Needs guidance on Ryzen 7000 overclocking or undervolting?
Needs guidance on Ryzen 7000 overclocking or undervolting?
I'm using an LF2 280mm A-RGB on top of my O11 Air Mini. I was unsure about duplicate runs in MSFS at first. My main worries are the increased L3 cache on the Ryzen (32MB vs 16MB on my 9900K) and how X3D will help with stuttering and VR. The current FPS isn't great for me, so I prefer locked v-sync since I don't have a VRR TV. Anything above or below 30/50/60 v-sync feels stuttery and ruins the immersive feel in 2D, and it's frustrating in VR.
Lol how things are now that people mention 5450MHZ like it's 1 GHz. Game performance has many aspects, and it doesn't always depend on maximum frequency. Of course, one would prefer the most stable frequency available. If I were you, after reviewing a lot of comments and research, I’d reset my BIOS to default, open MSFS, and try measuring temperature, peak frequency, average, and low FPS while landing at your preferred airport. Then I’d revisit the BIOS to adjust the PBO2 Core Curve option—like setting it to "10"—and repeat the process. Compare the results and keep testing until you find the best setup. Just remember, depending on your hardware (RAM, GPU, cooling, etc.), stock settings might already be optimal. And yeah, MSFS isn't the easiest to benchmark, but you could try. Unless you're ready to wait for a guide on optimizing MSFS with a Ryzen 5 7600X. Hope someone else has another idea or suggestion.
By the time people discover the ways to get more boostyjuice from the 7600X, the 7800X3D will be in my system. I'm still working through how they achieve the exact same benchmarks for MSFS, not just similar ones, which is essential for comparing any OC mods confidently.

I believe the manual undervolting works best for Ryzen 7000, 1.1v or similar, and my ECOm setting is set at 1.4v for the same -100MHz speeds and performance. What I'm observing suggests these CPUs are performing exactly as intended, with no further gains possible through current methods. #staytuned

Ryzen 7000 boost limiter detected? Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/A8kf7Psn_Z0
Based on Skatterbenches recommendations, I set PBO to +200 across all cores with a negative curve 15. Since I’m using an ASUS board, I also activated the Medium Load Boostit. AGESA 1002 was installed. SMT is off, limiting me to just 6 cores for gaming performance.
My PBO limits were adjusted, and single core speed improved from 5450MHz to 5650MHz, 45w to 60w, and 53c to 65c. All core speed increased from 5250MHz to 5475MHz, 90w to 65w, and 73c to 103w. P95 small AVX reached 4925MHz to 5300MHz for users heavily using video rendering with P95.
It’s time to install the AGESA 1003 firmware from ASUS and observe the results. I’d love to see if these lower-end 7600X models can reach a stable 5.7GHz single and all-core speeds.
Everyone has the freedom to try things out, but whenever I refresh the BIOS, I always save and reload the pre-set optimized configurations, both before and after the upgrade.
I completed the F5 reset to default, began the update, and now after about 20 minutes I’m seeing a black screen and a solid red LED inside the case. I believe 20 minutes of this dark state means nothing useful happened.
