My benchmarks
The settings applied in the bios, especially for Ram, are already having a measurable effect when I use Cinebench.
To boost the graphics card, I wanted to use a simple tool, accessible to everyone, namely, MSI Afterburner.
Once the software is open, the work begins. The software is very visual, so we’ll start by concentrating on the “Fan” section, on the right:
– Increase the power limit to 120%
– The same goes for the temp limit, which we increase to the max
Once we’ve done that, let’s move on to the OC. We’ll concentrate on the middle section, “Clock”:
- The aim of the game is to progressively increase, step by step, the Core Clock (CC) and Memory Clock (MC) values.
- I’ve chosen a 20Mhz increment for both CC and MC. You’re free to use a higher or lower value, but don’t go overboard! It’s better to increment little by little with small values, rather than trying to reach the limit right away.
- Between each increment, I run a bench (in this case, kombustor was the most practical) to validate my OC. If all goes well, I don’t have any crashes and the temperatures are acceptable, then I increase the speed by a further 20Mhz, and so on… Once again, don’t skip any steps, these intermediate benchmarks are essential!
- When I reached 320Mhz on the CC and MC, my PC systematically crashed. So I know that my limit on the CC and MC is 300Mhz.
- The OC can further refine this by reducing the increment.
- Note that not all cards are created equal, and limits may vary slightly from one card to another, so if you also have a 4060, don’t copy/paste our values, take the time to do the above steps!
Here are my game winnings:
I also wanted to cross-reference all this with a good old 3D Mark from the families:
