Optimization/drivers help

jfe · Tuesday at 2:31 PM

Hello, I have Ryzen 5600 with B550 Aorus Elite V2 rev. 1.1 MB and I want to know how to optimize performance of my setup.

Should I use chipset drivers delivered by manufacturer of motherboard or AMD newest?
Is there anything I can change in BIOS expect turning on XMP (I'm using newest beta version) or Windows settings to make it work better?

You can tweak the RAM timings. It's said that this 'can shorten the lifespan' of your RAM. But I think RAM is the part that is least likely to fail.

You can choose the fastest software, often by picking the most optimal software you can make a larger jump than by tweaking BIOS/windows settings.

You can also use Linux, which on average is usually faster than windows in most apps that can be directly compared.
