-
Lian Li O11 Air Mini
-
9 x Thermalright TL-C12PRO 120mm
-
Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
-
Corsair RM1000e PSU
BIOS Settings under Advanced:
-
SOC Voltage - 1.2V
-
PPT - 85000 mW or 85 W
-
TDC - 75000 mW or 75 W
-
EDC - 150000 mW or 150 W
-
PBO - Each core set to -25
-
Thermal Llimit - 85
-

I just want max performance, I have really good cooling. I saw skatterbencher settings for running 5.5GHz or something he claims, I figure those numbers are too high and his mobo is much better, so before I fry my chip I thought I should ask for your expertise. What do I put for those PBO limits? Thanks in advance
TL;DR: Lower PPT to reduce temperatures! For my ASRock B650E the settings are: Advanced > AMD CBS > SMU > PPT in mW set to 75000.
For those of you who do not like their x3d processors to run at 85+ degree temperatures, I've got a little trick for you to get peace of mind when running 100% loads on these chips.
My 7800x3d would run at 82-84 degrees and the fans on my AK620 would ramp up to 100%. I my quest to silence my build (in a North Mesh) I decided to run the fans at 40% until 90 degrees. That worked! However, CPU would run 88-90 degrees. Since I don't really like those temperatures, I went further and tried to reduce the power draw. I had already set -30 as negative offset for the curve optimizer, but this did nothing to power draw or temperatures (my previous Ryzen 5 7600 dropped from 90 watts to 78 watts and dropped 10 degrees).
I have an ASRock B650E Steel Legend, and with ECO mode set to enabled, nothing changed again. So I got tired of it and ran Ryzen Master to see where my limit was. PPT was at 100% limit and 90W, so I went through all pages of my motherboard to try and limit that.
I found the correct setting! I could limit PPT to 35W, 45W, whatever I wanted. I finally set on 75W, still using the -30 negative curve optimizer and +150 MHz positive PBO clock. Reaching 68-69 degrees and 4.7 GHz in Cinebench R23 I'm very happy! This means a drop in almost 20 degrees with fans set to 40%! Cinebench scores still get me over 18000 in R23, other benchmarks at stock show around 18100 to 18200 scores
Here's a Ryzen Master screenshot when running Cinebench R23:

Not sure where to find this for other brands, but for my ASRock B650E the settings are: Advanced > AMD CBS > SMU > PPT in mW set to 75000.
Hello guys, I undervolted my CPU and here’s what I did:
curve optimizer set to -30 all core.
platform thermal throttle limit : 85
My setup:
-
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
-
Gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax
-
2x16GB DDR5-6000 @ DDR5-6000
-
Corsair h150i elite capellix xt

First, are those good numbers? Second, is there anything I can do to lower the CPU temps, like enabling PBO limits? I dont know what to type in PPT,TDC and EDC.
Thank you very much.
If I want to set my new 7800x3D in eco-mode (65 Watt) with Ryzen Master software, how do I do that? I have already set it to Eco-mode.
But have it "permanently" changed it to Eco-mode? or do I need to run Ryzen master at windows startup in order for it to work?
And is there a place I can see that it now operates at 65watt instead of 120watt? Hwmonitor?
As the title says, i have set PBO to -30, wondering if there's any PPT, TDC, EDC suggested values or i should just keep it to auto
EDIT: For anyone wondering, this is what i ended up with
-
PBO -30 on all cores apart from -25 on the two best ones
-
122 82 124 ( best for gaming)

AMD CBS > NBIO > SMU > CPPC Enabled
