I recently switched from an I5-8400 to a Ryzen 7 7700x and adjusted the voltage and clock speed. The base speed with Precision Boost Overdrive was roughly 5.2 to 5.3 GHz at 1.385V and 95°C. After some tweaking, I managed lower voltages and higher clocks. During a one-hour test, temperatures stayed below 83°C except for minor driver hiccups. Overall, I’m satisfied with the setup. What about you?
Don't you think single-core performance is dropping due to static overclocking? I'm running smoothly with a -25 Curve optimizer. It maintains roughly 5.4-5.3ghz at 1.27vish while using folding@home, staying just below the heat limit with a 360mm AIO. It still climbs to 5.85 on light jobs or over 5.6 on less demanding ones.
I just check stock since I don’t want to waste hours tweaking for stability through overclocking or undervolting. I prefer accepting a bit lower performance in exchange for peace of mind, especially after experiencing crashes during specific games even when back to stock. It was reliable 99% of the time and passed all stress tests, but still faced issues under certain conditions.
I'm really not in the mood to tweak things. What I aimed for was keeping my CPU below 95°C during gameplay.
You're focusing on AMD's goal, but this chip keeps things at 95C, delivering top performance within that limit. It's not terrible, though it consumes more power for higher output. I don't see much need to chase temperature—just tweak the PBO settings to manage it better.
Using a low-voltage PBO OC 5900X, CPU-Z displays 9600 points with all clocks at 4.5GHz and a temperature of 76°C. Performance across all cores is solid on this budget older platform. However, a 7700X would likely offer better gaming results thanks to its higher clock speeds. My 5900X typically runs at around 4.9GHz during games...
Hello! I always aim for the best performance. I lower the voltage of my RX 5600 XT to 877mV while keeping the clock at 1800MHz. I stick with my Ryzen 5 2600 since it's not very powerful. Every time I upgrade my CPU, I look for improvements through undervolting. Cheers! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
10850K 10C20T 51x/48x (Core/Cache) Allcore OC 1.37v Idle / 1.33v Load It's the RAM I'm using that stands out, 4x8GB 3200C14 at 4200C16 flat and lightly tuned timings. I've been running it for more than a year now. Earlier I pushed tighter timings but adjusted some settings when instability appeared. Many people have said it works well with various applications until you hit a problem. I avoided the highest MHz setting until then, and since then it's been reliable. My AVX tasks run smoothly without overheating, and games like Battlefield 5 that use AVX tend to stay cooler—usually around 80-85°C, though not steady.
I attempted to use the 5200 MHz XMP profile, but the system failed to start despite purchasing the upgrade.
