4090 Config for FAH

Thats something that annoys me when im trying to overclock my GPU. Ill run it at stock settings, then start increasing the core clock first then start with memory and once i start adjusting memory, the score tanks.

This means you need more powah, or put differently, the memory OC is too costly to maintain the core OC. Might want to see what you get when you turn the principle around and start with memory until you hit instability, and then see what core headroom is left.

When a lot of people tune their power limits, they go lower in an effort to reduce heat and noise. When they do that, they are actually lowering the performance of their PC,. It might not be measurable with the tasks they run, that just means they are running the wrong tasks and can't see what they are actually doing. But it's there.

I actually locked the power limit on my AMD Ryzen 7 7700 non-x to 65W because sometimes it pulled more on auto settings in the bios and I wouldn't say I saw a huge difference between 65W to 80-90W on my cpu because I haven't tuned it other than running EXPO at 6000MHz CL36 (I know CL36 is slow honest I brought this G.Skill kit when DDR5 was so new it was what was available for me at the time).

I am not worried about heat or noise with my Noctua NH-D15 chrome.max black with 2 fans I know it can handle even the 7800X3D/9800X3D but it doesn't mean I want to run 105W or 125W on my Ryzen 7 7700 chip.

I guess I was speaking for Zen 3.. Zen 5 coming in hot, so I will find out for myself
