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

@@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 dont have half of these setting options
I'm so happy you are using the same motherboard as me. Thanks for help!
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
Where do I get Click Bios software

Computer nerd and motorcycle enthusiast... I can relate! Thanks for the video.
Beautiful guide! Well explained, I'll also share it on my channel for my motherboard 🤩
nobody asked
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.
Thnx for the helpful tips. Keep up the grind and keep up the great work.
Appreciate it!
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…
Just stumbled upon this video but holy amazing video. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Wow I'm very glad I came across your channel. Thank you for this vid. 👍 !!!
Awesome video, it starts right away and don't have to sit through some cringy intro. Thanks!!
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.
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
🤣🤣🤣
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
Thank you bro, very informative.
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?
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
Thank you very much, video was very helpful ❤
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.
Awesome, I appreciate your tutorial on how to use the MSI BIOS.
Great video! Can this be done too with MSI H97 Gaming 3 ?
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?
Im installing m2 nvme for my game storage. What setting on the bios should I tweak?
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?
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 😂

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
I definitely need to update my bios. Half of the settings you mentioned I don’t have and it’s the same motherboard.
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
Awsome work!
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
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
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.
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.
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!
If my Display Adapter (GPU) doesn't support resizeable bar, I should leave "Above 4G Decoding" off, correct?
M.2_1 PCIe lanes source option ain't showing in my BIOS. I am using MSI B450M Pro M2 Max Motherboard.
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
Just 1 question, why do you disable CPU Fan1 Smart Fan Control in bios
Great video, new sub
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.
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.
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?
@thegrayingtech can you tell me why my and or how to get "board explorer" feature on bios for my z690 tomahawk ddr4 wifi MOBO? I'm using I9 12900k with rtx 3080ti.
Help! I turned on CPU window below GAME BOOST, enabled "USB STDBY POWER @ S4/S5 and enabled "RESUME BY USB POWER"...saved and exit. I got a blue screen, it says: Your device ran into a problem and needs restart. We are collecting error info and then we will restart". Stop code: Clock_Watchdog_
Timeout. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks
After running game boost mode in BIOS, I get computer A2 error. The computer does not turn on. When I restart the computer, it says A2 on the motherboard, and when I turn it off and on again, the computer turns on. My motherboard is z790 carbon wifi. What do you think is the reason why I get the A2 error every time I turn on the computer for the first time? Thank you.
I have the same processor 11700k using the fuma 2 cpu cooler set my options to boxed cooler but my. Idle temps are around 41c. Ambient being at 25c is this normal, I tired everything( remounting) I am not sure what I can do. Using the z590 motherboard.
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 ?
Thank you for your work.
So I’m building my first pc soon and I’m getting a ryzen 5 5600g and a msi mpg b550 motherboard and a couple ppl told me I might have to update my bios before installing windows how do I know if I need to do that or not before installing/ setting windows up?

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?
Should i enable igpu? Does it give best fps on main monitor? I have both plugged into gpu

I have MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC (MS-7B17) with fabric bios from 2018. and cpu i9 9900k, rtx 2070, 64gb RAM .... 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?
Mines a little different. What do I do? Mine has auto and gen1-gen5 options. But no cpu option
Can someone help here? So i bought 2 MSI Z590 motherboards. Do i really need to connect a plug to the 6 pin PCIe connector at the bottom of the motherboard??
I don't have pcle lanes under settings/advanced/pcle subsystem settings
In my one it has some sub-sub settings.
Mine always goes to a black screen and it says overclock failed with an i9 10850k and 3600mhz but i can't get to 3600mhz
I have an MSI board as well, I noticed yours also has Profile 2 grayed out. Why is that?
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
My bios is not showing the CPU selection option after I go into the PCIE section from advanced. It shows the list of m.2slots from where I can select the gen for each. Can someone help me with this?
My mobo is supposed to handle 4000mhz.and my ram are 4000mhz. But if i turn on XMP the pc just crash over and over again. I have manually set my ram to 3500mhz. Looks to be the highest my mobo will tolerate. Am i doing anything wrong or are the mobo underperforming?
I have a build of Msi B450m mortar max and ryzen 5 5600g.

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.

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 ?

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.
