Been trying to find a stable undervolt for my PC, going through the time to find a stable curve optimizer value on per-core setting. I've been following a PBO2 guide on youtube from a channel named Bosmang which worked really well when undervolting my 5800X. Unfortunately one of the methods used for finding out which core crashed/failed through logging WHEA errors on Event Viewer doesn't work on my 9800X3D as instead of my PC shutting off automatically on an unstable curve, my PC completely freezes until I manually shut it off myself which results in no log to see in the Event Viewer.
After using Prime95 which allowed me to find what cores to dial down on the undervolt before my PC freezes, I played a bit of the Monster Hunter Wilds beta which then froze my entire PC making me believe my curve wasn't stable. Went searching around for another alternative to Prime95 and found CoreCycler/Y-Cruncher, but even after running more tests to find another stable curve, I booted up Monster Hunter Wilds again and ran into another system freeze.
While it may just be the game causing this, I just want a stable undervolt that doesn't give me another system freeze. And I've been told I might have the worst luck of silicon lottery with the current curve setting I have being:
-16
-8
-16
-11
-9
-4
-18
-16
which I can assume is really low. Is there any way to fix the freezing on unstable settings and have my PC shut down automatically instead so I can at least see a WHEA error in Event Viewer?
