How to Undervolt an AMD CPU - Get More Performance and less Heat

We go over How to Undervolt an AMD CPU to Get More Performance and less Heat. We go over How to optimize Ryzen 7950X, tame the beast to get what you want, just be careful.

Edit: I had more stability issues on day 3, so I bumped up the voltage to 1.13 and it's stable now.

Important Note: While optimizing your AMD Ryzen 9 7950X can significantly improve performance and reduce costs, it’s crucial to proceed with caution. Incorrect configurations can potentially harm your system. Please ensure you understand each step and how it applies to your specific setup. If you’re unsure, consider seeking professional assistance.

In this video, we explore the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor's power consumption and heat generation issues. We explain how these factors can reduce the processor's performance and show you how to undervolt the processor to improve efficiency, reduce heat, and save money. We provide a step-by-step guide, including using AMD Ryzen Master, CineBench R23, and HWInfo for testing. We also demonstrate how to reset the CMOS if things go wrong, helping you avoid the frustration you've encountered during testing. The goal is to achieve better performance with lower power consumption and reduced costs, all while keeping the process as simple and straightforward as possible. Always be careful though.

We go over How to Lower Temperatures and Power Consumption. This is not a video on undervolting GPU, or 7800X3D Undervolt, but is a video on undervolting a 7950X.

I had no idea you could undervolt you CPU...i thought it was just a GPU thing. Amazing video as usual brother. Thanks, I'll have to try this with my 5900x.

You make things so much simpler for this old fart. Thanks for all your hard work!

I have found that R24 tends to be better for testing stability. When I was fine tuning mine R24 I ran them both and it would crash on R24 long before there were any issues in R23. If you are going to invest the time to do some serious fine tuning you can either pay more for a motherboard with a clear cmos button (a lot more and not worth it just for that IMHO) or get some jumper wires and a switch for just a few bucks to make resetting it much easier. Then once you have everything dialed in, you can simply take off the jumpers.

Hmm. Back to Bios problems? Sad. Important work you are doing, nothing is more frustrating.

I have a NZXT 360mm aio. And did some stress testing my 7800x3d never gotten hotter than 70-75c and the voltage is 1.1 and it’s not overclocked.

Why is the 'battery way' safer than the jumper way?

Hello, first of all Great Video. But sadly AMD Ryzen Master has a Problem with showing my CPU Speed and Voltage. It detects it correctly as a AMD Ryzen 9 7900X but it just says current speed : 0 MHz and current Voltage : -1
