Hi everyone,
I was testing the default EXPO I 5600mhz setting (1.25v).
After reading many posts I’m not sure how I should go about undervolting the SOC.
Would appreciate your help and knowledge about which voltages go hand-in-hand, what to change and keep on auto, etc.
I want to reduce the temps and power consumption, without sacrificing performance.
MOBO: ASUS TUF B650-E wifi
CPU: Ryzen 7700
RAM: DDR5 6000mhz max, Patriot (SK Hynix) - 32GB (2 x 16gb)
Attached are some BIOS pics (sorry for the glare) + some HWInfo64 shots, after playing a demanding game.
Which BIOS settings should I adjust to test stability at a lower voltage?

Long explanation of what and why I want it:
Some games seemed to have low 1% lows at the JEDEC 4800mhz, so I wanted to go either 5600 or 6000.
The default setting are respectively 1.25v and 1.35v, so the latter seems a bit too high and concerning.
I settled on 5600 for now and can see a good improvement, although if I can lower the voltage enough, would run it at 6000mhz. I was concerned about high voltage degradation
Any extra recommendations are welcome (like CPU settings, RAM timings, etc.) - I had previously applied various CO amounts - started -30, went down to -20, -15, but overall FPS 1% lows seemed to be impacted negatively so I just removed the CO for now.
Thanks!
