CPUDoc now features a custom dynamic power plan with ultra low power in standby:
github.com
These are the custom power plans I've made for my 5950x.
I have tested them as well on a 3800X and 5600G (not very thoroughly).
They should not interfere with PBO boost and provide same or very slightly lower performances but better thermals.
Please check before and after with AIDA64 memory benchmark; if there's something wrong the latency could increase by 1 nanosecond.

Updated 2nd of December for Windows 11.
CRITICAL FIX FOR Windows 10 & 11: no more USB voltage drop-outs
You need to have already the correct SOC and VDDG voltages to fix the USB drop-outs.
Also, if present (but I have never seen it as an option), you have to enable USB Selective Suspend in BIOS.
Renamed the custom "Ultimate Performance" to "Ultimate HighPower".
New naming scheme and introduction of Ultimate LowPower for Win10.

Window 10:
The recommended for Performances is the Ultimate HighPower, followed by the Ultimate LowPower and Balanced Snappy (which is an in-between the Balanced and Ultimate).
The Balanced Snappy can be very satisfying for benchmarks, especially in ST performances.
All the profiles are maintaining the peak performances in GeekBench 5 for my 5950X.
The Balanced LowPower can reduce the idle power usage by 5-10W and the temperatures by 4-5° C.
Plus overall reduced temperatures and much lower spikes.
Real world usage is something different and of course Snappy and Ultimate will deliver better responsiveness and performances.
But Balanced LowPower is just a notch behind.
Too much effort to maintain the PP versions; use QuickCPU to change the setting by yourself if you need it
Tip: best would be to use Process Lasso to switch specific applications to use the Ultimate HighPower or Snappy profile only when needed. Or just use CPUDoc.
Windows 11:
If you are using Windows 11 and care about performance and latency use the Ultimate HighPower or Ultimate LowPower plans.
There's a bug in W11 power management which is causing all plans except Ultimate to have increased and spotty latency and low boost peak clocks.
I have received some reports about W11 plans being not much responsive also on Intel, therefore I guess it's not only related to AMD.
You can verify testing with AIDA64 memory latency test.
AIDA does not work really well with W11, it will give you very often spotty and inconsistent results.
Test only at fresh boot, close all the open tabs in Edge before rebooting or else they'll be loaded in background.
Don't run the whole benchmark with Cache & Memory, double click only on the Latency box in Memory row.
The first run should give you the peak boost clock, not always though. Mine went to up to 5125 MHz for the first time while it was stuck to 5075 MHz before.
The latency on the first run is usually bogus; wait 10 seconds, repeat, wait, repeat, etc.
You should get a much better latency on average, more consistent between runs, and some much lower scores than with any other plan.
I managed to get a 54.7ns, which is only slightly above the 54.4ns result from Win10, while with any other plan I couldn't go below 55.2ns (with very often 57-58-61-66ns).
Performance delta between Ultimate and High Performance plan can be seen also in Sandra Inter-Thread Efficiency test.
It's quite hard to compare as the results are very very inconsistent over runs thanks to Windows 11.
Anyway you should see an average improvement of 0.5-1.0ns on Inter-Thread latency and quite some substantial bandwidth improvements with specific data set sizes.
The most relevant metric seems to be the "Aggregate Inter-Thread Bandwidth" under "Performance vs. Speed" which improved for me from around 35 to 45 MB/s/MHz
![Colorfulness Product Rectangle Slope Font]()
The Ultimate LowPower is excellent; better average power consumption with a small edge in idle but still same great latency and boost and same benchmark scores as the full Ultimate.
The Ultimate HighPower is as expected with minimal power savings, very consistent results.
The Balanced LowPower is really only recommended if you want maximum power savings and lower temperatures.
The latency and boost clock drop is quite substantial and the performances lower.
It does have the power slider but I couldn't see a very big difference in power consumption between the settings.
The difference with Ultimate LowPower seems so small that I would recommend to use it instead of the Balanced LowPower.
Here's a performance comparison between the standard Windows High Performance & Ultimate Performance plans vs my custom Ultimate Performance V2 and Ultimate LowPower V2:
![Rectangle Azure Font Screenshot Parallel]()
As you can see the Ultimate Performance plan is trashing High Performance and all the other standard plans by a big margin.
Ultimate Performance V2 has a small edge vs the standard Ultimate plan and LowPower is just below it.

Which are the specific conditions or use cases when it could be better to use the PP versions?
![Colorfulness Font Circle Parallel Magenta]()
While with the non PP version:
![Colorfulness Font Rectangle Circle Parallel]()
In practice nothing will scheduled on the 2nd CCD unless needed.
With 1 CCD processors everything will be scheduled on the best processors and nothing on the lower CPPC Perf cores.
This is because Windows Scheduler is considering a Ryzen Processor as an heterogenous architecture, despite not being one.
All the lower perf cores will be considered as Efficient and all higher perf as Performant.
The previous custom power plans where fixing the Scheduler issues forcing the policy for heterogeneous to prefer Performant Processors and prefer Efficient Processors for background threads.
With the latest Scheduler this is not needed anymore; now it's finally doing it with the Automatic settings.
This means not anymore hacksaw temperature graphs and spikes.
There are some cases as mentioned above where it could be more convenient to force the background task policy to PP.
In general it's not recommended; for a very small single thread performance increase in normal usage the temperature goes up a lot and the spikes are huge.
With some workloads, mainly benchmarks, could be useful because often the Scheduler is just mistaken an spawns an heavy thread on an Efficient Processor.
The EP is not only slower but once the Scheduler realizes the mistake it has to move it to a PP causing delay and additional loss of performances.
- Terrible binning of the non best cores
- Terrible binning of the 2nd CCD
- Static OC with 2nd CCD at a much lower frequency than the 1st
- Very specific competitive benchmarking

Here's a performance comparison between the standard Windows High Performance & Ultimate Performance plans vs my custom Ultimate Performance V2 and Ultimate LowPower V2:
As you can see the Ultimate Performance plan is trashing High Performance and all the other standard plans by a big margin.
Ultimate Performance V2 has a small edge vs the standard Ultimate plan and LowPower is just below it.
The standard Power Plans in Windows 11 are pretty good. With some exceptions of course.
Microsoft as usual made one step forward and two backwards.
The Scheduler now works pretty well in terms of performances and core idling, impressive improvements versus the previous releases and Win10.
This is mainly because all the profiles are using Autonomous mode and it can finally properly drive a Ryzen CPU.
For instance the vCore is finally going up only when needed and the performances really great.
What is very disappointing is that basically many of the plan settings are completely disregarded.
Plus while running in Autonomous mode is worse, the Scheduler is disregarding even more.
The Autonomous mode in Windows 11 is a big improvement but it's not perfect.
Temperatures and spikes are quite horrible.
That's why I've created only one LowPower custom plan.
Unless you have a problem with the temperatures, just use the Balanced with slider in the middle or max.
Or the High Performance or the Ultimate.
They all are configured mostly the same and deliver mostly the same experience...
Maybe the High Performance has a drop of performances more but it's really one drop in the ocean.
The LowPower will deliver 2-3° C less on idle, same power consumption as Balanced (Why? How? What...) and at least 4-6 °C less during load.
Temperatures spikes are quite decent with LowPower, absolutely awful for all the standard plans.
Microsoft has definitely something to fix there...
Just moving the mouse from one screen to another causes the CPU temperature to jump to 45-48 °C with the Balanced plan.
With the LowPower it's slowly going up to 40-41 °C.
This is achieved mainly disabling the Autonomous mode, plus scheduling tweaking that actually works once not in Autonomous.
Of course the price to pay it's measurable lower performances, about 10-20p ST and 50-60p MT in GeekBench 5.
All Windows 11 Power Plans have prefer PP for background threads.
Forcing otherwise is hardly taken into consideration by the Scheduler.
