5900X overclocking

[simonmarkis]

   Hey guys, wondering if anyone could possibly explain an interesting phenomenon I’m getting. So I’m tweaking with my 5900x, and can’t explain what’s going on. If I run everything at auto, the base clock is at 3.7, boosting to like 4.25 all core. Bla bla everything as expected. But. When I start changing things up (setting core multiplier to 40 and voltage to -0.1). The base speed goes up to 4ghz and just stays there. No boosting or anything. Is that normal behavior or did I stupidly mess something up? Thanks  

Mobo is ASUS strix-e x570

No, that's normal and not the way these cpu's are supposed to be overclocked. 

First of all you need to change all that back to default/auto, 

the only things to change/mess with are the curve optimizer and/or max boost clock override. These are found in 'AMD overclocking' section. for curve optimizer start with negative offset, (5), all cores, and go from there. search for a good tutorial for more info on curve optimizer. 

personally on my 5900 i have all cores at -10 and max boost clock override at +150. stability testing is a bitch though, you might have everything running fine for two days and then youll get a restart at the worst time

best of luck
