Overclocking Ryzen CPU. Noob here

[KhaderKh]

Hi,

 

I moved from intel to AMD for the first time after 7 intel CPUs.

Overclocking intel is straight forward but ryzen is a different story.

 

What i did is i overclocked my ram from 3200mhz to 3400mhz, I have 4 x 8GB corsair vengeance.

 

I OCed my 5600x using AMD master utility as per the photos, its stable. Should i do anything in bios? Or master utility enough?

 

Is the voltage safe? What is max safe voltage?

 

Is 4.6ghz all cores good enough?

You don't want to OC Ryzen, especially with Zen 3. Precision Boost is highly effective and will always perform better than a manual OC as long as you give it the power and thermal headroom to do so. Zen 3 now has what's called the curve optimizer, which among other things, lets you apply a dynamic undervolt across the frequency curve. In other words, you get higher frequencies at lower voltages, which means less heat, and also more room to boost higher. An all-core OC caps your single core boost, resulting in less performance, not more.

You can overclock Ryzen based on load. You can set amperage limits such that you have a higher OC on some cores until you reach the preset limit, then the OC drops to the predetermined value that you set. I think Der8auer has a video on it. I don't know if all motherboards support it. In essence - you can raise all-core turbo while still retaining high single core turbo.

But I do agree. Capping the 5600x at 4.6 is probably tanking its relative performance by at least 7-8%. Since it can do 4.9 or sth on single. It does require quite a lot of knowledge to OC properly.. If this guy needs multi-core, he's done a good job. Most 5600x can do 4.6 reliably, some even 4.7

Tbh the limit for dailying a 7nm ryzen is around 1.4-1.45v so you could prob go 5ghz but at that point you are entering the realm of diminishing returns, just clock your cpu as high as it will go on 1.26 or 1.27v cause youll know when you reach the diminishing returns zone when your cpu needs way more voltage than before to increase the freq
