Check if achieving 4550 FPS is feasible on your 5800X3D for gaming with multiple cores. You're considering boosting BLCK and possibly FLCK, but need to confirm RAM and CPU specs. Your current setup includes a 3666MHz RAM and an Arctic Liquid Freezer III cooler at CL16. The GPU is ASUS TUF RTX4070Ti with 16GB of VRAM.
Unless you interact with BCLK, which is unreliable at best and influences nearly all aspects, the impact will likely be minimal. A modest 2.3% improvement in clock speed won’t significantly raise performance beyond what Cinebench shows. Real gains come from carefully adjusting your RAM settings. Also, why set such strict limits on power and current?
Checked some videos about limiting power for improved airflow and performance. Usually I cap at around 4450MhZ across all cores if there’s any chance of overheating—like a 50°C rise and max temperatures reaching 33°C inside the room in Germany during a 60°C day. I don’t think it causes any issues? It works well for the 5700X3D as well, since my friend with the same configuration has 45°C tops using these settings. I didn’t expect big gains, but if there’s any benefit, I’m willing to try. Probably not as simple as just cranking it up to 101 or 102 and letting it run freely.
Reducing power thresholds decreases efficiency. Only Bclk adjustment can improve results.
For a 5800X3D you should aim for temperatures around 50–60°C during normal play. On warmer days up to 70°C is acceptable. With your cooler set to 110°C and 75°C, plus the overkill setup, the optimal range is likely 55–65°C. Adjust based on real-time temps and performance gains.
I don’t understand the exact numbers beyond stocks. Even with a -30 adjustment to core CO, I’m uncertain you’ll get 50c in Cinebench all cores. Or were we just discussing games? Because you begin by mentioning Cinebench and then skip to gaming.
