No one told me that, I'll post it tomorrowI am curious on where to get that PBO2 Tuner app, I know its from someone here over on OCN, but I also think its not publicly available.

it does have an external generator it can do what I'm doing, it is missing voltage suspension but voltage suspension is the least important of all the technologies to help overclocking using the Crosshair and x3d CPU. I'm using a Crosshair 6 extreme at the moment which is a 5-year-old Zen One release and that's what all the scores posted above were obtained with. I chose this over my Crosshair 7 Hero because, frankly, the C6E is a better board in almost every regard (boot times being the main exception).Awesome initial write up. I’ll be jumping on the bandwagon as soon as it is released.
Quick question and hoping somebody can assist -
Does anybody know if the crosshair viii dark hero has an external clock generator and also supports the voltage suspension feature available in the crosshair viii extreme?
thank you kindly.
Curve Optimizer can be used using the pbo2 tuner but it doesn't need to be. That's why I mentioned it behaves differently than other Zen 3 CPUs, simply dropping the Curve for each core does not necessarily produce a better results like it does on all the other Zen 3s.Nice info and testing! I wish they had allowed for negative CO, would have gotten a nice multicore boost (up to 6% if -30 CO is possible), also would liwered temps in SC scenarios.
I was shocked they shipped mine early, had no idea it was going to happen (might have been a mistake tbh), so I was unprepared and still waiting on the Crosshair 8 and second memory waterblock to arrive to do the 5950x comparison data hah.Some good info for sure. I may grab one of these if I can manage to get it. Anyone know what time of day they will go up Wednesday?
Thanks for the tip. I suspect if I don't have windows open to BH/Newegg/Amazon/AMD/etc... when they drop though, I won't have a chance of getting one. Looks like previous releases have all been the standard 6:00 AM PT, so I'll have to tell my boss I have an "appointment" that morning (thanks to them blocking everything on the internet at work).

I would see if you can find a place like B&H that has them on "Waiting list only" so you get a notification the instant they drop if you want one. Despite a lot of nay-sayers, I have feeling it's going to sell like Zen 3 originally did at launch...quickly.
Good to know for those who use RM. I refuse to ever touch it again, but at least the option is out there.Hmm also on a side note it seems Ryzen master now also has access to Curve Optimizer

Not 5800X3D user here (just a 5800X), but testing this and it has been pretty good, finally an "official" AMD Auto curve optimizer.Hmm also on a side note it seems Ryzen master now also has access to Curve Optimizer

The curve optimizer is interesting. I didn't even know that was a thing with Ryzen Master.Not 5800X3D user here (just a 5800X), but testing this and it has been pretty good, finally an "official" AMD Auto curve optimizer.

Read the corecycler thread.The curve optimizer is interesting. I didn't even know that was a thing with Ryzen Master.
Started this morning to see what all CO value would be stable for my 5900x.
-27 worked for all cores. Now I'm doing 1h OCCT cycler for each core to see which one can handle -30.
I'll confirm with Prime95, OCCT 8h overnight once I have all my values.
Corecycler is better unattended testing imo because OCCT doesn't always let you know which core trigger a restart when CO is too aggressive, cycler does via the log. It's also slightly better at triggering faults than OCCT. OCCT is great for roughing it in, as you have done.The curve optimizer is interesting. I didn't even know that was a thing with Ryzen Master.
