That’s quite unusual. Such deep lows aren’t typical for this model.

Hi, your 5800X runs smoothly with 32GB of 3.2 GHz DDR4 RAM. Testing with a 4070 showed noticeable lag, especially in low frame rates. Compared to a friend’s system using the same GPU but 13600k and 64GB of 6.0 GHz DDR5, the difference is clear—more RAM didn’t fix the issue since usage stayed at 32GB. Your performance in RE4 at max settings was around 91 fps with 1% lows dropping to 53 or 29 fps, while the 13600k averaged 106–120 fps with similar drops. The consistency across runs suggests the problem lies with your current hardware rather than random variance. Upgrading to a higher RAM amount or a faster memory type might help, but I’m not sure if that’s the main issue.
I'm here to assist you. Are you using the most recent BIOS updates? Have you installed the latest chipset drivers from AMD? How are your temperatures performing under normal and heavy loads? Besides XMP (DOCP) settings, did you make any other CPU adjustments? The Te 5800X3D shows a noticeable drop in performance. Among Zen3 CPUs, only the 5800X3D comes close to reaching a 13600K in gaming.
Configure static VCore 1.35V to disable all core multiplier. Test whether this resolves low performance issues as the CPU stabilizes at a fixed 4.6GHz.
I possess the newest drivers from AMD Temperatures – they work well now. It’s unclear what changed affected the readings, but before I set stock values I used Cinebench 90°, gaming 85°, idle 60-70°C; after switching to stock settings Cinebench 80°, gaming 75°, idle 50°C. I still use PPT 105W, TDC 90A, EDC 80A, but performance remains unaffected while temperatures improve (Cinebench 70°, gaming 65°). This results in a quieter system overall. All these readings come from the top sensor. I don’t know the BIOS version; I just wanted to verify, though for some odd reason I can’t enter BIOS when booting up. That’s unusual since I could access it a few months ago. It’s an HP Omen prebuild, but I wouldn’t suggest it. I bought it then because it was cheaper than making it myself, especially to discover they cut corners on cooling components. The 3070 was very loud – I could hear it clearly during games with headphones. I’ve replaced the GPU already, but I’m considering a major upgrade for 4K and building it from scratch.
You can configure BIOS settings directly, but Ryzen Master also allows you to adjust BIOS parameters without needing to change the BIOS file itself.
