Optimizer Curve experiencing a delay of 11 hours.
Optimizer Curve experiencing a delay of 11 hours.
I was attempting to optimize a curve, but every guide mentioned it would take a few hours—doesn’t seem like that’s what I’m experiencing?
It takes as long as it needs to take. The reason for this is why the impatience exists.
All the guides I found seem to highlight a duration of a few hours, typically between one and two hours, or they reference a link. I was surprised by this consistency.
What processor are you using? A 16-core CPU will take considerably longer than a 6-core CPU since it executes a full benchmark on each core individually, one at a time. You reduce the offset for a failed core as many times as necessary until it no longer triggers errors during testing.
It must operate a single core at a time to ensure it reaches the highest possible boost clock during the workload. Once you identify offsets for each core without errors, you must execute it at least three times for assurance. Repeat this process using another testing tool (Prime95, y-Cruncher are examples) to maximize confidence.
The process is adjustable, allowing you to shorten the tests, though with reduced certainty in results. This might be acceptable for a gaming setup. However, thoroughly testing custom CO offsets can be extremely time-consuming. If the machine might crash during intensive processing, investing the effort is worthwhile for a production unit. Otherwise, you may prefer accepting slightly lower performance by sticking to the design margins that AMD implemented.
Thank you for your reply. I removed Ryzen Master and reset the CMOS so the CPU operates with default settings. At the moment, my system experiences random stuttering, making it hard to pinpoint the issue. Without a stable setup, the Curve Optimizer and Overclock won't be useful.
I experienced similar random stutters before. I tested everything, but it disappeared when using an HDMI cable and connecting to the monitor. It's a 144hz refresh monitor, but only through DisplayPort connectors; HDMI supports 60, 72, or 120hz. I'm unsure if the issue is with the monitor itself, a faulty display port cable, or the GPU. However, I'm satisfied with 72hz and didn't notice any advantage from 144hz, so I'm content with the current setup.
I've already used an HDMI cable.
The stuttering continues.
My FreeSync range is between 40 and 75, I don't want more than that, just stable frames.
CO is effective mainly for managing temperatures via voltage control, but there are alternative methods. If your cooling and settings prevent Tjmax from being reached, it won't be very helpful. Using a core instead of all cores or per CCD is even less beneficial, except for very precise adjustments. Even after automatic tuning, you'll likely need to test it several times and make corrections—it's never completely certain.
Just open BIOS, select per CCD or all cores, set a value of -10, try it, and see if it stabilizes.
For optimal performance with Ryzen, ensure adequate cooling to keep temperatures below Tjmax (around 90–95°C), which varies by model. Operating within those limits will provide the best results.
