Thanks for that link.
I also used that method but found it strange that the author on the GitHub page didn’t change anything in the power settings.
Before entering the settings, and using OCCT (10 minutes), I had some cores reaching a maximum of 4440 MHz and and some 4540 MHz. However the average frequency was just between 3900 MHz and 4040 MHz depending on the core.
After applying the -30 settings to every core, all cores had both a maximum AND average frequency of 4441.99 MHz. With a maximum Boost frequency of 4500 MHz for the 3800X3D I guess that’s as close as I’m going to get.
However the temperature only dropped about 2-3° with -30 set to every core in PBO Tuner. When using -10 and -20 the temperature during the stress test was actually HIGHER than with default settings.
After some research throught the link provided by the author, I reduced the power settings:
PPT: 95W
TDC: 60A
EDC: 90A
With my aircooled system the temperature during the OCCT stress test now was almost 10°C lower than with the default settings. Still I had no problems that the processor became starved for power in any way. No instabilities at all so far. I ran the OCCT stress test for 60 minutes
