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

When I first got my 9950x3d, I decided to play around with curve shaper vs curve optimizer. I got great performance but couldn't find stable values as I'd randomly find a instability when gaming... But was great for everything else outside of gaming.

I decided to go back to curve optimizer:

10x scaler, +50mhz boost override, -25 ccd0 -20 ccd1, expo1. Would pass core cycler/occt over night test.

Well it's the weekend and finally getting around to gaming but I'm noticing stuttering when playing Diablo 4. I thought it was the new Nvidia drivers I downloaded last night but I've since reverted to the previous driver and same thing. I then decided to disable curve optimizer and found the micro stuttering went away.

Does this indicate that co is not stable and that I need to lower the values until the stuttering goes away?
