How-to-undervolt-AMD-RYZEN-5800X3D-Guide-with-PBO2-Tuner VS HeroicGamesLauncher

i underclocked mine, i used this guide.

You still got the option to undervolt the CPU (guide) and the GPU (video tutorial). Maybe the power spikes are too extreme in some cases.

I have two PC's that each have a 5800X3D in them. In my Ghost S1 Build I am running a Noctua L12 (Ghost Edition), With the CPU Undervolted via PBO it runs well. Average gaming temps are around 70 Degrees. Full load the CPU gets closer to 80-85ish degrees. I wouldn't recommend this setup for long sustained work loads as you will leave some performance on the table but otherwise it works fine. I have my fan ramp up to 100% when it gets past 75 degrees. The fan / Cooler are relatively quiet. Very well built cooler.

I ended up using this guide: https://github.com/PrimeO7/How-to-undervolt-AMD-RYZEN-5800X3D-Guide-with-PBO2-Tuner/blob/main/README.md

Heroic Games Launcher: Support is limited to Epic, GOG and Amazon but the advantage is that it can manage their games itself without the need of their own launchers. Doesn't have support for tags currently.

For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

Maybe also look into HeroicGamesLauncher and how to install it, Steam isn't the only platform for gaming and HeroicGamesLauncher help with the following platform: GoG (Good Old Games) and EGS (Epic Game Store).
