Q&A

Why is it important to enable CPU Boost and turn on XMP?

Enabling CPU Boost allows your system to take advantage of MSI's overclocking capabilities, improving performance. Turning on XMP ensures that your fast RAM runs at its advertised speed, maximizing performance.

What is the benefit of setting up a custom fan curve?

A custom fan curve allows you to optimize cooling by adjusting fan speeds based on temperature. This can help maintain lower temperatures and strike a balance between noise and performance.

Is it safe to make changes in the advanced overclocking options?

While most changes in the advanced overclocking menu are reversible and won't harm your system, be cautious when changing voltages, as it can lead to instability if not done properly.

Why should I enable Power On by Keyboard/Mouse?

Enabling Power On by Keyboard/Mouse allows connected devices to turn on the computer and receive power, making it convenient for waking up the system and charging devices.

What should I consider before exploring the advanced overclocking options?

Before making changes in the advanced overclocking options, consider researching and understanding the impact of different settings. Changing voltage settings can affect stability, so proceed with caution.
