Got myself a 9800X3D last week and personally tweaked it for the first time. Just wanna try running it by community opinions
CPU: 9800x3d
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB 6400MT/s CL32
Mobo: Asrock B650 Steel Legend Wifi
Cooler: DeepCool AK620
PSU: NZXT C850 ATX3.1
Before this I was running my pc with a 7500F which the tech shop where I got my pc cleaned at also did me the favor of running it at 6400mts after getting reset by a BIOS update. I didnt really check the BIOS after this since it was running fine (and kinda forgot to).
Until recently, I decided to do a BIOS update since I was getting the new CPU also, so it wiped the slate clean back to factory. 6400 initially wouldn't run stably on EXPO and relied on Google Gemini to fix my settings. It suggested to drop the OC speed to 6200 mts, fclk at 2068, uclk=memclck, SOC voltage at 1.225, CPU VDDIO to 1.35V, and ended up sticking with this until now. Initially Gemini also suggested to do a PBO curve optimizer of -15, but since I was trying that with the previous memory issues, I for now left it at auto.
Context memory restore and fast boot are also turned off.
So far, I've managed to run the pc stably, playing through FF16 all weekend, and my temps running at 55 during low cpu usage scenarios, averaging at 64-67C in scenarios that involved 70+% CPU usage, and peaking at 73-75C, rarely spiking to 80C when loading shaders (especially after updating my GPU)
My questions are:
- I've seen people running 6200 MT/s with lower SOC voltage, should I consider dropping it down or leave it as is?
- If the pc is stable, is it worth doing a curve optimizer of -15? Or more?
- Any other settings I should consider tweaking and checking as a first time x3d user?
