Core parking and other settings for AMD 5900X

[markturner1960]

So I want to check everything is set as it should be - been reading stuff about recent windows updates and the recent DCS update messing with settings causing performance issues....which I have since recent update to both windows and DCS

What should these be set to for my CPU and how to adjust if needed oplease? Any other stuff I should check?

The only thing I do with my own 5900X is setting a manual OFFSET of -26 for all cores in Bios. In simple terms, I undervolted it.

Use AMD's Ryzen Master App to measure each cores max Offset and either use set "per core" setting, or settle with a setting all cores can run with, with my CPU all cores do -26, some would do -28 but I thought dialing back 2 ticks is never a mistake.

FYI; -30 is max negative Offset ( biggest undervolt ).My -26 does result in ~150MHz more on the top performing cores on CCD1 ( 4950MHz with Offset ) and overall less wattage/less heat.

 

I would certainly NOT overclock it the "old" way, more volts more heat for 150-200MHz more. Instability, wear&tear and foremost HEAT will haunt you.

I tried a lot out of curiosity and tbh, it won't pay back. Offset the Volts and call it a day.
