Hi everyone,
I thought I’d put a little guide together to help people improve scores and learn how to really push your CPUs to the limits for those who do not have expensive and fancy ECLK motherboards.
So all the information above used a rock solid stable OC with a dynamic voltage offset of 0.015v. This can be pushed a lot harder to get higher scores, but I wanted to show you what is possible just on a daily OC setup.
I did lots of research and discovered that if you use an offset with static OC it runs cooler than PBO…… Yes…. I said it and you can try this for yourselves and also take the benefit 💪
The purpose of this post isn’t to downplay PBO, it’s great and has its benefits but for pure performance this is the route you should follow.
R23 runs:- room temp 20c
Pbo temps – multi core 82c, single core 51c
Static offset – multi core 74c, single core 45c
The scores on static were significantly higher than PBO could achieve at max settings and the temps are also much lower using static.
HWINFO:- shows idle temps running for over 20 mins in a 20c room temp using an Arctic 420 pro AIO.
Time spy extreme runs, shows a nice score of 8000+ but this can be pushed into the regions of 8400+ but it most likely wil be unstable, and lower temps than PBO again at stable settings!
Same with CPU profile, significantly higher thread counts and lower temps than PBO again.
Screenshots of bios to show how dynamic offsets work. It’s the exact same as PBO, but without the annoying dynamic down clocks on your speed.
Finally, it’s getting quite lonely at the top of the leaderboards. So I really hope this helps and inspires some of you guys to push your machines further and harder.
Happy new new
