PC Processors

[Felenari]

Updated adrenalin and decided to try the auto oc feature. After restart my MSI mag B650 shows an orange (might be yellow) light and is now refusing to do anything else. First pc after years of laptop. Last pc I built was 700mhz single core.

Running 7950, xfx 7900xtx, 2x CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30 and a corsair hx1500i power supply. All stock settings before the restart and running fine for a year. Samsung g8 monitor sometimes has trouble waking up also with the xtx. 

Any help on this pretty please? This pc build was my 10 year anniversary present from my wife.

Is it MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI? Here's a screenshot from the manual:

It is. Tried to start it again this morning and now it's red (cpu) and yellow (ram). Still black screen. From a bit of reading ppl are reccomending a cmos reset?

Do that. Reset the cmos. 

[Felenari]

Resetting cmos worked. Tyty. Should I just leave the auto overclock alone? I'm trying to find the bottleneck in my system.

My honest opinion is that overclocking in this day and age is kind of pointless. You might see a 5% increase in performance. Is that really worth it to you? The possible instability turns me off of the idea. You might know more than I do. In that case go ahead and push your hardware, but it just doesn't make sense to me. The tradeoff isn't worth it to me.

About the only thing I do now is go into the BIOS to the curve optimizer and set a negative curve. I leave everything else on default.

Curve optimiser? Like fan curve? 

[mengelag]

The AMD Ryzen Curve Optimizer. This utility allows users to adjust the voltage-frequency curve of their processor, leading to improved performance and thermal efficiency. Integrated into the AMD Ryzen Master software, the Curve Optimizer lets users tweak settings for each CPU core individually or the entire CPU as a whole. It offers the ability to fine-tune the processor beyond standard settings, achieving a balance between power and performance that caters to specific needs and usage scenarios.

The Curve Optimizer is especially useful for those seeking to maximize performance while being mindful of their system’s thermal and power limits. You can do it manually in the BIOS or use the Ryzen Master program

Far from an expert. My last desktop was a 733mhz Pentium. Still remembered just enough (with youtube help) to put it together correctly and have it boot first time. (I did forget to turn on power supply when I hit the power button the first time but nobody needs to know that)

I was mostly curious to see if I'd even notice the performance difference in my games. I mostly use this thing for cad and other 3d related things. I'm leaving everything stock for now.
