I would get whichever is cheaper. 1080ti is pretty hard to find a fair deal on. Also consider the 5700 XT.

FYI, pl1 and 2 should be maxed but LLC I would leave auto or in the middle. When you put LLC maxed out it can seriously overvolt the CPU. But I'm happy you found the settings, enjoy!

Nope, these newer CPUs have very similar power limit options. Different motherboard vendors put the options under different names. Usually under the overclocking options inside a separate menu called "Powermizer Allpower" or something dumb like that. If you can't kind it try googling your motherboard, it's likely staring right at you.

Then it's not a 5 GHz overclock Make sure you are doing an all core overclock. Make sure you have power limits maxed out.

My first response I said increase the voltage by 0.02. Small amounts. Yes vcore. Leave ram alone for now, including xmp. Xmp is technically an overclock, turn that on after you're sure your CPU is good to go.

Trying to find that max overclock can take some time. You might seem perfectly stable in a stress test, but not a video game. That does happen, but the fact remains if the crashing goes away without the overclock then it's not stable. I encountered this pretty recently with my CPU, I was able to pass an hour of Intel burn test, but GTA V was still crashing. I fixed it by adding a touch more voltage. In my case, 1.26v was able to get by on a stress test but 1.28v is what GTA V needed. Sure, I could have just gone straight to 1.4v and it would have been stable from the get-go, but finding the right amount of voltage for an overclock you intend to use 24/7 is worth the effort.

Do you hear any beeping or lights flashing on the motherboard? There is probably an issue the motherboard is trying to tell you, take a look in your manual. If I had to make some random (typical) guesses I would say the one of your RAM sticks is not in all the way or you have you RAM in the wrong slots. Maybe also a bad CPU cooler mount, or a power cable is not in all the way.

First I think you need to test your ram overclock separate from your CPU overclock. Doesn't make sense to just start increasing voltage at random, figure out what is unstable first.

I know you didn't mean what you said, but I still feel the need to point out that you don't put RAM into a PCI slot. It's also very unlikely that you have a PCI slot now a days.

Try slightly more than what you use now (0.02v at a time is a good method), and slowly increase until it's stable. It's not proper practice to just shoot the voltage up and potentially add unnecessary heat.

More voltage.

Lol I didn't say algorithms! Why is that in quotations @DildorTheDecent ? I said instructions. R20 uses newer AVX instruction sets, which can change how a CPU boost. What a strange assumption you made here.

His screenshot does show one core being used for r20, one active core at 4.2. Three other cores at 300 mhz, likely for Windows and such. You can't be seriously suggesting that AMD's boost rating is based on taskmanager affinity and disabling cores. I understand those things are useful for testing, but AMD can't be expecting people to do that.

I might have seen a different Zen 2 CPU in FC5. I didn't realize the full scope of the mission here Tarvaln. Carry on soldier.

I would try a different benchmark, I think Cinbench r20 uses instructions that could prevent a higher boost. I also think that top single core boost may only show itself under lower load, like a game. Maybe try r15 and/or a GPU limited game. Or even just try video playback in a media player. Unfortunately you kinda need all the stars to align to get that top single core boost to show up. But I've seen it in reviews for games, pretty sure Far Cry 5 bench can do it for example.
