I got the 5700X3D at the start of the year and decided to finally look into undervolting as everyone was talking about it and i like to get the most out of my components.

I used PBO2 to adjust voltages (always same value across all cores) and used cinebench 2024 for the benchmarks. My results are confusing me as there is barely any difference and now i don't know whether or not to stay with the undervolt.

| Voltage | Score | |

|

| | Stock | 818 | | -15 | 810 | | -20 | 808 | | -30 | 815 | | -35 | 811 |

I did not measure temperature over time for each setting but i can say that max Temp during all the tests was 76 Degrees and depending on the setting the Average Temp was 73-75 degrees. I had HWMonitor open and took periodic looks at it.

As you can see scores and temperature barely changed and i would attribute the little difference there is to just margin of error (but correct me if I'm wrong).

Now i don't quite know what to make of this. Undervolting seems to lower the temperature by 1-2 degrees at most and performance are what i would call essentially the same.

I have seen some videos where people get noticeable differences in temperature and score and now I'm unsure if my results are just great with the stock voltages or if this is a bad sign?

I would greatly appreciate any insight as i don't know if i should use any undervolt with these results and what this means.

Hello guys, I'm trying to refine my overclock. I've red a lot of post where people are reaching CRAZY values like 3000/3200 mhz on core clock....

My actual and stable values are:

Core clock: max frequency 3000 Mhz, in games it reaches 2600 ish mhz

Vram: 2514 mhz with fast timings

Tension: 1090 mv....I coulg go 1075 but I THINK it gives me problems with fans....I'm not sure about this!

What are your values guys??? Please let's talk about GAMES, not benchmark....There is a significant difference between the two and EVERY setting I test on benchmark that looks stable, is NEVER stable on games!

Thank you guys <3

I have 32 GB of DDR5 (up to 7000 MT/s) Corsair VENGEANCE RAM clocked at 6000 MT/s to pair up with the infinity fabric of my 7800X3D.

I've also enabled both low latency RAM and high bandwidth RAM options from my BIOS.

It usually works fine, until sometimes it doesn't seem to be capable of booting up.

There's a red light on the motherboard (which is a GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX by the way) that stays on "DRAM" the whole time until it tries to reboot, but nothing happens but a black screen and a boot-loop.

When I reset the CMOS I can then start the PC with the same exact overclocked settings as before without any issues whatsoever.

Why is that? What can I do? Do you need any other information?

There's CPU1 Clock, CPU2 Clock, CPU3 Clock, etc. I need to split data from let's say CPU1-8 clocks into one column, let's name it P-Cores Average Clock, and then from CPU17-28 (dropping a threads off the monitoring) into second, let's name it E-Cores Average Clock. I can't see a way to do it, or I don't know a program. Any help with that?

I'm attempting to tune my 9800x3D via Curve Optimizer. I've been using AIDA64 stressing CPU, FPU, cache, and memory. My methodology has been to run the test for ~3 hours, and if it passes, bump each core negative offset one at a time by -5.

I think I almost have something stable dialed in, but AIDA64 is now failing at the 15-hour mark. Not really sure how to go about isolating which core needs adjusting. I've also tried running CoreCycler 0.10.0.0 with all the default settings and it ran for over 32 iterations over 24 hours passing everything.

So far, AIDA64 has been faster at telling me something is unstable whereas CoreCycler has never thrown any errors, and I've read somewhere that it's not great for testing stability on the 9800x3D.

I know there are other tools like Prime95, y-cruncher, and OCCT; which one can inform me of system instability faster and tell me which core is failing? Or are there certain CoreCycler settings I should be using?

In terms of every day usage, I haven't noticed any crashes. The only abnormality I noticed has been that the system is sometimes unable to POST following a reboot with a yellow DRAM LED indicator. I have a hunch that this is related to a +200 boost clock override rather than Curve Optimizer, but not sure.

Edit: Also just ran OCCT for 1 hour cycling through all cores with no error.

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D

So, I have this ram on order for a 870E ROG mono with a 9800X3D. I couldn’t get a 9950X3D due to stock. The ram is CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 48GB (2 x 24GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 7200 (PC5 57600). Can I down clock this and tighten up the timings a ton? Or due I risk damaging the CPU?

Who can help me configure the Asus AI settings for better performance?

I run a +2000 on mem and +425 on core, I used to consistently get 6k7-6k8, I updated to todays drivers and got this on the same OC

I want to mention also i was running AI EXPO thingy from gigabyte on my 9800x3d as well as a -30 offset on all cores, and an override +200mhz, now I run just ram expo, -30 and PBO optimization Level 1 90, I maybe had memory errors?

Hey everyone,

I’m new to overclocking and I need a bit of help setting up my RX 7800 XT (XFX Qick 319). I tried using some values I found in different posts and forums. It worked well at first — I ran a few Time Spy benchmarks on 3DMark, no issues, and even played a few games perfectly.

But before using this config daily, I decided to run a final stress test using an app called UserDig (3-minute test), and I instantly got a blue screen (BSOD). So I figured I should ask for proper advice before I damage anything.

Here are the values I used:

• Voltage: 100%
• VRAM: 2614 MHz
• GPU Frequency: Min = 500 MHz / Max = 3200 MHz
• Power Limit: +15%

Any tips on how to properly overclock this card? I’d really appreciate some guidance or stable profiles that work well with this model.

Thanks in advance!

Bonsoir à tous, je cherche à faire un undervolt efficace de mon processeur mais je ne sais pas si je dois laisser les valeurs que j'ai mise ou modifier les tensions en plus, étant nouveau dans ce domaine et voulant tirer parti du mieux que je peux de mon nouveau setup je fais surement des tonnes d'erreurs.

Je suis sur un Ryzen 7 9800X3D, ASUS Rog Strix X870e, RAM Corsair 6000MHz CL30, Rog Astral 5080 OC.

Actuellement dans mon BIOS : PBO Avancé Limite Carte mère Curve Optimizer -30

Et j'ai juste changé le Platform Thermal Trottle Ctrl sur Manuel et la limite a 80

Dois-je modifier autre chose ou est-ce que je peux laisser comme ça

Merci d'avance à ceux qui m'aideront

EDIT: This was solved by manually enabling ring to down bin.

I have a 14900K and a Z790 Aorus Master X. I wanted to try limiting my ring frequency to 4.5Ghz to do some testing, but when I set the limit, my effective clocks will drop significantly (Around 1Ghz all cores) and my voltage actually goes up under load (OCCT, R23, ect). Without a limit, the ring stays under 4.5 under those specific loads so I don't know why the limit is throttling my CPU. I've tried ring to core offset and that didn't do anything either.

Does anyone know if I'm missing something so capping the ring doesn't also mess with my cores?
