Thoughts on this Ryzen software?
There are numerous BIOS settings out of reach for the user, with much left to internal algorithms that rely mainly on core temperatures, which lack visible sensors for the BIOS. Additionally, operating systems and windows cannot utilize individual cores effectively since not all cores are identical. If this software can address some of these issues, adjusting parameters beyond BIOS and OS will likely succeed. I believe 1usmus's track record supports this potential. I'll check again when it becomes available to the general public.
I've only begun experimenting with it, yet I've achieved a full core frequency of 4300mhz at 1.25v under 53 degrees Celsius.
I discovered that my 3700x model has a CCX0 that is 25MHz less capable than CCX1 according to the program. After disabling PBO and all other turbo options in BIOS, the program was set to run at a maximum of 4.2GHz across all cores at 1.275v, achieving a peak of 54c at CB R20 while keeping the CB score within 1-2% lower than when PBO was active.
With manual overclocking at 4.3GHz, I achieved the best stability but at the expense of 1.35v and 72c maximum temperatures.
The average CB r20 score across five runs was 4978 (PBO only 5017).
At manual OC at 4.3GHz, the CB r20 score reached 5220 points.
My CPU was one from the initial runs, so I anticipated slightly higher voltages later on.
I hope the author paid more attention to the GUI since the program window isn’t scalable. At 1080p resolution with Windows scaling above 125%, it overruns the screen and hides some elements.
The problem I encountered is about the placement of the 'CPPC tags' next to core frequencies, as they only display 100. According to the user manual on page 6, the core tags shouldn't include "100." To resolve this, I should... If the kernel tags appear incorrect, clear the system log and restart the system.
(uncertain about why it was shifted to memory?)
(lol, back to cpu.)
It's likely suitable for a 'lazy' overclocker, given the author's focus on keeping the ending vcore stable. This limits the extent of overclocking.
The advantage lies in its compatibility with by-CCX/CCD overclocks, benefiting ThreadRipper owners and to some degree 3900 and 3950. It simplifies thermal management across multiple CCDs and CCXs. With many cores and CCDs available, you don't need to overclock everything; focusing on the best components yields strong performance for most tasks. The main challenge has always been achieving that balance, which is time-consuming.
In Cortana Search type 'Event Viewer', launch the Event Viewer applet.
Increase the ">Windows Logs" section and right-click on the System log. Choose 'clear log'.
You may want to click it first to review the recorded events. Some might appear alarming, but rest assured. Windows frequently encounters errors and recovers from them. It simply shows how fragile the system can be.
Just to clarify a bit more
@drea.drechsler
What exactly does that refer to? Are they talking about the quality of those individual cores, and is it true that a higher number is better? (my range is 116-130)
