Comparing 5800X3D PBO and All-Core OC models highlights their distinct features and performance differences.
Comparing 5800X3D PBO and All-Core OC models highlights their distinct features and performance differences.
I've been out of regular overclocking for quite some time now. I'm seeking advice from more current users or resources to explore. My setup includes a 5800X3D with 64GB DDR4-4000(18) and an Asus Crosshair VIII Hero. Enabling the UEFI auto-tune gives me around a 20% boost to 4.1GHz across all cores. I think I could push it higher, but even stress tests like 3dmark don’t exceed 60c. I’m curious if PBO would offer more benefit than further boosting the all-core frequency, especially since I often run multiple programs and VMs simultaneously. The extra RAM helps background tasks, so I’m wondering if switching to PBO could significantly improve gaming performance compared to the current setup. Thanks for your guidance!
Adjust multiplier across all cores to 45.5. Apply static voltage settings for LLC medium/off mode. If overheating occurs, reduce multiplier and lower voltage to 4.1GHz. Even at 4.4GHz it provides a solid improvement.
It will work better than manual OC for most consumer coolers. It excels in both heat output and performance, especially thanks to its Curve Optimizer feature.
Benchmarks and stress tests aren't effective here. Curve Optimizer issues appear under light to moderate load, not during stress tests. Voltage might drop so much it causes the CPU to fail. For a stress test, use CoreCycler. Generally, most samples stay stable at -20°C, aiming for -30 if possible. However, -15 is the lowest I can reach; if you can't get there, you're essentially missing out on success. That's uncommon. https://github.com/sp00n/corecycler
This part doesn't support full core synchronization. Using this chip makes your setup resemble a Dell system.
I followed what my motherboard suggested. After adjusting the settings, it showed in the UEFI that it was running at 41x across all cores. I ran benchmarks in Windows with monitoring tools, and it consistently stayed around 3.6GHz even though the UEFI indicated otherwise. I reset everything to enable PBO and set a -20 offset, which improved performance to about 4.6GHz on most cores now. Before buying, I thought OC wasn't supported, but after checking the UEFI, it seemed they had implemented a workaround. Thanks for your assistance.
It seems you're reflecting on your earlier decision to upgrade from the 5800x to the 5800x3D. You bought the x3D for about 250 USD in January and didn't do enough research beforehand. You were concerned about spending on higher-end models like 5900x or 5950x, thinking they might release a 3D version later, but you felt the extra cores were worth it over the 3D cache.
