Well... I have a 7800X3D. Instead of consuming more power at idle, you could try opening the task manager, and setting the game process to run at high priority. That's it. Undervolting the CPU + a good AIO, and this beast of a CPU is unleashed. These two things will make the biggest difference in any game.

@@MrExdous69Of you are a pro in undervolting then you can even increase base or boost clock of your cpu while still creating less heat and having more performance at the same time.

I have turboboost that works with the cpu and gpu. C-states on it idles low but can go well above it's base frequency. C-states on, it just stays at its base frequency all the time but won't go above it either. You can check it out by clicking on task manager and then performance to see how your bios tweak worked out.
Rediculous advice. C state is there to down clock your CPU when not in use. Not only will you get an increased power bill you can reduce the life of your CPU. 🍩
Are there actual studies about that ? Or will it reduce the lifespan of the cpu from let's say 15 years to 10 ? After some google searching, many people say that tuning off c states won't decrease the lifespan of the cpu. So I'm a bit confused. I thought that what decreased the lifespan of the cpu was the vcore and temperature UNDER LOAD or running it at a fixed crazy high vcore 24/7.
That's only important if you plan to run our current shitty CPUs for the next hundred years. You CANNOT measure if C states will or will not shorten the lifespan of your CPU. Theoretically possible, practically negligible!! The increased power bill will amount to a couple of beers worth over one year, is it reaaaaallly that important? Don't bullshit yourself with such a statement like yours 😂😂😂
@@AngryChineseWomanShort answer: There's no conclusive studies as most people won't have the same CPU for more than a decade, so they can't tell if it would blow up or not. The conclusive answer is that disabling C-State will increase IDLE power consumption significantly and will increase heat by proxy, which in theory may reduce the CPU lifespan since it's now running hotter for longer periods of time. The question is: Do you intend to keep the same CPU for more than a decade for it to be meaningful to you? Is the price of the power bill where you live considerable enough that the increased power bill will affect you? Do you have good enough cooling that the increased heat won't mean much if anything?
@@ObakuZenCenter not sure what the problem could be it was like that from day one of a new fresh build. I only found out how about p-states from a post on tomshardware . Because apparently I'm not the only one with the problem.
my only stutter peformance is coming from low VRAM. and limitations in thread capacity. i use potato device. from my experience, setting CPU "power saving" C state active in BIOS does not affect any performance. i believe thats the same with those ASPM new options in BIOSes that has similar "power saving C state" like feature for GPU. i believe, it will NOT affects performance. if it does, there is something wrong in how your OS implement it. in linux it works properly(at least on mine), active when you idle or doing low load tasks, and auto disable when you active and under medium to heavy loads.
The whole "OMG Disabling the C-States increases my power consuption x1000%" Not the case. Even if the clock speeds are always at max speed there is a difference between the CPU being UNDER LOAD vs IDLE. Disabling the C-States fixed a lot of my gaming problems where the clockspeeds were jumping up and down causting stability problems. For overclockers this is also the right step to make it'll make the whole CPU more stable. So yes, max frequency isnt the same in load vs not. Depends on how much the application requests the CPU too. Power draw isnt always the same.
@@LustSinJin Yep. The C-Staces are nothing but a power saving feature. Also it depends on how the GPU requests the CPU but disabling them will keep the processor be steady all times, so it'll be up for any calls.
Hey man idk if you know this but with some msi motherboards they have a special setting called MSI Kombo Strike that allow higher clock speeds kinda like PBO but better even an lvl 1 undervolt mode but the lvl 3 is what i run now and it give about 4.4 to 4.5 ghz on mode 3 so if you could make a video on it or take a look at it im sure you will get great gains from your 5800x3d like i have just thought id let you know if you haven't ever heard of it considering no way to OC the chips but this is like a workaround btw love the videos great info keep it up!
@@hadoken8688 Yes and no, it's an offset to the AFVS curve what you're talking about. The CPU draws less Power at all states yes, so it may constantly boost to a higher frequency (almost all 5800X3D i.e. would do exactly that - 4450Mhz allcore boost) but stability has to be tested same as clock stretching.
I have run 5800x3D about 1,5 years -30 on all cores, 95W PPT, 60A TDC, 90A EDC. After this small change, the CPU runs at max boost clock 4550mhz all the time while gaming. Never slowing down + the CPU runs insanely cool/silent. I used to run it with a Lian Li 360 AIO, but changed to minimalistic one fan air cooler. Still, the CPU runs max boost speed all the time and performance is insanely better than with stock voltages. Boost clocks were all over the place and the power consumption was over 30% higher. The undervolt performance with low power is the only thing why I haven't changed to a new gen platform. Max 70-80W in Cyberpunk with path tracing and 100+ fps on ultrawide 1440p or 4k TV when paired with 4080 Super. In most games, the 5800x3D runs just under 50W at all time. Freaking insane CPU efficiency + gaming performance on old platform. Can't wait for next gen x3D CPUs. I just hope they would enable the massive 3D cache on all cores for all their 16+ core models.
@@cristiangongola8138 Asus and MSI are the only two viable options for motherboards. That's what I've seen over my last couple of decades of building, gaming and reading a hundred thousand + PC related posts. Gigabyte sucks. Asrock is low end. The best RAM is Crucial, Kingston and Corsair. Anything Corsair is great. Samsung memory when possible, like M.2 NVME drives. They cost more for a reason. Don't buy Powercolor GPU's. They're utter trash. Asus makes the best GPUs. Custom PCBs with overkill VRMs. Hence the premium price. XFX is okay, too, though. Most GPU brands are fine, just not Powercolor.
I use vsync and no longer get stutters or even see micro stutters. But my monitor is Freesync 40fps - 144fps as reported in Adrenalin software. I have herd about something like what you did back in the early days of Ryzen, something to do with a sleep bug I think. Anyway I am rocking a 6900XT in a custom water loop with a 5800X3D. In my opinion any X3D part will give you more performance out of your gpu in most games. To me last gen bargains in gpus is the way to go. They are performant enough to make 95% happy playing their game of choice. Upscaling works on last gen gpus. Take the saved $$ and buy a new monitor even OLED, You will notice that way more than a gpu upgrade.
From my experience the sleep bug had something to do with RAM that is not fully supported on a given setup. I had one of these computers that would not go to sleep. Eventual BIOS update have fixed it (increased compatibility) and now the computer goes to sleep as it should.
I think you need to setup registry editor for CPU and GPU behavior. If Basic settings in power management not works maybe something overdrive the Windows setting. Official or 3th party program for advanced tuning make that job. I personaly use 3th party throtlestop on my intel laptop to set all registry. Power limits, voltage, freqency. There is also adjusting speed how fast its going from low state to maximum frequency which is very usefull for laptop if you have start/stop fan than the temperature rise slower and get time to fan start properly without cpu thermal throtle but for desktop you need to set this to 0. Also iGPU options are there but I didnt investigate.
Nowadays, we value power efficiency a great deal. Not just about raw power like back in the days. Energy costs are too darn high these days that people are willing to underclock and even take a few percent off to cut down their energy bills.
Hey there, VERY interesting. I have a very similar system. A PNY 4090 XLR8, 7800X3D, 32GB @ CL30 and an Asrock X570E Steel Legend. I figure you have better cooling than I so fair enough. I chose to undervolt my CPU. In fact I use a preset on the Asrock board ... PBO on, tjmax 85C, all-core curve optimised -30mv. Now all the cores easily hit its maximum 5050MHz in gaming and multitasking 100% runs at 4925MHz @ 82C. I don't know what the Max frequency on the 7950X3D CCD with VCache is... is it higher? Can you please tell me whether you are running four or two sticks of RAM? I would dearly like to know. Cheers
Nah that was a "i need videws video". Dude face it ALL of these Yotubers are FULL OF SHIT. They have no opinions of their own and they say and do whatever will get them views. That why I like GamersNexus. 0 Opinions and they stick to the data.
I have an office pc with a 13700k, 3090 & gtx 1050ti. I like how the Intel cpu (13700k) multitasks. I mine with a 3090, use a gtx 1050ti for video/playback. I cpu mine with the cpu's P-cores and play Batman: Arkham Asylum (older games) at 1440p all high settings locked at 62fps using the cpu's E-cores (I use device manager) and Intel igpu (overclocked to 2000mhz, stock voltage) while playing/listening to a RUclips 1080p video, all with no stutters.
Still a dangerous option I will not take in my rig. I rather not get my own family angry with the power bill spike tbh. Good thing my Ryzen 5 5600G is okay and still operational in stock speeds.
Turning that option off, means your CPU will be running at 100% capacity at all times. It will significantly reduce your CPU lifespan and cause instability. Your CPU needs to enter “rest mode” when it isn’t required to be utilized at full capacity.
On the flip side setting your max CPU speed to 99% in windows will stop the fans spinning up (especially on laptops). It's odd how it saves a decent amount of power (handy in the summer when you don't have aircon).
I believe that is an inherent bug when you overclock your system. I have to reduce CPU max power limit in windows to 99% or less in order to make the power management kick in and idle the CPU. Any power plan with 100% max limit will run the CPU at 100% when you have overclocked the CPU in the BIOS. Edit: Windows will power manage and idle the CPU clocks down no problem with 100% max limit set if there are no CPU overclocks set in the BIOS.
You're trading performance for the power saving. I've seen people recommend this when they're causing over-heating issues by NOT allowing the CPU power scaling default in balanced power mode.
i do disable C-states it prevents CPU cores to idle (sleep) but i still saw 2 core idling below stock Bclock in a 3700x. But C-states enabled forces more core to idle when not in used (should be fine on most user). But disabling C-states reduces stuttering.
Man, I want to say thank you so freaking much. I've been struggling with the constant stuttering on my 7800x3D on the Asus X670E-F gaming motherboard, and I will definitely try this because at least someone is talking about it right now.
@@phongluu1725 There are about 2-3% of games that perform worse with SAM on. AND Darktide is one of the worst optimized games I've ever played. My 5900x + 6700XT 12GB has trouble getting decent framerates in it. And to beat it all, it's barely putting a load on my GPU.
I dunno, voice, looks, gestures... they all say "door to door salesman" to me, NOT someone whose tech "advice" I'd follow. Btw, you're dead wrong about c-states.
Will this fry you CPU if you turn this feature off? Im worried about doing this and the end result is not good for me. Also, I do not have a good CPU cooler trying to upgrade but need more money for now.
For a few FPS in exchange of a spike in your electric bill. I think I'll pass... I don't need the processor running on full speed every time including doing menial tasks. Not worth it.
Make sure to tell its for AMD Ryzen. For Intel is mandatory to disable C-states Also there is a difference b/w System Latency & FPS. 1% & 0.1% lows might change , might not but overall PC latency is different. So Ryen vs Intel ....
What is c stats.is it still good for MSI board? I bought the MSI board. used to go ASUS. I don't understand why it started shutting down on it's own when playing a game. Changed some stuff in the bios from a google search. I think it got better making sure the power supply cables are in. google says get another power supply. Under power overclock thing i googled worked the best. Gave me amazing fps. To much trouble this time. underclock GPU also worked.
Had the problem, it's the power supply. Basically the power supply can't give correct ammount of energy and go bellow or beyond the line tolerance, so the system shutdown to avoid a short circuit. If you have a modular supply, you can try to switch the PCI-E cables, or remove cable extensions if you got one. If it doesn't solve, I highly recommend another power supply as insistence on the current one may damage something.

this isn't worth it to basically everyone who owns a computer because you are using more CPU power when you don't need to its a good thing to keep C states on because there is no reason to make your CPU run harder than it absolutely has to and use more volts than needed
AMD CPU fTPM is also trash, disable that. Windows doesn't actually need it and it is no more secure. Creates stutters in games, also beware when you disable it, windows password will be wrong and you will need to reset it.
I was thinking hyper(multi)threading or C-states, these are 2 out of 5 parameters I track even in saved BIOS profile names, the rest being number of active cores, max freq and voltage.
As far as I’m aware C-states may be necessary for Windows and game bar to choose the cache cores for gaming. If you only have cache cores this isn’t a worry.
The system running at full speed non-stop = hotter system and louder fans + more dust inside + decreased longevity of the whole system, including the GPU. No thanks.
Why would it reduce the lifespan of the GPU ? And in my experience turning c states off has barely any impact on the cpu's temperature, maybe a few degrees more at idle but that's it. So not any added noise or dust due to higher fan speed, and barely any increase in GPU temp. As for the lifespan of the cpu, I run it at a fixed vcore of 1.36v 24/7 as I have always done with my previous cpus without any issue. From what I read, what kills cpus are temperature and voltage but under load. Under load, c states are disabled anyway.
Well its good to be aware of this C-State (Idle State) is used to reduce power consumption and run the CPU cooler. You have a good point and straight to the point thank you. I think I will have it enabled, don't want to waste money for a few extra frames per sec.
if u dont overclock like a freak, just leave c-states on. Its not only the power consumtion. do you run your car all time at peak rpm? its really not worth..
You end up with more consistency in the frames. Instead of having a large parabola, you have a tiny blip. I see it being especially useful for competitive games where any little slip up can hurt your game.

@@shadafridi at first the freezes occurred after longer periods of time. And now they have stopped altogether for some reason. I disabled and enabled it a few times.

@@lowbudgetmovies94 thanks man. This issue is pissing me off. Will try disabling C State. My processor is Ryzen 5 7600X and Motherboard is Gigabyte B650M gaming X AX. Don’t know if it’s manufacture related issue
@@shadafridi I'm on a 5700x and a gigabyte Vision b550. I don't think it's a mobo manufacturer issue. Also one of the fixes for this is a fresh windows. If disabling c state doesn't work you can also try that
What about low fps games like Microsoft Flight Simulator? I get on average 33-43 fps. (Monitor is Samsung G5 34 inch with Freesync Premium 165hz and GPU is Super 1660).
Why did you spend so much on a high fps monitor and pair it with a low budget, low fps GPU? The budget priority is the GPU on a gaming build. You should have bought a better GPU and cheaper monitor.
By any chance is your setup freezing the 1st game for The Finals? I have a very similar setup 7950x3D/4090 on Windows 10 and the 1st game is ALWAYS freezing for 30-45secs but after that it's smooth up until I turn it off and back on. I have Updated GPU drivers (And went back 4 versions), updated CPU drivers, updated bios, tried command lines in steam, validated filed for game, reinstalled game, used both power saving and full performance mode, disabled C-state, and tried using process lasso.
You dug around and found this super secret trick...after everyone who is really into that already knew for years. This Channel is a joke without any meanignful content.
are you gone be responsible and accountable for damahing cpus by disabling c cstates than actually prevent cpus from damaging ?im sure you dont so don't advertise people wrong things
@@darylandcat No. It usually harms performance and it's therefore disabled in all games by the graphics card drivers of NVIDIA, Intel and AMD. They then whitelist specific games that are allowed to use it, look it up! The user cannot manually whitelist games. It has to be done by the driver vendor because ReBAR causes so many problems.

C-states on, it just stays at its base frequency all the time but won't go above it either. You can check it out by clicking on task manager and then performance to see how your bios tweak worked out.
I just don’t feel comfortable doing that to my 7800X3D. I’m extremely happy with it and I don’t have any stutters like Conner system has

Rediculous advice. C state is there to down clock your CPU when not in use. Not only will you get an increased power bill you can reduce the life of your CPU. 🍩
Are there actual studies about that ? Or will it reduce the lifespan of the cpu from let's say 15 years to 10 ?
After some google searching, many people say that tuning off c states won't decrease the lifespan of the cpu. So I'm a bit confused. I thought that what decreased the lifespan of the cpu was the vcore and temperature UNDER LOAD or running it at a fixed crazy high vcore 24/7.
That's only important if you plan to run our current shitty CPUs for the next hundred years.
You CANNOT measure if C states will or will not shorten the lifespan of your CPU. Theoretically possible, practically negligible!!
The increased power bill will amount to a couple of beers worth over one year, is it reaaaaallly that important? Don't bullshit yourself with such a statement like yours 😂😂😂
@@AngryChineseWomanShort answer: There's no conclusive studies as most people won't have the same CPU for more than a decade, so they can't tell if it would blow up or not. The conclusive answer is that disabling C-State will increase IDLE power consumption significantly and will increase heat by proxy, which in theory may reduce the CPU lifespan since it's now running hotter for longer periods of time. The question is: Do you intend to keep the same CPU for more than a decade for it to be meaningful to you? Is the price of the power bill where you live considerable enough that the increased power bill will affect you? Do you have good enough cooling that the increased heat won't mean much if anything?
Not if you change power plan so it wont go over your base clock speeds
I turn c states off on my 5950x because it causing my system to lock up when it idols for long periods of time.
Then there is something wrong with your system. C States really should not be disabled and problems when it isn't indicate other underlying problems.
@@ObakuZenCenter not sure what the problem could be it was like that from day one of a new fresh build. I only found out how about p-states from a post on tomshardware . Because apparently I'm not the only one with the problem.
somethings unstable if it locks up at idle, I can run and leave my 5700x running for days doing nothing
Probably need to increase soc voltage, infinity fabric is probably not stable
my only stutter peformance is coming from low VRAM. and limitations in thread capacity. i use potato device. from my experience, setting CPU "power saving" C state active in BIOS does not affect any performance. i believe thats the same with those ASPM new options in BIOSes that has similar "power saving C state" like feature for GPU. i believe, it will NOT affects performance. if it does, there is something wrong in how your OS implement it. in linux it works properly(at least on mine), active when you idle or doing low load tasks, and auto disable when you active and under medium to heavy loads.
The whole "OMG Disabling the C-States increases my power consuption x1000%" Not the case. Even if the clock speeds are always at max speed there is a difference between the CPU being UNDER LOAD vs IDLE. Disabling the C-States fixed a lot of my gaming problems where the clockspeeds were jumping up and down causting stability problems. For overclockers this is also the right step to make it'll make the whole CPU more stable. So yes, max frequency isnt the same in load vs not. Depends on how much the application requests the CPU too. Power draw isnt always the same.
hello i notice that on my 12600k like sometimes when gaming the clocks bouncing is it cause c state?
@@LustSinJin Yep. The C-Staces are nothing but a power saving feature. Also it depends on how the GPU requests the CPU but disabling them will keep the processor be steady all times, so it'll be up for any calls.
thank you bro and merry christmas for you! i will disable it later cause i did notice that bouncing clocks while gaming @@FFox98
Good point mate, its true.
@@LustSinJinsame here on 12700k. disable c-state fixed my p cores freq to 4.68 and stutters gone in pubg
Hey man idk if you know this but with some msi motherboards they have a special setting called MSI Kombo Strike that allow higher clock speeds kinda like PBO but better even an lvl 1 undervolt mode but the lvl 3 is what i run now and it give about 4.4 to 4.5 ghz on mode 3 so if you could make a video on it or take a look at it im sure you will get great gains from your 5800x3d like i have just thought id let you know if you haven't ever heard of it considering no way to OC the chips but this is like a workaround btw love the videos great info keep it up!
im using kombo strike with my 5800x3d and seen a slight performance boost too.
Kombo Strikre 3 reduce voltage by -30 mv , so less heat and better frequency (stability)
@@hadoken8688 Yes and no, it's an offset to the AFVS curve what you're talking about. The CPU draws less Power at all states yes, so it may constantly boost to a higher frequency (almost all 5800X3D i.e. would do exactly that - 4450Mhz allcore boost) but stability has to be tested same as clock stretching.
@@FoRk-One it can stay at 4450Mhz almost all the time with undervolt
I have run 5800x3D about 1,5 years -30 on all cores, 95W PPT, 60A TDC, 90A EDC. After this small change, the CPU runs at max boost clock 4550mhz all the time while gaming. Never slowing down + the CPU runs insanely cool/silent. I used to run it with a Lian Li 360 AIO, but changed to minimalistic one fan air cooler. Still, the CPU runs max boost speed all the time and performance is insanely better than with stock voltages. Boost clocks were all over the place and the power consumption was over 30% higher.
The undervolt performance with low power is the only thing why I haven't changed to a new gen platform. Max 70-80W in Cyberpunk with path tracing and 100+ fps on ultrawide 1440p or 4k TV when paired with 4080 Super. In most games, the 5800x3D runs just under 50W at all time. Freaking insane CPU efficiency + gaming performance on old platform. Can't wait for next gen x3D CPUs. I just hope they would enable the massive 3D cache on all cores for all their 16+ core models.
How can i take any advice from someone using an asrock mobo?
I used to have a decent Asrock Z270 mobo, back in the day. Now, my B550M Asrock motherboard, just plain sucks!
@@cristiangongola8138 Asus and MSI are the only two viable options for motherboards. That's what I've seen over my last couple of decades of building, gaming and reading a hundred thousand + PC related posts. Gigabyte sucks. Asrock is low end.
The best RAM is Crucial, Kingston and Corsair. Anything Corsair is great. Samsung memory when possible, like M.2 NVME drives. They cost more for a reason.
Don't buy Powercolor GPU's. They're utter trash. Asus makes the best GPUs. Custom PCBs with overkill VRMs. Hence the premium price. XFX is okay, too, though. Most GPU brands are fine, just not Powercolor.
the fuck is your problem? asrock is amazing
I use vsync and no longer get stutters or even see micro stutters. But my monitor is Freesync 40fps - 144fps as reported in Adrenalin software. I have herd about something like what you did back in the early days of Ryzen, something to do with a sleep bug I think. Anyway I am rocking a 6900XT in a custom water loop with a 5800X3D. In my opinion any X3D part will give you more performance out of your gpu in most games. To me last gen bargains in gpus is the way to go. They are performant enough to make 95% happy playing their game of choice. Upscaling works on last gen gpus. Take the saved $$ and buy a new monitor even OLED, You will notice that way more than a gpu upgrade.
From my experience the sleep bug had something to do with RAM that is not fully supported on a given setup. I had one of these computers that would not go to sleep. Eventual BIOS update have fixed it (increased compatibility) and now the computer goes to sleep as it should.
I think you need to setup registry editor for CPU and GPU behavior. If Basic settings in power management not works maybe something overdrive the Windows setting. Official or 3th party program for advanced tuning make that job. I personaly use 3th party throtlestop on my intel laptop to set all registry. Power limits, voltage, freqency. There is also adjusting speed how fast its going from low state to maximum frequency which is very usefull for laptop if you have start/stop fan than the temperature rise slower and get time to fan start properly without cpu thermal throtle but for desktop you need to set this to 0. Also iGPU options are there but I didnt investigate.
Nowadays, we value power efficiency a great deal. Not just about raw power like back in the days. Energy costs are too darn high these days that people are willing to underclock and even take a few percent off to cut down their energy bills.
Go do the actual math on your use case for a year.
This is a really helpful video especially knowing that 'The Finals' is more leaned towards being cpu intensive game
Hey there, VERY interesting.
I have a very similar system. A PNY 4090 XLR8, 7800X3D, 32GB @ CL30 and an Asrock X570E Steel Legend.
I figure you have better cooling than I so fair enough.
I chose to undervolt my CPU. In fact I use a preset on the Asrock board ... PBO on, tjmax 85C, all-core curve optimised -30mv.
Now all the cores easily hit its maximum 5050MHz in gaming and multitasking 100% runs at 4925MHz @ 82C.
I don't know what the Max frequency on the 7950X3D CCD with VCache is... is it higher?
Can you please tell me whether you are running four or two sticks of RAM? I would dearly like to know.
Cheers
I like how this guy turn 180° and starts the intro. (Nice Job i couldn't do it and my neck started to pain)
I thought you got rid of your 4090 and was happy with a 7900XTX 🤔.
nah. he went back for clout
Nah that was a "i need videws video". Dude face it ALL of these Yotubers are FULL OF SHIT. They have no opinions of their own and they say and do whatever will get them views. That why I like GamersNexus. 0 Opinions and they stick to the data.
my i7 9700 seems to like c states off, a lot smoother in assassins creed
I've turned off all the C/P states already a very loooong time ago 😅
How long am I going to have to endure the mustache trend.
ahh yes, the glorious trick of disabling every powersaving feature for 1% performance gain. truely ingenius.
is there a video about how to enable the igpu with the gpu?
"ruining" is putting it a but... strongly
good for u, u show nothing to turn off in bios setting (turn off what?)
Disabling c-states has been basic practice for overclocking since the beginning of ever.
If you're not tinkering or OCing, I wouldn't turn it off.
I have an office pc with a 13700k, 3090 & gtx 1050ti. I like how the Intel cpu (13700k) multitasks. I mine with a 3090, use a gtx 1050ti for video/playback. I cpu mine with the cpu's P-cores and play Batman: Arkham Asylum (older games) at 1440p all high settings locked at 62fps using the cpu's E-cores (I use device manager) and Intel igpu (overclocked to 2000mhz, stock voltage) while playing/listening to a RUclips 1080p video, all with no stutters.
Still a dangerous option I will not take in my rig. I rather not get my own family angry with the power bill spike tbh. Good thing my Ryzen 5 5600G is okay and still operational in stock speeds.
Turning that option off, means your CPU will be running at 100% capacity at all times. It will significantly reduce your CPU lifespan and cause instability. Your CPU needs to enter “rest mode” when it isn’t required to be utilized at full capacity.
On the flip side setting your max CPU speed to 99% in windows will stop the fans spinning up (especially on laptops). It's odd how it saves a decent amount of power (handy in the summer when you don't have aircon).
Works on both AMD and Intel systems.
I believe that is an inherent bug when you overclock your system.
I have to reduce CPU max power limit in windows to 99% or less in order to make the power management kick in and idle the CPU. Any power plan with 100% max limit will run the CPU at 100% when you have overclocked the CPU in the BIOS.
Edit: Windows will power manage and idle the CPU clocks down no problem with 100% max limit set if there are no CPU overclocks set in the BIOS.
It's because your CPU stops boosting above base clock speed
You're trading performance for the power saving. I've seen people recommend this when they're causing over-heating issues by NOT allowing the CPU power scaling default in balanced power mode.
@@xxBladex3x Exactly right.
unless im read these wrong its actually better to plug both monitors into your gpu? and not plug anything into the igpu or am I wrong?
Damn bro that loss of 10 fps really was murdering my PC, you were right
ive done this with a static overclock as well for 5+ years, no issues.
i do disable C-states it prevents CPU cores to idle (sleep) but i still saw 2 core idling below stock Bclock in a 3700x.
But C-states enabled forces more core to idle when not in used (should be fine on most user).
But disabling C-states reduces stuttering.
I have a 7950x3d how can i turn it into the 7800x3d by disabling the non cached cores ?
You should've gone over eist, speedshift, package and core C states, and power consumption differences.
pro tip : keep your c state enabled ! nothing to worry about you 0.1% frame rate and keep your energy consumption as low as possible :D
Man, I want to say thank you so freaking much. I've been struggling with the constant stuttering on my 7800x3D on the Asus X670E-F gaming motherboard, and I will definitely try this because at least someone is talking about it right now.
Try disabling Smart Access Memory (SAM). It resolved my stuttering issues in Warhammer 40k Darktide.
I'm so confused. I saw many RUclipsrs had many tests with SAM on. They are always great. How could that be bad?
@@phongluu1725 There are about 2-3% of games that perform worse with SAM on. AND Darktide is one of the worst optimized games I've ever played. My 5900x + 6700XT 12GB has trouble getting decent framerates in it. And to beat it all, it's barely putting a load on my GPU.
Sponsored by your local power company. ⚡️
Are the 1% lows a reason for stutter? Not sure if my MSI has this feature.
I dunno, voice, looks, gestures... they all say "door to door salesman" to me, NOT someone whose tech "advice" I'd follow.
Btw, you're dead wrong about c-states.
Will this fry you CPU if you turn this feature off? Im worried about doing this and the end result is not good for me. Also, I do not have a good CPU cooler trying to upgrade but need more money for now.
For a few FPS in exchange of a spike in your electric bill. I think I'll pass... I don't need the processor running on full speed every time including doing menial tasks. Not worth it.
Do you get good temps with that case? 2:32
My pc was freezing with C States enabled and multi-monitor.
Dude, lmao everytime I see a PNY XLR8 gpu I giggle a little knowing I'm not the only one who can't get that stupid RGB to quit cycling like that
Does he ever even say what setting it is?
Make sure to tell its for AMD Ryzen. For Intel is mandatory to disable C-states
Also there is a difference b/w System Latency & FPS. 1% & 0.1% lows might change , might not but overall PC latency is different. So Ryen vs Intel ....
For intel disable e cores
when i disable cstates i bsod randomly
What is c stats.is it still good for MSI board?
I bought the MSI board. used to go ASUS.
I don't understand why it started shutting down on it's own when playing a game. Changed some stuff in the bios from a google search. I think it got better making sure the power supply cables are in. google says get another power supply.
Under power overclock thing i googled worked the best. Gave me amazing fps.
To much trouble this time. underclock GPU also worked.
Had the problem, it's the power supply. Basically the power supply can't give correct ammount of energy and go bellow or beyond the line tolerance, so the system shutdown to avoid a short circuit. If you have a modular supply, you can try to switch the PCI-E cables, or remove cable extensions if you got one. If it doesn't solve, I highly recommend another power supply as insistence on the current one may damage something.
@@masteroak9724 kinda sucks i already payed the $200 for it. in a country where the rates are higher then the us as well.
gotta raise funds.
I think with the settings i used hasn't had any issue's since. Maybe someone replaced it with the one i bought at store :( ...
this isn't worth it to basically everyone who owns a computer because you are using more CPU power when you don't need to its a good thing to keep C states on because there is no reason to make your CPU run harder than it absolutely has to and use more volts than needed
when youre in gpu bottleneck c state on causes stutters in games
I don't see ultimate power plan in windows with 7800x3d n newest chipset driver?
We not talking about the intro ?
Wait... my pc will be ruined if i don't do this? Even if this wasn't clickbait, your own benchmarks aren't that much better than stock.
AMD CPU fTPM is also trash, disable that. Windows doesn't actually need it and it is no more secure. Creates stutters in games, also beware when you disable it, windows password will be wrong and you will need to reset it.
I was thinking hyper(multi)threading or C-states, these are 2 out of 5 parameters I track even in saved BIOS profile names, the rest being number of active cores, max freq and voltage.
Will try this 7950x3d-, Windows 11 pro, MSI RTX 4090 Suprim Liquid X
Don’t do this on 7950X3D if all cores are enabled.
@@GraphicallyChallengedwhy is that? really curious, because I have an 7950x3D
As far as I’m aware C-states may be necessary for Windows and game bar to choose the cache cores for gaming.
If you only have cache cores this isn’t a worry.
lol dont do this
POWEERRRR!!!!!!! LMAO Wait till you get your power bill
The system running at full speed non-stop = hotter system and louder fans + more dust inside + decreased longevity of the whole system, including the GPU. No thanks.
Why would it reduce the lifespan of the GPU ?
And in my experience turning c states off has barely any impact on the cpu's temperature, maybe a few degrees more at idle but that's it. So not any added noise or dust due to higher fan speed, and barely any increase in GPU temp.
As for the lifespan of the cpu, I run it at a fixed vcore of 1.36v 24/7 as I have always done with my previous cpus without any issue. From what I read, what kills cpus are temperature and voltage but under load. Under load, c states are disabled anyway.
Well its good to be aware of this C-State (Idle State) is used to reduce power consumption and run the CPU cooler. You have a good point and straight to the point thank you. I think I will have it enabled, don't want to waste money for a few extra frames per sec.
what mic are u using?
Umm, clickbait bologna. I feel dumber now after watching even a small portion of this.
Bros moving his body WAY too much
Interesting. I will have to look into this on my system.
if u dont overclock like a freak, just leave c-states on. Its not only the power consumtion. do you run your car all time at peak rpm? its really not worth..
AMD bug .. useless on Intel.
Just say it.. why the fuck you gotta draw this out
Also some gigabyte mb has coil whine with c-states enabled.
What about windows 11 😂
It lowers the average FPS from what your graphs showed though so there is a tradeoff.
You end up with more consistency in the frames. Instead of having a large parabola, you have a tiny blip. I see it being especially useful for competitive games where any little slip up can hurt your game.
My PC was freezing randomly with no signal on the screen. Event Viewer showed critical error ID 41 source kernel power. Someone said disabling global c state is the solution. Is this actually going to be the solution?
I have the same issue. Did this fix your problem?
@@shadafridi at first the freezes occurred after longer periods of time. And now they have stopped altogether for some reason. I disabled and enabled it a few times. ID 41 is no clear error code it just means the system had an unexpected shutdown. Idk if this is what fixed it but it's been a few weeks and my system hasn't frozen like that again.
@@lowbudgetmovies94 thanks man. This issue is pissing me off. Will try disabling C State. My processor is Ryzen 5 7600X and Motherboard is Gigabyte B650M gaming X AX. Don’t know if it’s manufacture related issue
@@shadafridi I'm on a 5700x and a gigabyte Vision b550. I don't think it's a mobo manufacturer issue. Also one of the fixes for this is a fresh windows. If disabling c state doesn't work you can also try that
So disabling C states solve your problem?
I had to turn this off on my 1800X and 5950X because otherwise they would randomly crash.
yeah drop it while it's hot.
Not exactly a "run-of-the-mill" build.
What about low fps games like Microsoft Flight Simulator? I get on average 33-43 fps. (Monitor is Samsung G5 34 inch with Freesync Premium 165hz and GPU is Super 1660).
Why did you spend so much on a high fps monitor and pair it with a low budget, low fps GPU? The budget priority is the GPU on a gaming build. You should have bought a better GPU and cheaper monitor.

Pretty normal bro. Its a unreal engine game so the first game is always laggy. Just like most unreal engine games
