    Just a note, just because the Cinebench run was stable, it doesn't mean it will be stable on idle overnight. Keep that in mind if your pc randomly bluescreens or shuts down, you will want to back off that curve another 5 or so

    • @essenceofsias
      @essenceofsias Před rokem +103

      Yup - it’s still worthwhile, but chances are fairly good it will require a little more tweaking to be stable. My 5600x benched fine at -30 all core, but would randomly restart once every thirty days, or more often with certain games that exhibit certain clock behaviors. Over time I stepped it down on some cores to - 20 before it stopped happening.

      @marsovac Před rokem +16

      This is a good advice if done manually through BIOS. But the logic in curve optimization in ryzen Master I think handles that, since you are not undervolting really. You are telling the CPU to undervolt itself and then it does so with the amount of voltage appropriate for that load. Ryzen master has cycles of total idle and total load in the stability test during curve optimization.

    • @EndstyleGG
      @EndstyleGG Před rokem +33

Someone had made a script to automate running P95 on 1 core at a time which was supposed to be an effective method but takes forever. I ended up settling on -25 on most cores and -15 on a few other cores just from trial and error before I finished that scripted P95 testing so I can't say how well it works. But the standard methods weren't really helping with stability.

      If you can get a -30 all core you take it. Only if that fails do you need to start doing per core as AMD chips have what I call 1 "hero" core per CCD which tends to boost much higher than the rest in single threaded workloads and you can individually decrease the curve offset on those specific cores. Happy tuning!

    • @AnthonyTeasdale
      @AnthonyTeasdale Před rokem +15

      Tuning and testing per core is best for complete stability. When testing all core workloads, each core is not working it's hardest. Each core needs testing by itself to make sure it is stable. Then if say a game, task or even idling. You are not going to find your system crashing.
      My 5900x I can set -30 all core and test with cinebench with no issues.
      But I would occasionality see WHEA errors. Tunes per core. I do get lower cinebench numbers but 100% stable.
      Some of my cores are still at -30 but one is at -5.

More stressful test you run less likely it will find instability. There's tools out there to test peak clocks when tuning individual core curves like Core Cycler. Sometimes there's a bad apple or two among the cores holding back the rest. For example with my 5800X(+100MHz override) worst value is +3 and best is -25. Flat value for all cores doesn't make much sense in my case. However with 16-core ryzen per core tuning is probably too much work. With 8 or 6 cores it's fine.

    As Roman Der8auer showed in his new vid even the process of delidding and direct-die-cooling 7000-chips can save you up to 15°C in difference. Imagine both! Of course the effects would be way less than both temp differences just combined but still a massive improvement that shouldnt be overlooked when comparing to intel etc

    • @pottingsoil723
      @pottingsoil723 Před rokem +4

      I can imagine a seriously tuned 7600X delidded and optimized in PBO2 with a beefy cooler and using per-core overclock could potentially hit something like 6GHz on the best core with the rest set to 4.5 - 5GHz.
      That would be nuts.

  • @ruicastro1410

    I think this would be a fantastic selling point for AMD if the CPUs just performed like this out of the box. Seeing this performance with 60ºC and 85W matching the "by design" performance makes absolutely no sense that AMD would put out these products reaching the temperature levels they did. If we as users can do this type of tuning this easily, I feel like they could as well just make them behave like this out of the box, and allow those temperatures and power targets to act as designed for people who really would like to push they chips to the max. I know binning comes into play here, but it woudn't be necessary to achieve 60ºC @ 85W for all chips, however having them overpowered and at near TJunction at the exact same performance of what we see here is completely unacceptable.
    Anyway, great video as always!

    I just tried this on my new 7700X that I got today and wow, yeah, it totally works. Curve set to -30, max temp at 85 C, max power at 85 W. Got through a full 10-minute Cinebench R23 multi-core run just fine, with only a minor drop in performance. Temperatures maxed out at 63 C. I'll probably be dialing back things a little bit, maybe curve at -15 and max power at 100 W, to guarantee stability and perhaps eke out a little more performance as well.

      @@Vegemeister1 THIS. Cinebench is only a first blush test. I did a metric ton of tuning on my 5900x and learned the hard way that I could get some really, really sweet Cinebench runs over and over again stable but outright crash in certain games and other stress tests in minutes or an hour. Don't fall for this at face value... while it "might" be completely true a whole lot more stability testing needs to be done to prove it won't crash frequently in certain workloads and games. Curve Optimizer can leave you wondering why your system restarts once every 3 hours in a game... or once every two days... it can and will cause bizarre stability issues. Because it all revolves exactly what kind of load just happens to get placed on one of the random cores that can't handle the low voltage and high clocks. And you don't know when it will happen. You have to hammer them ALL properly to prove that EVERY core can stand up to a heavy load even when the cores around it are also hot.

    • @Astfgl
      @Astfgl Před rokem +1

      Yes, I get that, which is why I said I would be dialing things back a bit. For the moment I've settled on -20 on the voltage, 85 C max temp and 110W max power. Time will tell if this is stable enough, or if it needs more tweaking. I'll be stress testing with other benchmarks to check that. My initial enthusiasm was because I was able to replicate the results from the video exactly with my run-of-the-mill 7700X, so this is not just reserved only for golden review samples.

    Have you tested single core stability for -30 Curve Optimizer? Because from past experience in Ryzen 5000, CO is most problematic at a single core workload because 1-core boost clock is much higher than all core boost clock and therefore, requires much more voltage. If you undervolt too much, you will experience performance degradation in single core performance, or worst case, outright crash of program's you're trying to run. Civ 6 is super sensitive to this and an unstable undervolt will cause the game to hang up frequently.

    You need to run CoreCycler or OCCT in ST rotating mode to validate stability on each core at given offset. If a core fails you can back off the all-core negative offset, or switch to per-core and back off just the core that failed. Cheers.

      This. You need to test each core in the higher clock speed range and set the problem ones to -5 or 0.

      > On the contrary, the best cores get an optimal curve at the factory, and applying additional negative offsets to already-optimized cores can make them unstable. You might actually need a positive offset to make your best cores stable with "AutoOC" enabled! If applying a negative offset makes your system unstable, it's probably a golden sample that's already boosting to 4.8+ GHz and should be left alone.
      It's likely that your launch-day 5950X was already running optimally. Sorry!

    Although these processors should just "work" out of the box, I would love to see more tech tubers educate consumers on how to get the most out of their CPUs. While the headlines for these cpus are "hot and power hungry", it would do good to settle expectations, rather than repeat what the crowd is saying. Same goes for Intel as well. All of these higher ceilings for power draw and heat are only to reach peak performance for a set amount of time to get the highest number for benchmarks. While in fact, there's a lot more headroom for balancing performance and power/heat. It's just a bit more involved for the consumer, and exposure unfortunately has to come from influencers/journalists.

Best approach is to run at least 30 minutes of Prime95 stress test (with and without AVX) without CO turned on, make sure there's no errors and then try it with CO turned on. If there are errors, reduce the offset and try again.
