Hi everyone, looking to do a bit of fine tuning on my guest PC to up the warzone frames and make it a bit more snappy and responsive and wanted some tips and suggestions
MB:
Gigabyte Z390M Gaming - Current Bios F6 (This is before several revisions, I am using a 8700k chip not 9th gen on this board as it was gifted to me, and noticed worse cinebench scores and a higher vcore needed when I fiddled with it in the past)
Currently at 5ghz 47 uncore 0avx HT on, LLC Turbo (aiming for 5.1now at around 1.37v or so when I delid this chip as its getting warm out)
H80i v2 push pull
Corsair 2x16gb C16 Hynix CJR kit that I hope to push to 3800+ with similar timings
VCCIO/ VCCSA - I just lowered to 1.2/1.2 each to play around with - is that okay for this mem speed or should I aim for lower?
I can't find the PWM/VAXG Switching rate in this bios for some reason, is that because its not fully updated or because this board doesn't support it? ( I heard 300hz is a good setting to use)
Should I try one of these custom modified bios's or update to the new format and try again with these new micro codes etc? Will I see any benefits even though I'm using an 8th gen cpu? I see that if you apply the latest bios you may not be able to revert is this true? Any other settings I should check, when attempting 5.1-5.2? I don't have any other settings modified or C states disabled etc
If anyone has some suggestions to tweak memory there is more info in this post

ALSO: I only have kryonaut, should I order conductonaut for the delid specifically? Thanks all!
