Question 1

Can the overclocking settings of GamePP be saved as a configuration file? Can it be used after replacing hardware?

Accepted Answer

Methods to save overclocking configuration files and use them after hardware replacement: ① Enter 「Overclocking Settings」 - 「Configuration Management」, click 「Save Configuration」, and save the current overclocking parameters as a file; ② After replacing the hardware, if the new hardware model is the same (e.g., the same CPU model), the configuration file can be imported for direct use; ③ If the hardware model is different, the overclocking parameters need to be reset to avoid faults caused by hardware incompatibility.

Question 2

After overclocking, the game occasionally lags; is it caused by unstable overclocking? How to troubleshoot?

Accepted Answer

Troubleshooting methods for game lag after overclocking: ① This is a typical sign of unstable overclocking. Troubleshooting steps: a. Reduce the overclocking amplitude of CPU/GPU/memory; b. Run GamePP's 「System Stability Test」; if errors occur, it indicates unstable overclocking; c. Check the hardware temperature; overheating can also cause lag, so heat dissipation needs to be improved.

Question 3

What types of memory does GamePP's memory overclocking function support? How to avoid overclocking failure?

Accepted Answer

Memory types supported by memory overclocking and methods to avoid overclocking failure: ① Supports mainstream DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and is preferentially compatible with high-quality memory modules such as Samsung B-die and SK Hynix C-die; ② Methods to avoid failure: a. Start from the default memory frequency and increase by 100MHz each time; b. Increase the memory voltage synchronously (not exceeding 1.5V); c. Enable the 「Memory Stability Test」 and continue overclocking only after passing the test.

Question 4

After overclocking, the computer power consumption is abnormally high when using GamePP; how to adjust it?

Accepted Answer

Methods to adjust abnormal high power consumption after overclocking: ① Enter 「Overclocking Settings」 - 「Power Limit」 in GamePP and lower the power limit settings of CPU/GPU; ② For Intel CPUs, the 「Energy Efficiency Optimization」 mode can be enabled to limit power consumption while overclocking; ③ Check if the power supply capacity is sufficient; increased power consumption after overclocking may cause power supply overload, so it is recommended to replace it with a higher-capacity power supply.

Question 5

How to set up the GPU overclocking function of GamePP to balance performance and stability?

Accepted Answer

Methods to set up GPU overclocking for balancing performance and stability: ① Enter 「GPU Overclocking」 - 「Manual Overclocking」 and slightly increase the core frequency (e.g., +10MHz each time); ② Run the 3DMark test after each adjustment; if screen artifacts appear, lower the frequency; ③ The final setting is based on the standard of 「stable game operation for 2 hours without crashes」 to balance performance improvement and stability.

Question 6

Is the one-click overclocking function of GamePP suitable for all CPUs? What should be noted after overclocking?

Accepted Answer

CPUs suitable for one-click overclocking and precautions: ① Only suitable for overclockable CPUs of Intel K-series (e.g., i7-13700K) and AMD X-series (e.g., Ryzen 9 7950X); ② Precautions: a. Ensure the cooling system is sufficiently powerful (water cooling is recommended); b. Verify via the software's 「Stability Test」 after overclocking; c. Monitor the CPU temperature to avoid hardware aging caused by long-term high load.

Question 7

How much does game frame rate improve after GamePP overclocking settings  ?

Accepted Answer

Frame rate improvement depends on computer hardware configuration. Generally, minor CPU or GPU overclocking can bring 5%-15% game frame rate boosts. Specific explanation: 1. High-performance hardware (e.g., high-end CPU, graphics card) sees relatively smaller improvements; 2. Mid-to-low-end hardware shows more noticeable effects; 3. Different game types have varying hardware demands, leading to differences in frame changes; 4. Use GamePP performance tests to confirm actual post-overclock frame improvements. Overclocking benefits for frames are limited; adjust parameters rationally.

Question 8

Will saved overclock parameters in GamePP apply automatically  ?

Accepted Answer

Saved overclock parameters can apply automatically. Methods: 1. After completing overclock parameter settings in GamePP, click the "Save" button; 2. On computer restart, GamePP will automatically load previously saved parameters; 3. Users can enable or disable "Auto-Start on Boot" in software settings (enabling it allows automatic application); 4. If you don't want to apply saved parameters, manually restore defaults in "Overclocking Settings." Before saving, confirm stable system operation to avoid frequent crashes due to abnormal parameters.

Question 9

Is the automatic mode in GamePP overclocking settings safe ?

Accepted Answer

The automatic overclocking mode is relatively safe and suitable for beginners. Explanation: 1. The software automatically adjusts overclock frequencies based on actual hardware performance to avoid excessive overclocking; 2. Built-in temperature protection reduces frequency automatically when hardware temperatures are too high to prevent overload; 3. Frequency adjustments in auto mode are small and do not affect system stability; 4. Users can manually switch back to default mode in settings at any time to stop auto overclocking. It is recommended to still monitor hardware temperature data when using auto mode.

Question 10

How to avoid high temperatures during overclocking in GamePP ?

Accepted Answer

Operation methods: 1. In GamePP overclocking settings, enable "Temperature Monitoring"; 2. During gaming or performance tests, observe CPU and GPU core temperatures in real-time; 3. Set temperature alert thresholds so the software prompts when exceeded; 4. Ensure the computer's cooling system is functioning properly (e.g., add cooling fans, clean heatsink dust); 5. If temperatures remain high, reduce overclock frequency and save new settings. Prolonged high-temperature operation shortens hardware lifespan; pay special attention to temperature control.
