Hello there.
I recently got a 5700X3D, and a pretty chonky cooler, the ID-COOLING FROZN A620 PRO SE to keep it under control. To my surprise, with stock CPU settings + an aggressive fan curve on both the cooler and the 5x Arctic P12 PWM PSTs (100% at 75C or more, 3 are intake, two are exhaust in a Cooler Master NR400 case) the temps go to 85C during an OCCT stress test. Negative 20 all core offset, as shown in the second picture, brought the temps down to 77C in the same test, which I can live with. The issue is PBO settings have to be set to "Advanced" in order to modify the curve optimizer, and I've heard that PBO on AM4 X3D chips is not recommended. I'm not an experienced overclocker, I know the basics only, so I'm here to simply ask: Should I change any other settings in the PBO screen?
I do apologize for the low quality screenshots, I tried to find if my B450M Pro4 has a screenshot function, couldn't find anything.
Should I change the PBO Limits from Auto to something else? There's an option to disable the limits, use motherboard limits, and another one that I can't remember now off the top of my head but if needed I can check what it is if you think it can help temps and/or performance. Should I change the Precision Boost Overdrive Scalar to 1x? Should CPU Boost Clock Override stay at disabled?
If I understand everything correctly my suspicion is that these settings are fine, but this is my first X3D chip, so any help and/or explanation regarding the interaction with these settings and the 5700X3D would be appreciated.
Cheers!
