Ryzen chips, especially the lower core chips are exceptionally good at undervolting. I left my 5600x at normal clock speeds whilst just lowering voltage. By doing so I managed to get my 5600X to run a R23 run at 4.6GHz with a -300mV undervolt. So whilst under stress it runs normal clock speeds at 990-1.06V. That’s a golden sample.

@danimagfernandes Жыл бұрын

Do you recall if consumption changed? In my case I can only undervolt by 0.1125 (rock sample?), and it does run R23 at 4.35 instead of 4.0, but the R23 score is very comparable. The only way I can reduce consumption seems to be with fixed speed (e.g. 4000 MHz).

@joey_f4ke238 Жыл бұрын

@@danimagfernandesYou can either set a max power draw or use a negative offset for the frequency as well in pbo. I personally did the latter with a very conservative -100mv and it is doing great so far. Max clock speed went down a bit, but the main thing is that the power draw went from 70 to 58 or so and it can still downclock for better idle consumption

Great guide! A few stats for my 5800x in case anyone else is interested. All figures taken from cpuid (NOT the bios, on my msi board, a -0.025v offset resulted in a 0.23v delta!). dynamic boost had it going up to 4.7Ghz at stock, I locked it down to 4.4Ghz, any higher required significantly more voltage. Stock - 1.3v - 145W package - 85c with my custom loop ramping up to full speed - 15200 points in cinebench After - 1.07v - 97W package - 66c with my loop keeping all fans and pumps at minimum - 14900 points I saw my board offered a 95W eco mode under the PBO settings, so thought I'd see if that did any better... PBO 95W - 1.2v - 122W package - 78c with fans ramping up somewhat - 14900 points It did MUCH worse! Thankyou for keeping my PC super silent, even when gaming, I'm going to give your Nvidia underclocking guide a run through later to see if I can save some more power from my 3080ti.

My temps are now 73°C max in Cinebench, from 83-84°C, with NO performance loss. I have the same performance (sometimes a little bit higher then default) In gaming it was before 70-76°C and now ~55°C and 61°C max xDDD Thats so crazy..

Cinebench is just about as fast as with PBO boosting to 5.45ghz, but my power draw went from around 100w to 75w and temps are cooler. Should be snappier overall locked at 5.2 versus boosting between 4-5.4 GHz... Idle power draw maybe went up a few watts, but nothing crazy. I'm pretty happy with 75w and high 50's temps at 5.2ghz.

@ghosttheoremproductions5469 Жыл бұрын

Ability to undervolt doesn't necessarily translate to being able to use a cheaper MOBO and/or PSU. Since the quality of the power supplied to the cpu will directly translate to it's ability to hold a stable over/under clock. Cheaper PSUs will have more voltage-sag/dirtier-power and cheaper MOBOs will have fewer power phases. Those will reduce how far you can push things. The method for finding a stable reclock will be the same. You just wont be able to go as far.

Ryzen Master has the curve optimizer tool to do UV(=less power and temps) without losing performance. In order to consume less power, it is even easier to just power limit the CPU in the BIOS down to 45W (minimum) and keep the high single core boost. For Intel or old AMD CPUs though, this type of UV you showed in the video is the best one.

I have been searching to find out the idle power consumption of the Ryzen 5 5500 (or similar CPU) for days now without much success. I've read numerous written reviews also watched some other similar videos, and nothing. Now I just wanted to check how I can try to tune in some additional power saving settings, but I also found what I was looking for (package power ~10W or even less). So it seems the idle is pretty good on this R5 5500, my R3 3100 consumes more than 2 times that in Energy saving mode (~25W) which is already down from the normal mode(30+ W, way too much imho), so I guess this means it makes sense for me to buy an R5 5500 to save on energy bills. Great video, thanks.

I had a PBO 2 curve optimization undervolt, which worked a bit hot but fine for a long time, because of many different reasons I recently encountered more heat problems which made it pretty unstable. Now I just turned off PBO 2 and did some undervolting as in the video ("dynamic vcore" in gigabyte BIOS). Quite a significant drop in Cinebench r23 (15000 to 14000) but in the few games I tested so far the performance drop is basically not noticeable and with way better temps. Works great. Thanks.

I used PBO with around 100mv offset, and manually limited power. CPU runs 100MHz faster all core, with ~20% less power. A note on cheap power supplies. They are likely to have higher voltage ripple, which makes undervolts more unstable. I also tend to get instability at idle, or after stopping a test so it is important to test all scenarios, and bump up voltage slightly if you have intermittent crashes.

Crashes probably because you didn’t reset cmo’s after messing with your memory timings. This is why you don’t watch dorks on KZfaq with failed IT careers talk you into electrical engineering. AMD fabric clocks by default are meant for sustainability. You can have a 5.0ghz oc but use 5 watts on idle. You are actually down tiering performance under volts, vs playing with voltage delivery. You are probably also using more power To render lighter work loads.

On Ryzen you can change PPT to get lower total power draw, even though it's not technically undervolting it can help with temperatures in a similar way. You can also change the number of active cores (I forget what the setting is called) but it doesn't really improve power draw unless you're running less than half of the cores active.

Nowadays, the smaller the lithography of the CPU, the more you're going to benefit from a good cooler. Also, you don't need an expensive one. Do a little research.

Been rocking a 5800x for about 8 months, and when I first got put it in I was hitting 90C stock in CB20 on an NH-D15S. Figured out it was the setting's the mobo was applying (B450 Tomahawk Max). I messed around with PBO, and max was 85C-86C. Upgraded to an X570 Unify, and stock found its Mobo settings to be almost exactly what my PBO settings were on the B450, and again hitting 86C max. Leaving everything stock, except RAM profile, I added a negative voltage offset of .1V, and allowed the CPU to boost to whatever with that voltage offset. I did try lower voltages, but I started to get clock stretching, and my performance dropped considerably. With the .1V (-) offset temps are down to 72C max, using 20 less watts, and actually didn't lose any performance in CB20. Still boost to 4.8Ghz single core as well, but is much quieter doing so. lol Before while gaming, the 5800x was running louder and hotter on the NH-D15 than the 3080 12GB I got a couple of weeks ago. I checked paste and reseated the cooler a couple of times now, and came to the conclusion this thing just runs kinda warm. With the undervolt, on both the CPU and GPU, I hope it helps to keep my room a little cooler through this west Texas summer, but in the winter I do have my "heater" settings. lol

Aright, been experimenting a little more, and got my settings about locked it. I locked my 5800X to 4.6Ghz @ 1.29375V (Any lower and it was unstable) Scored 80 points less than my best score in CB20, while using 40W less power, and maxing at 67C from 86-87C. I think I'll take that trade off! Thanks for the video to help provide a little more understanding about how to extract the most out of these chips.

Love your channel Brian, learned alot over here👍Now if you are not as lazy and buissy 😉 like for example me, i would suggest a per core undervolt with a 12 core CPU. You will need a core booster programm and the same programms Brian used to check the core clocks. What you basically do is you go into BIOS > AMD Overclock > Precisionboost Overdrive > Advanced > Coreoptimiser > per core > you will set all cores to negative. At this point you can start to undervolt each core in -1 mV increments and work your way towards the -30 mV max. You will do this for every single core. You need the Booster Software to boost the specific core you are working with. Your clockspeed will go up by decreasing voltage and eventually you will reach the point your clocks start to drop and thats the sign you decreased to much voltage and you have to apply back voltage. 4 days 11 cores and 276 gray hairs later you will get hungry and ask yourself.. WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF.. 🤣🤣🤣

In my case i did not want to lose any performance but while drawing the same or less power: My final result with Ryzen 5 5600 (NON X) is: -0.075v at 4.3ghz, so... i only lose boost (around 140/150mhz), but the normal clock speed when rendering (wich was 4.25ghz at stock settings) ramped to 4.3... Finally, my score was higher, around 300 points, my power draw was less, about 15W peak and same draw or less at idle, and my temps are 8°C less (max).

If i don’t want to downclock the ”CPU Core Ratio” is there something else i should do or can i just skip that step in the Bios and still follow this guide, maybe don’t lower the ”VDDR CPU Offset Voltage” as much? Thanks in advance/ Isak

@Shadowized Жыл бұрын

I have to disagree, setting the clockspeed to a fixed value on modern Zen CPU's is just simply bad advice because it disables PBO boosting entirely. You claim at 27:11 that it's a "very minor drop in performance... only 2 to 3%", but you choose to leave out any game, browser, or lightly threaded workload comparisons that would contradict you. This comes off as lazy. There has been tons of documentation showing how good undervolting is on Ryzen, but your method... not so much. If your goal is simply power reduction you can adjust the EDC/PPT/TDC values for PBO and that will achieve the same sort of results while leaving the boost algorithm to do its thing. Similar power savings can also be achieved without losing any performance by undervolting and not touching the clockspeed as almost all Ryzen 3000/5000 series that I've seen can achieve around a 0.1 - 0.15v~ negative offset without much effort and in some cases you can gain performance because you reduce power(+heat) and allow the CPU to have more headroom to boost if it needs to. There are other methods like the Curve optimizer but those are not generally recommended for novice users.

@mroutcast8515 Жыл бұрын

exactly - games never load the CPU anywhere close to 100% so they take huge advantage of clock boost. I don't need lower power draw or temps on my R5 5600 so I just optimized for higher boost within stock PPT, TDC and EDC. Per core optimized undervolt curve, +200MHz max boost offset. Now in games it basically holds 4.65GHz (up from 4.45GHz stock at the same power draw), while in Cinebench R23 multicore is only about 4.35GHz (which can be obviously overcome by increasing stock power limits). If someone wants to reduce power draw (tho 30W will be still pennies in yearly bill) or temps - then do what I did and simply lower PPT limit to 50W. Then, with lighter workloads CPU will still boost higher than the stock but will never exceed PPT limit.

@mordacain3293 Жыл бұрын

Pretty good guide and it's not too far off of how i do it. I still usually leave the multiplier to Auto and as others have said, pretty much just maxing out the negative curve optimizer will boost the multi-core score. I also go for the max PBO core boost clock (+200) on these lower end Ryzens. I just rebuilt my sons computer using the 5600 and it's rock-solid and only consuming around 70W at max boost. My only other recommendation is to also undervolt the SOC. You don't get as much benefit as you do optimizing the vcore but if you're in for a penny, might as well be in for the pound. I'd also like to see you take a stab at a DRAM tuning guide. I am currently running through tuning my 5800X3D and the uplift in graphics performance is pronounced (350 point delta in Timespy). My aggressive 3200 Mhz tuning (CL13+very low sub-timings) is currently outperforming the 4000Mhz profile I had setup previously (CL17+ not quite as tightly tuned sub-timings) and the lower RAM speed has the benefit of requiring you to pump less voltage into the SOC. It might be too much for a video since there are SOO many sub-timings to modify but you can streamline the tuning by just using so simple shortcuts (like only dropping by 1 on single digit timings, 2 on timings in the 10-20 range and so on).

Nice to see this video. Everyone else seems focused on best performance and not factoring cost. I'm more focused on how can i get the performance i want for the lowest possible cost in terms of electric and parts cost. Personally i am happy with High>Max out settings at 1080p 60fps. Or Med/High (with a few settings higher/lower like shadow quality and RTX,, DLSS maybe even) to get 4k 60fps. I want this kinda performance at a lower cost as possible. I don't care for 144hz 1440p or going over 60fps at 4k. Like most people i rock a 1080p monitor. If i want to go higher resolution ill swap output to the 4k TV and kick back. If i do that its in games that above 60fps really dont matter.
