Just recently built the following pc for gaming. Hadn't built one in about 25 years, Does anyone have any advice or tips on bios setting please. Want to optimise the computer as much as i can without heating it up. I have had prebuilt computers in between, so have seen bios's change over the years. But and help would be great. 

Thank you

Motherboard defaults have come a long way. You ought to have XMP already enabled, and on the higher end boards, precision boost should also already be on

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

A bit underwhelming.

 

 

Edit: sorry, you did not ask for advice on components. XMP is one of the most important thing concerning performance. But there are quote a few QoL settings too. But they are largely matter of preference. Like PC turning on when pressing USB keyboard key or mouse etc.

I edit my posts more often than not

PSU is absolute overkill, especially with the 5700XT GPU which is totally too weak for a 7800X3D, weird choice

But as far as BIOS goes nothing much to do on a x3D chip, you can undervolt it by -10 for better efficiency and temps

System : AMD R9  7950X3D CPU/ Asus ROG STRIX X670E-E board/ 2x32GB G-Skill Trident Z Neo 6000CL30 RAM / ASUS TUF Gaming AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC Edition GPU/ Phanteks P600S case /  Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 cooler (with 2xArctic P12 Max fans) /  2TB WD SN850 NVme + 2TB Crucial T500  NVme  + 4TB Toshiba X300 HDD / Corsair RM850x PSU

I knew i wanted to upgrade in the future. I had made a deal with someone for 1000w Corsair psu, but then he decided to up the price. So told him to shove it. Then spotted the Be Quiet! and paid £110 for. £10 more then i was originally gonna pay for the Corsair. 

The gpu is from my last computer. Which was an upgrade from a Geforce gtx 1070 last xmas. Gotta say i do prefer how the geforce worked. I understand some bits are odd, but it was a case of what i could afford at the time. I happen to get lucky on the cpu.

 

The last AMD cpu i had was a 450mhz something. So not use to them. I do know this computer sounds quieter than a graveyard compared to my last one. 

I've heard of undervolting and seen a few videos, but i don't really understand it and don't know if it will damage my cpu. Sounds like its making the cpu work harder to me.

 

ps  just looked up your gpu, way over my budget

The M600 is from my last computer, figured may as well use it. The os is on the m.2 drive along with some other main software i use.

 

I have the xmp on. first thing i did. And i know know what Qol is
