Ryzen 5700x Bios settings for lower temps??

Well as it's a SFF steam machine like build using a Silverstone SUGO 16 case and in the TV entertainment centre heat and noise are an issue. The cooler I can get both the GPU and CPU running the better as they both have a knock on effect on each in regards to temps. So it wasn't really a case of them running unusually hot just I need to get them running as cool as they can be, to help with fan noise.

Is the system running yet is more what I was getting at.
When I used CO on my 5700x it only dropped about 5c in games and it as no real affect on idle temps.

Unless you have a big problem you’re not going to get big results. You really need the system up and running to see how it’s going to perform under normal conditions

However a small system will always run warm you just have to find a comfortable noise to heat ratio.

Looking at the case if you go sfx on psu you can fit a 120mm single tower cooler in there so I really don’t see any problem.
If you want an atx psu you can fit a 120mm aio so again no cooling problems

I just dropped a 5700x into my mini-ITX system as a replacement for a 5800x that I decided was probably faulty.

Out of the box it ran surprisingly hot and loud (~85c under load with the AIO fans at 80-100%). I ran curve optimizer per core, which ended up being overly aggressive (dropped most cores to -30 which crashed within 5 mins of stability testing). Tried adding a +5 offset which passed an hour long stability test but crashed at some point during a long x265 encode. Bumped the offset again to +7 and it seems perfectly stable. More importantly, temps dropped to ~60 under load with the fan barely going above 50% so much cooler and quieter.
So you can definitely see some very noticeable improvements in temps and noise with the right settings.

The issue I have is my a520 mobo doesn't have curved optimiser

Yeah I had the system up and running, to be honest the cpu temps weren't too bad. The issue I notice is soon as I select the unlock frame rate option within Bazzite quick settings the temp and fan ramps up on the GPU. So as I said trying to lower temps on the CPU as much as possible without effecting performance too much and keeping the gpu temps and fan noise down. Dunno maybe the PowerColor RX 9060 XT fan profile is excessively aggressive, Im guessing I want to keep the temps below 75c on the GPU when stressing it
 
The gpu is simply just follow an undercoating guide.

Use the amd driver to limit the frame rate to the max rate of your tv/monitor
No point making 200fps if your screen is 120hz

This will get you the best performance without generating heat just for the fun of it.
And will also unload the cpu a little

What cpu cooler are you running?

This will be a problem because setting power limits and or under volting the cpu is not the same as using CO and doesn’t drop temps in the same way

I would just set the power limit to 45w this is what eco mode would be

Leave pbo turned off if it's on as default.
Lowering power limit to 45w will affect all core performance the most and in 2 or 3 core high loads will still see temps go high.
 
I'm using a Thermalright Aqua Elite 120 AIO CPU cooler.

Regards running a game higher than the refresh rate of the display, I understand that but running a game at high refresh rates reduced latency so that the main reason I run at a higher frame rate, not just for the increase frame rate but to reduce latency....but maybe this will produce to much noise and heat that it's not worth it

So the tdp of the 5700x is 65w I believe, lowering the tdp on the mobo to just 45w is quite a lot lower, I'm guessing that would effect performance a fair amount?. Also in reducing the tdp of the CPU does this mean I would be able to undervolt the CPU further, than if I left the tdp at stock or auto??

It would reduce latency with higher fps but anything passed the refresh rate of the screen wouldn’t be passed onto you.

I have a 240hz screen on my laptop and I genuinely can’t see or feel any difference with it capped at 120hz, but I am getting old now lol

I would think an air cooler would probably run quieter a 16 thread cpu will be pushing the limits of a 120mm aio especially a budget one

Not true. I use the exact same cooler and it's a pretty good cooler, it's better than many mid range coolers like the 5 heatpipe assassin king (I've used both the aqua elite 120 and the assassin king 120 head to head to cool a 5800x3d so I've had direct experience with both)

Both will cool about the same but an air cooler will generally do it quieter than a 120mm aio.

With you comparison what case? And what case fan set up.

With my experience of owning 5 aqua elite‘s the fans make one hell of a noise when they ramp up.
He may do ok with a fan upgrade to something that’s moves more air at lower rpm
On a budget the p12/max are hard to beat, pushing the boat out a noctua.

Or even just setting a custom fan profile.

Surely the AIO would be more efficient at cooling than an air cooler?. I also went with an AIO as in my head would take up less room in the case rather that a large heatsink needed for an air cooler, also considering you'd have a fan in the front of the case anyways and thats where I have the rad and fan for the AIO.

I have just 2 fans in the case, the thermalright fan on the rad (not sure what type of fan it is) and also a 120mm Arctic P12 on the rear of the case. The Arctic blowing into the case and the thermalright blowing out the case. The P12 is considerably louder than the thermalright fan which I thought was fairly quiet.

I guess what isn't helping matters is I have a small case inside a cupboard in the entertainment centre. It does have approx 13cm clearance on the top and 10cm on one side and at the rear (the other side is up against the side of the cupboard but is no air vents on that side of the case) and always have the door open on the cupboard

You have your case inside a cupboard… well thats definitely part of your problem. Have your removed the back panel? If not your recirculating the hot air.

The p12 fan will make some noise at full speed but will also more a hell of a lot more air meaning you can run it slower to more the same amount of air
If you have a p12 I would 100% be putting that on the rad as there high static pressure fan.
 
These chips run so much better with a locked voltage overclock/undervolt.

Run it through clock tuner for ryzen. It gives you two profiles, one being max overclock with lowest voltage and one being lowest clock with lowest voltage. Used to run my 5800x at 4.65ghz at 1.3v and it was cooler than anything pbo could manage. Run it in the low clock setting and it was practically cold.

You'll get a nice bump to 1% lows as well

I'm running Bazzite so doubt clock tuner will be available on Linux?

I have no idea but I doubt it tbh.
Could you dual boot windows and run it to get the values? Failing that you'll just have to do the manual way and set the voltage and then test it until it becomes unstable
