayed out. Why is that?
Same question.
I have been trying to figure out why I cannot access XMP Profile 2. As like the video screen, it is blacked out. Does anybody know how to make it come "alive?" No amount of Googling or ChatGPT'ng has come to a resolution.
Should i enable igpu? Does it give best fps on main monitor? I have both plugged into gpu
Great video, new sub
I can't, for the life of me, figure out what is going on with my RAM. I have an MSI board. I enable XMP (the RAM is rated at 3200Mhz), and no matter what the system will not POST until I clear CMOS.
Have you figured it out yet ? 😂
@@christopheralvarez1090 I did, actually. To run 4 sticks I had to buy 4 at the same time. Reading other's issues sometimes, even the exact same brand of RAM just doesn't work together if bought separately. I guess the actual modules differ enough if they have different manufacturers.
@@ronlouthain913 sound about right glad it worked ! I’m dealing with two Corsair vengeance sticks that can go up to 6000 MHz, but only can go up to 56 before they start to not post. XMP doesn’t work at all but MSI Memory Try it ! Feature was the only thing that got it to 5600 originally running 4800 MHz
Can you do an updated video with the most current bios and use this same pc setup?
Hi, do you have any advice for most optimized motherboars for ddr5 With i7-12700. In the future I'll put new ddr5 on the dame motherboars
I’d highly recommend not enabling CPU boost. It puts the CPU voltage way too high
How i change clock ratio
Thank you so useful
Did you tweak your Ram timing to get a perfect 16-16-16-16?
thanks. i got a blue screen for making your little “adjustments”
Great video, I have a question? I am trying to lower my CPU from 4.8 to about 3.2 for windows 11. Can you tell me how to do that? I know nothing about the BIOS screen. Thanks
Great video, thanks for putting this out for us. How is the BIOS OC video coming along. Really looking forward to what you have found out. Thanks again.
Is it bad to have CPU boost on? Even tho I have i710700k to 5.1 boost GHZ
For me it was, I have an R7 1700x and the temps would be extremely high when it was enabled. Disabled it and got cooler temps with no noticeable performance impact
Thank you bro, very informative.
These settings should be on by default. I just purchased an MSI MPG 790 Carbon motherboard, these settings were enabled by default. This is an older video which makes sense, doensn't hurt to double-check,.
A few months back I realised I'm a criminal. I have a high end pc I got in 2021. And this whole time I wasnt running XMP. My pc was choking THIS WHOLE TIME
You were able to make one for AMD, I have the same Bios, but I have an AMD processor.
I wish it was explaining everything and a full optimization but how to you get pch cpu lanes?
I prefer to build a system for a specific play resolution of adequate power/quality running stock that I don't need to stress components with overclocking. I also build them so I don't have to touch/upgrade them for their designated lifetime of use (or beyond to whoever will end up using it when I move to my next system). I'm currently building a 1440p system this month, & retiring my still-rocking 1080p 2019 gaming build system. My 1440p build will pair the efficient little powerhouse Ryzen 9 7900 12C/24T GPU with the cool, quiet running ASUS TUF version of the 7800 XT, since those two are a great pair for a no-bottleneck robust 1440p gaming system.
It's such a shame that MSI have gone so far downhill. Their BIOS' and motherboards are so problematic now and shouldn't be recommended. Especially with the bloatware that they push on users, such as MSI Center.
Where do I get Click Bios software

Awesome, I appreciate your tutorial on how to use the MSI BIOS.
What is the difference between game boost and PBO
i close my bios, and then i got blackscreen. how to get back to bios setting?? plz help me :(
Many thanks for posting this. Nicely de-mystifies bios settings.
I don't have pcle lanes under settings/advanced/pcle subsystem settings
In my one it has some sub-sub settings.
You can turn on above 4G and Resize bar if you have powerful CPU and RTX GPU
Think you need both Amd cpu & gpu …

Any recommended settings for i9-10850k chip @5ghz
Literally no youtube video explainins how to overclock it correctly they all just do a couple simple things and boom overclocked chip but my problem is that im doing all that but still not getting good performance its like its not even overclocked
I'm curious on you're ram slots... Why are they on the opposite of what they are recommend to be on?
Do you mean that they are rated the higher speed yet they are defaulted to run at lower speed?
can anyone confirm if the change to the pcie lanes are worth it considering that while it may increase storage performance it may increase the CPU overhead
I believe it doesn't effect or contribute to the cpu whatsoever.
😁
would be cool to show how to get to oc profiles but other than that good vid
I followed his settings and my pc is now broken and doesn't work 😐
reset cmos
we did not pay overclocking. its cost of default and its fastest of world if it fastest default. no need burn expensive parts. play 1080 max graphics if want bcoz you can. limit frames bcoz u will not see more than 60 anyway. its tested. u not see naked woman on 1 frame its just flash u not see it
there s a lot of option you showed in your video missing in my personal BIOS
Awsome work!
I don't see any motorcycle videos in your other channel
Should i enable above 4g memory /crypto mining?
Small warning to future people:
XMP is an overclocking feature and turning it on can cause system instability, void your CPU warranty and may require some fiddling to get just right. Really make sure you know your CPUs maximum memory speed, as well as your RAMs max speed and its compatability (if its Intel XMP or AMD Expo).
In my case, the default XMP Profile boosted the memory speed too high and caused some LEDs on the Motherboard to turn on, while also significantly slowing down boot time. And for general purpose computer usage and normal gaming, you usually don't need XMP enabled.
Enable memory context restore in bios.
I appreciate this comment, everyone has the slow mentality hearing through the grapevine. “More power better performance 🥴” when that isn’t the case I enabled XMP on my MSI CLICK BIOS 5 and it’s hard crashing my game every 5 minutes. Thank you again for this info.
I have a z490i and the computer wont wake up from sleep after updating the Bios. All these power settings got changed now its doing that.
hello, friend, I have this same motherboard along with an i5 12600k, and 16g ram Kingston3200. updated bios. but the game boost and per core options in the bios are disabled. can you help me please. thanks
So when you set up a manual overclock, save and exit.. and your content with it. Does turning off cpu boost just turn off the overclock but keep the settings if you turn it on?
xmp always causes crashes eventually. I just manually adjust ram in the cpu overclock section
Im upgrading from 2133 to 3200 ddr4. I have been getting stutters and drops in multiple games since last year since I had this same build. The only difference is my CPU is the non-F version. My new 3600 RAM comes today
Not even my motherboard but explained everything so well it helped me figure out what happened to my settings after resetting my pc, thanks 🙏 🥴🫠
If my Display Adapter (GPU) doesn't support resizeable bar, I should leave "Above 4G Decoding" off, correct?
