7800x3d bios settings cs2

You can try undervolting it, but make seriously sure it doesn't crash if you try that. Look up 7800x3D undervolting on internet searches and see if you find anything. However, as long as your RAM is running at the speed on the package, and your CPU / motherboard are happy at these settings, I'd reckon to leave it alone. You pretty much have one of the best chips out there for running that game right now as it is, it doesn't really gain much from trying to OC either. Sometimes you can keep highest boost clocks for a bit longer through undervolting, but with a liquid cooler on there already I wouldn't worry too much about it. Sometimes undervolting gives great max boost holds, but it may crash it when idle, so be careful with this and know this if you get strange errors or lockups while idle when undervolted. Personally, I wouldn't fuss with it. Just have the latest BIOS and drivers on there and you should be good. OC attempts by raising voltage / wattage not recommended on x3D chips due to increased sensitivity to this very thing by having 3d v-cache.

r/counterstrike2 on Reddit: [GUIDE] CS2 Optimization – 975.4 AVG / 321.9 1% Low @1280x960 (Ryzen 7 7800X3D + RX 9070 XT)

December 15, 2025 -

Hi everyone, After a lot of testing, benchmarking, and trial & error, I wanted to share a clean and stability-focused optimization guide for people running similar hardware.

Benchmark Results (CS2) • Resolution: 1280×960 • Average FPS: 975.4 • 1% Low: 321.9

This setup is focused on real smoothness and frametime consistency, not chasing higher numbers at the cost of gameplay quality.

⸻

My PC Specs • CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D • GPU: AMD Radeon Sapphire RX 9070 XT Pure • RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 – 6000 MHz CL38 • Motherboard: ASUS Prime B650M-K • PSU: Gigabyte 850W 80+ Gold (White) • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD • OS: Windows 11 25H2 (Original, fully updated)

⸻

Important Philosophy (OC / Undervolt Reality Check)

A small FPS gain from overclocking or undervolting is meaningless if it introduces: • screen tearing • micro-stutters • inconsistent frametimes

In my testing, aggressive OC/UV setups sometimes showed slightly higher average FPS, but gameplay felt worse, not better. Lower AVG with stable frametimes > higher AVG with tearing and stutters.

That’s why this guide focuses on stock stability instead of chasing numbers.

⸻

System Preparation • Fresh Windows 11 install • All Windows updates installed • BIOS updated to latest version • All drivers downloaded ONLY from ASUS motherboard website • AMD Adrenalin + Chipset installed • Power plan handled automatically by Process Lasso

⸻

BIOS Settings

After extensive testing, I found STOCK BIOS = BEST RESULT

❌ Disabled • PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) • Caused noticeable stuttering in CS2 • SMT (Simultaneous Multithreading) • Results: • +30–40 FPS AVG • +~15 FPS on 1% lows • Much smoother frametimes

✅ Enabled • Secure Boot • Memory Context Restore • EXPO/XMP enabled (6000 MHz)

⸻

AMD Adrenalin Settings • GPU Profile: QUALITY • Performance profile resulted in 30–40% fewer FPS • AMD Anti-Lag: ENABLED • No Radeon Chill • No forced sharpening

⸻

CS2 – Clean Config

Disable Steam Cloud 1. Steam → Library → Counter-Strike 2 2. Right click → Properties 3. General → Disable Steam Cloud

Delete Old Config

Steam\userdata<your_steam_id>\730\local\cfg

Delete everything inside and launch CS2.

⸻

Process Lasso Setup • Disable CPU Core 0 for cs2.exe • CPU Priority: High • Power plan managed automatically

Improved consistency during heavy fights and reduced stutters.

⸻

Final Thoughts • No overclocking • No undervolting • No PBO • No aggressive BIOS tuning • No Windows debloat scripts

Just clean OS + correct scheduling + stable hardware behavior.

If you’re running 7800X3D + AMD GPU, this approach may give you better real-world performance, even if AVG FPS looks slightly lower on paper.

Hope this helps someone 🙌 Feel free to share results or ask questions.

r/overclocking on Reddit: Anyone running a Ryzen 7 7800X3D + RTX 5060 for CS2 or Valorant? What settings are you using?

February 6, 2026 -

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to fine-tune my system for competitive games, mainly CS2 and Valorant, with a big focus on stable 1% lows and smooth frametimes (reducing micro stutter as much as possible).

My setup:

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: RTX 5060 8GB
RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30
Motherboard: B650M TUF
240mm AIO cooler
PSU: 600W (I know this can vary a lot between builds)

I’d love to hear from people with a similar build, even if your PSU or motherboard is different.

Some questions:

Are you running PBO or keeping the CPU stock?
Are you using Curve Optimizer? If so, what values?
Just EXPO for RAM, or did you tweak memory settings further?
Do you cap your FPS in-game or leave it uncapped?
Any specific BIOS settings that noticeably improved 1% lows?

Feel free to share FPS / 1% low numbers or just what worked best for you in real gameplay.
I’m mainly looking for smooth competitive performance, not just benchmark averages.

Pbo is stock behaviour in my eyes but.. Pbo +50 overide just because.. -25CO Had cl26 6200 going and im working on 6400 28-37-37-32-32-64-4-8-20-4-16-48-trfc500-4-4-26-12-16-4 ARdPtrInitVal: 2 (to match phyrdll)

Ok, generally speaking I would recommend to do things your way. Get a demo for 3dmark on steam for repeatable results in testing. Then off autostart apps in the task manager and if you want to additionally turn off windows real time protection and set the priority to high. (Do as many of these steps you are bothered to do each time you restart the pc after bios changes, but every step improves consistent results from run to run. Also using all your apps on, would be more like a real life scenario with the penalty, so try that as well when your kinda done) Pbo- haven't tried since it runs supper good on very low power so idk if it results in any proper differences, Curve optimiser- ideally find a negative curve offset value that is sustainable in a variety of tests that are consistent with your use case. Then try to switch to individual cores and see if some could be pushed lower (if you test only games and synthetic tests you could afford lower offset values with an occasional blue screen which is normally bad [could corrupt the windows]) try something light for measuring temps and W and hertz I like hwinfo, test stuff like cinnebench Aida stress test and prime 95 in order of hardcore-ness of load for the CPU. Expo- actually hardcore overclocking on YouTube (bildzoid) makes perfectly understandable tested profiles that should work on your kit of ram for some improvement depending on what you got (could be few could be 10 percent if you're lucky and your game/application needed it) Fps cap: screen dependent. If you have variable refresh rate gsync/freesync I just let it uncapped with sync on and checking in the GPU driver app that all is doing well. So essentially you and screen are cooperating to make it best possible automatically. Check that your screen is in the proper overdrive mode so it works good at high FPS (maybe check tests like rtings website or monitors unboxed reviews [YouTube] for that model or a similar one) 1 percent lows are just a result of allowing your CPU to perform it's best by giving it good thermal headroom (AIO should be absolutely overkill for that bad boy [have the same CPU it's great]) making sure you're using a good undervolt, ram is performing good and all the background application are not misbehaving. (Pause windows updates make sure stuff isn't downloading and hogging the bandwidth etc.) Have fun dwelling deep into the sheer gameplay of achieving the best your exact hardware can get you. God speed

7800X3D best BIOS settings | [H]ard|Forum

July 31, 2023 - It's a living room PC so I don't really care about any other performance being left on the table for productivity. I set my SoC voltages to 1.225 iirc after that CPU burn issue came up but I'm still on a way earlier BIOS. I'm pretty sure its AGESA 1.0.0.6 since that's what I had to flash to once I upgraded to the 7800X3D.

r/overclocking on Reddit: C-states on AMD (7800X3D/9800X3D): enabled or disabled?

June 19, 2025 -

Haven't really messed with C-states, but this video recently popped up in my feed and made me curious.

The gist of it is that forcing C-states on (by manually enabling the setting in the BIOS, instead of just leaving it on "auto") can reduce micro-stuttering in games with the 7800X3D (and 9800X3D, according to comments).

I'm mostly curious about two things:

The "auto" (default) setting should equate to "enabled", according to AMD's own representatives. The guy in the video, conversely, claims that "auto" can, in fact, disable the setting in some mobos;
My understanding has always been that disabling C-states actually improves performance and latency in games, due to the cores not changing states (with the downside of added energy consumption and, consequentially, higher temps).

So, which one is it? And is it worth experimenting with the setting to improve performance and latency, while potentially alleviating stuttering?

1 of 17

Enable c states is the correct setting. My msfs did not have any shutters when I turn it on. But have shutters when I turn the c states off and I ran into a busy city low flying

2 of 17

do not disable C-states you are only going to cause more issues. the CPU will rarely ever switch C-states when in something like a game, there is virtually zero performance or latency benefit to disabling them.

r/pcmasterrace on Reddit: Best settings for 7800x3d

March 13, 2024 -

I just recently did an upgrade from Intel to AMD and this is my first time using an AMD CPU. I read a few reviews and articles on the Ryzen 7 7800x3d. I’m decently tech savvy however I stay away from OC and messing around in the BIOS. Now I guess I want to change that lol

I only game so I figured I might as well try to get some more performance out of my rig while not going too crazy and making it unstable but since I’m not familiar with this, I don’t want to make any changes without knowing what I’m doing and why.

What would be the best BIOS changes or any changes elsewhere ?

My pc build: (started with a prebuilt and swapped parts in/out so that’s why some cheap parts are still in it)

Heres what i did: Set PBO to "advanced" (auto or off by default) enable curve optimizer and set it to "all cores" start with -25 or -30mv and test if its stable. if not, try -20, if yes you could try and push to -35 or lower but you will probably lose performance. I got pretty bad silicon (stock: 16500 points cb23 at 4,75ghz) but i was still able to get it to 17100 and 4,9ghz while dropping temps and power consumption a bit (85°C -> 81°C and 89 -> 86w) Its pretty basic and you could probably get a bit more out of it but honestly thats way too much work for only little gain. Hope that helped!

The whale is one of the most idiotic spastics on the internet, he's a sperg, he doesn't know what he's talking about and half of the tweaks he lists in his video are placebo and he doesn't even know what they do. He blocks people on Twitter who don't agree /w him, for instance, I once called him out for buying the most expensive motherboard (or one of) for his friends 7800X3D build which was the X670E Taichi Carerra and his response was "it's the best of the best" when you do NOT need to go that deep (pockets wise) for AM5. Please ignore this video and do better research.

I found that if I set OC tweaker to anything other than auto, it does not respect the advanced settings and ppt goes to 95w+ independently of what I set it to. IMO, this seems great for cinebench scores but not everyday use.

r/AMDHelp on Reddit: can someone demystify some of the 'suggested' 7800X3D Bios settings for me please?

January 2, 2024 -

Hello,

I am using the holidays to spec and build a new system, yay! Coming from a 9700K I think I have understood the BIOS settings my old ASUS z390 board could offer. Now, that I have a 7800X3D in my new SFF build, I am benching and tuning it to my hearts content. I am a happy tinkerer :)

What I am less happy about is the level of documentation of BIOS settings, both within the BIOS and on paper. I own a ASUS B650E-I board now and found it working quite well for my needs (except for my desired LLC settings, but that is another topic...). Sadly, the Mainboard manual does not explain BIOS settings much so I am at a loss on what settings exactly do. If you have resources that listing and explaining them in more detail, please kindly send a link. (NOTE: I could find a few while researching, but happy to receive opinions on some settings as well)

I could find some 'suggested' values from a YT video (well, it is for B650E-F, but close enough), but it does not go into depth as to what these settings are actually doing, wanting to understand why I would change them.

CPU Configuration

~~PSS Support: Default:~~ Enabled / Suggested: Disabled - What is this setting doing?
~~NX Mode: Default:~~ Enabled / Suggested: Enabled - OK, don't know exactly what it is doing, but leaving it on.
~~SVM Mode: Default:~~ Enabled / Suggested: Disabled - OK, this is CPU virtualisation, not needed

AMD CBS

~~Global C-State Control:~~ Default: Enabled / Suggested: Disabled - Found video explaining this using suggested setting - Keeping enabled
~~IOMMU~~: Default: Enabled / Suggested: Disabled - Why would I disable this!? - keeping enabled

CPU Common Options

Power Supply Idle Control: Default: Auto / Suggested: Typical Current Idle - Found a post here, but why that value? PSU is a Cooler Master V850, does it matter?

SMU Common Options

~~CPPC Dynamic Preferred Cores:~~ Default: Auto / Suggested: Cache (7800X3D) - I get why the 7800x3d would be set to cache and 7950 to frequency (# of CCDs and task prioritisation), so just for verification, setting to cache good or not? - Leaving on Auto

AMD Overclocking

SoC/Uncore OC Mode: Default: Auto / Suggested: Enabled (sets Infinity fabric to run on max speed all the time) - why? performance VS idle-power? What are the draw-backs to this?

Thank you kindly for any response to the above!

EDIT: Ticking off answered points

You really should not be changing settings you have no idea about unless you're having a specific issue you're trying to resolve. It is best to leave them on default Enable/Auto values. PSS Support - Enable/disable the generation of ACPI _PPC, _PSS, and _PCT objects Processor performance control is implemented through three optional objects whose presence indicates to OSPM that the platform and CPU are capable of supporting multiple performance states. The platform must supply all three objects if processor performance control is implemented. The platform must expose processor performance control objects for either all or none of its processors. The processor performance control objects define the supported processor performance states, allow the processor to be placed in a specific performance state, and report the number of performance states currently available on the system. -- enable it NX Mode - Enable/disable No-execute page protection Function -- enable it Global C-State Control -- keep it enabled unless you're having issues with windows going to sleep/suspend and not resuming back to normal. IOMMU - leave it on Auto CPPC Dynamic Preferred Cores - for 7800x3d it does not matter as all cores have access to full cache, leave on Auto
