So, i was trying to get a curve optimize going and every guide says it takes a few hours, but this does not look like a few hours to me?
What CPU are you running? A 16 core CPU will take a lot longer than a 6 core CPU because it runs a complete test on each core, a single core at a time. You decrement the offset for a failed core, as many times as it needs until it finds one that doesn't cause errors during the tests.
It has to run a single core at a time to make sure it's boosting to the maximum boost clock possible during the test workload. And once you finds offsets for each core that don't fail you have to run it for at least three complete passes for confidence. And repeat that using a different testing program (Prime95, y-Cruncher are a couple provided) for highest confidence.
It is configurable so you could shorten the tests, but with somewhat lower confidence in the results. That may be OK if this is just a gaming machine.
But while it may be very time consuming to properly test custom CO offsets, when you consider that you can potentially lose days of intensive processing work should it crash in the middle of a task it's worth the time to do this for a production machine. Either that, or just accept the slightly lower performance that comes with leaving the manufacturing margins in place, as AMD designed it.
