r9 3900x
Hi everyone, I've been working with my R9 3900X overclock lately. Auto-overlock wasn't high enough for the performance it could achieve (4GHz across all cores at peak load). I decided to try a manual overclock. I have a couple of questions I'm trying to figure out, as I don't find clear guidance online. This forum was really helpful before I started this project. My results so far are: 2 OC settings – one at 4.35 on both chipsets per core, and another at 4.425 on the first chip and 4.2 on the second. I mainly use it for gaming or heavy multitasking, and I'm trying to decide which setting is better for each. From what I understand, the second one should perform better in games but less so for productivity (it has a lower Cinebench score). I'm not sure yet. Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
Yes, your setup is quite demanding. With a GTX 1080 and 1440p gaming, you're likely pushing the GPU limits while the CPU plays a smaller role.
Are you looking for games that include pre-made performance tests we can use for comparison?
Not having the app installed doesn't stop me from trying. Thanks a lot! I wasn't expecting such a big impact on performance. I'll share the results tomorrow if I remember.
