ROG STRIX B650E-E, Ryzen 5 9600X, Fury Renegade (A-Die), XFX RX 9060XT

By 4 Mins Read


​PC Config:

  • ROG STRIX B650E-E (Updated BIOS)
  • Ryzen 5 9600x (PBO, All Cores -30)
  • Kingston Fury Renegade KF560C32RSK2-32 (A-DIE, Tuned using Buildzoid's Guide)
  • XFX RX 9060XT (-65mv, 2718 Memory, +10%Power Limit)
  • Kraken Plus 240 AIO (85% Fixed PUMP)

High Quality Pictures of tests:

I’d like to ask for help or opinions from people who are more experienced with overclocking: Based on the results, temperatures, and voltages shown in the screenshots, are these still within a safe range IF yes, how can I improve my OC efficiency to get out more of my RIG?

In the past few days I started getting deeper into overclocking (nothing too crazy yet), and I upgraded to an A-Die RAM kit. I tuned it based on Buildzoid’s “Low Effort DDR5 Timings”.

Since then, I’ve seen noticeable performance improvements especially in 3DMark after BIOS and GPU tuning. My CPU score increased by about +1500 points, Valorant got an average of 50-75FPS Boost and HWiNFO also shows higher CPU power draw.

However, my main concern is:

Can RAM overclocking increase CPU temperatures this much?

  • Before this upgrade, I was using a single 16GB Crucial stick, and my CPU temps were consistently lower by about 5–10°C (With the same PBO and CPU settings and EXPO1). In games, it used to stay around 50°C, and now it often reaches 60°C but the 2 picture using 3D Mark will show the same difference between Default vs Optimized BIOS.
  • I don’t fully understand why this is happening. The Memory Controller in the CPU are under more load obviously but (for me atleast) seems a bit too high.

PBO / CPU tuning:

  • I also tried adjusting PBO manually (values like 105 / 75 / 120), but the BIOS keeps resetting them, so I couldn’t really test properly.
  • I know that the Ryzen 5 9600x is by default using PPT 88W and I know that the MOBO Limit literally setting it to "Unlimited" based on the Motherboard capacity but I wanted to tune it for MAXIMUM 105W (Not like ~120W as it shows in the Second Picture) anyone has any tip or working numbers how to tune it for that?
  • Any advice on PBO settings would be appreciated.

Memory training issue:

  • Another problem I ran into (which seems mostly fixed now using AUTO):
  • When Memory Context Restore = Disabled and the system retrains memory on every restart, sometimes it boots fine, but other times it fails and resets the BIOS.
  • Is Memory Context Restore should be Enabled or Disabled?
  • What could be causing this instability? Because it's seems stable if the system can bootup, under gaming, memory test it can run perfectly, no error, no crash.

BIOS Settings:

1.) Memory:

Freq.

  • Memory: 6000mhz
  • FCLK: 2033mhz (Ryzen 7000/9000 Series is running on Desync so as far as I know its better to run at 2033 instead of 2000mhz but tell me if I'm wrong)

Voltages:

  • VDDIO / MVDD / MVDDQ: 1.35V
  • VSOC: 1.25V (Since then I lowered it to 1.2V for testing out if its stable or not, Is it like good to lower this or is there any drawdown to it?)

Timings:

  • DIV1 Mode: UCLK=MEMCLK
  • Power Down Mode: Disabled
  • tCL: 32
  • tRCD: 38
  • tRP: 38
  • tRAS: 30
  • tRC: 68
  • tWR: 48
  • tREFI: 50000
  • tRFC: 500
  • tRFC2: 400
  • tRFC4: 300
  • tRTP: 12
  • tRRD_L: 8
  • tRRD_S: 4
  • tFAW: 20
  • tWTR_L: 16
  • tWTR_S: 6
  • tRDRDSCL: 4
  • tRDRDSC: 1
  • tRDRDSD: AUTO
  • tRDRDDD: AUTO
  • tWRWRSCL: 4
  • tWRWRSC: 1
  • tWRWRSD: AUTO
  • tWRWRDD: AUTO
  • tWRRD: 2
  • tRDWR: 16

2.) CPU Settings:

  • Core Tuning Config (Gaming): Legacy
  • Performance Bias: None
  • Clock Spread Spectrum: Disabled
  • PSS Support: Disabled
  • SVM Mode: Disabled
  • Global C-State Control: Disabled
  • IOMMU: Disabled
  • ECC: Disabled
  • Core Watchdog Timer: Disabled
  • Power Supply Idle Control: Typical Current Idle
  • SMEE: Disabled
  • CPU Speculative Store Modes: More Speculative
  • SMV Lock/Enable: Disabled
  • PBO (Advanced AMD Overclocking):
  • PBO: Advanced
  • PBO Limits: Motherboard
  • Curve Optimizer: All Cores -30

If anyone has experience with A-Die, PBO tuning on AM5, I’d really appreciate some insight on:

  • CPU temp increase after RAM OC
  • Stable PBO settings
  • Memory training / BIOS reset issues
  • Voltages are Safe?

Thanks in advance!
