3900x Power Plan Setting Help & more?

[ChaoticChaosx]

So I was reading a article today that I realized I didn't have any AMD power plan options so as of now I've updated AMD chipset drivers and my motherboards bios. Now I have 4. 

I've done this; - .10 offset vcore, cause I've always had that since build. After reading this this is where I'm at.

I'm now using that power plan with these bios settings

• Global C-state Control = Enabled
• Power Supply Idle Control = Low Current Idle
• CPPC = Enabled
• CPPC Preferred Cores = Enabled

Now with all this I wanna make sure I'm not harming my CPU & getting a better performance than previously.

4.2/4.25 all core during gameplay with just the -.10 offset.

Anyone have experience with settings like this?

Here is the original one I stumbled upon.

I understand most of it. HAHA.

Well this is all trial and error plus user preference.

 

You have some testing to do!

 

I hope you return and share your results. 

 

If you have specific questions, please ask!

Right well since post I've ran prime 95 small fft for about 30 minutes and occt all sets 20 minutes each and about the same as previous. About 4.1-4.25Ghz. So in game should be about the same I assume due to 4.2 constant in most games.

 

I am wondering however if the offset on the Vcore would mess with the boost clocks with what i have changed and adjusted in the bios?

It's a 2 way street. 

lower voltage = lower temps (hopefully) = better boost therms = higher all cores.

But sometimes, causes instability. 

Stick with the -offset when stable. Decrease until it's not stable. 

Give a little bit back for stability and continue testing there.

 

Generally, If going heavy load (gaming or work + streaming ect.), Ryzen or 1Mus Performance. 

Balanced or power savings when browsing and watching vids, light work ect. 

 

I toggle with a program called QuickCpu. The one main and only real reason I use it, is have the ability to easily turn off core parking without editing my registry. Also, in the memory tab, can quickly clean the system and cached memory. This may increase your performance slightly as well. If you are already overclocking and tweaking in another program or bios, don't use this program in conjunction for tweaks (mainly for Intel). But it's a good utility to have on hand. Also, Cpu-z. You can validate your clocks.

Yes I do stream and game from one system I'm 1usmus power plan (Performance I guess cause its 99%min-100%max cpu) I'll try ryzen performance too and yes that sounds like an excellent program. Will be getting that.

Thanks for the information too. For the heavy load and light load, appreciate it, Makes more sense that way. Yes, about the offset I think releasing a little will give me better performance I may holding it back. I do have a nice cooler so might as well.

Well you can also check EDC and PPT in Ryzen Master (if you use that program). I use gaming mode occasionally will increase EDC and PPT thresholds. Let it have a little more power cause it's available. For some reason, mine likes to restrict to 90a in the meantime I limit it manually to 120a.

Yeah, I did set that in bios. I don't use ryzen master anymore just HWinfo for things like that when testing, which I read is accurate as of last update.

 

I can say my system boots faster then spinning windows loading 3 times.Now don't even see it spin before desktop like when I had my intel, which is nice to see or not see I suppose. Hah. Will keep trying voltage things just slowly not to damage anything I never overclock this chip as setting frequency or voltage I just kept offset for lower temps for higher clock boosts. Cinebench score went up about 200 or so points so some benefit was seen there with rendering which I also do sometimes in sony vegas using MeGUi.

How about your memory. Do you have XMP/DOCP enabled? That's always worth some performance gains also.

I do have D.O.C.P. set at 3200mhz (which what my memory is on box) and 1600 flck
