Disable certain CPU features for Ryzen on MSI Mobo.
Disable certain CPU features for Ryzen on MSI Mobo.
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970
CPU: Ryzen 1600 OC'd to 3.9Ghz
Mobo: MSI x370 Gaming Plus
RAM: 2x8 Corsair Vengeance @2400Mhz, OC'd to 3000Mhz
Storage: x1 Samsung SSD 250GB, x1 Standard HDD
Cooler: Hyper 612 V.2
With the motherboard details provided, I'm struggling to identify which CPU features, such as SMT, need disabling for manual overclocking. Updating the BIOS introduced several unfamiliar options.

To disable, simply turn off Cool-N-Quiet.
On my latest BIOS (MSI B350M Mortar), changing the multiplier to the over-clock frequency (39.00 for me) from AUTO makes Cool-N-Quiet inactive on that board.

With the motherboard details provided, I'm facing challenges in identifying which CPU features, such as SMT, should be turned off for manual overclocking. Updating the BIOS of this motherboard introduced several unfamiliar settings.

To disable, simply turn off Cool-N-Quiet.
On my latest BIOS (MSI B350M Mortar), I only need to adjust the multiplier to match the overclock frequency (39.00 for me) from AUTO, and the BIOS automatically sets Cool-N-Quiet to disabled.
SMT isn't mandatory; disabling it can help achieve higher overclocks. Reducing cores also often leads to better results. However, this usually means giving up multi-threaded performance in favor of single-threaded speed—something the chip handles more efficiently naturally.

The same applies if you 'down-core' to fewer cores. However, keeping SMT on is what I'm considering.

SMT doesn't need to be disabled, but it often helps achieve higher overclocks when turned off. Reducing cores can also improve results. However, sacrificing multi-thread performance for single-thread performance is usually better naturally.
I've disabled Cool-N-Quiet, should I reinstate the auto setting and keep it disabled?
Regarding C-State and SVM—I think you may need to disable those as well. I'm keeping SMT enabled.
Cool-N-Quiet must remain disabled.
C-State is left on Auto or Enabled for optimal power efficiency without speed loss. SVM should only be enabled if you're running a virtual machine; otherwise, leave it disabled.
In general, if you're uncertain about the functions, stick with the default settings even during overclocking.

SMT doesn't need to be disabled, but it often helps achieve higher overclocks when turned off. Reducing cores can also boost performance. However, you're mainly trading multi-threaded speed for single-thread speed, which the chip handles better naturally.
I've disabled Cool-N-Quiet, should I reinstate auto and keep it off?
Regarding C-State and SVM – I think they should remain disabled unless you're running a VM. SMT stays on Auto or Enabled for optimal power efficiency without speed loss. SVM only needs to be enabled if you're using a virtual machine; otherwise, leave it off.
In short, if uncertain about their functions, leave them at default even during overclocking.
Thanks!
