[SOLVED] Enyone knows some gigabity gaming x b550 BIOS TWEAKS?

[DirtyTommy]

Hi!
I have gigabity gaming x b550,so its new to me.I bought it coz of 5600x.
I need help with BIOS settings for better performance(google.com no results for my problem.)
Thanks!

Right now, not many people have Zen3 CPU's so not a lot of forum traffic on them. But the 'safe' thing is simple:

Keep your board's BIOS up to date as AMD is releasing AGESA improvements that can be significant to performance and stability.

Install the latest AMD chipset drivers downloaded from the AMD web site to make sure they're the latest too.

Run VCore voltage and VCore frequency in AUTO for now. You can enable PBO but you'll probably need pretty good cooling...a lot better than the stock Wraithe that comes with 5600X's. If you want to experiment around with manual fixed overclocking go ahead but you will again need much better than stock cooling to keep temp in control.

And again, with not much forum traffic on it, what's 'safe' as far as voltages go just isn't well known. Experimenting with under-volting using offsets sounds like a really good idea, especially coupled with PBO. Just be sure to measure actual performance in addition to stability... and especially single thread performance... as you're doing it.

Also enable XMP or DOCP or whatever it is called on your board for memory overclocking.

Let us know your experiences.

The only thing you really should do with a Ryzen system is to make sure the RAM is operating at the speed its rated for. Otherwise, you can leave everything else alone.

It's also hard to push Ryzen processors enough to gain a meaningful performance boost without dumping as much money if not more into cooling as you did the processor.

HEY!
Thanks for RPL!
1)Bios is up to date.
2)Chipsets are up to date.
3)PBO - enabled (I have water cooling H115i) Overclocked to 4.6 with 1,240v. Temps are 30-35,when playing 50 - 60MAX
4)XMP - Enabled
5)using offsets - in this mob its hard to understand where is that...

There is this problem what i can not understand- I am playing CSGO,when i uncap my fps (fps_max 0,i have 350-700fps IN GAME. But when i want to cup my fps at 300(fps_max 300) it gous crazy- 250-280.Eny idias?
In some forums theay talking about downcoring-I set it to 4,6(and its showing that) but its not working full power(4.3gz max usaeg) and its like jumping UP and DOWN...is there is way to set it (it uses all the time 4.6gz? Or i dont understand something....

Thanks againd!
I am still a bit Noobie with OC.

"Down coring" as I know it means running with fewer cores than the processor's max by disabling them in BIOS. The idea is that since games don't use all that many cores simultaneously running fewer cores won't get processor so hot and so won't pull back on clocks for the cores it does use. It became a 'thing' especially on the 8, then 12 and 16 core Ryzens when they came along. But it's pretty much bogus as Ryzen's boost algorithm does the same thing for you since it only boosts the core running the processing thread that needs it at the time. Unused cores are put in a 'deep sleep' state and not contributing to the heat load. But as with most rumors and myths passed around the internets once started they're get a life of their own.

Ryzen has a very aggressive boost algorithm that spikes up the clock for a core when needed, then lowers it when it's not. As the processing loads becomes more heavily threaded (meaning more cores need boosting) and the processor heats up it will boost to less-high clocks. It's the way it works and trying to lock the clocks to a fixed one usually results in lowered performance for light threaded tasks like games.

Not sure what value FPS in the 250-300 range offers and I'm pretty sure any quirkiness there will be far more complicated than just looking at the CPU...meaning GPU, drivers and the game engine itself might be just as much involved.
