Best tutorial/guide for OC (PBO?) a 5950x?

jtx

Hi guys, receiving my 5950x tomorrow and was wondering what are the best (easiest) guides to OC or PBO it? Thanks in advance!

Specs: 
AMD 9 5950x
ASUS Prime x570-p
32GB RAM 3600mhz
RTX 3080 FE

PBO - Enable it and pray. PBO is notoriously flaky, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Its like the second stage of the silicon lottery.

 

Manual OC - Don't. It will hurt your single core performance MUCH more than it will help with your multi core performance.

Main Rig:-

Ryzen 7 3800X | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | 16GB Team Group Dark Pro 3600Mhz | Corsair MP600 1TB PCIe Gen 4 | Sapphire 5700 XT Pulse | Corsair H115i Platinum | WD Black 1TB | WD Green 4TB | EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W | Asus TUF GT501 | Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144hz HDR FreeSync 2 | Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS |

 

Server:-

Intel NUC running Server 2019 + Synology DSM218+ with 2 x 4TB Toshiba NAS Ready HDDs (RAID0)

PBO is pretty much just a toggle. Enable it in BIOS (more reliable in my experience) or in Ryzen Master and you're done. For my 5600X PBO it makes my CPU go up to 4.65GHz all-core compared to ~4.1-4.2GHz when stock. Single core stays the same at 4.65GHz. It basically behaves the same like "mulitcore enhancement" on Intel boards, bringing the multicore frequency as close as possible to your single core frequency.

 

AutoOC on the other hand can even make your single core clocks higher than out of the box. But no guarantees.

 

I'd stay away from manual OCing, because i can guarantee you won't get up to 4.9GHz all-core. Thus you'll have to set a lower locked frequency and end up with lower single-core performance like @Master Disaster said.

 

Basically for AMD you either run stock, or you enable PBO or AutoOC and let the CPU do the work itself.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Here's the one I used. Hopefully link copies correctly from my phone. 

 

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Why is the 5800x so hot?

Did this work well for you? On my 5800x I just end up at 90°C at 30°C water temperature when I give it edc of 140 amps (which he does with the disabled setting).

Yeah it worked great. Even on a L9I I was able to keep temps off of thermal throttle. I'm a long ways from my computer and can't check settings now though. On my newer D15 I'm much cooler than that. There's some temps in the build log in my signature.

I scimmed the project log. You were mentioning idleing at 39C and 89-90C under load I thought zen3 throttles at 90C? Am I looking at the wrong temps?

 

My idle temps are essentially almost water temperature. I worry about full load.
