After assembling the computer, I have been playing PUBG all the time for nearly three months and have improved a lot. During this period, I have also been working on the computer's performance to make PUBG run smoothly, focusing mainly on the CPU and memory.
The CPU I purchased is 5600, and I have always wanted to overclock it (overclocking has risks, it will shorten the CPU's lifespan, maybe around 10 years, the performance won't keep up after 10 years 😅). I searched for tutorials online, initially bought a Jingyue motherboard, all in English which I couldn't understand, then switched to a Mingxuan B450m Challenger which can be used, but the CPU overclocking seems to struggle, probably due to cooling and power supply issues. This motherboard has a 3+2 phase power supply, which is not enough. These days, I switched to a Gigabyte B550M AORUS Elite with a 5+3 phase power supply, and changed the cooler to a Cooler Master CR-1000, now the overclocking is stable, the CPU is running at 4.8GHz (highest boost clock 4.4GHz) with a core voltage of 1.26.
Under full load, the temperature reaches 80 degrees, and the power consumption is at 101 watts.
Next is the memory, Jiuhe Star Dance 3600 frequency c16, not very good, standard voltage is set to 1.4, but I couldn't get it stable, had to increase to 1.45 to make it work, timings are now 15 19 19 19 36, not very low, the computer is decent, with a latency of around 75.
Moving on to the graphics card, I slightly overclocked the GPU in the driver settings, using the built-in system. Since I have an AU and A card, I can use AMD's Smart Access Memory (SAM) technology, allowing the CPU to directly access the GPU for data retrieval (I also considered this when changing the motherboard, as well as the fact that the Mingxuan B450MM.2 has only one M.2 slot, which is PCIe 3.0, while the Gigabyte B550M has PCIe 4.0, with the second M.2 slot being PCIe 3.0). Officially, performance can be increased by around 11%.
Requirements:
CPU
5000 series
3000 series (some)
Motherboard
B550 or higher
Bios updated to the latest version
Graphics Card
6000 series or higher
Overall, in PUBG, the performance is stable at around 170 FPS (lowest). Feels pretty good, as long as the frame drops are not too many 😛.
