    Question Ryzen 7 3700x Underperforming

    Well, it took a bit of ram tightening with DRAM calc, a more aggressive fan curve, an auto core voltage, and a manual 4.2GHz base clock, but my benchmark scores are now truly average, with thermals no worse for the wear. I guess PBO just shouldn't be bothered with in my case.

    Question Ryzen 7 3700x Underperforming

    Do you mean by upping the base clock, like with Ryzen Master? The auto core voltage was 1.45V, which made it idle at ~60C and throttle easily. My research found this voltage was unnecessarily high for PBO. Is that wrong? Should I try reseating the cooler with different thermal paste?

    Question Ryzen 7 3700x Underperforming

    So a core voltage offset is a separate setting than manual core voltage?

    Question Ryzen 7 3700x Underperforming

    I've recently built a gaming pc (for the first time) for a friend, and I'm running several benchmarks. My R7 3700X is doing poorly, but not so poorly as to be unusable, and I want to figure out if it's just poor silicon or something else. In Cinebench R20, it's about ~25 points 1T and ~250...

    Added a new ssd - hdd won’t boot

    Hey everyone, I just installed a samsung 860 evo and used the creation tool on a usb to make it bootable. Now, my hdd won’t boot: when I set it to first priority, the ssd boots anyway, without the ssd, it can’t. The files are intact, I can read and write on it when using windows on my ssd...
