I've spent the last 5 minutes going through the stickies and the posts in the AMD OC specific threads, but not coming up with anything.
I upgraded my PC from a 9900K to a Ryzen 5 7600X, as a temp CPU until the 7800X3D comes out.
For my 9900K air cooled, I simply synced all cores to 50, set voltage high enough that it didn't crash P95, and made sure the line level load thingy was set to account for droop when the power hits the CPU. The PC ran at 5.0GHz at around 1.3v whatever, and the temps went up and down with power depending on what stress tester I used, anywhere from 120-230watts.
For my new AMD, I am completely lost as to what to do, and the online videos for PBO, or curve optimizing etc, are either all Zen3 related (seeing that Zen4 OC is completely different animal), or are doing weird super power cut stuff to the Ryzen 9 stuff to deal with multithreaded superloads. I just need to throw some simple settings at my 7600X for gaming, specifically Microsoft Flight Simulator, which wants single main thread as fast GHz as possible, and is happiest with SMT disabled. I did some 88000 75000 15000 PBO thing, I also did some negative 3 thing, and then tried the Ryzen Master Eco and OC curve GFX -30 things, but I have no clue what I am doing, other than I am seeing CPU speeds of anywhere from 5150-5450 (5.4 is stock, meh) depending on which of the above I plug in, with watts between 65-130 and temps between 45-90. The only time I ever saw 95c was stock out of the box MB settings with SMT.
I would love suggestions as to which overclocking or undervolting method I should pursue for 6 core SMT off gaming, and any links to up-to-date tutorials for those would be awesome. Looking for something simple I can apply with minimal stress testing at this time. The PBO -3, the PBO curve -30, and the Ryzen Master curve optimizers are the only three methods I am aware of currently, owning my first AMD CPU as of yesterday. I don't do any heavy multi threaded workloads other than stress testing programs. which from what I am reading don't account for undervolted Ryzen 7000 crashing under low load.
