My overclocking is a joke

[ReadyPlayerOne]

I'm trying to sqeeze my system so i started to overclocking my system

ryzen 2600

asrock b450m

16gb ram

rx 580 nitro @1411 4gb

 

After the overclock i'm a bit disappointed, i'm using this machine just for gaming, and thats what i got

i've made 3 test

1) stock  cpu 3400 (3600 at turbo on all core) ram 2400

2) cpu @4ghz ram 2400mhz

3) cpu@4ghz ram 3000mhz

 

in the attachment you can see the resuls of game benchmark, i don't see any noticable improvement, and i do not understand why

 

i've also done cinebench r20 test that's what i got

stock         2797
overclock @4    3047
4ghz ram 3000   3059

 

 

what's your thought?

 

STOCK

 

cpu@4ghz ram @3000

 

Cpu @4ghz

 

cpu @4ghz ram 3000

 

cpu @4ghz

 

Stock

The RX 580 really isn't that powerful of a GPU, it's just an improved RX 480 which was more of a GTX 970/GTX 1060 competitor from 2016.

 

If you view your cpu usage charts you can see your GPU being utilized completely while the CPU is barely reaching 60%. If you overclock your graphics card further you should see higher gains, or on the inverse remove it to see how much you're gaining from that. Luckily you at least have that option as Pascal/Nvidia overclocking is a joke. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of documentation on Polaris's bios settings and how you can increase voltages, ect. as cryptomining often involved using a modded bios for more efficiency.

Your GPU is holding the CPU back. The RX 580 is quite under powered for a Ryzen 2600. I have a GTX 1070 and used to have a 2600 and my GPU was always maxed out 100% while the cpu sat around 30% utilization.

If you want to bench the cpu and compare overclocks, benchmark with a program that focuses on the CPU and takes the GPU out of the picture.

only 1411MHz OC on an RX 580 is pretty bad, considering how easy it is to get 1450MHz usually out of those things and best samples top 1500MHz. Try overclock its memory.

 

As for the CPU's memory, I suppose they aren't rated for 3000MHz and you haven't adjusted the timings? Rubbish timings will wipe off most of if not all advantages you have with higher memory frequency

Thanks for your replies guys

The ram is rated @3000 with xmp profile, i've tryed to change timings but i think i lost the silicon lottery because they crash if i try to improve it

 

For the gpu if i use it for a while it became pretty hot, it's between 75-80°c while gaming, i dunno if it's a wise move to try to push @1450mhz what do you think?

what model of RX 580 is it?

Maybe a repaste?

Already done

 

I've tryed to OC the gpu it's stable at the same voltage till 1460mhz but the performance gain is just a couple of fps on max fps, avg and min fps are the same, i don't think it worth it

VRAM?

I didn't touch it, i dunno where to start with it

+50MHz at a time

[ReadyPlayerOne]

the voltage can run at stock?

I've done some try, the last one with maxed ram at 2250, but the fps is the same as it is at 2000

all the try was made with the gpu at 1460

you could in theory max out the voltage and power limit but with temperature this high, I'd only raise the power limit

My Rx 580 Nitro+ can't do over 1450mhz and 2225mhz on vram, i know some can run 1500mhz and 2250 on vram but not mine.
