Adjusting Asus Zen3 processors to higher speeds
Adjusting Asus Zen3 processors to higher speeds
. Right now I'm just running benchmarks in the background while working to see how my new hardware has changed. Sadly, after turning on the Overclock button, the CPU scores dropped significantly. It might not be obvious during games, but it still makes me concerned.

04-02-2016, 10:01 PM #6Have you turned PBO back on? After a clean CMOS reset, the ASUS auto-overclock should disappear, but PBO from AMD remains off. Setting up custom PBO limits might help—based on what I recall, PPT 300, TDC 177, EDC 177 seems ideal, though I don’t have the 5950X to confirm. Also, it looks like you're talking about Time Spy Extreme, not Time Spy, because its benchmarks differ significantly (vanilla caps at 16 threads; Extreme has no restrictions). Around 10-11K is what I anticipate for this CPU in Extreme, whereas normal Time Spy would likely reach closer to 14K.
I've turned PBO back on again. Looked up a video for my BIOS and followed it. It seems they didn't list all the available options, so I just enabled what I could find. I'm not adjusting any specific limits right now—just planning to read more before making changes directly. No, that was Time Spy vanilla. Reached 10k (low 10k range) on BIOS, and on Extreme it hit 4511. Both tests completed after enabling PBO.
I was reading through this manual to adjust my BIOS settings, since the same BIOS applies here (just mine is updated). The guide mentions three PBO options to tweak. I managed to locate only one. I tried running it again with background monitoring: I uploaded the Monitor.csv and report.txt files for your reference. Here’s the outcome: VS result “before I pressed that damn button” — everything I aimed for was missing.
