***The Official 5900X \5950X owners thread***

Yes I was surprised by those results as the Aida64 results had me thinking that Windows 10 was probably still a little faster overall.

However, I'd still like to see more results from a variety of games. I am dual booting at the moment, but can't say I've noticed any difference in the games I play.

Why is overclockers price for the 5900X over £100 more than some other retailers ? and do you think we will see a price cut from AMD shortly because of Alder Lake ?

I think it's pretty much a given if Alder lake cleans up in the reviews but the largest cuts will likely come to the 5600X and 5800X given that from the leaked benchmarks so far the 12600KF beats both in ST/MT and the MT difference vs the 5600X looks to be around +40% in favour of the 12600KF which is priced the same.

Steve at hardware unboxed in most recent video said the 5600x can be under $200usd within 1 or 2 weeks. And then he qualified this by saying "I'm not allowed to say anything about alder lake, but I'd wait if I was considering upgrading to a 5600x"

The battle between the 12600K and the 5600X will be interesting, from the Intel benchmarks and leaks we can comfortably say the 12600K will beat the 5600X in most scenarios including games. I do wonder what price AMD will settle the 5600X at given the 12600K beats it at £290 and comes with a GPU as well, personally I think it will have to be cut to around £230/£240 level which should make it competitive given the rest of the platform cost is a lot cheaper on the AMD side.
 
I've noticed that since I've upgraded to my 5900 the min CPU on the power plan is 0% and the max is 100%. Where as on my old 3900x with the AMD power plans it was min 99% and max 100%, is it best to leave min at 0 or set it to 99? Will performance be any different in gaming? Thanks!
 
I game a little bit every now and again but usually for encoding video. It's a beast of a CPU but I was curious to see if anyone manually OC'd it or just PBO. Might take a tinker at undervolting it if I have some spare time. I'm really happy with its performance, just looking to tinker on it :D

If you download and run Ryzen Master to get the Gold and Silver cores for each CCD. Once you have that info in hand you can when go ahead with curve optimizer. This is where the tweaking comes in and silicone lottery too. You need to set negative per core and the gold needs the most voltage (so least removed) silver and little more and the rest (remaining 8) will allow more to be removed. The scale is from 0 to -30.
If you run CB23 and get a number as you are now. And use it for testing too as if the undervolting using curve optimizer isn't happy you'll soon know using that!

I'd give Gold -10, Silver -12, and the rest -15, to start. That should be achievable. You can tweak from there if that's stable.
Bit of days work really but will give you a nice all core performance bump.
If you wanted to run the chip to stay cooler you can just type in 140 for PPT, TDC,EDC. That will cap the chip to 140w. Only the PPT will pull the 140W. Just makes it easy to do 140 on all.
