Title; I've been trying to work my new 7700X platform to squeeze the most out of it. I have a Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2 (Microcenter bundle board) and a GSkill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB 6400CL32 kit. I set EXPO but was unable to run it straight up, so after some Googling/Redditing and tweaking I have been able to:
- Run it at 6400MHz (System Memory Multiplier 64.00)
- Infinity Fabric at 2133
- Memory Target Speed 6400 MTs
- Memory Context Restore Enabled (without doing this it was not stable)
- UCLK:MCLK
- Change timings to 30-38-38-101 from 32-39-39-102 (to see if i can lower anything; this was how it was for the last week)
- Some PBO related stuff (limits, +200, per-core between -14 and -22; not fine-tuned, youtube tutorial'd values)
- Change timing to 30-38-38-76 and tREF to 50000
At my last step above, I can benchmark and all just fine. I now have my personal bests on y-cruncher, 3D Mark CPU, AIDA64 and R23, so it's improving. But, ZenTimings still shows the stock 32-39-xxx values, except tREF is now 50000 (was 12463).
What might I be doing wrong, why don't my changes reflect in CPU-Z/ZenTimings/RyzenMaster? Unless they only read the EXPO timings? At the risk of sounding really stupid, if EXPO is set, does that override any custom timings? But then why did it update tREF? Clearly something changes to increase scores and lower latency on AIDA64 bench, but why can't I get these to show in Windows like many others have been able to?
