Optimizing Ryzen 7 5800X3D - Higher performance, Lower temperature | Undervolting | Curve Optimizer 

I just installed Ryzen 7 5800x3d. First I had on CPU stress ~80°C temp even with watercooler. After these settings it dropped to 70°C. CPU cores are stable and everything works fine. It was useful. Thank you so much for this video. And the video is short no shit talking. Guys this video will help you 100%.

You just hitting straight to the points no drama no unnecessary info you earned a new sub bro

I am 1 minuite into the video and i had no other choice but to pause and thank you for making a great video, in 1 minute you were able to display the issue, explain it and visualize it. Not many people are able to do that. Hats off. subscribed.

I had my 5800X3D running at -25 all-core for a few months. Yesterday, after watching this video I set up and tested the CPU to run at -30 all-core, with your 100-70-100 you showed as the limits. JUST WOW, the temperatures are way lower, and the 100W limit definitely helps on that. I did some load and stability testing using Cinebench and OCCT extreme, and I saw that I did indeed win the silicon lottery, the CPU runs stable as a rock, the clock speeds attained with my MasterLiquid Lite 240 AIO were stable, no more thermal throttling and spikes in clock speeds, as the CPU barely went to tempretures of 80 C. During gaming, it never goes above 75 C, barely gets to 72 or 73 degrees, and runs at a stable 4.5GHz clock speed. In OCCT extreme tests, it was stable at 4.4GHz, and in Cinebench it stabilized at 4.35GHz after a bit. It did lose some points in Cinebench compared to my previous PBO settings which did not have the custom limits, but it is day and night in both gaming perfomance and in thermals and power consumption. I recommend everyone with such a CPU try these settings and adjust to their liking. I found that your settings in the video work well for me. I may be able to set the limits a tad bit higher, but it does not seem it will be worth it... Great video overall

Thanks man this really works like a charm. I'm now running under 75°C during stress testing. My cooler is a Peerless Assassin.

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I followed all the paths you taught on the 5800X3D and it turned out great. performance and temperature. thank you very much!

just got this cpu and ran it for the first time and tried it out and was damn near reaching its TJ max temp of 90C degrees but, just by under volting the cpu by 30 offset brought it down a whopping 30C degrees along with adjusting my cpu fan curve. Thank you so much and ill definitely take free fps for less power strain on the system 👍

A tip for MSI users - mostly older MSI mother boards (B450 etc) - you might not find PBO feature in the BIOS itself - but you can find "Kombo Strike 3" option in the Overclocking/advanced CPU settings, which will give you 1 / 2 / 3 options - translating to an offset of 10 / 20 / 30 respectively.

of all the videos about undervolting the 5800x3d on RU-vid, and man did I watch a ton of them, this is the best one. Thank you for explaining it without keeping the secret for yourself, for not being mysterious by showing results, thank you for your professionnalism.

Great video, already had all cores -30, but setting custom power limits was indeed worth it now

Thank you so much for the straight forward video, I have applied the same exact values on my Ryzen 7 5800X3D and temps are perfect. On full load it sits on 70c degrees and idle 35c degrees without lossing performance. Greetings from Costa Rica! Note: a few cores made it to 4.5gz

Great explanation. It's the first time I've ever had this explained so easily.

Having tried this.. oh wow! What an amazing difference you've made to my thermal issues. Upgraded from an r5 3600 to 5800x3d and using a cheap ac freezer 7 pro cooler.. 3 heat pipes and not enough for a 5800x3d.. but.. Having applied your power inputs.. wow! Have gone from bouncing off 90c to 80c with more ghz to boot. Thank you! You' saved me 130 pounds, not buying a noctua. ❤

Followed some other guys "tutorial" which was pretty much setting an offset under the voltage settings. Which was hella unstable with clock speeds dipping a lot and temps not really dropping. But after finding your vid and properly setting things under curve optimizer my clock speed is stable at 4.45mhz no dips or anything with lower temps really insane. Thanks bro 👍

Really appreciate this. With my B550 steel legends latest bios, I am at -30 all cores (did not do a lot for temps and just a small performance gain). However, combined with ppt, tdc and edc limits, I am seeing a reasonable increase in boost and all core of around 200 mhz. My temps have gone from say 90C on prime 95 to around 70C! Power usage has dropped significantly too. VERY efficient chip now. I have been testing for 2 weeks in benchmarks and general use. ZERO downsides and no loss in stability. So nice to be able to do this in bios and lock in the settings. The combo here is really the winner - don't just undervolt!!

I set offsets to -25 and did the other setting you recommended now I’m getting 20-30 fps boost consistently. Thanks brother! My cpu is now running at 40-50 Celsius degrees while gaming and 20-25 Celsius while idle/ browsing etc. The combo like other said is the true winner!

Just slotted a 5800X3D into my X570 MEG Unify (replacing a 3600). Have a ThermalRight Dual-Fin Peer-less Assassin 120SE (Saw GN rave on about it a while back) - did the pea + dots in corner methods for thermal paste. Will give this undervolting a go and see how it all works. Thanks for this! I love my X570 MEG Unify, I didn't want to jump up to AM5. 5800X3D will keep me going for years to come.

I bought this cpu and was running almost every game at 90c. I looked into reducing temps, found undervolting solution but every video wanted me to download 5 programs and had 30 minute tutorials so I put it off for 2 months lol. Wish I would have found your video earlier. Thanks for making it so simple. Originally this took my temps from down about 5 degrees but it would still peak at 90. My back fan is broken so I knew that was causing problems. I added a 2nd fan (pull) to my cpu cooler and boom I'm now getting temps in the 60s and peaking at 77 even with that broken back fan. Huge difference for me thanks man. Now I can stop heating my bedroom in the summer.

I came back here to thank you for the video! I got the best results with -20 all core and the sets of 100/70/100 as shown. I linked this tutorial in the last video on my channel. Thank you so much!

friend, I already commented thanking you. and I'm coming back to thank you again. I did exactly the same PBO configuration months ago and it's still perfect. It reduced the temperature a lot, maximum 73 degrees. measure 65 degrees. and maintaining all the power of the 5800X3D. Researching, I discovered that the 5800X3D supports up to RTX 4080 with 100% GPU usage. Thank you again. hug from Brazil.

To be honest I was disappointed with the heat of this CPU...until I watched this! Even with my 280mm AIO temps were usually around 77 while gaming. This is hands down the quickest and easiest thing I ever did to get better performance and lower temps. Never thought I'd see my chip running so cool (just above 62 degrees while intense gaming), and seemingly locked at 4450mhz constantly. Thanks so much!! You are a legend

Bruh, what did you do to my CPU?!? It's now running with a package power of 60-70W and die temp of 60-70C air cooled in game with as many or more frames than before. The CPU fan doesn't even reach max RPM. Dark forces are at work. Thanks!! ❤ The 5800X3D is godly, even today.

This was the best undervolting guide that I have came across. I am hitting 14942 in cinebench compared to the stock 14061. Thank you so much

Did this for my 5700X3D, idle temps went from 55C all the way to hovering around 46-48C, great guide

Some advice for people having trouble enabling SAM or "re-sizeable BAR": not only could it be named something different in your BIOS, but even after updating the BIOS and chipset drivers you could see the option "greyed out" or unavailable in the settings. In my case it was because another feature in the boot settings needed to be disabled first to be able to use resizable BAR (AMD CBS or CPS I think it was called). So make sure to look up the settings for your specific motherboard! for my Asrock above the greyed-out option it had a line of text saying the option that needed to be disabled but it's easy to miss. Also use the tuning software that is meant for your motherboard if available. The exception is the AMD chipset driver installer. In my experience the AMD chipset installer provided on the motherboard support page is often out of date or gives an error, so I would use the official installer from the AMD website, which will scan your system and install the appropriate drivers anyways, you don't need motherboard-specific software for that. Same for AMD graphics drivers, get them direct from the AMD website.

This was a game changer. My Ryzen 7 5800x3d was running at about 85C at 100% load, and now it’s running at about 73C with minimal or no performance loss in games. My fans are much quieter as a result and my room doesn’t get so toasty anymore

I have a 360 rad so temperatures have never been an issue, set the offset to -30 and the all core settled at 4.45Ghz on a 30min stress test, great results man

Easy and straight to the point. Thank you for the help man :3

Thanks for the video. I am using -25 all cores, 100 PPT, 70 TDC, 100 EDC and 80 Temp limit. Got best score on Cinebench with these figures. I have a budget cpu air cooler, so everytime my temperature was sitting at 90 when playing. Now I play without any worries.

Thank you for the video. I settled on -25 with 100 70 100 per your video on a 5700x3d and achieved ~ -5-10c degree reduction in gaming and a higher cinebench score.

Tried these setting, it's working like a charm. Ty

Thank you so much for the tips. I was hitting 80c on cinebench R23, now is hit 70c and with high scores too

Thank you very much man. With that settings i dropped my temp from 79-80 to 66-68 in BF2042 and i won arround 15 fps. You are an hero.

I have no words to thank you! Straight to the point, no frills, and using the same settings as in your video for my Aours Elite X570 Motherboard. I did the -30 for curve optimization and 100 -70 -100. Under full load on Lies of P with all graphics settings on Best, I didn't go beyond 58ºC (my cooler is the Peerless Assassin 120 Black, I've also used the Noctua NH-2 as thermal paste). I'm consistently hitting 144fps with my MSI 4070 Super 12GB O.C. Edition and 32GB of Corsair RAM at 3200MHz. I take my hat off to you.

Great video and straight to the point. A note for others running MSI motherboards: For MSI motherboards, update to the latest BIOS version. The undervolting is called KOMBO strike. It is listed in 3 levels: 1, 2, and 3 which equal -10, -20, and -30 all core undervolt. I was stable at all core -30 with now over 6 months of stability testing and gaming. CPU runs at a boost clock of 4450 consistently and runs around 60-70c on a 360 AIO in most games. On benchmarks like Cinebench it never hits 80c.

I just bought my cpu and havent installed it yet. Glad to have found your video and it will help me out this weekend when i get my cpu up and running.

Awesome video, straight to the point with very useful information. Thanks!

Thank you sir. I applied your settings and gained a few degrees, while reducing my fan speed and also gaining clock speed. That's crazy. my b550M ds3h rev 1.4 doesnt support on bios curve optimizer, so I had to use PBO2 Tuner and make a task to start it on user log on with custom arguments "-30 -30 -30 -30 -30 -30 -30 -30 100 70 100 0". Works perfectly. Thank you again, my 5800x3d runs great while quiet now

got 20 more fps, thanks a Lot the explanation is top tier.

Been thinking about getting this processor recently. Will keep this video in mind. Thank you so much!

PPT, TDC, and EDC was grey out for me but I turned off SMT and set the -30 for the curve optimizer since the pc was for gaming. Temps drop 16c so I was running at 54.3c and maintained 4450 MHz clock speeds Edit: Even though its greyed out you can still click on it and type a value. Applied all the settings and got a 7c reduction in temps and my cinebench score went up 200 for multicore. I turned smt back on for this.

Thank you so much for this video. This changed my temps drastically in a good way and even increase to performance since the cpu hits constantly 4450 mhz. 😊

-30, ppt: 95, tdc: 60, edc; 90 - I use these, and my PC performs perfectly

Wanted to throw in my thanks here. The curve alone gave me a 275MHz across all cores on prime95 at the same 90c. When I applied 100-70-100, I dropped back to 4000 at 70c. I tweaked it a little further to 110-83-110 and that gave me 4250 across all cores at 81c, which I'm more than happy with. I'm able to single boost a core up to 4.45 at 70c while gaming STALKER Anomaly which is an old title that is single threaded. good stuff, thank you!

Did follow your settings on bios. -30 on all cors + plus I decided to under volt CPU by 1.000. (I didn’t mess with ppt, Tdc, edc left them on Auto) currently my 5800x3d 4550mhz all the time stable with no dips on speed. Temps top 72c the avg 68c. Thanks! Just a recommendation if any wants to get those results make sure to update your bios to the latest, and download your latest motherboard chipset driver 👍

Thank You very much! I reduced temp by about 30° and gained performance with negative 25 setting. Legend!!!

thank you!

Hats off mate. No bullshit, straight to solution. My idle temps went down from 70 to 45-40 celcius, low settings ow2 and cs2 are at over 400 and 600 fps with temperatures capped at 55 max. Thank you.

Passando pra agradecer pela dica do video, apliquei no meu setup e de fato houve uma melhora significativa nos frames e redução da temperatura, os clocks se mantem quase fixos em 4450mhz PC Specs: R7 5800X3D X570i ROG Noctua N9A (aguardando a vinda do novo gabinete para substituir pelo Noctua D15) 2x16GB 4600c18 2x2TB Kingston nv2 Raid 0 RX 6700 XT FE (aguardando a vinda da RTX 4070 TI) CM NR200 CM V850 SFX

thank you very much! Now i love my 5800X3D even more :)

I have 5800x3d w/ASUS b550f. I can set the -30 on all cores and have no issue, but the bios won’t let me change PPT TDC or EDC, it is fixed on “auto” any suggestions?

You sir helped me fix my temp issues, liked n subbed

Отличное очень информативное видео! Спасибо.

Great video. You’ve completely transformed my CPU experience. Whereas before I had concerns, now I have nothing but a pleasant sense of achievement, with precisely the method you described. Anyone watching this video with an 5800X3D, do this immediately.

For anyone with an msi board its alot easier to do this in your bios just look for kombo strike and put it on level 3 its the same as curve optimiser -30 its a one click solution mine runs cooler and clocks higher

Awesome tutorial! Guys if something doesn't work for you, be sure to update your BIOS to the newest available version! I was constantly crashing on old bios. Couldn't undervolt more than -10. When I updated BIOS to the newest possible, -30 and PPT TDC EDC are running smooth as butter, not a single crash and my temperatures went down by 20°C!

For Ryzen 7 5700X3D??

at -30 my pc crashed, lowered to -25 and with all your other settings it's going great. Thank you so much because your settings made me lower the temperatures by about 7/8 degrees. Simple and exhaustive video, you have all my admiration. Thanks :)

How limitation of PPT , TDC and EDC improve performance ? I don't understand.

Well done my friend. Short, sweet and straight to the point! Big Thank you!

Hey there! Used this guide and I have big (as it appears) instability issues, yet I really want this implemented as having low temps is important in my current setup. I am playing Path of Exile and that only, and at everything I have tried - it always crashes at some point (without PBO it never crashes). Things In have tried: Curve optimizer -30/-25/-20/-15 with ppt:100, tdc:70, edc:100 Curve optimizer -30 with no limits. At all of these I was getting my game crashed, please help me out, how do I work with this one so it gets stable and I get my temps down? Thanks to everybody in advance.

Thank you!! I did all this and cinebench23 all core test temperatures dropped from 90.5 to 81! And score was much better also and now my computer is silent. 5/5

For me minus 25 on all cores without touching any other thing it runs stable at 4450mhz and on lower temps. I heard minus 30 offset can harm your cpu in longer distances.

You are a GOD in my 👁️ holy crap. Went from microstutter with my 7900xt to buttery smooth. Thank you kind Sir

For me only -15 are getting stable performance. Otherwise it reboots just by opening chrome

5 minute video and to the point. This guy does not fuck around. Other RU-vid creators should be taking notes on doing this.

Thank you so much, from 80degress have now 45 constantly

Tried your settings and wow the temps just went from toasty to cool, and performance wise it was better than before

I have the same Mb brand, I just copied your settings exactly and my 5800x3d got a significant drop in full load temps. Thanks for this video!

Thank you! This video saved me from regretting buying my 5800x3d

the best video of optimization for ryzen 7 5800x3d. thanks

That is awesome tutorial and it works perfectly fine with my 5800X3D with B550 motherboard. I tested my CPU in R23 and the score is the same and temps are -10 degrees !!! Like holy moly man I love you for this video :)

Heey amazing video! But how in the world can temps improve when the chip is using more power? are those numbers by afterburner wrong, or is it actually consuming more power?

GG bro, after the setup, i saved the config and i didn't really saw any change on temp but after launching a gaming, I saw big change, an offset to -30 and my cpu running from 60-70 in game to 50-45 celsius, real og mate

Thanks !! 😍 My setup: MB Aorus Elite X570S + 5800X3D + Dark Rock Pro 4 NB: the Ryzen Master doesn't show the curve optimizer settings. Thus, as you well explained, everything has been done in the BIOS. R23 Multi (120min runtime) → Stock version: 13906 score & temp around 82°C PBO-30 + 100 PPT, 70 TDC, 100 EDC: 14533 score & temp around 74°C Conclusion: decrease the temperature of 8°C + slightly increase the global performance since the bost freq was perfectly stable @4.45GHz on all cores. Again a big thank for the clear and easy HowTo. 👍👍

This solved all my temperature problems, thank you for this video man

hello, i followed your guide and everything is stable running at -30 all cores and 100 70 100 set up just like you did. however i downloaded ryzen master and on there it shows that curve optimizer is off. ‘CO - OFF’ is what i see, have i done something wrong? i rememeber when i under older my 5600x before and looked on ryzen master it showed -20 on there but now for this cpu its not showing. i see that the the power limit etc has changed so im assuming the -30 is applied?

Thanks for the explanation, do you think that a be quiet dark rock 2 can maintain good temperatures with these settings in bios?

Amazing tutorial, and definitely earned a sub! Would you recommend the same values in this video for the 5600x3d?

Epic tutorial man, keep up the great work =D

Nice video ser, how is your combo 3080 and 5800x3d in battlefield 5?

What programs do you recommend for testing stability and for how long? I'm new to this. Thanks!

Excellent video and very easy to see how to undervolt. My 5800x3d during the gaming is maximum 53C which is incredible. I just used the same settings as you and it works as a charm. Thank you

thanks man! I got 10 deg cooler in a game I play after adjusted the PPT, TDC, EDC and curve optimizer.

thanks for the video, earlier on the b550 tomohawk there were no pbo limits with a bios update added. Thanks to your video, I found out

I've been running negative 30 all cores in PBO for some time and it really helped to bring my temps down. Now setting 100/70/100 has brought my temps down by another 5c, but I've lost 300 points on my Cinebench score and CPU only boosts to 4300, previous was 4400.

Deserved a subscribe! Amazing job!

Great video. What software are you using to get the in-game overlay with the hardware stats?

Been using the same mediocre(at least I thought it was) MSI air cooler since 2017. 5800x3d user for almost a year now. I usually do heavy rendering and high performance gaming stuff. Never seen the 5800x3d above 67 degrees celsius. Just do what it says in the video for your own sake. Great informative material.

thank you! I went from 85c before undervaulting and now im getting mid to high 60s

Although I had no trouble with temps on stock (up to 73, with Phantom Spirit 120 SE), clocks couldn't go higher than 4250 mhz. Applied your settings (30 negative all cores, 100 70 100) and together with CPPC enabled and CPPC Preferred Cores disabled, under AIDA64 Extreme stress test, temps are now up to 66 - 67 and clocks are on 4450 mhz. Stable! So thanks a bunch, you helped an absolute noob undervolt his cpu and drain that extra 200 mhz out of it.

Thank you so much! Temps dropped from 82 to 68 with a 240mm water cooler.

Thank you for this helpful video, I upgraded from 5600x and my temps from playing Warzone 2 was averaging 75-80, whereas with my 5600x it was cooler,, I’ll try these settings.

Thx bro. Mines 10 in cinebench 23. You are the best!

Originally my 5800X3D was jumping from around 4.27Ghz to 4.35Ghz while gaming. After applying negative 20 on the curve optimizer(negative 30 crashed) Now it's steady at 4.45Ghz. Thanks!

I have fixed my stuttering problems when playing and increased the fps. Thank you.

Great video man, thanks! Would you recommend a water cooler instead of an air cooler for this CPU?

Thanks for this video, i will make the tests and back here to share with u guys

Tried this on both my 5800X3D and 5700X, both are stable. Thank you.

Exactly the video i needed thank you 👍🏻
