3900x Clocks

Tried option 3 in performance enhancer - did not do anything to the base speed.So have turned it off

As mentioned took of DOCP+3600+turned on spread spectrum.

Installed new BIOS - ran again and the re-engaged DOCP etc.

No real change except it does now run 37.75 most of the time when ticking over and having turned off Spread again I now appear to be running at 99.96 (BCLK ?) SO very nearly running as it should :D

Will give 1usmus a go in the near future to try to get that last little bit BUT everything seems smooth and it performs well (I did hear in the Hardware cannucks article mentioned that the performance loss when running as mine does was minimal anyway:) ) so have no wish to upset the apple cart at the moment.

Am currently running 1 x 280 + 1x 120 rad's cooling but have bought a new 240 rad as an additional rad (or maybe as a replacement for the 120) so will defer any further possible performance enhancement moves until I have updated the system.

(BTW the Fractal design R6 manual says that it will fit 280's at both top and front - the front is good but not so easy at the top; infact I was not happy trying to fit the 280 with the X570-E (very little if any clearence etc) and sold the second one I had bought. (LOVELY case otherwise!))

My thanks to all who provided advise/instruction. :)
 
Performance enhancer boost my clock speeds significantly and has down on ever Asus board I’ve owned. I’m surprised you turned it back off if you are looking to improve click speeds. Shrug. :eek:

I did/do appreciate the advice but I decided after some thought that it would be best if I left any , serious, overclocking etc until after I had sorted the cooling.

I was looking in the first instance to simply try to get it to run at 3.8 when idling (rather than 3.725 )and was not looking at the best boost - I tried Performance enhancer simply therefore to see if it changed the multiplier from 37.25 to 38.00 and is it did not decided that for now I would disable it.

I do now , thanks to you and other posters, have a much better understanding that playing with clock speeds etc is a much more complicated and time consuming process than it was with my , old, 5820K system. I also realise that to do it justice I need to read up a LOT more, which I intend to do . (overall I decided that it would be best to upgrade my cooling , read up and THEN venture into adjusting , manually, settings/overclocking)

Please accept my apologies if I came over as not being appreciative of your and others input - I am very appreciative!!
