Optimal configurations?
Hello! You're looking to optimize your system for gaming performance. Since you're concerned about lag, limited boost speeds, and unstable RAM speeds, here are some suggestions:
- Adjust the DOCP to a higher value (e.g., 3603 MHz) to allow more aggressive overclocking.
- Disable the default OC tuner if it's restricting your CPU frequency.
- Ensure your RAM is properly seated and calibrated for maximum speed.
- Consider using a more stable BIOS version or update if available.
- Monitor temperatures closely during testing to avoid overheating.
- If you're comfortable, experiment with safe overclocking steps and use monitoring tools.
Let me know how it goes!
I haven't managed to achieve improved results versus my friends' 1650; this suggests the 1650 might be quite poor when contrasted with a 6600. Updated August 29, 2023 by ChieriOnTop missed including comparison.
Around a 400-600MHz difference, the 5600X aims to reach 4.6GHz, but mine is stuck at 4.2GHz as discussed earlier. 2. I’m not sure, D.O.C.P just altered the RAM speed in an unusual way, hitting 3603MHz. 3. It varies based on the game I’m playing, so I can’t give a precise answer. For now, I’ll assume a basic game like osu!, a 2D rhythm title. Lags happen randomly with sudden frame drops, then it tries to recover. GTA 5 experiences similar problems, though sometimes it just fails and crashes completely, leaving no logs or issues.
Check for a recent update first—there have been two since February, which could improve performance. I’d test Prime95 on one core and then all cores to see if the CPU still reaches full speed. With only a few percent usage in the screenshot, it likely won’t hit the maximum, even in games. Also, ensure you have the newest AMD chipset drivers installed; they can assist with CPU task scheduling. Don’t stress over the 3MHz difference right now—it may just be the BIOS rounding values while Windows approximates them. Your RAM appears to function correctly based on its DOCP profile, so you shouldn’t lose performance.
The latest BIOS update didn't function properly, and it indicated the file wasn't a valid BIOS version, even after applying the automatic renaming tool.
