I usually dont comment but this dude lowered my temps by like 30 degress. My 5800x was making my nr200 case an oven by running at 90 degress but these tweaks helped by a landslide, thank you.

Thanks for that it litteraly drop my temperatures by 20 degree while keeping the same performance awesome!👌

Nice video!! I can confirm on my 5800x the temperature decreased a lot, went from 75 to 61 on the Time Spy test, and in general, avoided boosting the coolers all the time (that was unpleasant). I'm using idCooling XT 224 as an Air cooler in a Cooler Master NR200p (with tempered glass) Thanks!

Awesome Dude. Did IT with my 5900x too. Awesome!!! I did an individual PBO CO for each clock and! set Voltage offset -0.075V too. Boost offset -150mhz. So i get 4.8 ghz boost and max 65 degree temps in games. In multi benches it even not hit 60 degree.

Thank you for the guide my cpu now runs very cool

[Aelron]

It really helped, thanks! I set exactly the same settings as in the video.

I was having bad temp problems but i swapped my case and added two 140mm fans in the front to blow air into the case. my temps lowered by at least 15 degrees with the gpu and cpu temps. the 5800x needs very good airflow. i was using a corsair 110q at first but i swapped it for the nzxt h5flow. best purchase of my life.

I seem to have got some rare luck in life and my 5800x runs super cool stock or not but tested eco mode in bios for hell of it and it runs like 15 degrees plus even cooler lmao and fps difference is negligible. It is honestly a single toggle in Asus Bios so easy so worth trying also for others.

I just lower the Processor Power Management in power plan to minimum 80% and maximum 90% to get good temps. I've been doing this for about a year now and still get 35-40 when idling and 63-69 when under heavy load. Can anyone tell me if this is a bad idea or not? Haven't had any issues for over a month

[bull_chip]

Many thanks man, really good job. Fits me very well. Sometimes it still spikes to 66-70 during lots of tasks with M2 or SSD and playing at the same time, but quickly goes back to 55-60 and 35 celsius while idling. Thank you!
Now trying your new settings from comments under video with -250 and -30 in CO

[TOMMY-nlok]

Proven and tested it was working thanks!!

[MultiSciGeek]

Apparently it's ok to run this chip at 90 degrees. It's designed that way.

[wizardry-yq]

this very good -20° impressive bios update .

[danieldevito]

I installed a twin fan, twin tower cooler on my 5800x and I have yet to see my CPU temp go over 74°, no matter what I throw at it. I had the Wraith Prism on there before, but that just wasn't cutting it.

[Supriorr]

Another simple way to decrease temps are go to the throttle menu and put in 75c while the motherboard handles the power.

[thaddeus]

Ogh nice, got my 5800x year ago, upgraded from 3600 and i have same motherboard like yours, had to play a lot with undervolting and negative offset for each core, it took me like a month, because i had to test each core at the time with small changes for longer usage, because with big changes it could pass any stress test and then at random day at random easy tasks it was crashing.
I also blame gigabyte for overvolting cpu's at stock, other boards like msi doesn't allow zen 3 to run up to 1.5v at stock like our x570 does. Been stable for a year now, temps went from 90c limit(throttle) even with deepcool assassin III cooler, to 67c and silent barely audible fan speeds. Need to revisit my settings once more when i update bios. Thanks for video Bro!

How can i config max override on b450 aorus elite, i cannot see the function

[grandmacraft]

I have noctua NH-d15 and get 89 degrees celcius can sombody help me

[pfandahalf]

Interesting. I've never heard of anyone doing this. I am currently running my 5800x with +200 mhz PBO and curve optimizer from +10 to +30 depending on the core but will keep your method in mind if I decide to lower temperature.

CPU Boost Clock Override isn't it better to leave it "disable"?
