Hi, 
I currently use a 5900x and I am very happy with its performance, but not so much with its power consumption. Is there a way to reduce the power consumption?
On older chips you could undervolt, but afaik, undervolting doesnt really work for zen2 and zen3. I used CTR on my last chip (3800x) but was told, that it is a bad program and I shouldnt use it. I also currently use PBO with Curve Optimizer, which gives a nice boost in performance but doesnt really do a lot for power consumption. Do you have any idea?
Thanks for your help

Run it at stock, or eco mode for lowest consumption. As soon as you touch pb2 or curve your consumption/output will go up.
