upgraded from a ryzen 3600 to a 5800x3d on my msi b450 mortar max platform and the performance gains is a big boost in terms of gaming.
Is there any need to under-volt my cpu?
I found the links for the tools required to under volt this cpu from FR33THY YouTube video, the link is called Debug-cli.7zp then it takes me to overclock page and I see drive.google.com but I am. Having trouble actually downloading all this and tbh I am sick of trying and trying as all I see in my download is white paper icon
Maybe I need to zip file converter???
Will this cpu be ok at stock settings? All o do is game.
 
Most people use PBO tuner 2 to set a curve offset to allow the CPU to run cooler and boost a bit higher but its completely fine without it. I have mine running at an offset of -30 on all cores but I'd suggest a smaller offset first of about -10 and then decreasing in -5 increments if your system is stable.
If your going to use PBO tuner I'd recommend following the guide from the GitHub link to enable it (see step 6).
You'll need something to unpack the zip file like 7zip.

Umm, I have no idea who FR33THY is, but this sounds incredibly dodgy :D I think I'd rather leave my PC at stock thank you.

Some boards have it in the bios on MSI it's called kombo strike level 3 means -30 all core

Saves the faffing about in windows and installing extra stuff

When fully stressed it's made nice difference dropped temp by 6c power from around 133w to around 109w while increasing performance

Don't think it makes much difference in gaming as its not fully stressed
 
Thank you for the valuable info, I shall download 7zip as I believe this is stopping me from opening any of the tools needed for this under volt….
My motherboard is a msi, right or wrong I did go into bios and enabled Kombo strike level 3 and it successfully passed cinebench r23 for as many times i try… max temp was 80c and I believe I can run this test all day long with out any problems…
Once again thank you for all your valuable input.

You don't need to worry about doing anything in windows, you just did it in the bios :) kombo strike level 3 is pbo -30 all cores

Windows option is alternative if the motherboard doesn't have the option in the bios

if kombo strike level 3 is enabled you don't need to use PBO tuner to undervolt. It's already enabled for you in the BIOS, you don't need to do anything else.
 
Ok I leave it as it is as as Kombo strike a lot easier to set and it’s more than stable and cooler in heavy work loads…
I have gained at least 25/30 fps in call of duty and it plays that buttery smooth.
Maybe my msi 2070 armour gpu is a bottle neck and a new gpu upgrade is on the horizon…

what res do you game at?
 
1080p with a msi 2070, call of duty 125/145 fps, but I will upgrade my gpu but prices are extreme for new gpu at the moment. As I want to game at 1440p with higher graphic settings.

the 2070 can easy do 1440, i just sold a 2070s thats not much faster then the stock 2070 and it will a good 100FPS GPU.
if funds are tight or you just dont want to pay silly money, the 2080ti is the same speed as a 3070ti and that will max 1440p out all day long

Yes newer gen cards at the moment are well over inflated and I refuse to pay that kind of money..
Tbh I was looking at 3070ti but after reading your reply I shall look for a 2080ti. Good info thank you
 
i recently sold one(3070ti), there a good strong card the 2080ti as more ram but there plus and minus 3% of each other in most games.

3070ti can be had for 400/450
2080ti can be had for 320/380
 
3% for me is nothing to worry about.
Ok I am on the hunt now for a 2080ti. Valuable info. My monitor is only 144hz so if I can get that in frames I am
More than happy at 1440p and slightly up my settings. Thank you
