Hello everyone
I upgraded my processor from the 7900X3D to the 9950X. I mainly use the computer for design and artwork rather than gaming. I usually play scenario-based games at 4K resolution, which puts more strain on the GPU. So I switched to the plain X series, thinking I didn’t need the 3D Cache as much.
What are some simple-to-adjust PBO settings you could suggest for this 9950X? Which one would you recommend?
By default, I was turning on PBO Enhancement and setting the temperature limit to 90 degrees Celsius. Do you have any other suggestions?
My motherboard is an Asus X670E CH Hero.
I’d appreciate any advice.

By default, I was enabling PBO Enhancement and adjusting the temperature limit to 90 degrees Celsius. Do you have any alternative suggestions? You're likely using Curve Optimizer and have reviewed the mentioned video. I suggest trying different settings to find what works best for your platform and silicon sample. Before making changes, it's a good idea to update the BIOS if needed and disable the iGPU in BIOS settings. Also, check out this thread: https://hardforum.com/threads/any-t...d 100% run PBO,+100Mhz Frequency offset, done.

Typically, the simplest approach is to turn on PBO and then manage temperatures through dynamic voltage control using Curve optimizer. Adjusting voltage and power is primarily aimed at maintaining temperatures below 95°C when necessary.

Hello. I haven't watched that video yet, but I'm sure I will. Right now, I've only been using PBO Enhancement. It automatically changes the PBO according to the temperature limit I set. My aim isn't to overclock the processor, but to reduce the temperature slightly while keeping performance steady.

Yes, there are options available when PBO Enhancement is chosen.

Yes, those are just the default settings.
