Very clear and informative, I would watch your BIOS OC guides over manufacturers videos any time
Well, then. I am most disappointed. I stumbled onto this video, followed his advice, and went looking for future episodes. I had subscribed, and then saw there's been no additional content for 6 months. Great editing, great audio, pleasant English voice, and well structured chapters. I'm going to stay subscribed, and hope to be notified of future content. You're sorely missed, my man!
he's dead
@@ChancellorM1YT how do you know
@@oggoth8923 due to corona i think
@@tehf00n people are so weird
Was thinking the same thing. Still gonna subscribe
Great video, answered my question in 30 seconds, stayed around to learn some more.
Great video and explanation without ever being boring or too complicated. Great audio aswell. Thanks :)
can't say the same for myself, but this is likely possible due to my anxiety of this stupid little situation messing with me right now.
i probably need a new some kind of fan, but i thought that maybe it could be fixed by messing with with my BIOS and adjusting my fans speed.
because my damn PC will restart when i play any demanding game, i think it's over heating, because i can make my room really cold and it will run just fine, but if it gets warmer the damn thing reboots while i play and that gets super annoying.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w add more fans
@@breakingandbuyingbikes
i think i have to get some new ones, one of them squeaks sometimes, i have cleaned it, but it still happens every once in a while.
lately it hasn't been having the overheating issue, i guess it's because it's the colder time of the year where it never reaches the point where it's too hot and restarts.
it was doing this about a month ago, but now it works fine.
but i guess i could get more fans, i have wanted to install something experiential like a vacuume that sucks the hot air out of the tower before it has time to settle, maybe it's a stupid idea lol.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Run Stock don't over clock. Find stability first, once established you can just enjoy the games. Or if you like to tinker get the right tools to check temps, voltages and stress testing.
@@Physics072
yeah i found out my issue was the power supply was dying, it was old but i also wasn't as good at cleaning when i should.
recently i purchased one of those rechargeable air compressor things so i can properly clean my PC, because the cans never lasted long enough and so i didn't clean as often as i should, now i can clean it any time and not run into that issue so the hardware will last longer.
I'm so happy you are using the same motherboard as me. Thanks for help!
Awesome video, it starts right away and don't have to sit through some cringy intro. Thanks!!
Wow I'm very glad I came across your channel. Thank you for this vid. 👍 !!!
Thnx for the helpful tips. Keep up the grind and keep up the great work.
Appreciate it!
2 years later and still helps, thank you man!!
i’m new to pcs after you flash bios can you access windows ?
@@BillWilliamson420 if you do it properly on a pc that alrdy has windows and is set up, yes (since it only changes the motherboard system). If it's a new build, no, you would need an usb with a windows boot ready
Beautiful guide! Well explained, I'll also share it on my channel for my motherboard 🤩
nobody asked
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.
Actually, modern motherboard wont allow this. System wont start if throttling is detected.
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.
My asus on extreme tuning was soo loud doing nothing in windows
@@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. Good thing some of us pay attention to this cause some users would just take this videos advice without hesitation. Sadly I didn’t hit the lottery on my i7-9700k any reasonable voltage quickly led to instability…
Computer nerd and motorcycle enthusiast... I can relate! Thanks for the video.
Just stumbled upon this video but holy amazing video. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
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.
doesnt it make airplane noise?
@@alexzero3736 oh no, it's not that loud. At full speed, it's comparable to small room fan on low... approximately.
ok boomer
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.
A neutral pressure also keeps the system cleaner.
Thank you very much, video was very helpful ❤
Thank you bro, very informative.
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.
Thank you for your work.
Awsome work!
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
ty so much for this, got my PC back from the shop after upgrading and had a heart attack at this menu coz i had no idea what to do 🤣
They should’ve set this up for you? Or at least downloaded windows and the software for ur components of your computer kinda did u wrong 😂
@@MainYotubeacct nope, i had to scramble and get windows to download 🤬

@@mr.niceguy2337 ikr!! like sir i went to you coz idk how to do anything
and they weren’t keen on downloading windows for me and explained how to do it myself but like …. you could of done it and just charged me extra ….
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.
I had a 19 watt gh19 installed DIRECTLY to the back of my rh14 in spite of the contrary. No wonder it wasn't working LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome, I appreciate your tutorial on how to use the MSI BIOS.
ery clear and informative,
Many thanks for posting this. Nicely de-mystifies bios settings.
I definitely need to update my bios. Half of the settings you mentioned I don’t have and it’s the same motherboard.
Great video! Can this be done too with MSI H97 Gaming 3 ?
Thank you bro🙏🏾
Thank you so much!
Great video, new sub

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
NGL those added graphics are cool.
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.
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

Where do I get Click Bios software

THANK YOU
Great vid
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?
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.
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!
Thank you

Im installing m2 nvme for my game storage. What setting on the bios should I tweak?
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?
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
Hi! I'm about to build a system with an i5 12400. My concern is the TDP, as I have read that MSI likes to mess with Intel's default TDP's. Do I choose power limits when I'm selecting the cooler type? My parts aren't here yet, so I don't know what TDP's will show for Tower Air Cooler, but is it safe for TDPs to be over Intel's defaults (TDP1 65w, TDP2 117w)?
Tdp2 is fine
really nice and helpful Video!
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?
great video bro can u tell how to enable or disable hpet in msi board like this one?
Should i enable igpu? Does it give best fps on main monitor? I have both plugged into 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 just had replaced a failing asus rog strix b450f-gaming with a msi pro b550-vc wifi board which is supporting a 5700g, 16gb ram auto running at 2666mhz, and a msi mech 6750xt gpu. only thing i have done with the bios that came with the board was turn off the igpu (was noticing some stuttering in destiny) and enable resize bar... not touching overclocking.
Dont forget that you need to run your FCLK at half your memory bandwidth example (3733Mhz 1867 FCLK) if you're using a ryzen CPU. Undervolting is typically fine it's when you start overvolting then it gets dangerous. Also overclocking memory and messing with timings can cause corruption.. I've had to run a few sfc/scannow and DSIM restore a few times because of instability crashes lol
Ok im not a tech guy but who the fuck makes their memory run at half the performence?
@Sunkeny okay, but that’s only on ryzen.. this was specifically an intel chip. Why would you bother to put this info here when it doesn’t apply at all?
I have a Ryzen chip and I thought it was helpful
@@Kben01 To advise someone who has a Ryzen CPU probably.
@@Kben01 he literally says if you have a ryzen cpu
Just shooting my shot here in the comments since I can't find a single post about it online, but is there a reason you have hyperthreading on but "per-core hyperthreading" disabled instead of enabling it on all cores?
Did you tweak your Ram timing to get a perfect 16-16-16-16?
I don't have pcle lanes under settings/advanced/pcle subsystem settings
In my one it has some sub-sub settings.
Hey question. So I have DDR5 Corsair platinum dominator 5600mhz C36. I want to overclock it to get the most gains but stable at the same time. There’s no videos yet on it since it’s fairly new. Do you have any recommendations? Thx🤙
Only enable XMP for DDR5 ram if you have I think 4 sticks of it and enable xmp intel currently has problems with that and reports of not booting as the changes they’ve made to memory must be causing issues so wouldn’t personally push it past rated speeds unless your lucky so just be careful as DDR5 is really fussy at the moment
thx
If you have overheating issues, you can trey tuning power options in windows for the cpu usage. Also would suggest to clean and reapply the thermal paste.
For some reason i always lower it down to 98%, giving it some room, since i mainly play older games.
HELLO MAZZ! I commented on The Grayes Video looking for advise but he never replied!!! So am posting the same question to you Sir! You are my go to guy for MSI!

@@cactusstudiossouth I personally avoid the OC stuff, i try to buy the powers i need by default. Except the XMP profile, my MSI board has CPU boost button for the cpu, but i am on Ryzen platform. I dont recall any issues with MSI products, it seems to be that haters have big mouth.
When you decide to upgrade your system you would only need new motherboard and cpu, if you stick with Intel you can nowdays have smooth Windows 10 experience with 9000 series if you have DX12 games in mind, since you are using 1650 that will serve you a while...
One thing you can check that your PCIE is set properly, i think 1650 is 3.0 ?
@@cactusstudiossouth What games in mind ?
That cpu is just weird combo with the rest.
Hi, I got an alert saying "CPU overheating alert! Please check CPU cooler is firmly attached for working properly." I haven't even get to windows yet, it was on bios.
But my CPU fan is installed properly, I already tried reinstall it before without reapply the thermal.
Can you help me out?

I never update my BIOS but now I want to instal windows 11 and I must update my bios. My question is, considering that since 2018 there have been many updates, do I have to update one by one or only the last one?
I wish it was explaining everything and a full optimization but how to you get pch cpu lanes?

M.2_1 PCIe lanes source option ain't showing in my BIOS. I am using MSI B450M Pro M2 Max Motherboard.
But if you change pcie lanes source to pcu instead of the mobo, no more direct storage function? Cause win 11 already has the direct storage feature and i wanna use this setting but I also want win 11 use direct stoage, che you explain this situaton please?
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
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
What is the difference between game boost and PBO
If my Display Adapter (GPU) doesn't support resizeable bar, I should leave "Above 4G Decoding" off, correct?
My mpg z390 gaming plus wont keep its bios settings/wont run period with XMP on or on the correct ram speed with XMP disabled. i5-8400 & 4 matched g.skill 16g 3200 mhz . I get a boot loop or fail and it reverts to optimized settings (XMP off and 2666mhz). if I set it manually to 3200 (or any setting between that and 2666) it runs but doesn't seem like its running well enough (I do cad and 3d modeling/rendering) and the next time I start or restart the pc it goes straight back to bios and reverts the RAM speed and repeat. I'm a total newb at messing with bios so any insight would be great.
I tired to find the M.2 lance source but i cant find it in the tab where you had it, i got msi click bios 5 and i9 11900k, is this not possible to set the lane source for this cpu and a mpg z590 MB ?
I have a 6700 xt with a z490 tomahawk , I mostly use my PC for VR in Pimax 5k super , I really don't care about my 4k monitor resolution .....If I enable IGD , will that give better gaming in my Pimax VR ?
I have a problem with my MSI Z 170 A M 7 & 270 A M 7 motherboards that even though they boot up but won’t post to my MSI Optix monitor. I tried HDMI.DP 2.0 cables, but with both my Monitor only shows the Error Message DP no input. Did this Problem occur with your Motherboard too & if possible could you share how you have solved the Problem ? I have ordered an HDMi to D Sub conversion cable but don’t if this will solve the Problem. ? 😊🎬
Panjno said to disable 4G encoding, I tried that and I think I lost all stuttering in warzone, so you recommend it?
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.
Great video. Question. Both my msi boards are not recognizing a second hard drive. One is m.2 PCIe and the other a regular sata ssd. I can boot into them with windows installed but only with leaving the first or original hard drive with windows on it. Any idea the issue?

🤣🤣🤣Yes, it's normal with cpu overclock, buy a better cooler.
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?

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.
