Comparing Ryzen core voltage settings with Curve Optimizer adjustments
Comparing Ryzen core voltage settings with Curve Optimizer adjustments
I've reviewed your request thoroughly. You're seeking precise details on how Curve Optimizer interacts with core voltage offset in Ryzen 5000 systems, including performance impacts, configuration options, and real-world results. You want specifics like actual voltage offsets, user experiences, measurable outcomes, and any technical data or charts that demonstrate these effects. I'll focus on providing only relevant, well-sourced information without repeating what you already mentioned.
This brings up concerns about how such data became available. It's common to notice posts showing users running at high negative voltages across multiple cores. At 3mV per tick, it implies a shift of -60mV to -90mV from the vcore in the bios. This approach doesn't seem standard when aiming for minimal power usage.
Users would likely appreciate understanding how each choice functions to customize their experience better. PBO2 offers finer control over the core, helping reduce overall power usage and heat while maintaining performance. It also supports stronger boosts on certain cores, which is particularly useful for improving gameplay.
I determine the highest power the socket can supply to my CPU and adjust my negative curve accordingly, using boost override. You won't need to directly control the Vcore. X3D behaves differently because you can't really set power limits except by reducing them, which isn't ideal. Edit: For instance, I run my 5900X at 260/170/190 +200 -26 across all cores. The CPU handles 260W, significantly higher than the 105W listed.
Perfectly smooth performance with minor adjustments.
Performance dropped noticeably on six of the worst cores (CCD2), three mid-range cores on CCD1, and three top cores.
All attempts at -30 worked, but the best cores failed.
System restarted no more than three times, though it still required reapplying around six BIOS updates.
My 5600 kept giving me headaches, scores dropped every time I adjusted a setting, so it felt completely lost. Eventually I ended up turning on PBO, enabling all cores, reducing them by 30%, and boosting the clock speed by 200MHz via BIOS. Using that as a starting point, I manually tweaked the core clock and voltage to push temperatures even higher, not sure if the changes were actually overriding previous settings.
