The SOLVED 5800x is causing issues with your game.
The SOLVED 5800x is causing issues with your game.
I've been using an undervolting guide from Optimum Tech on my 5800x. I've turned PBO on, disabled PBO limits, set the Curve Optimizer to negative for all cores, and adjusted the core curve magnitude to 30. During a 10-minute Cinebench test with no crashes (scored 15719 on multi-core, around 80 degrees), everything seemed fine. However, when I tried to play a game like Evil Dead the Game afterward, my PC crashed shortly after starting a match, showing an error or BSOD and then restarting automatically. I haven't tested without PBO enabled yet. Could you help explain why this happened?
Are you adhering to the Guide? Or are you merely copying it? Just because it’s a 5800x doesn’t mean it’s identical or will produce the same results as OT’s. You might need to adjust the curve to 20/25 since your specific CPU may not fully support 30.
YouTube or any review, whether from an amateur or professional standpoint, can only demonstrate that something is possible—they can’t assert their findings are likely. Treat the guide as a reference to determine what suits your particular CPU, not as a universal solution that will always succeed.
Anything related to any kind of OC remains theoretical and should be approached with caution until tested on your own system.
Test executing standard configurations. Is the most recent BIOS version installed?
Yes, I changed the BIOS and chipset drivers yesterday too. The default settings remain as in PBO being disabled.
Confirm if all settings are set to defaults and attempt to run the game. If it works, consider enabling XMP/D.O.C.P RAM in slots a2-b2. Check for the latest chipset driver from AMD.
Restored all BIOS configurations and successfully played a game without issues. Then I activated XMP settings and continued playing without any crashes. Both RAM sticks were placed properly as per the motherboard guide, and I downloaded the newest chipset drivers from AMD's website.

Anything related to any kind of OC is theoretical and should be treated accordingly until tested on your own system.
There’s only one assurance when it comes to OC: there are essentially no guarantees at all.
Before adjusting settings, check if the system functions at default performance. If it does, consider your modifications one by one. Cinebench isn't a reliable stability indicator and shouldn't be relied upon. I might achieve significant overclocking and pass Cinebench tests, but experience frequent BSODs under different workloads. Tools like Handbrake or Prime95 are suitable alternatives.
Increasing undervolting and boosting during gameplay can work for lighter tasks, but each adjustment must maintain stability across the v/f curve. Too low a setting might cause crashes under certain conditions. For AMD systems, good cooling helps achieve stable overclocks in games without major tweaks. Temperature management is considered during boosts.
Most AMD overclocking efforts focus on RAM tuning, except for the 5800x3D model, which offers optimal game performance and requires considerable expertise to optimize. Gradually reduce undervolting until stability tests like Prime95 or OC are accurate. Everyone conducts their own tests and respects their methods.
Memory overclocking is best handled here. The provided GitHub guide applies to both Intel and AMD systems.
