Performance

Overclocking

Dynamic OC Switcher

Dynamic OC Switcher maximises CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overclock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.

Example:

If a user sets thresholds for current and temperature as shown, once CPU current exceeds 35A, the manual overclock engages until the temperature reaches 80°. At all other times, Precision Boost Overdrive will be used.

Asynchronous Clock

For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI7 Neo features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed. Drive CPU performance to its absolute brink while maintaining the stability of related clock domains. Separate CPU BCLK from other domains for unfettered overclocking.

Core Flex

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximise base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

Examples:

Base Clock

• For this CPU, the base clock (BCLK) can be stably increased to give an extra boost during lightly threaded workloads.
• At Level 1, the BCLK is set to 104, and it remains at that frequency until the current reaches 35A.
• Then the BCLK drops down to 102, and stays in that Level 2 range up until 55A.
• From that point on, the CPU is using most or all of its threads, so the BCLK scales back to the default 100.

EDC

• By managing the Electrical Design Current (EDC) in tandem with the total current, this CPU can gain extra performance for short, demanding bursts.
• During lightly threaded workloads, below 35A, the Level 1 EDC is set to a low value, in this case 60.
• As more cores are needed, the EDC is set to 120, which was found by this user to be a sweet spot for performance.
• Once the CPU passes 70A, it is in multi-threaded territory, where it was found that a high EDC of 250 gave optimal performance.

PPT

• In order to let the CPU cool off if its temperatures go too high, this user constrains the Package Power Target (PPT) when thermals increase. Specifically the short-term value (“Fast”) is used.
• Until the CPU reaches 70°, it can run at full performance, so 350W is set to give plenty of overhead.
• At that point, the power limit reduces to 220W, to let the CPU start reducing heat.
• If it is still under sustained load and keeps getting hotter, then a more stringent 165W PPT is set at 85°.

PBO Enhancement

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, AMD's algorithm can leverage the motherboard's robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.
