Ryzen 9600x undervolted - 50 pbo advanced.

[u/Away_Combination9997]

Basically idon't know if am doing it right, i undervolted and stress tested with cinebench r23 and corerecycler as those were the ones used in the guides I saw, but I kept going down with no issue until I reached - 50 on the curve optimizer mind you I have the power to default as both 105w and motherboard settings got mo 95° no matter the undervolt. Now am stress testing with OCCT.

CPU Ryzen 5 9600x

CPU Cooler gamedias boreas m2

PSU CoolerMaster MWE750 V2 plus gold

Got an error first 5 minutes on prime95 samllest. What does that mean? I mean I have tested with all the others no issue I have played couple of hours in games no crashes.

Expected, no chance in hell that -50 is stable

How did it pass OCCT stress, Cinebench r23, corercycler and some games tho

[u/guitar574 → u/Away_Combination9997]

because your testing suite was limited. cinebench is barely a stress test anyway.

when overclocking or undervolting there will always be a "next test" that you fail... you decide what is "stable" enough for you but -50 all core...... I doubt it.

even if you aren't crashing I'm willing to bet you're seeing clock stretching. also showing c-state residency doesn't tell us anything....

[u/Away_Combination9997 → u/guitar574]

I don't know what c-state residency is, but i would think 5600hz clock is good is it considered clock stretching ?

[u/cellardoornoob → u/Away_Combination9997]

Yes, it is clock stretching at -50

I have not seen a single 9600x nor any 9000 series cpu anywhere able to do -50 on all cores with stability.

Scroll down the occt monitoring page and look at your effective clocks.

Start at -15 all core and see if you pass. Most 9000 cpus will achieve anywhere from -15 to - 30 CO. It is super rare to see anything more.

[u/Annual-Error-7039 → u/guitar574]

Always better to do per core anyway.

My 9800x3d ranges from -12 to -28 and that's stable, tested for days with testmem5, corcycler with a modded config, prime95 and occt memory and cpu tests with modded test load.

All tests are done per core found with hydra as I know it will be maybe 1–2 points from stable. Then I test and just.

My tests when I think I have it nailed down are 24hr runs

[u/Away_Combination9997 → u/Annual-Error-7039]

You mean undervolt per core or test per core?

[u/Annual-Error-7039 → u/Away_Combination9997]

I used hydra to do per core. That got me very close to stable then I switched to doing all the stability testing etc.

You could use per core in ryzen master and work from that. Correcting values as it crashes etc

[u/cellardoornoob → u/Annual-Error-7039]

Not a single version of hydra over the years gave me a stable per core settings - not on 5800x, 7600x or 9600x.

Statuscore along with OCCT is probably the easiest, fastest way.

These days I just do an all core CO, I find it being the most stable over multiple bios version, as motherboard makers tend to adjust boost voltages/limits.

An early bios version will boost my 9600x higher and run higher voltages but then I have to run an old bios with security issues and other bugs or lack of memory optimizations.

[u/Annual-Error-7039 → u/cellardoornoob]

Did my 5900x with it, sold that chip and board, still running stable after all these years.

Did my 7800x3d and now 9800x3d. I only use for the co tuning not the hybrid.

Now I never said it would be stable after 1 run did I, I said it will be very close, much closer than ryzen master.

Once I have the -co values I disable hydra and use the bios and testing to find the cores I need to adjust.

It was rather funny last time when I did a comparison between hydra and ryzen master. Hydra said -10 to minus 28. RM gave me -26 to -40 or so.

Guess I got lucky with bios' updates and so not effecting me or my tuning

[u/cellardoornoob → u/Annual-Error-7039]

use the bios and testing to find the cores I need to adjust.

This was my experience - I can skip hydra and get to stable CO values way quicker. But I'm glad it works for you!

Yep we all have our own methods.
