Settings for AMD CPU on an MSI motherboard BIOS
I just confirmed the track was created, but there might be some confusion. It’s possible the person isn’t familiar with terms like TDRS or PBO. If they’re okay with those, feel free to use them. Otherwise, just keep XMP and ReBAR enabled (4G decoding included).
Relies on your definition of "optimal" and "top performance." You need to enable DOCP (AMD's XMP) and the resizable bar, which might require "above 4g encoding" to be active. PBO should be set to auto. Otherwise, you're almost finished. You can boost power limits to their maximum, or gradually raise them until you reach your desired thermal TDC limit. EDC is the standard amp cap; PPT is the power socket limit (watts per amps). You should aim for maximum settings except EDC, which you can adjust from the desktop using Ryzen Master. If unsure, setting it to what the motherboard suggests usually works, though higher amps may trigger shutdowns in some systems. If you prefer simplicity, stick with what the board recommends. Scalar offers a trade-off: it reduces clock speeds under load to save heat, but doesn<|pad|>'s says it mainly extends voltage use for more cores. Auto mode is ideal if you care about temperature and lifespan—though its impact on longevity is uncertain. Curve Optimizer lets you fine-tune frequency shifts; negative values give more frequency for the same voltage and power, positive values lower it. This adjustment alone can noticeably improve performance. Unless you own the 5900X or 5950X, setting them to all-core negative 30 works. A GitHub repo called Core Cycler can test stability, as frequency limits matter more on mid/lower-end chips. The max offset is around +200, but it's ineffective if Curve Optimizer isn't enabled in the negative range. Don't worry about extra tweaks like load line calibration unless you're dealing with stability concerns—raising LLC may increase voltage and heat. Maximum current capability is achievable since you control the power cap via EDC.
