Can anyone check my cine23 score and make recommendations on the screen shot it looks like I've left lots of room on table to push temp/watts

Ive got all the standard max pbo settings

Mobo ppt limits ect

Nvme and gpu are routed through the chipset and not cpu locked at gen3

X870m board

Artic 280

I havent hammered on my ram as cine23 does use it supposedly. (Gemini)

Ive got as high as 18911 or so but was DQ as I didnt have the right stuff on screen I guess.

Ive been using gemini for making tweaks. I just show it picture and it tells me what most things mean.

Anyway this run I just went into AMD oc and set CPU to static 5500 and volts to 1.35

Ive tried going to 5600mhz and volts to 1.39 it will post and boot to windows. Turbo line volts control, Temps look good but as soon as I Hwinfo stress test cpu It locks, cpu soc drops to .7

I would like to get above 19000.

Setting priority and killing explore before run with fans at max.

Ive done 30-40 undervolts depending on core but haven't got it down perfect.

I usually do worse but use more watts

Why do my userbenchmark runs keep being lost????

X870M is very nice but you cant unlink clocks as there is no external generator chip. So if you want to hard core OC maybe not this board if you like to push buses.

I apologize my mind jumps around, not great for communication.

x870m no external clock

Very close to my max numbers. I'm very near to where I'm gona start getting blue screens. Stable currently

Max pbo settings

Core 0 and 3 -15 and other four cores -22

Will play with under volts more and another one or two ram settings

Best benching happenes in the morning.

I love user bench but its lame my CPU is better but I get second place becuse they have better memory at 6400mhz vs my 6kmhz, yet passmark puts my mem at 98 percentile.

Today's project was creating a Lean Windows 10 Benchmarking OS

Setting up a dedicated Windows 10 benchmarking drive alongside a Windows 11 host system eliminates background telemetry, minimizes DPC latency, and ensures maximum score consistency.

Step 1: Create the Windows 10 Installation Media

* Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's official download page on your Windows 11 host PC.

* Insert a USB drive (8 GB or larger).

* Run the tool, select Create installation media (USB flash drive), pick 64-bit Windows 10, and write it to the flash drive. Make sure if it's a windows home version pick the same 10 version or whichever version you currently have registered to your Motherboard with windows license.

Step 2: Install Windows 10 & Configure Dual-Boot

* Leave your main Windows 11 NVMe connected and insert your prepared USB installer.

* Boot into the USB installer and select your secondary bench drive as the installation target.

* Bootloader Behavior: Because your Windows 11 drive is attached, Windows Setup will write the Windows Boot Manager to the primary drive's existing EFI partition.

* On reboot, Windows presents the blue Choose an operating system menu, allowing you to select between your primary Windows 11 OS and your new Windows 10 Bench OS before a default timeout runs out.

@@@@@@This new windows 10 drive will not boot on its on as it will not have the boot loader on it. If you remove your primary windows drive it will ensure that the bootloader goes on your new windows 10 install. After new drive is set up re attach your main drive. To switch between the two you would use the boot load selection in bios.

if used first method.

* Rename OS Labels using bcdedit: To distinguish between your daily drive and bench OS on the boot menu, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

bcdedit /set {current} description "Win10 Bench OS"

To rename your main Windows 11 OS label, find its identifier by typing bcdedit /enum, then run:

bcdedit /set {IDENTIFIER} description "Win11 Daily OS"

* Adjust Timeout & Default OS: Open msconfig \rightarrow Boot tab to set the default boot drive and lower the timeout delay (e.g., to 3 or 5 seconds) for faster booting.

.........................

Step 3: Run the PowerShell Debloat Utility

* Boot into your new Windows 10 Bench OS.

* Open PowerShell as Administrator (Right-click Start \rightarrow Windows PowerShell (Admin)).

* Launch Chris Titus's open-source Windows Utility (winutil) by running:

irm christitus.com/win | iex

* Navigate to the Tweaks tab in the utility GUI:

* Select your target preset (e.g., Desktop or Minimal) and ensure essential tweaks are enabled:

* Essential Tweaks: Telemetry - Disable, Activity History - Disable, ConsumerFeatures - Disable, Services - Set to Manual.

* Advanced Tweaks: Background Apps - Disable, Remove Bloatware / AppX Packages.

* Click Run Tweaks at the bottom left and wait for the process to complete in the background terminal.

Step 4: Verify Process Reduction

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) on your Windows 11 daily OS compared to your debloated Windows 10 bench OS:

* Windows 11 Daily OS: Displays heavy background process overhead (~169 processes or higher), elevated thread counts, and continuous background polling.

* Debloated Windows 10 Bench OS: After running the utility, background processes drop to roughly half (around 50–70 active processes), giving you maximum available system resources and flatlined DPC latency for your benchmark runs.
