I’ve been tuning my new pc and wanted to get some feedback from people who have more experience with overclocking/undervolting Ryzen 9950X3D chips or even just Ryzen in general.
Right now I’m running Curve Optimizer (CCD0 -30, CCD1 -20) along with Boost Override +200 MHz with a temp limit of 85°C set to Motherboard PBO Limits. My results for Cinebench R23 multi ~44.3k, single ~2280) and temps under ~85°C (47°C~51°C low/idle) with my cooling setup. Is this good or bad?
My question is about Curve Optimizer vs Curve Shaper:
- Should I just stick with CO?
- Or lower my CO values and pair it with Curve Shaper?
- Or is it better to only use one or the other rather than mix?
Also, I’m currently using AMD EXPO Tweaked for memory. Is this the correct profile to be running on my RAM for stability/performance, or should I be using the standard EXPO profile instead (AMD EXPO l – Both are stable for my system)?
My current specs are:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B850-F Gaming WiFi (BIOS 1078)
- RAM: Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL30 (running EXPO Tweaked)
- Cooling: Noctua NH-D15 G2
- PSU: ASUS Strix 1200W Platinum (Fully Modular)
I’m mostly focused on balancing max performance and stability for daily use (gaming, productivity, and some light rendering in 3DSMax), so I don’t mind fine-tuning if there’s a benefit but honestly with OCCT/Y-Cruncher/Memtest/Playing actual CPU intensive games, would it be worth the effort again or would the gains not be worth it?
So far I have been using Skaterbench video as a guide with other forums, after watching it would it be better to have:
Curve Optimizer at like CCD0 -10, CCD1 -15.
THEN go ahead with Curve Shaper: Min: 0 → Low: –15 → Medium: –15 → High: –10 → Max: –5
I mention this so all values overall are at ≤-30 max with CO which I know is stable currently with just CO atm?
