r/Amd on Reddit: 5800x PBO Undervolting - Curve Optimizer Magnitude
June 5, 2021 -

Hello guys, I want to start by saying that I'm Italian so sorry if my English is bad :D
Moving on, this is my configuration:
Mobo: X570 Aorus Elite
CPU: Ryzen 5800x
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Case: Cooler Master H500P Mesh (meh) with an additional Noctua 140mm fan on the top as Intake

I've looked into undervolting in order to get lower temps, I was going on 90C running a MC Cinebench R23, I know that 5800x is a hot boi but those temps were too high for me. (If you want to know the score, I don't have it, I've never ended a run due to reaching 90C)

So I've undervolted with PBO in the bios, setting all cores negative curve with a value of 25 in the Curve Optimizer Magnitude field;
Now I'm on 84C running a MC Cinebench R23, with a score of 15798 and clocks between 4849-4851 Mhz;
On a single-core run I've scored 1603 Pts at 49-51C;

Now I'm curious about 2 things:

  1. I've heard that in MSI Bios every unit in the Curve Optimizer Magnitude field equals to 3 to 5 Millivolts, is It the same in the Aorus Bios?

  2. Someone had the same issues/went through the same procedure? What values Have you put? Did you set the curve for all cores or have you set different values per core(s) ?

Thank you in advance guys <3

So, it's been a little bit more than a couple hours, but here we are.So, for a recap, we started with: pbo undervolt - all cores -25 CB R23 MC = 15798 at 84CCB R23 SC = 1603 at 49-51C First of all, like Ben4425 said, I've checked the cooler and re-applied the thermal paste, using the 5 point method, gaining ~ 2C CB R23 MC = 15889 at 82C CB R23 SC = 1612 at 47-49C -4849 Mhz I checked what cores were the best, so i've set -10 for them and -25 to all the others R23 MC = 15794 at 82C R23 SC = 1593 at 51-53C - 4849 Mhz And then i've tried to lower the PBO Limits, ive started with: PPT: 142 - EDC: 120 - TDC: 95 R23 MC = 15775 at 81C R23 SC = 1605 at 51-53C - 4849 Mhz Then PPT: 130 - EDC: 120 - TDC: 95 R23 MC = 15478 at 81C R23 SC = 1599 at 51-53C - 4849 Mhz With those PBO Limits, i've tried to set the Boost Override to +100mhz, it was useless cause it crashed during the multicore;I've set PPT back to 142, crashed again, set all the PBO Limits back to default, crashed again.I think it depends on the overvolt curve that i did, maybe -10 on the best 2 and -25 on the others it's too much for sustaining the +100mhz I've set the PBO Limits back to PPT: 142 - EDC: 120 - TDC: 95, and Boost Override to +50mhz R23 MC = 15480 at 81C R23 SC = 1610 at 4899Mhz and 55C, with a spike of 68C where the windows scheduler went crazy and started to use other 2/3 cores other then the best two. So, at the end of day, I've decided to stick with this configuration:Curve Optimizer: -10 to the 2 best cores, -25 to the othersPBO Limits: PPT: 142 - EDC: 120 - TDC: 95Boost Override 0 I feel like I'm not losing too much on the MC, I've got one of the best SC scores and the temps were low.The funny thing is that the best scores and temps were obtained with -25 to all cores and default PBO Limits lol. Thank to you all guys for the collaboration, cheers <3 EDIT: viewing the guide posted by Ben4425, and seeing other tutorials, I think we can assume that the value of units in the Curve Optimizer Magnitude field it's the same for every Bios (3 to 5 Millivolts)

i limited my PPT/TDC/EDC values in the bios, dropped from 95C to like 84C max, really effective

r/Amd on Reddit: Should I be able to hit -30 on per core Curve Optimizer ( 5800x )?
October 1, 2022 -

As the title states, should I be able to achieve -30 on every core on the per core setting? I noticed in my web research that many are not able to hit -30 on the per core setting like I have it set at. I am happy with my temps and my performance. Cinebench r23 hits 16200-16300 now on multi and my temps hit 77c under load (cinebench) and low 30's-50c normal workloads.

Note: about a month ago when I started adjusting the curve optimizer I could hit -30 all core but nowhere near on the per core method.

Arctic Liquid Freezer ii 420mm on the way, will start maybe pushing things some more once installed

Settings ( I think matter ):

pbo manual: 138 - 95 - 120

curve optimzer: per core, every core set at -30

pbo scalar on auto and no extra boost mhz

cpu voltage - manual: 1.35v soc voltage - manual: 1.25

cpu load line cal: 1 step above auto(medium I believe)

soc : 1 step above auto(regular I believe)

cpu: R7 5800x

mobo: asus x570-p

psu: evga p6 1000w

cooler: cheapy 240mm coolermaster aio

memory: g skill ddr4 ripjaws 3600mhz (timings slightly tighter than xmp)

Help with 5800x and precision boost 2 curve optimizer | guru3D Forums
December 11, 2020 - It's interesting though that even going via voltage offsets from the PBO optimizer and curve scaling that the 5000 series now has support for doesn't seem to be mitigating it much in this case. Guessing one CCX centers all the heat for the 8-core model but the 5900X with 2x 6-core or the 5950X with 2x 8 core CCX show better results with thermals so something with the 5800X is just off with how much more heat it can produce.

Curve optimiser per core - 5800X3D - Help required. | Overclockers UK Forums
April 12, 2025 - as a rule, the strongest cores (numbered in hwinfo64 for example) remain strongest after tuning AND have least headroom for curve optimiser. In my experience it is the weakest cores that can take highest negative curve values, but that only brings them just behind strongest ones. No experience with X3D, but from what Disco_P says, perhaps -30 all core is all you get. Click to expand... The best cores take the lowest offset as they are already good for boost/voltage. Every where CO magnitude is thought of as a voltage reduction, it is and isn't.

5800x high heat and curve optimizer | Overclock.net
@DiceAir Have been playing with CO for a couple of day, I would suggest leaving scalar at auto (or 1x), "Boost override" to whatever max value you want and configure "Curve" in such a way, that the best core/cores have lesser value. For example, I set 2 best cores to -10, next pair to -15 and the worst pair to -20. As soon as i modify scalar, say to 2x, core voltage increases drastically, so unless CPU is LC-ed, i'd stay away from it. 5800X high temps means it pushed closer to max thermal and power limits than other models.

r/Amd on Reddit: First time curve optimizer for gaming - 5800x
May 27, 2021 -

Hello fellow red teammates

First time i went to a full AMD build with 5800x and rx 6800XT, and with it i had a hard time learning all the different stuff amd has when it comes to CPU tweaking

I only use the PC for hardcore gaming, mostly warzone, and while performance wise im getting very good results.

My cpu sits arround 65C max temps and pushing clocks at 4.5-4.6 ghz.

After so much reading about curve optimizer and undervolting, from my understanding i might be able to get the same or even better performance setting PBO with a negative offset in curve optimizer, while using less voltage on the CPU, and so, lower temps, which might increase the CPU's lifespam.

Since it will be my first time messing arround with this kind of settings i was hopping you guys could give me some advices on the best settings for it and if this video is a good guide for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfkrp25dpQ0&t=168s

My full specs:

5800X

MSI Gaming Trio 6800XT

32gb Ram 3600 cl16

gigabyte aorus 800w gold +

Asus x570 Tuf Gaming

AIO MSI MAG 360

Thanks in advance

r/Amd on Reddit: 5800x - Undervolt AND Curve Optimizer?
February 3, 2023 -

So. im trying to tune my 5800x again...

Seems like i got a potato. Boosts to ~4.8Sc and ~4.6Ac...I can input up to 2ghz on the PBO2 Boost override but after 200mhz nothing changes. Global max is still 5050, some cores touch that but the effective clocks doesn't so i guess it's just streching.The Cpu gets hot (90c) unless i drop the Vcore to about -0.025v, i get higher/same R23 scores for every step down until then (~15000-15500). I know they are supposed to work at that temp, but that seems stupid if i get the same performance for way less wattage and temp. Electricity is expensive nowdays...

Cpu seems to handle ~-30 Co on all cores, maby -28-29 on the two best, but if i drop the Vcore they give me errors way before that.

PPT/TDC/EDC Doesn't seem to matter when i'm optimizing sc, currently running corecycler and try to find the max Co offset on my vcore, i suppose i shoudl lover Vcore until all of them are between -20 and -30, since they max out on stock, meaning they could go to -40-50 if that was an option.

Is this the right way to go? I'we read 10ths of guides but it doesnt click. And Sometimes my changes work and sometimes it just glitches out, having the same options on 2 places int eh UEFI doesn't help either, dunno if i should use the settings under AI Tweaker on Advanced/Amd, Thanks Asus.

Current values on PBO is 120/75/110, but that only comes in to play when i run all core or R23, i'd like to find the core maximums before i start tuning all core.

Also, if i use LLC on Lvl2 or more i just loose performance? Perhaps 100-150 Mhz All core clocks.I have it set to Auto, and CPU and SOC Current are on 110%, i don't think thats a problem when i have PBO limits way under stock.

Specs:

  • Amd 5800x

  • Asus Strix 550-F

  • 32gb Corsair LP 3200/Cl16

  • Gtx 1080

  • Corsair VS650 (Shit PSU, a bit low voltages)

r/overclocking on Reddit: Undervolting/Optimiseur de courbe pour Ryzen 5800X
October 25, 2025 -

Salut tout le monde ! C'est mon premier post, alors soyez sympas, hein.

Mon père a récemment amélioré son PC et m'a filé son ancien 5800X et deux barrettes de RAM, ce qui est un sacré coup de pouce par rapport à mon 3700X. J'adore bricoler et j'ai commencé à jouer avec l'optimiseur de courbe par cœur pour maximiser les performances tout en gardant les températures au minimum. Ce 5800X en particulier semble être un gagnant à la loterie du silicium et mon "réglage" actuel est le suivant :

  • C1 : -27, C2 : -27, C3 : -28, C4 : -18, C5 : -22, C6 : -27, C7 : -27, C8 : -17, comme recommandé par Ryzen Master, mais réglé manuellement dans le BIOS

  • Carte mère : MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI avec le dernier BIOS

  • Limite PPT : 150W, Limite TDC : 95 A, Limite EDC : Auto, Precision Boost Overdrive Scalar : 10X, CPU Boost Clock Override : Activé, Max CPU Boost Clock Override (+) : Auto

  • RAM : 2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz CL16 et 2x Crucial Ballistix 3600Mhz CL16, j'ai reçu les Crucials de mon père et les deux kits fonctionnent maintenant à 3200Mhz 16-18-18-36

  • Horloges des cœurs rapportées à 4,850Mhz dans HWiNFO, toutes les mentions ultérieures des horloges et des fréquences se réfèrent à l'horloge effective

Dans les charges de jeu plus légères comme Rocket League, les horloges atteignent un maximum entre 4,880-4,983Mhz, tandis que Cinebench R20 et R23 voient des horloges multicœurs autour de 4,675-4,750Mhz avec un seul cœur autour de 4,850Mhz. Dans CPU-Z, le multicœur est d'environ 4,825Mhz et le simple cœur de 4,850Mhz. Je me souviens aussi avoir vu des horloges dépasser les 5Ghz dans Minecraft.

Ce réglage est stable dans R20, R23, Prime95 et CPU-Z, mais provoque parfois des plantages pour des charges plus légères comme Rocket League (parfois juste le programme, d'autres fois tout le système). Ce problème a été résolu en augmentant la tension de "2" pour tous les cœurs dans le BIOS, ce qui maintient les fréquences aux mêmes valeurs pour les charges lourdes, mais les diminue légèrement pour les charges plus légères (max Mhz environ 100 de moins).

TL;DR/Question : Quelqu'un sait-il s'il est préférable d'augmenter les tensions ou de modifier le Max CPU Boost Clock Override ? Mes températures sont sous contrôle (même si j'utilise un H100i de 240 mm qui a presque 15 ans), mais j'aimerais beaucoup entendre une discussion et vos expériences !
