@@bosmang1 im running a 5800x and it doesnt like when i play with it very much in PBO and curve opt. it seems to run best on optimized defaults, PBO disabled and XMP 1 at just the two simple entries of 4.5ghz @ 1.15v. If I run stock voltage it'll smack 100c like it owes it money, even with a very robust custom loop setup...I get a CBR23 multi of about 15800 with just the two settings i previously mentioned.

Really found it useful I was messing around with pbo in ryzen master before but i wasn't really sure what i was doing... i've noticed that after i set the curves to -24 to -30 (depending on core), I also set the cpu voltage setting offset to -0.5 v and that helps a lot with performance... Also most stress tests, benchmarking software, games, get absolutely no errors even when i set all cores to -30, but there is one single game that for some reason reacts badly and starts crashing: red dead redemption 2.... really everything else works great, even running stress tests for hours on end, i wonder if it accesses the cpu in some unusual way if that is even possible? it typically only has about 15-25% cpu use in game according to rivatuner. Really that single application is the only reason i don't just set all cores to -30 and +125 MHz extra on pbo, instead doing -24 on the two most problematic cores and then -27 to -30 on the rest and "only" +100 MHz (this is on a 5600x so it's still pretty satisfying increase) also I set the per core voltage in ryzen master to just 0.79375.... this works very well with the curves set this low... I find that setting the EDC to 119-124 is about the best for 5600x too for heavy multicore stuff and benchmarks like cinebench20, but i think for real world things, for gaming and such where you are not maxing out the cpu, maybe it's better to set it to something like 115 to keep the most busy cores going at maximum clockspeeds which i suspect is better for gaming performance, really for those situations i think you would hope the EDC and TDC limits are not even met at all...

So I just went into the BIOS and set all cores to -30, did a few runs of Cinebench but nothing too stressful, and I arrived here because I was looking for a way to lower the curve optimizer further! Suppose I'd better do some more stress tests and then mess with some other settings..

Great guide. One tip to add: CPU Load Line Calibration in your BIOS can do a lot to stabilize more aggressive Curve Optimizer offsets. e.g. The two best cores on my 5900x are capable of much better offsets if I change LLC from "auto" to "level 3" on my Asus motherboard. Just don't set the LLC too high -- voltage overshooting can degrade your CPU. You can google recommended LLC levels for the various motherboard brands. Generally a medium setting is best.

Great video! Just wanted to add that you can use a program called y-cruncher to determine which core is unstable. It has a Component Stress Tester (option 1 when you run it as is) that runs a series of tests until an error is encountered, in which case it usually tells you which logical core caused the error. Just take note that the tests will really work your CPU to its thermal limits (90 degC for my 5800x).

Nice to see such clear and concise discussion without the hyperbole that so many seem to include in videos. Hope to see your following grow and recognition for your efforts :). I noted a bit of discussion around crashes occurring at idle when fairly aggressive undervolting is in place. A suggestion was to increase the base CPU voltage slightly, and then maintain a high offset in the curve settings which seems to work. THoughts? RAM Overclocking will be the next effort. Got a guide coming on that? :D

Excellent tutorial. The only part missing was the CPU temps you got during those runs. I'm interested in the temps because this Ryzen7 5800x CPU, in particular, runs hot. I had to reduce the PPT to 109 to get the temps in line. Cinebench r23 runs 14,800 at 78C whereas before it was doing 14,800 at 86C. If there is any way to get close to your Cinebench score without going over 80C then this is truly amazing for me.

@evilspoons Жыл бұрын

The temperatures are in there, look at the graphs he calls "delta temperatures vs EDC" and "delta temperatures vs TDC". Those are degrees over ambient. It doesn't matter if your CPU hits 80 degrees C and his hits 85 if you're in a 15 degree room and he's in a 30 degree room, those are totally different baselines. Delta-T eliminates this.

@jonykapa 3 жыл бұрын

Hey man, great video, very clear and helpful. One thing I have to point out is that I can achieve better results controlling the temperature by limiting the PPT instead of the EDC. By that I mean leaving the EDC very high and turning down the PPT limit. I can have my 5600X achieving better results (at least on CB23) with lower PPT limit than with lower EDC limits, maintaining the same temperatures between this two different approaches. Might be different from chip to chip but thought you'd might find it interesting.

@bosmang1 3 жыл бұрын

This is similar to what I present in the video. The idea is you find your best performance with EDC and then use TDC to lower temperatures. This will overall give you higher performance per delta T than just lowering EDC. You on the other hand used PPT which in turn is most likely lowering TDC but I can't say for certain because I use TDC to tune for temps and leave PPT to be whatever it ends up being based on the EDC and TDC.

Thanks for the very clear guide, the key part for me was adjusting the curve down to 5/10 for my best and 2nd best COREs on my 5950x. I still only get 28100 and 1465 with your ECP/PPT settings so not sure how you are getting 10% more performance! Any ideas? RAM over clocking maybe? Could you share your other BIOS settings?

I'm not 100% sure but from what I understand, no two cards are the same. Settings for his card will be different from yours due to the "silicone lottery". That is what I've read and understand about tuning a cpu.

Amazing results on my 5950x + x570 msi tomahawk. I’m running -10 on two best cores, -30 on all the rest. 500/210/220 ppt/tdc/edc, +50mhz and I’m getting CBR23 of 30394. Temps hitting around 85 degrees during benchmarking. I can’t thank you enough! The logic behind: get the curve working without whea before touching anything else is the real gem, along with the event viewer trick.

When you say 2 best cores... Do you mean the two cores with a star (one on each CCX) or the best two cores from CCX 0?

@gsehm3825 3 жыл бұрын

@@shaolin95 the two best on ccx 0 buddy. Since posting I went up to -5 on those two cores and a couple of cores to -25 when they were crashing with whea’s. I pushed the boost to +200mhz and scalar 10x. It gives much better single core performance now.

I stumbled upon this video while researching why my 5900x is throwing WHEA errors with no BIOS modification. I found several topics online suggesting that a positive curve optimizer change of the faulty core fixes this problem. Indeed, it does fix it, no more WHEA errors when boosting a single core to the max. However, since overvolting might reduce the longevity of the core and you state in the video start one shouldn't put in positive numbers, what's your stance on this topic, why does this fix the WHEA errors and what are the downfalls, besides a small performance hit?

This video helped me more than any other video. I am still tweaking mine - was able to get all cores to 30 negative - now I have to figure out how much boost to run. Either way, THANK YOU

Hey @Bosmang. How do I find out which cores that crashed if I dont get a WHEA error in the log?

@randomkingdom5423 3 жыл бұрын

Stress test cores one by one. Use "Core cycler" for example, it speeds up the process (shows which cores failed the Prime95 test(s), so you know which cores need higher CO)

Thanks for the nice guide! Although i dont understand for some reason boost override doesnt want to boost my single core performance :/ Ive got -20 and -25 on my best cores and -30 on my worst cores, although i tried to lower it to get a higher boost. The max i can get is 4950mhz (5900x).

Amazing explanation, I tried curve optimizer on my 5950X early on but didn’t work it out. I thought the best cores would respond to more undervolt, it seems it is actually the opposite. Also I didn’t do the WHEA logger view in Event Viewer so it was all guess work as to which core crashed when there was instability which became frustrating very quickly. I’m going to have another go at it now that I’ve found this video. Subscribed!

@bossmang I was able to set -30 on every core and haven't had a crash yet. Is it advisable to do that or does setting it that low effect performance? I am on a 5900x.

@waitandhope 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know, but I would say if it doesn't crash then you should be alright. However I'd definitely rune Cinebench R20 and also something like 3DMark Time Spy. But really if it crashes just check event viewer's log for a WHEA error see if ones listed then decrease the undervolt on that core. However it there is no WHEA error then I'd just lower the undervolt on each core see if that helps. Probably better ways

This is very comprehensive! I found the numbers calculated by Ryzen Master auto curve to be unstable but I took these and just subtracted 4-5 from each core's offset and I still get a curve that's adjusted to each Core and it has been running stable now.
