Best results will be had from your chip by utilizing PBO2 overclocking options, maxed out power limiters and +200mhz PBO settings will give you the best performance on Zen 3. A little extra performance to be had by tuning with a negative curve optimizer offset, all of this should be set in the BIOS though. After that focusing on memory/fclk and tuning timings will give you much better gaming performance.

Test out the above settings I suggested with something like a -10 all core CO offset and see how you chip is boosting, if everything looks good I can assist in memory tuning, but I will need info on your memory config and what ICs your memory is using. Thaiphoon Burner is generally a good tool for this

ah thanks dude, ill try that stuff today when im home. also another question ahah, is it okay for the tdc to be so high cos during cinebench ive seen it go up to 140% and i dont know enough to know if thats safe or not. thanks!

TDC being high doesn't necessarily mean that your chip is actually pushing 140% of its typical amperage except under the most intensive scenarios like P95 small ffts, I'd say you're gonna be hovering around 100A at 1.25v (aka 125w) for your nominal max power draw unless you're under a good AIO or custom loop.
