Overclocking for a novice

[skilja]

Hello, 

 

I'm new to overclocking and I'm interested in learning any good guides that start from 0 for new people? 

 

End goal: To set manual overclock on workstation (3D rendering) PCs so colleagues don't feel the need to turn on Ryzen Master every time they start their PCs.

Dont bother with cpu oc (anything over 9th gen intel)

 

full specs? Cant really give an accurate reccomendation when theres no specs

Most of the systems are Ryzen (2700x, 3700x, 3900x, 5900x, 5950x), motherboards are mostly B550 tomahawks, with two x470-f. Ram is usually 16GB 3200-3600MHz.

The 2700X may OC. The 3000 series, the best you're going to get is just enabling PBO and getting a slight boost. For 5000 series, it's PBO with the curve optimizer to do a per core undervolt.

 

That said, you should never really mess with workstations, i.e. computers you need to get real work done on. Stability is paramount for a workhorse PC and *any* form of OC or deviation from stock introduces instability.
