Backing up Ryzen 9 overclocking parameters for Starfield?
When tuning voltage, you have to follow the strict chain: Voltage Adjustment $
ightarrow$ Stress Test $
ightarrow$ Temp Monitor $
ightarrow$ Backup. During full-load rendering in the space station, the Ryzen 9 had transient voltage drops that caused clock instability, leading to visible jagged stutters in the frame generation. I used a processor stress test to monitor the voltage curve and tracked the core frequency fluctuation, narrowing it from 2438-2768MHz to a stable 2570-2648MHz. The first undervolt still had load spikes, but after layering a custom fan curve and fine-tuning the voltage, I managed to suppress the heat peaks to 67-70℃. I could actually feel the hot air coming out of the case decrease. Power draw is still between 176-202W, and there's some faint coil whine at night. I used OC software to verify that the frequency limit and temperature curves are smooth. Even if the BIOS resets, I have the backup ready. It took a while to break through the thermal wall, but the second calibration made it rock solid.
