It could make sense to reduce the clock speed from 5800X to 5700X for better efficiency and lower heat output.

I've adjusted the 5800X to 65W Eco Mode several times in the BIOS, but I keep reapplying the changes because I've observed that even after saving, the PBO settings often return to the default or auto mode unexpectedly. It's frustrating having to revisit the BIOS and reset it back to 65W Eco Mode, or risking damage to the CPU from overheating. I prefer not to experiment with other BIOS settings and miss the straightforward performance of a 65W chip like the Ryzen 5 3600, paired with a compact cooler such as the Wraith Prism I installed on the 3600. If AMD had released the 5700X soon after, I wouldn't have chosen the 5800X at that time. I purchased the 5800X late in December 2021 after weighing it against the 5700G during a sale period. AMD then released the 5700X just four months later, on April 4th, 2022.
5700x is definitely what the 5800x should have been. Having owned a 5800x since launch and still do, I haven’t even thought about swapping it for a 5700x. There’s no point in doing so now. With good CO undervolting or power limiting, keeping things cool is straightforward. If you plan to replace your CPU, consider getting a 5800x3D—it won’t offer much extra value, but it’s better than nothing.
Activate ECO mode and configure the TDP to 65W. If this doesn't function properly, I'll check further, such as verifying 'save and exit' usage or ensuring Ryzen Master isn't running in the background within an OC profile.
It seems you're questioning whether the "CO" in your comment refers to curve optimizer. You also mentioned that the 65W Eco Mode caps power output at 88W.
I was thinking about getting an 8-core processor. Yeah, I’m concerned about that too. It might have been better to choose the 5700G instead.
I completed everything described in your previous message, but I didn't install Ryzen Master on my computer.
Absolutely nothing makes sense here. The 5700 is actually 5800x with reduced power limits. I’m confused about why there’s a strange setup involving ECO mode in the BIOS—it matches what the 5700 offers. If you’re not into the term “ECO,” just open the advanced settings in the BIOS and enter “65w.” There’s no need to lower it, since 5800x represents the better silicon grade between the two. That means under the same power cap, it will perform better. (Maybe) Concern about chip performance is just a personal fear, not a fact. Just set the chip to 65w and you’re good. BIOS can’t change settings by itself; it only resets to defaults when you upgrade the BIOS or if the BIOS isn’t installed on the motherboard.
