ASRock OC Tuner is a user-friendly ASRock overclocking tool which allows you to guard your system by hardware monitor function and overclock your hardware devices to get the best system performance.

Manual overclocking

1. Increase baseclock BClk speed towards 125 MHz.
2. If optional in the BIOS, increase your TDP limits of the processor to 250 Watts (by that you are allowing a higher power draw)
3. Disable turbo mode.
4. Set your base multiplier at your preference e.g. 37.

ASRock figured out a way to overclock Intel’s locked non-K Comet Lake CPUs. If you want to overclock, you should buy an unlocked K-series CPU so you can adjust the multiplier in the BIOS to crank up the clockspeed. Otherwise, a non-K series CPU with a non-adjustable (locked) multiplier will save you a bit of coin.

While the M. 2 standard uses the same 22 millimeter-wide slot for all cards, it’s not necessarily the exact same slot. Since M. 2 is designed to be used with so many different kinds of devices, it has some frustratingly similar-looking ports.

Intel Optane memory is a system accelerator that can make your computing tasks faster, smoother, and easier. With Intel Optane, customers can realize around 14 times faster performance than with a normal hard drive, making for an overall 28% increase in system performance.

How to Overclock With ASRock UEFI BIOS

1. Upon entering the BIOS, the initial menu screen offers information about the board including the installed components including the processor.
2. In the OC Tweaker menu, changing the ‘CPU Frequency and Voltage Change’ from auto to manual opens up the frequency and voltage options.

Many people, in this subreddit and many others, think that the x79 chipset’s i7-3820 cannot be overclocked. (IT DOESN’T HAVE A K, YOU CAN’T OC IT, YOU NOOB!) Wrong! The i7-3820 is the most sensible priced chip on the x79 (enthusiast) platform of this generation.

(IT DOESN’T HAVE A K, YOU CAN’T OC IT, YOU NOOB!) Wrong! The i7-3820 is the most sensible priced chip on the x79 (enthusiast) platform of this generation. Its multiplier is partially unlocked (x43) and the rest of the overclocking is attained through the base clock strap (BCLK).

The only options for overclocking the graphics were in the way of SoC voltage, and even then, it could only be set as an offset value, not a true value. This is a little disappointing given that the ASRock X370 Gaming-ITX/ac hasn’t got any hard issues within the BIOS for the graphics, but on the plus side, everything else is done well.

Everything needed for overclocking is in the OC Tweaker menu. In the OC Tweaker menu, changing the ‘CPU Frequency and Voltage Change’ from auto to manual opens up the frequency and voltage options. At the top is the frequency, while down the bottom is the voltage.
