Hello dear members of the chronic tenosynovitis group and those whose membership is still pending!

I've been hanging around PC Games Hardware Extreme, but due to recent events, I want to offer you a little treat just before the end of 2024.

Over the past 21 days, on more than 20 pages, I've put together a guide to give everyone the opportunity to perform a procedure that makes the CPU run cooler, consume less power, yet generate more performance and maintain higher clock speeds.

_________
Which AMD CPUs does this guide apply to, you ask?
_________

Well, this procedure applies to every processor in the AM5 platform. It doesn't matter which chipset you are using.

How does it go again? ^^ "If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is a lie!"


Well, in this case, and one reason why I put so much work into the guide, I've included cross-references. These lead to a small database containing screenshots from which all the guide's data can be derived. I've created bar charts that visually reflect the performance advantage directly, along with sources to explain terms and provide hyperlinks to all the programs used.

This way, anyone interested in the guide can verify the information if they wish. I did this in the interest of transparency.

Well ... I'm still undecided whether it was due to Office bugs or if I've just gotten out of practice over the years; anyway, I encountered some unpleasant complications during the creation process, and then there were test results with my OC profile that forced me into error analysis because the results simply "didn't make any damn sense!"

For this reason, at a certain point, the data resulting from the BIOS profile "Overclocked" is excluded from my guide. Currently, I have no more motivation to delve deeper into this topic.
Nevertheless, within the database, there are still screenshots of benchmark results.

I feel really burnt out after all this work...

But it's okay!
The core focus is on optimizing the platform, not overclocking.
That's a whole different topic!

If the feedback is positive, I might ... maybe ... revisit this topic.

Attached to this topic, you will find the guide in "German" and "English" - yes, I even went through the trouble of translating everything.^^

With kind regards, until further notice

Thank you for posting this. I have been using Intel for many years, and am going to make the switch to the 9800x3d here very soon, so I am thankful for this learning resource.
