Should I Not Overclock?

[SoCaL081]

I have heard that you shouldn't overclock the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 and that you should tweak PBO instead. Im wondering what should I go with? Right now I have a 4ghz all core overclock with PBO disabled. Im not to familiar with Ryzen so what do you guys think? Heres my hardware:

- AMD Ryzen 7 2700
- ASUS TUF X470-PLUS GAMING
- NZXT Kraken x52 AIO CPU Cooler
- 32GB (16gb x 2) HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 (OC'd to 3466)
- ASUS TUF X3 GTX 1660 Super 6GB
- 1TB WD Black SN750 NVME M.2 SSD
- XFX TS-550 PSU

Doing so won't hurt anything 

Its just pointless because there are almost no performance gains from it 

Enable XFR and pbo and your good for the most part unless you want to do it for fun

My 2700x does 4.1ghz at 1.410v ( on auto no less).

 

Since these 2700 chips can be voltage and heat mongers, you'll have to experiment a bit. 

 

But I think 4ghz is a good clock speed because it's 200mhz faster that the stock all core boost with higher temps at 3.8ghz.

 

The load temps are important. The lower the better.
