Hello,

I am French and happy owner of a 3900x and a CROSSHAIR HERO VIII.

I want to overclock my processor for H24 using only the Bios settings.

Here is my configuration:


Ryzen 3900x
Asus Crosshair Hero VIII
2 x 16Go Trident Z Neo 16 19 19 19 39 @ 1.35
Corsair RM850X
Noctua NH-U12A
DarkBase 700 + 3 Silent Wings 3 on Front 1 SW140 Top and 1 SW 140 Behind
RTX MSI 2080 Super Gaming X Trio


Bios 1201 and last AMD Drivers


I ask your help because I am starting in overclocking and you seem to master the subject.


To date, by modifying some standard settings, I manage to reach 4.3 all Cores with 1.28125 Vcore



I don't think I want OC la Ram because it's quite complicated. By cons I would like to know if you could give me the most important settings to make in the Bios for a stable and efficient OC.


Would it be possible for you to make screens of the Bios Settings or Video Guide Step by step ?
Hello gui llaume and welcome.:) To whom were you addressing in your post?
 
is there a way to let the CPU downclock to lower speed if I overclock manually? I just changed the core ratio value and the CPU will just stay running at full speed.
 
Anyone else having issues with 1201 ? My system was completely fine with 1001, but now it won't boot unless I hit the reset key. It just hangs after power is turned on. Hit reset and it boots fine.

There's no sound card - just the GPU.

(3800x, Bios 1201, 16gb Ram @3200)

Yeah something happened starting with 1105. The auto voltages for the IO die are getting set too high and causing stability issues. I don't have the three voltage names offhand but I set them manually to 0.95v. They're near the bottom of the extreme tweaker page. I'll try to find it for you in the morning.

That would be great Thanks. I;ve rolled back to 1105 same issue....
 
Four days ago, sent ASUS Tech Support question on my K70 being non-responsive during POST delay. They finally responded...

I understand that you're having issues with your wired keyboards booting into the BIOS. I will recommend updating the necessary drivers for the keyboards being used. I will also suggest updating the motherboard chipset driver using the steps below.

AMD Chipset driver Version 1.7.29.0115
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...onVGA_1.7.29.0115.zip?_ga=2.24294399.417744411.1579196827-1705260420.1545145869

Once downloaded, right click on the folder and choose ''Extract All'' and then choose ''Extract'' again. Open the folder to view its contents then double click on any
of the following to run the installer.

*setup.exe
*setup application
*Asussetup
*pnpinstal64
*igxpin

You would be required to restart the product for the update to take effect.

If the issue remains the same, please consider using a keyboard that is listed on the motherboard keyboard QVL.

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...X570_QVL_20191122.pdf?_ga=2.97811546.417744411.1579196827-1705260420.1545145869

EDIT: After the update, still having issues accessing BIOS during POST delay. Either I borrow my HTPC keyboard whenever I need access BIOS on my Gaming Rig or time to buy a new keyboard.
 
FYI

Just tried to install the new chipset drivers but get a script error that prevents installation. Yes, I did download the driver from the English AMD site. Says nothing about needing a bios update.


Edit: I did some googling concerning the error I was getting and found possible answers, one being a corrupted down load. 1)Deleted the original download file and re-downloaded the file. 2) Uninstalled the the existing chipset drivers. 3) Installed new chipset drivers, this time successfully, and rebooted. So far no issues.
 
Has anyone tried these settings? :D

I have only changed cpu current capability to 130%, not 140!

in gaming at default, my cpu boost up to 4325 all core, with this setting my cpu boost up to 4400 all core

do you think they are safe for 3900x?


SETTINGS:
The EDC limit set to 1 really works for boosting all cores and single core to their MAX! Thanks to the guy that figured this out.

Here is what I did to get it to work
Set your ram timmings to whatever you prefer.
And the fclk to half that of your ram speed.

In extreme Tweaker/core performance boost

set it to – Auto

In extreme Tweaker/precision boost overdrive

precision boost overdrive = auto
max cpu boost clock override = auto
platform throttle limit = auto
Set all 3 options to AUTO

In extreme Tweaker/digi+ power control
cpu load-line calibration set to = LEVEL 3
cpu current capability to 140%

In advanced/amd cbs/nbio common options/xfr enhancement/accepted
precision boost overdrive = auto
and precision boost overdrive = auto


now in
advanced/amd overclocking/amd overclocking/precision boost override
precision boost override set this to -advanced
PBO limits to manual
PPT limit =0
TDC limit =0
EDC limit =1
precision boost overdrive scalar - manual =10x
max cpu boost clock override =200mhz
and the thermal throttle to =200
save and restart.
Just jumping in to say if you havent tried this, this fixed my boost issues for me.
I've never gone above 4525 on best core, now i am seeing 4.7 on 6 cores with one hitting 4.75, and the bad ccd all doing 4.5.
Thanks a lot.
 
That would be great Thanks. I;ve rolled back to 1105 same issue....


It's VDDG IOD, VDDG CCD, VDDP all in the same area at the bottom of that page. I set them to .95, .95, and 950.

Upgraded to custom loop, and bought external water temperature sensor. The problem is that I can read the water temperature in UEFI BIOS, but not in windows. HWINFO / HWmonitor doesnt show the T-sensor temp. Does anyone know how to check that sensor temperature in windows?
 
If anyone is interested in: Crosshair VIII Mod Series Bios 1201

Added Monitoring Values in Bios (Monitor)
- PCH Temperature
- PCH Core Voltage
- DRAM Voltage
- Core PLL Voltage

Added PCH Fan Control (Monitor)
- Changing settings can overheat your Chipset!

Added ASPM Support (Advanced - PCI Subsystem Settings)
- PCIe power saving. Reduces power cosumption at idle and load.
Some PCIe devies might fail

HWINFO should, perhaps reset user settings and restore order of sensors. I had hidden T-Sensor on differing ASUS board in HWINFO and when started using T_Sensor it did not show in HWINFO until I did that, it had disappeared from hidden list to just restore it.

Ok - Thanks. I found those but there doesn't seem to be an option to change them ? Is there another variable I have to enable first ?
