Overclocking Steps:

1. Settings:

   • Enter Overclock mode: Expert
   • CPU Apply Mode: All core
   • CPU Ratio Mode: Fixed
   • AVX Offset: 0
   • Ring Ratio: 43

2. Voltage Settings:

   • Core/GT Voltage: Override Mode
   • CPU Voltage: 1.300
   • CPU SA Voltage: 1.200
   • CPU IO Voltage: 1.150

3. CPU Features:

   • Hyper-threading: Enabled
   • C-states: Disabled
   • Power Limits: 225 Watts
   • Intel Speed Shift & PCI-e Spread Spectrum: Disabled

4. Advanced Configuration:

   • Hyper-threading can reduce latency for some games.
   • Monitor temperatures using HWiNFO64 and Prime95.
   • Adjust voltages in 0.005V increments if necessary.

Testing:

• Prime95 Test with/without AVX for 10 minutes
• Monitor CPU core temperatures.
  • Without hyper-threading: 68-72°C
  • With hyper-threading: 80-85°C

Recommendations:

• Adjust voltages carefully, avoid exceeding 1.4V for CPU and 1.3V for SA/IO.
• Overclocking boosts performance but excessive overclocking can increase latency.
