I am wondering if enabling game boost in the motherboard BIOS is a good idea? I've heard people say everything from "it will double your frames" to "it will lower your frames and damage your components".

Should I enable Game Boost with my setup? MSI Z690 Carbon, MSI 3090 Ventus (4090 Gaming X Trio being shipped to me right now), i9 12900k, 32 gigs DDR5 6000mhz RAM, Corsair RMX 1000, 2x 970 evo 1TB.

Should i activate game boost mode in the msi bios?, is it safe? because I guess it will do some overclocking (should i enable A-XMP too?)

I have a quick question, before asking though, here are the needed specs

Motherboard: MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk Wifi

GPU: RTX 4090 MSI GAMING TRIO X (Switched to Gaming mode)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Powersupply: 1000 Watt Corsair SHIFT RM1000x Modular 80+ Gold ATX 3.1

Ive been using MSI's Game boost and havent really encountered any problems thankfully, but i always see these bad comments about Game Boost, should i deactivate it and just use MSI Afterburner or MSI Center Max Performance?

Also, i tried using Game boost and EXPO, wich made my PC get mutliple BSOD's wich was probably a stupid idea, i have 4 DDR5 RAM sticks totalling 64GB (CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30)

would it be safe to use EXPO with MSI Afterburner? my bad for the stupid questions, i just have alot to ask, too much to be typing in here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I got a question so in my bios I see an option that says “Game boost CPU) should I enable it or will it damage my components because I heard a lot of good stories and horror.

Hi, just noticed that after a couple years of having my PC i've been having my ram run at 2133mhz instead of the 3000mhz that it should.

I've enabled game boost and XMP to see if it helped and it is now running at 3000mhz and the game boost itself helped a lot with FPS.

I read in a couple other posts that game boost has a risk of too high power consumption and a couple other issues. So far i've noticed my CPU temp is around the same while gaming 68c~.

Is there a way for me to check if game boost is harming my computer or using excessive amounts of power because it has helped my FPS quite a bit.

Thanks

At least for me, I just build my first PC after five years of not having one, and my specs are

Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus CPU: i5-10600k GPU: MSI 2070 Super Gaming X PSU: Corsair RM750x RAM: 16 GB Corsair TridentZ

I installed all of my drivers and all of my games and i also installed Dragon Center in order to play with my RGB fans and components. One of the first games I downloaded was Warzone, and upon entering a game I was only getting around 40 FPS. I was a little disappointed thinking I wasn't getting the performance I was expecting, and determined that something must not be running the way I expected. So I opened up the task manager and looked at my performance tab to see that my CPU was running at .78 GHz max. .78 GHz. I was completely taken aback. I restarted the game, went into the bios and changed back to default settings, undid all overclocking i had done, and nothing happened.

This is when I noticed a slight color change to my monitor upon entering the game and I thought, I have a program that is trying to boost my game. I went into Dragon Center to see that the only game I had installed that was on its gaming boost page was Warzone, and upon disabling my core clock was back up to 4.8 GHz in game and i was receiving close to 200 FPS.

tl;dr MSI Gaming Boost in Dragon Center dropped my CPU core clock to .78 GHz while playing Warzone

Hi, I have enabled MSI Gaming Boost on my motherboard (MSI X470 Gaming Pro MAX) with a Ryzen 5 3600 (and a Deepcool Gammaxx GTE v2 cooler) at first I noticed in task manager 4.2Ghz and in COD: Warzone I saw high temperatures (peaks at 80°C. Because of the high temperatures I wanted to disable game boost to try overclocking to 4.2Ghz manually. First question is: in the CPU ratio i should write 42 or 4200? And what about the voltages? Second question is: I enabled again game boost waiting for some answers in this thread and restarted my computer with a result of 4.07Ghz and different voltages. Why isn't the voltages and clock the same? And how can I put the CPU at 4.2Ghz without staying at 80°C (at the "new" game boost clock it stays at 79°C in Cinebench R20)?

Hey all, just starting to get back into overclocking again with new system. I was only ever lightly into it and mostly just stuck with GPU overclocking because the CPU seemed fiddly. The motherboard I bought, an MSI z790 Edge, seems to have a function called Game Boost which could cut out all of that and do it for me. Okay, cool enough. I Googled around regarding it though, and apparently it can be bad for your CPU. Alright, so leave it off and then learn to do it manually. Here's the problem though:

My system is loud, as in right now doing nothing I can hear the fans from 8 feet away. I built it recently but I noticed right away, and at the time thought perhaps it's just the case, as I had been using an old one for 6 years straight. It's just something I've been dealing with over the past 2 months since I bought it. When I first heard about the Game Boost function, I had enabled it in the BIOS, and the fans spun up (even) more, but when I clicked it off they went right down to a soft purr, couldn't even hear it sitting next to it. That made me think that perhaps the function had been enabled this time, and the fans were running at a higher speed, so I clicked to save and exit. The noise came right back.

So, is there a way to easily set a quieter fan curve that doesn't involve much manual interaction on my part? The only reason I ask is because I know jack shit about heat and CPU management, let alone messing with fan speeds in BIOS, and the last thing I feel like doing before I get the time to learn to do this is bork my whole system up. I'm fine with it being loud while gaming, obviously, that's the name of the game, but when I'm just cruising around on Chrome I'd really prefer the peace and quiet I'd thought was no longer possible with it on.

Je ne sais pas si je dois activer Game Boost sur mon i9 10900k

So, I finally finished (progressively) upgrading my PC with the above motherboard and a i7-6700. I know I can't overclock the CPU. Many of Intel's CPU's have that "Turbo Performance" thing which i'd like to use, but I don't see the option to enable it on the mobo or in the BIOS (my last mobo had a TPU switch on the actual board). The mobo does read the read that the chip can utilize this feature though.

With that said, what does the "Game Boost" feature do on this board? From what I read it was kinda like overclocking in a sense, but I don't really trust it all too much lol. Will this affect my CPU's turbo function at all, and what else will it alter?

Also, since I'm on the topic, I'm using the stock fan for my CPU (as it can't be actually overclocked), but is it even sufficient to support turbo?
