Hello, I recently assembled a new PC and encountered significant frame rate issues (stuttering) across all games. System specs: mainboard GIGABYTE X670E, RAM CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 64GB at 6000MHz, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, iCUE audio via Corsair iCUE H150i RGB ELITE (360), and a Corsair iCUE H100i liquid cooler. The GPU is the GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 4090 Master, paired with a 24GB M.2 SSD (M1 Pro) and a 2TB M.2 SSD (M.2 NVMe). Power supply is a Corsair HX1500i PSU, and I’m using a Windows 11 23H2 OS. BIOS is set to version F20a with Expo1 profile enabled and onboard GPU disabled. I’ve tried updating BIOS, Windows, drivers, and tweaked settings, but nothing resolves the problem.

I’ve placed all components on an online UPS (PowerWalker VFI C LCD 3000VA), which provided some relief. I appreciate any assistance you can offer. I’ve gathered data using MSI Afterburner, CapFrameX, LatencyMon, Cinebench 2024, CPU-Z, GPU-Z, and CrystalDiskMark 8. The measurements were taken during a second game session on Halo Infinite while using MSI Afterburner.

From the sessions:
- Rocket League frame times
- CapFrameX: Cyberpunk 2077 (ray tracing, DLSS Ultra)
- Halo Infinite frame times
- Ultra Rocket League
- Ultra Starfield

Please let me know if you need further details!

Open the UEFI settings, navigate to CPU advanced. Adjust CPPC Preferred Core to 'cache'. Likely under SMU.

Sure, let's try again. What could have gone wrong?

This forces CCD0 to handle tasks when possible. 7950x3D often struggles with thread distribution, leading to frequent switching between CCDs and resulting in elevated input delays. If this issue intensified performance, it likely points to a thermal constraint on CCD0 that’s limiting overall operation. Try running Cinebench R23; it should register around 36k with stable clocks at 4.7–4.9GHz. You can configure it for a one-time execution to avoid long waits. This was shared for future reference with other CCDs—expect immediate thermal saturation regardless, and you should still maintain 150W and stable 4.7–4.9GHz across the board except for CCD1-only tests.
