The Secrets of Curve shaper, 9950X Zen 5 Tuning Guide.

I have had the 9950x for about 2 months now. I have been tuning and trying to get the most out of it. I have learned a lot along the way. Many things are the same as Zen 4, But with the new architecture The infinity fabric will run faster, 8000mhz memory is now easily stable, and there's this new Curve Shaper. I haven't found a much useful info about it online. But this is a powerful new tool which lets us further dial in our AMD CPUs to get the most out of them.

We will be utilizing PBO's curve optimizer and curve shaper to overclock, undervolt, and find the sweet spot for performance and reliability. The 9950X isn't a gaming specific CPU like most of the content I create, but it is a absolute powerhouse.

I found the best strategy is to set a base level conservative curve optimizer and then tune the shaper from there. Take a look at my video and you'll see the parameters explained and how I setup my bios.
