So i upgraded from a 5600 non x, installed the 5800x3d with a new Liquid Freezer ii, at first my temps were maxed 90c with 0% load, then I figured out i accidentally got the AIO pump cable under the cooler somehow... but with that resolved and it mounted with the offset bracket, i went to do some tuning because i had read the temps can be crazy on the 5800x3d, on OCCT torture testing i was seeing 100% usage, completely locked at stable at max boost clock, 4.5ghz and my temps were right around 58C completely stock. I did a -20 under volt on all cores, and my temps dropped to 48C-53C, still max boost clock and usage. Is there any other way for me to boost performance on this chip? Already tuned it with the PBO2 tuner, but it seems like I might have a lot of headroom if this was a normal OCable CPU.
That being said my performance is nuts now. Did a couple of benchmarks. I've got a 3070 FE as well.
All @ 1440p, DLSS Quality
Red Dead - Ultra settings, Before - 65fps, After - 101fps
Cyberpunk - High/med/ultra mix, Before - 45ish, After - 74fps
Starfield - Before 58-70fps, After - 58-70fps.... lol
It just feels so good. But i'd always like a little extra performance..
