Given that not all processors and devices withstand high loads, it is strongly recommended to gradually increase indicator values. I've seen too many posts where people have unstable overclocks due to insufficient testing and then complain when the overclock fails.Power -5 +5 Start CPU Stress Test What do the indicators mean?īefore starting the CPU stress test, review the indicators below to understand what they are for. Others will advise you skip most stability tests, which to me is absurd. This takes time, but it's the best way to verify stability. The Auto OC option is mostly useless, so ignore that. If you want to use higher power limits, set those to start with before you touch the Curve Optimiser. (edit) I wrote a much more detailed guide in the official 5900X/5950X thread, but am typing all this on mobile and trying to find that post as well is not practical If both pass, you can start to reduce the Curve values by 2 or 4 and test again (e.g.If CoreCycler passes, do another 4-6 hours with y-cruncher.If stable, download CoreCycler and leave it running for 8-12 hours.Load back in to Windows and run Cinebench R20 or 23.Now enter -6 for your 2 best cores, and -12 for the rest.



Note down best cores as reported by either HWiNFO or Ryzen Master.Confirm system is stable with stock power limits and only XMP enabled.That being said, I'd do the following to keep a good efficiency to performance ratio: I can tell how to make sure an overclock is stable, but I'm probably not the best person to offer advice on settings.
