Hello everyone. This is gonna be a long post so bear with me :)
I have managed to build a new PC. Specs below:
- Motherboard: Asrock X670E Steel Legend
- CPU: Ryzen 7800x3d
- CPU Cooler: beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4
- RAM: 2 x 16 GB GSKILL Trident Z5 NEO RGB 6000 MHZ CL30 (memory in the QVL list of MB)
- GPU: RTX 4070
- PSU: Corsair RM850X
Some info / issues:
1 - first boot was long. I didn’t knew if I did something wrong but after 2 minutes, the system booted to BIOS
2 - BIOS version was 1.21 ( 2023/4/27 )
3 - I have updated the BIOS to the latest version: 1.28 (2023/7/28)
4 - Again, the first boot took some time.
5 - Adjust the RAM PROFILE TO 6000 MHZ, saved BIOS and exited, again the PC took a long time to boot.
6 - Adjusted the Curve Optimizer -30 to all cores, again the PC took a long time to boot. At one point I even reset the BIOS because I didn’t know how long to wait.
7 - Memory context restore is enabled by default
Some more info:
- CPU Temperature: maximum recorded temp was in CB: 84C. (WITHOUT curve optimizer it reaches 89c)
- CPU frequencies: all cores boost to ~5ghz WITH CO -30 on all cores
- Cinebench score: 18200
- CPU SOC voltage: It never exceeds 1.24V. I manually tried to change to 1.2 but the PC didn’t boot or I didn’t wait enough? I reset the BIOS and left it on auto…
- cold start boot time: ~26s
- restart boot time: ~17s
- 7800x3d is the most efficient gaming CPU you can have!
Questions:
a - When I change specific CPU / RAM settings, the PC boots very slow to the point that you don’t know if something is froze. It makes you want to shutdown the PC and reset the BIOS…
b - How can I improve the boot times?
Thanks!
