Final say on SenseMI Skew on Asus Bios with Ryzen 1XXX series?

AriGee50 · November 8, 2019

So i have looked around and seen so many answers to this. Some say to enable it, some say to disable. Then things changed with later BIOS revisions and still some said to disable, some said to enable, sometimes for different reasons this time. Some say to set the skew amount to a certain number, but with some Asus BIOS you cant set that number (even though this is technically a "Strix" mobo, I dont have all of the BIOS options of the higher end Strix boards...wish I could have known that before hand...).

So now, in 2019, what is the final say? Enable SenseMI? Disable it? Maybe it no longer matters at all?

Ive gotten a stable 4.0 Ghz overclock on my 1700X with it disabled but I dont know if maybe I could get to a better OC by changing things. And also its just driving me nuts not knowing lol.

Thanks everyone!

I run it disabled, but I'm on a 2700X. From my testing there isn't any benefit to using it as it only changes the "perceived" CPU temp. Changing it can lead the CPU to believe its temps are lower, however, that will usually just introduce instability as it will run lower voltages for the "perceived" lower temps.
