Set afinity for only one program

Hi,
So I don't post my own topics, but that's where I am right now.
I have a 3800X with a B550 chipset and an NZXT 240mm in an open case so don't tell me I shouldn't overclock because it works.
I only play CSGO, I want the best performances possible and it can only use a certain number of threads because of the source engine.
So what I planned to do was to set the affinity to use only CPU 0-3 & 8-11.

Then I wouId overclock those threads and underclock the other ones.

But I can't find a way to only have csgo allowed to use the overclocked threads.
Also if you had an all in one solution for both having csgo using the overclocked ones and everything else using the underclocked ones (windows and system process include)

Thats not how you should do it, AMD CCX design means that the best cores are not sitting on 1 single cluster, it can be in 1 of the chiplet or both of it. You should open up Ryzen Master to see which core the system marked as "favored" and set your affinity and overclock focus based in that.

Yeah I already did that, and the best cores are 1 2 5 & 6. And I know that It work but I just can't figure out how to set affinity in a way that csgo is the only one abble to use them and having it stay after a reboot. Here's a screenshot of how my OC is setup if you want.image.thumb.png.953e3a998bd222de2bfac9f4fcf3f155.png

Thanks for your time tho 🙂
