Optimizing bios for gaming! small tips for ASUS boards and Intel

[@45eno]

I just bought a 7600x and Asus B650e-e ROG Strix ($240 for both) and when I first posted my cpu would climb to 63c with a temporary Wraith Stealth cooler. Noticed cpu voltage stayed 1.440v in bios. I then realized the BIOS was the original late 2022 bios so I updated to the latest. Still noticed higher than usual voltage. Even though it’s the nicest board in the house feature wise I was thinking to keep it in a secondary role with the 7600x as I don’t trust it with my 7800x3D. My 3 other AM5 builds have x670 non E Aorus Elite AX and don’t appear to have the same high stock voltage. I plan to review this video in the future when I install this premium $350 b650e-e board.

[@CrypticFable1]

make sure ya'll keep the Voltage offset to 0.05, not 0.5

[@subsccribefourn0reasenples3]

Okay but why can u say the answer

[@yh.99999]

0.5 is way too much to the point it can probably cause ur windows to crash since it's 0.50 and not 0.05​@subsccribefourn0reasenples3

[@CrypticFable1]

@ the way you say it makes it sound confusing.. FYI to any passers by; ensure your voltage offset does not go higher than 0.05, 0.5 us way too high

[@mikeh6423]

Just letting you know, Intel adaptive boost technology is a feature of the cpu, it’s a good thing to have enabled. You have limits in place so it won’t go over the limit

[@JxzzCat]

This is correct. However, Asus motherboard unfortunately overrides it. So you have to make sure to turn off Asus's version of it. I have it disabled because I've been tweaking in other programs. When I'm not, I usually leave it on auto.

[@mikeh6423]

@@JxzzCat i think your confused. Asus doesnt override it. it works WITH MCE. no limits = chip will keep boosting. if you have limits then it will keep boosting until you hit those limits then it turns off.

[@Simmymind360]

Yes, I have the i913900k using a Asus Z790 and your tip helped for sure

[@JxzzCat]

​@mikeh6423 maybe not for you, but many users have the asus multicore enhancement override their chips factory settings. Jayztwocents has also confirmed this is infact a thing. There are many factors- how old is your board, model type, exc. This has been a common issue with recent asus boards within the last 4-5 years. The primary issue is the wattage and the amps that it sets it to. It will override your chips factory safe settings and put a maximum of 4095 watts. Which can cause overheating and performance issues when underload. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWWWcqisbdqVbdksi=ssDBVs9SodD870QW Heres a link to his video doing a better explanation. I made this video for a friend who was building his PC, and decided to just make it a small general tips video.

Get a cheap adjustable tripod and phone adapter that way you could record this framed up better. Would cost you about $30 and comes in very handy.

[@JxzzCat]

I appreciate the advice, I just propped my phone up on the desk, haha...

[@heymauriciosoares]

dude thank you so much! after doing these changes my processor temperature average dropped like 15 to 20 degrees (now stays at around 30 to 45c)! and my PC is now running way smoother. You rock!

[@JxzzCat]

@heymauriciosoares glad to hear it works for you! Yeah, I do these tweaks with all my pcs. Factory defaults are generally excessively hot for very few performance differences. These tweaks drop temperatures while maintaining performance. You're roughly only losing 1-3% performance at most. I'd rather take hardware longevity over 1-3%. (And makes your room less hot as well)

[@marcosavila8215]

warning voltage offset is always 0.05000 or 0.07000 and never 0.5000 or 0.7000 dont forget that always 0.0 something

[@JxzzCat]

@@marcosavila8215 yup! Gotta add that zero. You can sometimes get away with 0.1, but even that is pushing limits. I'd go no further than 0.12

[@Cliffgamerz]

@@JxzzCat Isn't the offset setting should be for Global core SVID voltage and not VRM core voltage?

[@MhillPlays]

@@CliffgamerzYes, he’s not using the correct field

[@xsparky0168]

xmp 2 is the proper one, since its the dimm's default and syncing cores is probably the best way to fight unwanted voltage+cpu degradation

[@JxzzCat]

@xsparky0168 it also helps reduce core throttling. Some applications like to overload 1-2 cores, which can spike temperatures and cause unreasonable stress on individual cores. Although it's not always needed, it can help in situations of overheating. And bad core performance.

Can you, please, do video for ASUS new version 2.22.1284 2023AMI? Its not exactly the same. I think they just renamed few things and some are not in same location.

[@JxzzCat]

I don't have access to the new version on my computer, sadly. I'm not a tech channel, nor do I do youtube for income, so I unfortunately wouldn't be able to tweak the 2.22.1284 ami as it is bios designed for x670 boards. Even if I were to force update my bios, I don't think I'd be able to get the same results. I plan on building a brand new pc in November with all modern hardware and will be doing a full custom optimization for the entire rig. That's the soonest I can, sorry :( (I have one PC and don't have access to many things)

Hi man! question: which is better for gaming: ¿3600mhz 16 20 20 38 gear on auto. with avg lat 76ns or 3200mhz 14 18 18 34 gear 1 avg 65ns lat? i have a new 32gb ram at 3600mhz(2 sticks at dual channel) but with my i3 13100f and my asrock b660m pro rs cant pass from 3200mhz with locked gear 1 (3400-3466 crash in games, 3600+crash on bios)pd: 1.35 dram v. (does not help if i go up to 1.40, with 1.45 system crash). btw good vid

[@JxzzCat]

so without getting into to much detail on how clocks work on RAM, your 3600 will be faster than 3200. but not by much. The big thing is you generally always want to run XMP profile I or XMP profile II Try not to manually set your clock speeds if you can avoid it. Whichever set runs XMP will be your absolute fastest pick.

[@mugsete19]

@@JxzzCat everything i mentioned is with the xmp 2.0 profile activated. Ok so for gaming 3600 is better with the 77ns memory latency over 3200 with 65ns ml?

[@JxzzCat]

@@mugsete19 so think of it this way, 3600 transfers more amounts of data at a time, where it may be a bit slower at transferring, it's still transferring MORE data, at a barely reduced speed. Thus, it outclasses the 3200, because the volume of transferred data. If you're curious more on it, there are plenty of good videos explaining why this works like this. But to answer your question, the 3600 is faster.

[@silfrido1768]

3600CL14 if you can find it. if not get the 3200CL24 & then overclock the frequency to 3400-3600.

Event ID eerror Kernel 41 shows in eevent viewer :( seems my PSU is okay, its in CPU 14th gen issuee of stability I think.. pls help me! beeen 3 months of tweaking

[@JxzzCat]

@JsinJzone 13 and 14 gens are indeed having instability issues. If you haven't updated your bios via flash drive (download the update for your chip on intel or asus driver downloads) Do that first. After that. I'd strongly suggest bringing your adaptive voltage to offset negative at the very least 0.05 If these steps haven't worked, you can force all cores to perform together, which prevents singular spikes (which can cause issues) to do this, enable sync all cores. You can then set the values of all your cores. I just searches your chip, and it has boost clocks of 5.6ghz on proficiency cores and 4.3 on efficiency cores. I would suggest syncing all your profiency cores to 4.7ghz and efficiency cores to 3.8ghz. If things stabilize, you can increase these margins by .1 till you find a sweet spot between performance and stability. Hope this helps.

[@JsinJzone]

@@JxzzCat thanks, Did all of theesee and all areee updated eveen the drivers and BIOS. reformatted it too but still I get Reeboots in games especially when opening. months ago it works fine, couuld this be the CPU degredation? oxidation of 14th gen i7s? The reboots are getting worse

[@briandennison2146]

wheres high memery bandwith i cant find it on my bios not sure if asus has it

[@Shadingss]

How did you get the frequency up to 4900 or in other words your ratio is 49x, how can I change that number

[@JxzzCat]

@Shadingss it depends on your cpu. Some are able to reach such numbers. Example: the intel I9 12900k can safely get up to 5.2 ghz before it starts getting too hot (going above this would be extreme overclocking) 4.9x is below the stock defaults of the I9 12900k, so this, although it lowers its power, also lowers its temperatures drastically. You generally will not see a performance hit in the 4-5 ghz (the lower end of 4ghz, you'll start noticing a difference.) The best way to know what is safe for your chip is to find the factory set ghz, then drop it .1-.4 ghz, to reduce temperature and undervolt (if you need the cooldown), if you don't need the cooldown, I would not mess with this.

[@Shadingss]

@@JxzzCat thank you. I have a 12400f with a b660m motherboard, runs at 3.9 ghz but goes up to 4.4 on some when needed, I was just going to see if I could make it do a bit more, I’ve seen videos of people getting up to 5.2 however I didn’t want to push it that much. (With b660 combo you can oc f chip) I just recently put on my new cpu cooler (hyper212 black rbg) on hwmonitor my temps currently stay around 30 idle and 52 degrees Celsius when on cinnebenchr23 with a score around 6000 and the pc is almost silent.. it’s like I’m not getting the power for some reason, but my cpu says 100% on task manager and I don’t exactly know the problem. Is my CPU just bad/faulty? Do I have too much air flow now? Maybe something is off in bios??

[@Shadingss]

Also just to add a bit more info, when I game, it plays fine, however 100% cpu usage on games like Once Human, (Low settings 80fps) Spectre Divide ( low settings 300fps)and like 60-70% Valorant 300fps low settings

[@JxzzCat]

@Shadingss I will tell you right now, once human is one of the most poorly optimized pieces of shit out on the market, it runs so poorly that I decided to uninstall it. It places heavy load- all asset and player loading on to the CPU, and does not allocate any rendering to your graphics card. I used to work in the game industry as an environmental artist; I can tell you right now that most Asian developers do not know how to optimize unreal games. They've recently adopted the use of it with very little to any knowledge of how to use it correctly. This is why you'll see a lot of western launches run very smoothly on unreal engine 4 and 5, where eastern launches almost always launch with the same two issues - bad fps, bad stutters. It has so many shader cache issues, as well as hard asset culling. It is one of the worst unreal launches in the past 5 years. Unless you are playing with a giga $5000+ pc, you're going to notice horrible fps and stutters. People who watch videos like mine are not the same as normal players. You're here because you like perfection and love a perfect smooth screen with fast frames and no stutters. The general gaming public is okay with 60 fps on 1080p monitors that don't even know what stutters are. I thought about making a video om the current state of the gaming industry, and why games launch so unfunctuonably bad these days compared to the past but it'd be over an hour long, and I don't really do scripts. I just wing it. (I have the mouth of a sailor and would have some harsh words for current game developers)

[@JxzzCat]

@Shadingss so cpu 100% is not a bad thing to see. It just means your cpu is using all its power to perform the tasks it's told to do. The only downside to 100% power means if you start trying to load up other apps or tools, it'll start to slow down. You can safely overclock up to 4.2 ghz, as long as your PC can maintain the bump in temperature. (Also, it sounds like your cpu is idling at lower ghz to reduce temperature, which is a good thing) Like I was mentioning in my other comment to you, a lot of games these days (especially eastern developed games on unreal) are poorly optimized and have no understanding of shader cache, render distance culling, and asset forced gpu rendering. I almost feel like I should do a follow up video because a lot of people are being tricked to think their pcs are bad, when it's actually just a shit load of poorly developed and optimized games that keep releasing. I used to work in game design as an environmental artist. So it pisses me off to no end with how much slop is being pumped out in the last 6 years.

[@hefestionaga]

why it says your ratio is x49 if the i9 12900KF is 5.2? shouldnt it says x52?

[@JxzzCat]

@hefestionaga depends. These are the clock speeds. Going higher means hotter temperatures. If you can run yours at 5.2 with good temps, do so. My pc struggled to stay cooler than 72c on a liquid loop, so I dropped mine down to x49

[@hefestionaga]

@JxzzCat right, but im so confused, on the video you did let that at auto and on the right says 49? auto should be 52 no?

[@JxzzCat]

@@hefestionaga ah, i see what you're talking about. It's because I'm using a program called XMP (intel extreme memory profile) to force the frequency lower

@hefestionaga yeah, anti cheat software in games causes temporary cpu throttling. I hate anticheat software. It always bogs things down and makes things run poorly.

[@MartinsD12]

can some summarize in one picture? btw when i updated bios i got freezes on my games now...

[@JxzzCat]

@MartinsD12 if your games are freezing, you may be undervolting too much. Make sure the adaptive offset is set to at a maximum 0.05 Make sure you are not doing 0.5 If this is still having issues, I'd remove the offset entirely or drop it lower to 0.02 If you are not using any tweaks, make sure intel adaptive boost is turned on. As well as bios optimize.

[@Poetry4Us]

i left my core voltage offset at (auto , instead of 0.05) what u think the auto is giving me

[@JxzzCat]

@Poetry4Us auto allows it to fluctuate. This means it can rise or lower based on what it determines the appropriate amount of voltage needed. This is generally the best way to have it set, but it can cause extra heat for no reason. Adaptive voltage is to force lower voltage draw, for massive reduction in temperatures with little to no impact on performance.

[@Poetry4Us]

i have i7 9700 intel , i have it at manual voltage 1.289 and svid voltage at 1.1, im runnning constant at 1.28 voltage, 43 * celcius in idle and around 55-60*celcius in workload gaming , how do i make my voltage be from 0.8 - 1.289 fluctuate, should i set to adaptive negative offset? or offset negative , im on syn call cores xmp1 , with all cstate disabled etc,,,, i have ocd and im obsssved with the voltage settings, i do like having it run on 1.28 voltage non stop , but i kinda want it to move from 0.8 -1.29 sometimes

[@GwapitoEmon]

I got around 28-30 degrees when idle and 36 degrees on heavy gaming. These was on auto / default settings. Should I still tweak my settings?

[@JxzzCat]

@GwapitoEmon sounds like you're running at incredible cool temperatures. If nothing feels off, no need to tweak. However, with how much thermal room, you could consider overlocking. I could give advice on safe levels of overclocking. But I'd need to know what cpu you're using first.

[@JxzzCat]

@Itzwillmark are you 95c on idle? If that's the case, it means your AIO or cpu cooler is not seated correctly. I'd strongly suggest reapplying your thermal paste and making sure your cooler is firmly tightened. If you mean 95c during a benchmark test, that's very normal, depending on the level of the bench intensity. There are ways to cool down your cores by reducing their clock speeds and reducing voltage, but if you're 95c idle, it means your cooler isn't working at all.
