Hi everyone....
Yesterday I acquired my new computer with these specifications:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WiFi
CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D (Base: 4.3GHz, Boost: 5.7GHz / 128MB L3 Cache / AM5 / 16 Core / 32 Threads)
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G SHADOW 3X OC
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Black 64GB (2x32GB) PC5-48000 (6000MHz) DDR5, CL30-40-40-96, 1.40V, Dual Module Kit, AMD Ready, AMD EXPO
SSD: Samsung 4TB SSD, 990 EVO PLUS, M.2 2280 NVMe 2.0 PCIe 4.0
PSU: ASUS ROG STRIX 1200W Platinum Power Supply, 80PLUS Platinum
This machine will mostly serve CPU rendering tasks using 3DSMAX and V-ray renderer. The BIOS settings are at the default level. I found the BIOS interface a bit confusing. Anyone have suggestions on adjusting the BIOS to boost performance while protecting the CPU? Any tips would be very helpful.
Best regards
Alan

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Make sure to update the BIOS on your motherboard first. Next, turn on AMD's E.X.P.O in BIOS. Then you can use Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer and lower the CPU voltage. Also, reduce the GPU voltage.

The bios has been updated to the latest version. As discussed, I plan to lower both CPU and GPU voltages to maintain lower temperatures while boosting performance. I’m not focused on gaming or high FPS—just a render machine. My VFX scene is quite demanding; the CPU consistently reaches 84°C per frame, never exceeding that. A lighter scene stays around 74°C. This setup uses the default BIOS settings with EXPO enabled. I’d prefer a cooler environment, about 10–15°C lower for better longevity. Are there any helpful guides available for setting up a good undervolt bios configuration for an Asus? I’ve seen some videos suggesting mixed approaches—some recommend adjusting core voltages while others focus on individual cores, which can be quite confusing.
