    MSI x570 Tomahawk - 8+4pin CPU Power Requirement

    legend thank you so much guys ! As you can see from my build specs - i have been out of the scene for close to 10 years. With just the 8 pin - can i push my ryzen 5 3600 base clock upto 4Ghz ? I'm not looking at any crazy overclocking

    MSI x570 Tomahawk - 8+4pin CPU Power Requirement

    Hi Gurus, My planned build will have a MSI x570 Tomahawk motherboard which requires a 8 + 4 pin power for the CPU. I am looking at an antec HCG 750W PSU which comes with 2 x 8 pin plugs for the CPU. I have read that I can have half of the 8 pin connected to the 4 pin but does it matter which...

    thanx m8, the current setup was orthos stable for 2hrs 15 mins(then i cancelled it). MY CPU hit a max of 63 degrees in that period. Now in the meantime, i'll try and buy a good CPU cooler so i can go even higher. Alos, wats the highest amount of volts i can put into my q6600 again?? was it 1.6ish?

    i've kept it on auto if it survives orthos for 2.5 hrs ten that'll be good and i'll keep it that way, if not then i'll go into bios and up it one notch from 1.35.

    lol, i BSOD'd again as i thanked you:). After i set the vcore to 1.35 in bios it said 1.288 in CPUZ(v-droop isn't it?) so i jus ran orthos and when i went to thank you i BSOd's so i'm back on auto and in CPU-Z it says that my VCORE is now 1.344(AUTO settings in BIOS)?? what should i do now?
  11. B

    Bsod

    so i change the vcore to 1.35 and test it using the program you gave me right? what about all those other settings like fsb termination and stuff?

    wow quick reply :) in bios, all my voltages are set to auto, i'm not sure about the pack date about the pack date of my CPU although it's the G0 revision and i'm not sure about the sped of my memory as its changed becoz of the FSB speed change. PLease see attached pictures rom CPU-Z

    I BSOD'd afer o/cing my cpu to 3.33ghz. I ran orthos for half and hour and everything was going good. Then i decided to run prime 95(closed orthos) with 4 threads and my first two cores's temperature jumped up past 67 and i BSOD'd(i'm on stock cooling). What can i do besides get better cooling?

    Unofficial guide to overclocking the C2D Line.

    Also, for how long should i stress-test the CPU for with ORTHOS? earlier you also mentioned that if the computer doesn't post ten you should "Increase CPU voltage by one notch and try again" Is that the same as VCORE? I'm currently @ 3.33ghz but everything except for FSB speed is set on auto but...
