I've been regularly enhancing my setup lately, yet I still feel it's missing something. I mostly play games using the same configurations as before, only noticing a slight performance drop of 10-20fps. Before: R7 2700x 4.1ghz 32gb Corsair 3600mhz 2060 OC Asus X470 Pro Main storage was reliable. After upgrade: R9 5950x 4.55ghz (hard to push it higher consistently) 64gb Corsair 3600mhz 4060 OC Asus X470 Pro All drives remain on SSD, booting from separate M.2, games on two 2TB SSDs and VR titles on a second 2TB M.2. I've experimented with many settings but nothing seems to improve things. Everything on Windows is set to performance mode, and the same goes for NVIDIA Control Center. All drivers are up to date. The CPU runs at 360AIO and neither the CPU nor GPU ever exceeds 50°C. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
What version are you playing? Also, it seems your manual CPU tuning cut the maximum CPU boost speed by roughly 400MHz.
Is this a configuration guide or restriction? Have you experimented with PBO? How many sticks are you using? Could PCIe lane constraints be affecting your 4060 despite multiple M.2s?
Gpu performance follows a curve during overclocking using nvidias tools. Memory speed is increased by 200mhz. I might attempt a higher stable clock myself, though hwinfo shows temps staying between 50-60 under load, seldom exceeding 60. I continue using ccleaner regularly to clear any unnecessary files.
I performed the tests using Asus' overclocking tool. After reaching stability, I added it to the BIOS settings. It reports a performance of 4.55 and occasionally drops under load but stays around 3 or lower when idle. I have four 16GB sticks, two sets: CMK32GX4M2D3600C18. I configured them in the BIOS to prioritize the GPU lanes, ensuring it isn't restricted. I can verify this myself if needed!
That approach isn't ideal. Turn off all clocking limits and turn on PBO. You also mentioned ASUS, removing the armory crate. Four sticks work, but performance drops below 2. Are XMP/EXPO/DOCP enabled? If you prioritized this, it should be okay. Limiting M.2 drives to two lanes is still sufficient. Are they SATA or NVMe?
Run some tests on your GPU and check how it stacks against typical averages. You should fall within their ranges or get a bit better after boosting. If you're underperforming, the extra overclock might be causing issues, leading to instability and reduced performance even if the hardware appears steady.
I attempted to let the mobile device select the clock speeds using the auto tuner feature in ASUS, but it consistently stopped at 4.2. XMP remains enabled and the drives operate at full speed. Both NVMe drives are functioning properly.
