PC Overclocking Help

[Dashify]

Hello everyone, I would like to ask for help with overclocking my new PC. I've dabbled in OC but don't know too much just trying to feel the difference between my old parts to new parts.

 

OLD PC Parts- MSI B550M pro vdh wifi, ryzen 5 3600, 2070 Super XC Ultra 8GB

NEW PC Parts- MSI Pro B650-p wifi,  Ryzen 7 7800X3D,   2070 Super XC Ultra 8GB.

 

Any help is accepted, thank you

Overclocking both a 3600 and 7800x3d is mostly useless...

For the 7800x3d enable expo, you can undervolt it a bit, look at tutorials vids, that's all

Forgot to add Barely getting 180FPS and 99% of frames are still 165@ Either resolution I play on. 1920x1080 or 1680x1050

What about GPU also am I stuck at 180fps or is there any way to get a higher FPS? Could you post a link to a tutorial on undervolting.

Here's a mostly general PBO2 tutorial

As for the GPU 180FPS in which game ? CS2 low 1080p or CP2077 RT 4K ? 

2070S is pretty hot at stock, you can maybe undervolt it a bit with Afterburner as well

For undervolting an AM5 chip, go into the BIOS, find the curve optimizer setting (IIRC it's under settings > AMD Overclocking > PBO for MSI boards, though I haven't used one in a while so couldn't say for sure), set the mode to negative, and start increasing that number until you start having random BSODs at idle. Other option is to use Ryzen Master to automatically tune the curve optimizer, there are plenty of tutorials out there for how to do it this way (this isn't guaranteed to work though).

 

As for the GPU, it's usually worth giving an attempt. Install MSI Afterburner, find a benchmark you like to use (I personally use Time Spy, but it's up to you) and get a baseline score. Using MSI Afterburner, increase the power limit to the max, re-run, and note the score. Start increasing the GPU core frequency by 50MHz at a time until either it crashes or performance starts decreasing, then back off and try 25MHz increments, then leave it at the highest working value. Repeat the same thing with memory, but go in 100MHz and 50MHz increments respectively. 

 

You can also undervolt your GPU as that can get you a bit more performance, though that's a bit more finnicky to optimize, so I'd start with this method first.
