undervolting 7800X3D

per core. ran prime95, corecycler, OCCT small medium large. passes all that. crashes in game. not sure what else to do to figure out which core is giving me a hard time.

Why do you want to undervolt it to begin with?

Welcome to the curve optimizer, where this type of this is very common. Stability under light loads/idles are incredibly unstable, while stress tests pass indefinitely.

Core Cycler can help, though personally I'd rather just lower all cores by 5 and not think about it.

first time doing per core. it is a pain in the ass. but i'm in it now and want to see it through.

You can spend the time in Core Cycler or you can do what I did this time around with 7800x3D and just wacked it on -20 all core and went about my business. Hasn’t crashed or exhibited any unstable behavior in the last 4 months or so. If it did, I’d just lower it by 5 and repeat.
