Use Ryzen Master to adjust settings for the 3900X processor.
Hi everyone. I just watched a YouTube video explaining how some CPUs can be overclocked using CCX and Core-specific settings, especially on the Dark Hero MoBo board. I’m not sure what all those terms mean, and I’m wondering if there are any guides that could help. I don’t own the Crossahair Hero VIII non-Dark model, but I’ve done manual OC before—currently set at 1.25V and a 42x multiplier, everything works fine. Could adjusting per-core settings really improve performance? Is it worth experimenting with this approach?
The best performance comes from 1.25 V at 4.2 GHz across all cores. Higher speeds like 4.3 GHz caused crashes even when using CB.
I own a 3900X and honestly, I've never felt the urge to push it beyond its limits. It runs smoothly without any need for tweaking. While you could technically boost some performance by overclocking all cores, the gains are usually minimal—around 10 percent at most. More often than not, you'll hit restrictions on single-threaded or limited-threaded speeds, and I wouldn't consider it worthwhile. "I'm not sure what this means and I don't know how to do it either." If you're unsure, just avoid it. Any improvement you see would likely be insignificant, and could even harm the components. The 3000 series offers very little overclocking potential, while the 5000 series has a bit more, but these chips are already fast enough at default settings.
oh okay.I agree with it.I won't bother...it's just I'm bored and my OCD tells me I need to squeeze every 1% of performance out of it. What are your temps,idle and lets say when running Cinebench r23?
The boost frequency is 4.6GHz, making it unlikely to be beneficial for running at 4.2GHz in most scenarios.
Similar to you, there was someone mentioning a poor cooler, but I can't recall his name.
