Whatever floats your boat really. It must run for you, not anyone else.
Mexicola9302 Yea i was running it on my first ccd and the second was being used for windows/background apps. It brought my usage down 30-40%, eliminated my spikes/ frame drops, and even helped latency. I was still crashing and for some reason the game was idling my cpu around 80 degrees in the menu. Changing my max processor state to 99 to over ride the games attempts at overclocking my cpu brought my idle temp in game down 30 degrees and completely fixed my problem. Changed my user.cfg file to run on all cores again and it runs good now. Every few hours i had a cpu wattage spike that would crash me again so now i manually set a 105w cpu limit in bios to match my board and cpu. No crashes so far but i wont say theyre gone just yet
The game needs 8 cores and you have 12, it must use your second CCD that increases the latency very much and that really really sucks in gaming believe me. You don't want 6 or 12 cores for gaming, you want 8 or 16, or else games run like crap. I had a 6 core CPU (i7-4930K) for many years and know about the problem.
The game would run better with a 5800x, 5800x3d or 5950x, because the number of cores matches what is expected of them. The 12 cores you have are perfect for working etc. but not for gaming. I even had that 5900x and replaced it with a 5950x, but now I have a 9950x3d that also works great for games.
Older games that are optimized for 6 cores will still work fine on your 5900x but not the newer ones,
If you put that:
Thread.ProcessorCount 6
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6 or 12 not sure atm sorry, try it out. I think 6 is the correct number, this way the game only uses one of your two CCD and it might run better. But if it runs worse just remove the file again.
In a "usercfg.ini" and put it in your game directory it might fix problems. It should reduce the CPU utilization by 50%. I use an ini too, so the game only uses 8 of my 16 cores and doesn't touch the non x3d cores.
I use this:
Thread.ProcessorCount 8
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 16
with my 9950x3d. And it works perfectly fine how I expect it to work.
McMacApple it doesn't look like XMP memory overclocking is enabled in the HWiNFO screenshot.
The 15-15-15-36-51 timing doesn't match any of the XMP timing profiles.

Here it is
Did just a little research on it and got a decent answer. It does disable AMD’s precision boost but im heavily GPU bound. I run a ryzen 5900x with an nvidia 3060 with 12gb vram. My cpu never peaks 40% but my gpu maxes out pretty fast. Basically overclocking/precision boost doesnt help my setup, so disabling it to save 25 degrees temp nets huge performance boosts. Probably wouldnt work as well for cpu bound people
For some reason it out performs when i lock it to 99%. Temp drops so much it stops thermal throttling which was causing extra latency/hitreg problems
Doesn't this basicly turn off the "Turbo" features of a CPU systemwide, because it can't run at more than 100% anymore? I think 99% mean actual fixed 99% and 100% is 100% and more like 112% etc. if the turbo kicks in. I wouldn't recommend that to anybody tbh. Sure it probably can solve problems, but also reduces performance in moments when you need it the most. But he uses an Intel and that is different than AMD, so hey maybe that helps him. I remember the last time I owned an Intel I had it just permanently run at the same fixed clock speeds, if it's fixed values it's okay to set the power to 99%.
Well or I understood the "Processor Power" option wrong, I never had to use that to solve any problems.
McMacApple looks like a CPU bottleneck. Please download HWiNFO and post a screenshot of your System Summary.

Changing my min processor power to 80 and max to 99 (instead of 100) fixed my cpu problems, idles at 53 instead of 76 degrees in game now. It seems like it manually overrides the games attempts to overload your cpu, even helped my hitreg alot
