    EDC runs at 100% no matter what (from my observations). I'm yet to see someone who isn't hitting 100% EDC. It might lower the temps very slightly because at stock settings you will hit PPT or TDC limits quickly.

    It doesn't do any of that. it just allows all core boost to go higher before hitting limits. Only thing that limits power usage and temps are PPT and to some extent TDC.

    Correct. If you keep getting this error during idle, then you need to keep lowering the CO undervolt for that core. So if -15 wasn't stable, -10 is the next thing to try and so on. Some people can only do -5 on their preferred cores, some couldn't move off of 0, and some people claimed to have...

    Yes, sort of. In the event viewer, you will see the APIC ID number. That ties into a physical core of the CPU. The physical cores start at 0 and so do the APIC IDs. The formula is FLOOR(APICID/2). So you are looking at something like: Core 0 - APIC IDs 0 and 1, Core 1 - APIC IDs 2 and 3, Core...

If I was doing it over, I would probably look for a 3600c16 kit, as it seems to do 3800c14 more often. I could only...

    It's the norm for b-die. Check out the community spreadsheets for Zen2 and Zen3. 9 out of 10 people run that. :) It's a $200 kit in a $3k PC. If it dies, it dies. Probably won't happen for years.

    Right. Any other RAM it's too much. For b-die, people run that 24/7. Some go up to 1.6v. I have active cooling on my RAM, and it doesn't go above 40c under load and above 45c under load while gaming. G.Skill sells b-die kits rated for 1.5v with long-term (lifetime) warranty...

    Makes sense. I am only pushing the RAM really. The CPU is actually undervolted and the 3080 is at stock volts but boosted curve. The RAM at 1.49v is the only scary part, but everyone says b-die can take it long-term. We'll see.

    I have a note in there about L3 cache speeds. We are supposed to be seeing around 1200MB on 5900x, since they have 2 CCDs. However, even at stock everyone with PB sees between 600 to 700. Once you start using PBO, in my case specifically, the higher I went on TDC limit and the lower I went on...

    Bumped my RAM OC up to 3733 c14-13-13-13-27-40-T1 (GDM Enabled) at 1.5v. Scores went up. Latency is down to 55.5ns in AIDA64. Makes a big difference in how snappy everything feels. Windows seem to open before my mouse button comes back up. :D

    Something doesn't seem right. If I were you, I would try clearing the CMOS. Then loading optimized defaults. Then checking things out. And then slowly try your settings again. CPU overclock first. Then RAM overclock. Personally, I am not considering 11900K. It sucks you are having so much...

    HWInfo64 shows it or OCCT shows it as well, as it used HWInfo engine behind the scenes.

    99% done tweaking: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/kmryeg/my_5900x_final_oc/ All core boosts to 4.8GHz now effective (temp limited). Single core boosts to 5GHz.

    Odd. Mine behaves the same as what Endgame described. Negative CO values result in higher All Core boosts.
