February 21, 20224 yr Overclocked both CPU/GPU and tightened Memory timings. Measurable perf increase with no issues. The system is designed to scale up or down as needed so its not in that permanent fixed overclocked state at all times but will go above and beyond if the application or scenario calls for it.

February 21, 20224 yr 8 hours ago, Rob_Ainscough said: Proper chilling of a CPU ... even more so with AMD 5000 series when using PBO can be very beneficial (as are RAM speeds/latency). AMD's love fast RAM and cool temps as PBO will consistently keep the frequency higher. But, I agree that overclocking is not for everyone, you really need to be "involved", however it can make a difference especially if you're trying to reach an FPS threshold to hit a specific monitor refresh rate (60 Hz so 60 FPS with Vsync is common) ... example if your close at 55 FPS, getting that extra 5 FPS from OC can make a big difference as you stay in sync with your monitor and hence fluid sense of motion. Cheers, Rob. Right on the money here. PBO + Curve optimized individual cores plus editing Voltage and Current numbers in order to fine tune for single thread or multi thread performance. Definitely need to do your research know your stuff and limits. When done correctly and tested thoroughly to ensure stability the benefits are tangible. As Rob says its not for everyone but for people who know what they are doing there are gains to be had.

February 22, 20224 yr With my air cooler and my 5600X, PBO is not for me. Actually it drives my CPU temperatures even higher. I got a stable manual clocking at 4.4 GHz, and undervolting to 1.25 V. Result: 10ºC less than with default settings. Maybe with an AIO cooler things will be different. But, since I used to fly in laptops, I learned to find and set the highest stable clock that can get me to the temperatures I like, without triggering any throttle or BSOD at all.

February 22, 20224 yr I found that an OC'd graphics card causes all sort of issues but my overclocked CPU (i5-9600k running at 4.8Ghz) has no issues. Just buy the best card you can and get a decent K series CPU you can get a nice overclock with. Edited February 22, 20224 yr by VBHB Running i5-9600K @ 4.8ghz - 32GB DDR4 3200mhz - GTX 3070.
