Hello!
I am a bit confused about my bios settings for the AMD FX-8350 processor.
Since a few days I have this processor in my PC.
But I am still struggling with the bios settings to optimize this processor for games.
PC specifications:
MB: ASRock Extreme3 870 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8350
CPU-COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
CPU-COMPOUND: Arctic Cooling MX-4 Thermal Compound
GPU: ASUS R9 280X-DC2T (3GB DDR5)
DDR: Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX (2x 4GB ) PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600)
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 60GB
HD: Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX, 1TB
PSU: Corsair GS800 "2013"
I don't have plans to Overclock because I have just an CM-TX3-EVO Cooler and I am afraid that my CPU will burn than, I guess this processor is fast enough by it's own.
But it will be fine if I get the maximum out of this processor to start by setting the right bios settings.
I hope you guys can give me some advice wich options I shall Enable or Disable.
For example:
Overclock Mode (Auto)
Spread Spectrum (Auto)
CPU Active Core Control (Disabled)
AMD Turbo Core Technology (Auto)
AMD Application Power Management (Auto)
Multiplier/Voltage Change (Auto)
HT Bus Speed (Auto)
HT Bus Width (16 bit)
DRAM Frequency (Auto, DDR-1333)
DRAM Voltage (Auto, 1.653V)
CPU Load-Line Calibration (Auto)
NB Voltage (Auto, 1.145V)
HT Voltage (Auto, 1.20V)
CPU VDDA Voltage (Auto, 2.56V)
PCIE VDDA Voltage (Auto, 1.81V)
SB Core Voltage (Auto, 1.10V)
I researching al ready for day's, but I am really lost now.
For now I was thinking to Disable, Spread Spectrum, AMD Application Power Management, Cool 'n' Quiet, Secure Virtual Machine, Enhanced Halt Sate(C1E), Core C6 State, CPU Thermal Throttle, Aggressive Link Power Management
And set the DRAM Frequency to DDR-1600, because the modules are 1600 XMP or something.
If someone can give me some nice advice, that would be great!
Thank you in advance!
