Initial attempt at boosting performance Let’s give it a try!
Sadly the latest system I have is model 1366, running first generation DDR3 with an imc that’s basically junk—capable of no more than 2200 MHz. I’m planning to upgrade to Ivy Bridge so I can work with DDR3 and experiment with selling RAM and modded XMP settings, though it’ll take some time before that happens.
Ran the Ryzen Master stress test yesterday and reported -30 for all cores on the curve. Entered it into the BIOS and everything looks fine. Cinebench scores are 11034 MC and 1516 SC. My manual overclock reached 11570, so my MC is a bit lower but SC improved to 1478, which makes sense. I didn’t manage to get anything running with RAM; it turned out to be a Hynix M-die and performance hit, capping at 3733 MT/s.
It's good to hear. I think I'll stop there for now—I don't mind complaining too much about the performance yet.
After everything, I didn't reset the core ratio to auto, which probably caused the MC runs to hit a limit of 4.2. I switched it back to auto, using PBO and OC with a -30 curve across all cores (as suggested by Ryan’s Master), and things are now running smoothly. My RAM no longer handles 3733 well, so I’m lowering it to simple DOCP at 3600. I think that’s it for now.
