Overclocking

ROG Overclocking Technologies

Take Ryzen beyond the already impressive sum of its parts. Dynamic OC Switcher and Core Flex create additional frequency waypoints for single and multi-threaded workloads, allowing Ryzen to break boundaries and achieve peak performance in all games and apps.

AI Overclocking

Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

Dynamic OC Switcher

Lightly-threaded tasks get fantastic uplift using AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO), but all-core frequencies can be pushed higher via traditional overclocking. The Dynamic OC Switcher lets you use them both, dynamically engaging PBO or your preferred settings based on the CPU current or temperature.

Temp - Current

• Manual OC - Ex: > 35A, < 80° - Multi-Threaded Performance
• AMD PBO - Ex: ≤ 35A, ≥ 80° - Single-Threaded Performance

Example:

If a user sets thresholds for current and temperature as shown, once CPU current exceeds 35A, the manual overclock engages until the temperature reaches 80°. At all other times, Precision Boost Overdrive will be used.

Core Flex

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximize base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current, and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

Temp - Current - Voltage

Max Performance - Medium - Safe & Stable

Examples:

Base Clock

• For this CPU, the base clock (BCLK) can be stably increased to give an extra boost during lightly threaded workloads.
• At Level 1, the BCLK is set to 104, and it remains at that frequency until the current reaches 35A.
• Then the BCLK drops down to 102, and stays in that Level 2 range up until 55A.
• From that point on, the CPU is using most or all of its threads, so the BCLK scales back to the default 100.

EDC

• By managing the Electrical Design Current (EDC) in tandem with the total current, this CPU can gain extra performance for short, demanding bursts.
• During lightly threaded workloads, below 35A, the Level 1 EDC is set to a low value, in this case 60.
• As more cores are needed, the EDC is set to 120, which was found by this user to be a sweet spot for performance.
• Once the CPU passes 70A, it is in multi-threaded territory, where it was found that a high EDC of 250 gave optimal performance.

PPT

• In order to let the CPU cool off if its temperatures go too high, this user constrains the Package Power Target (PPT) when thermals increase. Specifically the short-term value (“Fast”) is used.
• Until the CPU reaches 70°, it can run at full performance, so 350W is set to give plenty of overhead.
• At that point, the power limit reduces to 220W, to let the CPU start reducing heat.
• If it is still under sustained load and keeps getting hotter, then a more stringent 165W PPT is set at 85°.

Asynchronous Clock

For next-level frequency flexibility, the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene features a built-in clock generator that isolates CPU base clock from memory, PCIe, and the Infinity Fabric speed. Drive CPU performance to its absolute brink while maintaining the stability of related clock domains.

Power Solution

Teamed Power Architecture

Today's CPU architectures place incredible demands on motherboard power design by transitioning from deep power-saving modes, going from lower-power mode to full load in an instant. The latest ROG VRM architecture rises to the challenge by utilizing teamed power stages to rapidly swing current, while maintaining exemplary thermal performance.

A Brief History

ASUS became the first manufacturer to implement phase-doublers with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, back in 2005. The board's VRM was lauded for elegantly overcoming the power handling capabilities of components that were available at the time while also reducing voltage ripple. Those benefits led to phase-doublers becoming universally accepted in the industry, and they are still used for similar purposes today.

A Shift in CPU Demands

Modern CPUs pack more cores than their predecessors, and the latest instruction sets allow them to crunch computationally dense workloads at an incredible pace. In addition, they consume less power at idle and can transition between load states much more quickly. These improvements necessitate a re-evaluation of power-design priorities because phase-doublers add a propagation delay that hampers transient response.

While doublers help extend the number of effective phases, they do so at the cost of a processing delay.

Bucking the Trend

Fortunately, the latest integrated power components can handle higher currents than the devices of yesteryear, making it possible to implement a simple circuit topology that isn't hamstrung by the processing lag of phase-doublers. That's why the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene utilizes teamed power stages to deliver higher burst current per phase, while maintaining the thermal performance of phase-doubled designs.

The teamed architecture allows two power stages to work in tandem to provide more power to the CPU.

Thermal Performance

Each VRM component serves a specific purpose. PWM controllers and phase-doublers control the circuit, and the power stages do the heavy lifting from an electrical and thermal standpoint. The power stages feature low RDSON to reduce switching and conduction losses, helping to improve overall thermal headroom.

The MOSFETs within the power stages generate the most heat as they are responsible for voltage conversion and delivery to the CPU from the 12-volt EPS connector.

High-Quality Components

8+8 Pins ProCool III Power Connectors

Two ProCool connectors ensure a snug and reliable connection to the EPS 12V power lines

MicroFine Alloy Chokes

Each power stage is accompanied by a high-permeability alloy-core choke rated to handle 45 amps.

16+2 Power Stages

The VRM features 16 +2 power stages, each rated to handle 110 amps.

10K Black Metallic Capacitors

Input and output filtering is provided by solid-polymer capacitors rated to last thousands of hours at high operating temperatures.

Memory

DDR5 Memory

Comprehensive memory tuning options are the cornerstone of ROG motherboards. With the Crosshair X670E lineup, you can extract all of the potential out of your DDR5 modules, regardless of if they're from an extreme-speed kit or an entry-level set that would otherwise be locked.

DDR5 Strength

For those who want to fly past stock DDR5 speeds, the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene is primed and ready for enthusiast-grade kits courtesy of vast AMD EXtended Profiles for Overclocking (EXPO) support. Seasoned veterans can further tweak performance via the extensive array of settings in the UEFI.

AEMP

ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP) is an exclusive firmware feature for PMIC-restricted memory modules. AEMP automatically detects the memory chips on your kit and then presents optimized frequency, timing and voltage profiles that you can effortlessly apply to unleash performance.

Cooling

Meeting Ryzen thermal demands head-on, the ROG Crosshair X670E Gene wields hefty VRM, chipset, and M.2 heatsinks to keep everything running at top performance. To aid in airflow, the Gene boasts copious fan header support—a blessing for building in tight spaces. Once the rig is assembled, ROG tools make it easy to monitor and control fan speeds, and with the improved AI Cooling II utility, balancing system acoustics is better than ever.

Heatsinks
