r/overclocking - for those who like to push their chips a little harder

Can someone Please explain to me why cpu PPT, TDC and EDC need to be adjusted in such small increments? is the motherboard even capable of adjusting its own power delivery at those small increments?

Uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers. Disabled GPU and tried to run through IVPU. Same problem.

What gives?

Instant crash as soon as I hit enter.

The overclock has been stress tested several times and is perfectly stable. Gaming also provides the same stability.

The 9000x3D has several limiters that we know exist, https://skatterbencher.com/2024/10/01/ryzen-9-9950x-htfmax/

In this example there is a hidden high temp limiter that is not the same thing as curve shaper or curve optimizer. The limiter essentially kicks in at 35C and restricts the maximum frequency the chip can run at. It’s not clear what chips have it, but it is real and can be fixed with other methods like ECLK which is good.

But are there any important settings like this on 9950x3D or 9800x3D that exist and should be disabled for max performance? Have you noticed any specific settings in PBO that actually should not be enabled or set a certain way? Some people recommend not putting manual TDC/EDC/PPT limits and instead just set “motherboard”.

I know for example my CPU has the hftmax limiter because no matter how insane my CO value gets, no matter how high I set my other values. It is stuck at 5250 all core in heavier workloads.

I have ran a -25 mv all core undervolt with my 9800x3d, temps have been great, only around 50c while gaming.

Today, I put a +200 PBO and the performance didn't really increase, was pretty much the same, only my TimeSpy CPU score increased 300 from 16400 to 16700. Temps, however went up, from 57c to 74c in the timespy run, almost 20c!

Also while gaming my temps increased to 60c, so +10c, but did not really see any improvements in my benchmarks.

Hello, I've undervolted and overclocked my Ryzen 7 7700 a while back (-200 mV and +150 MHz) and I have had some issues especially in multiplayer games. I've ran into random rebooths in Battlefront II (multiple times a day), GTA V and WoT (this one is rare and happens like once a week but it's still an annoyance) but when I play basically any singleplayer game (Oblivion Remaster, Cyberpunk, The Witcher saga, Skyrim AE, Fallout saga) I haven't had a single reboot. Could someone please explain to me what's going on with these MP games? I've had to go back to stock configuration yesterday just to play Battlefront with my friends.

EDIT: My mobo is MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI runnig the latest bios and my ram is 32 GB kit of Kingston FURY 6000CL30.

Overclocked my 5090's VRAM to +6000 MHz.

Ran memtest_vulkan, Unigine Superposition, and OCCT — everything checked out fine.

Also played over 80 hours of RDR2 without any performance drops or issues. With the overclock, the game performs slightly better.

I've read that ECC can hide memory instabilities. Is my VRAM overclock stable enough, or should I run further tests?

Hello

I tried some tuning on the 7700 on a Asus Strix X870-F Gaming WiFi. Air dissipation via a LFIII Pro

These are the results on a single run of Cinebench 2024

Single core: 129

Multi-Core: 1196

Precision boost:

Max CPU Boost Ooverclock Override: +200

Curve optimizer all cores: -50

Single core clock effective: 5550mhz (seen via hwinfo)

Multi core clock effective: 5450mhz (seen via hwinfo)

Temp max: around 85-88 celsius

Tried also some short sessions (10 minutes) of prime95 (small ftts - core clock 5220 mhz) and core cycler (single core clock 5550mhz)

Temp max: around 92-93 celsius for small ftts

Everything seems pretty stable. How are these results?

EDIT: limits set by motherboard

Hello I have a specific case. I guess nothing complicated but I’m lost a little bit in all these CPU parameters. I have a 7800x3d, nothing changed when taken out of box, just expo enabled in BIOS. I’m not a big fan of changing BIOS parameters, overclocking, undervolting, playing with voltage settings etc. I don’t want to increase performance so much, also I’m ok with temperatures like 85C. I don’t care. Generally when I play demanding games the temperature is about 68-75C. Even in MSFS2024 which I play a lot (that’s my main game) temps are ok most of the time. But only this game makes a problems. There are some scenarios that CPU is heavily loaded for miliseconds and the temperature is increasing from for example 85 to over 95 and PC shuts down. The throttling is set to 89 but it doesn’t have a time to react I guess. Yesterday I set PBO limits to disabled (to keep it default) and put all cores -30 with PBO 2 curve. Performance looks the same (tested in Cinebench and Aida), clocks are a little bit higher, temperature is generally the same or lower in MSFS2024. And the surprise: throttling is working! When it comes to 89 it slows down, what satisfies me. But during testing in MSFS2024 I managed anyway to go over 95 degrees and PC shut down.

So my question is, what parameter to change to decrease this heavy power demand in some cases which last for like one second? As I said, I’m happy about the performance and temperatures, but this MSFS2024 is a beast, I think something is not well designed in that game. On the other hand I woudn’t like to decrease PPT to not to have less performance. Maybe decrease the EDC? Please help.

I tested two PBO settings:

• 120W +200MHz CO -30: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/12319922
• 65W +200MHz CO -30: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/12321117

It's crazy how the 65W TDP one scores higher in single-thread.

So I have XFC swift card and it runs very cool. At stock it does have a regular 6950 scores, which I found to be average for non-oc cards.

After cracking up -90mV, 2800 fast memory clock and +10power I got the 7350 result, which is fine but I feel like I still have temperature headroom (GPU runs at 60-65c). But I can get past this score.

One thing I am thinking of is that I use single PSU output for both of my cards 8-pin connectors. Will using separate outputs from PSI for each of my 8-pin connectors in GPU increase performance?

Getting max temps of 95.4c on cinebench r23 multicore test and in games aroun 78-82c with 55% util with a 5600x, pbo is enabled, motherboard limits, i tried very curve optimizer but it's not so stable with my chip, not using the stock cooler but a budget air cooler ( id cooling se 214 xt), on stock settings i get max 82-85c on cinebench and 65-70 in games, what are your temps on 5600x?

Recently, I bought an RTX 5070 for an upgrade from my GTX 1660, I have a Ryzen 5 3600x and currently am not able to purchase a stronger CPU I am wondering how I could go about Overclocking it while minimizing the risks?

So I just build a new pc. Has a ryzen 7 7800x3d. 360 mm cooler. Rtx 3080 which is getting replaced with a 9070xt. 2 sticks of 16 gig cl30 6000 hz ram and a 2 tb nvme drive. What stuff can I do optimization wise/ overclock wise to max out Warzone fps and lower latency? And what should I expect fps wise as a ball park? Any info helps. Thanks!
