Need help and tips for overclocking my Ryzen 5 5600x

[Daniel Gorgievski]

Hello guys, so a few months ago i did a little digging in my BIOS and i touched a couple of settings and made my pc way faster than it was. Today My nephew decided to click load optimized defaults in bios and now i dont remember what the settings were, i tried to do them again but my games are lagging now for some reason , if you guys can help me make my pc faster somehow in BIOS that would be nice. Im bad at overclocking and i really dont remember how i did it last time, i know i overclocked my cpu at 4.6ghz.

 

Cpu: Ryzen 5 5600x

gpu: rtx 3060 Gigabyte

Mb: Asus Tuf b550 Plus

Yesterday i tweaked some settings i enabled Precision Boost overdrive, i enabled Asus Perfromance enhancement and i also made the core clock stay at 46.00. If you guys have some other tips to make my pc faster that would be nice.

just undervolt it. gets performance with less power 

How to do so is here

Thanks for the fast reply. I got a question im not that good at overclocking. Wouldnt me lowering the voltage make my cpu worse? Cause the more power you have the faster the CPU will be or that isnt the case?

Forgot to add. I mostly play Warzone 2 and Valorant so im guessing the games will be fine with undervolting the cpu?

ye ofc. Undervolting doesn't affect stability as much as overclocking

Okay so it will be faster than stock thats good. Thanks for the help!!

thats not how it works. if you lower the VOLTAGE (not power, which is watts) you can push more AMPS through the cpu since its easier to do that (at least thats what i understand from physics lessons)

P = I x V

P = power (watts)

I = Amperes (amps)

V = Voltage 

 

Lets say we have a voltage of 1.1 to start with and an ampere of about 60 Amps 

if we multiply the voltage by the amperes we get 66 watts (margin of error)

if we decrease the voltage by about 0.1 volts for example and get 1 we can raise the amperes by 5 amps

 

this means we can push the electrons through the cpu quicker (less of them, but quicker) this can give us a boost in performance for the same power input and heat output

 

1 x 65 = 65 watts

This is not how it works

The rate of flow of charge

 

Also how does it work (actually interested since I like physics)
