I’m slowly working my way down. Currently running 4950mhz with just a -15 offset. I’ll try -20 next since it’s been stable for over a week at this point.

[@ErockOnTech]

Every CPU is different on what off set it can take. But technically a per core off set is the best approach. However, that’s extremely time consuming. I don’t blame anyone for using an all core off set. I would jump to -30 and start testing there. It’ll save you a bunch of time. These CPUs can usually go further than -20.

[@ChrisLaneification]

@@ErockOnTech YEAPP! See I initially started at -30 and she crashed on the first R23 run. But at this point, tweaked a couple of little things and upgraded to a 280mm AIO. Now I'm running a solid -30 offset with a max temp of 83c. R23 and all the OCCT benchmarks and stability tests have been good to go man! I'm super happy with this CPU, it was a fat upgrade from my old R5 1600 AF haha

[@ErockOnTech]

@@ChrisLaneification Awesome! That’s great!

I have a 670e Hero and a 7800x3d can I run expo 2 and set core ratio on AI overclock. With the 1602 bios just curios if it will make a noticeable diff

[@GeorgieArellano]

Really, I have mine at -30 and my rig runs like a charm !

[@yuan5154]

Undervolting the x3d is like a basic 1st thing to do at this point That also included undervolting the GPUs

[@noobfailgaming5703]

Wait undervolt? Isn't that where you reduce its allowed max power consumption? I mean they're already low power consumption cpus?

[@yuan5154]

@@noobfailgaming5703 yes undervolting, not limiting max power factor but using less voltage to power cpu n gpu It's more efficient while achieving the same clocks on a gpu, or a higher one for the x3d chips since they boost to a comfortable range before they hit the desired temps

[@lege3018]

@@noobfailgaming5703 Enabling EXPO/XMP profiles tend to crank up the CPU voltages way more than necessary, and generating a lot of unneeded heat with it. Undervolting the CPU back to reasonable values can do wonders for your temps and on how much/long the CPU can boost before its algorithm decides the chip got too hot. This is especially true for the 7000x3d CPUs due to their 3d cache lowering their ability to dissipate heat, as well as their lower Tjmax values (89 C instead of 95 C) that AMD sets as a safety measure due to said lower heat dissipation.

[@ibdustin15]

Thanks for the tip! Improved my Cinebench around 450. 30 worked in Cinebench but almost immediately crashed in Prime95. Came back with 25 and completely stable. I may tune it in further to 26-29, but I’ll do that another day. No GPU yet as I’m waiting on the 4070 Super, but will test in games down the line too. So far so good.

[@ibdustin15]

Well that didn’t take long! 26 is the best I could get.

[@samuelrave]

Important info! I always tell people with Ryzen 5000 and 7000 to do this, to set PBO2 in the BIOS. I use the exact same settings as you and it gives a huge boost to my Ryzen 7 7700, performing like a 7700X but more efficient!

[@boooyaaababy651]

I'm running a r7 5800x3d. I just moved my whole case to a brand new case with new AIO cooler. There was a problem though. My CPU was overheating with 360mm AIO comparing the old one 240mm AIO. After a few hours, I noticed that my bios settings were reset. So, I undervolted my CPU with the same values again. Now it's running at 65 °C under full load, it was running 90 °C You NEED undervolting if you have the beast :D

What do you use guys for testing stability ?

[@Math1eu-]

OCCT

[@rainbow_gravity]

Does it make sense for BCLK freq to be slightly more expensive on boards?

[@williammurphy6104]

Don’t run neg 30 without proper testing unless you have the ability to set load line calibration. If your board has LLC then set it to a mid setting like performance and then set your neg to 30-40 Without LLC if you aren’t going to do proper stability testing you should just do negative 20. This is well documented. Just under half can do negative 30 without LLC. Most can do negative 50 with LLC set to a mid setting.

[@tateross3579]

But how you can’t actually change the voltage it only presets on my as rock b650 pro

[@Amonicuss]

If you aren't too much into overclocking, PBO would work fine for you, but if it are, please consider manually overclocking..... The voltages AMD uses for some of the frequencies are just plain stupid most of the time, do not need 1.5v to run 4.8ghz single core....

would you suggest 7800x3d over a 13600K for 1440p gaming?

Small problem here. My pc worked perfectly for about 2 weeks, but the very second I overclocked my 7800x3d from bios, whenever I go to turn the pc back on after powering off it just doesn’t boot. I have to hold the power button and it enters bios again. Why could this be? I tried to stay very conservative with my overclocking

[@ryanoneill1614]

Thermal throttle limit 80c or 85c

[@rusudan9631]

does the 7800x3d support core multiplier and core voltage adjustment (without any other settings)

[@MrTuxy]

Just got the CPU so I'm not an experl. It is not like intel CPUs of the past where you push voltage and multi as hight as you can. What he talks about is curve optimiser, you use this to push negative voltage offset as low as it can go. The lower you can go on voltage(depending on silicon lottery) the high your boost clocks. You do not have control over the multiplier directly , the CPU will boost as high as it can within power limits and the lower the voltage your cpu can take the more headroom there is.

[@shadowlmaoo]

Can someone tell me where to go to do this? Is it an app I have to download or what?

[@SketchyThe1th]

Are there downsides to this? Cuz nothing can be that good… right?

[@ErockOnTech]

It’s how the architecture is designed to run. The downside is it’s time consuming to setup.

[@herrherrmann]

Can not I just go into the bios and adjust the voltage down a bit? And maybe just permanently set 5ghz?

Completely depends on your motherboard bios.

[@massimobertoldi7835]

Same PBO and CO configuration but the temperatures in cinebench rising to 80/84° is normal? 🤔

[@ErockOnTech]

Yes normal. Cinebench is 100% load on your CPU at all times. It’s not a real world scenario. It’s a worst case scenario. It’s why I hate synthetic benchmarks. They don’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. Are you a gamer? How are your temps while gaming? Are you a video editor? What are your temps while video editing? Those are the things that matter.

[@ibdustin15]

I am in a NR200 with the brand new Hyper 212. I am in push pull configuration and I am at 69-70 with -25 CO.

[@ArtisticTrex54]

Can i use these exact settings on my Ryzen 7 7800x3d?

[@MrTuxy]

No, every CPU is slightly differnt depending on luck of the drawn on silicon quaility. Negative 30 all core would be above average. You may get lucky but some can only do negative 15. 20 - 25 would be more typical. But no matter what you find stable for your system there is only a cople of frames difference in gaming so take the time to find the curve optimser that works for your cpu but don't be disipointed in the results.
