MSI x870 Godlike PBO 9950x3d 5.9GHz??

I enabled gameboost in the bios and I ran a cinebench test. I noticed that core 12 and core 10 reached a max of 5.919 MHz. Also, core 13 reached 5.894 MHz as well. I've been trying to recreate this peak but I can't. what does this mean? was it just a temporary rare spike or a bug in the monitoring software?(im using HWMonitor) Im new to messing around with PBO settings.

it's possible, maybe the PC/AIO was cold enough to push almost 6Ghz before the average temps didn't allow it anymore, or it's just HWMonitor displaying sensors wrong

Yeah. im guessing it was probally a bug. I just read a post from 10 hours ago about someone's 7800x3d turboing to 7500MHz. They were using HWmonitor as well. I should probably avoid HWmonitor from now on.

Also i wouldn't recommend "gameboost" or similar as manufacturers often use unsafe settings for those and your hardware burns out faster possibly.

Yeah that's generally not how it works, if amd says e.g. 5.1ghz, they mean that, maybe it'll go 5.2ghz but that's it.  

Also clock stretching is a thing it's generally better to go for sustained boost rather than high single spikes.

yes, apparently game boost ups both clocks and voltage, especially default clocks so the CPU might on average clock faster more often than it doesn't need to (which isn't as bad, as the voltage increase can be)

CPU monitoring softwares are never fully accurate due to the CPU jumping between C states and perhaps the clock monitoring MSRs could glitch out too.

 

I am not sure about PBO. Does it not specify till what frequency it can boost to or something?

Microsoft owns my soul.

 

Also, Dell is evil, but HP kinda nice.

I guess I'll just leave it at stock settings for now. PBO enhanced 3 seemed to give me a better sustained clock speed at lower temps (mid 80s). voltages would peak at 1.363v - 248W while gameboost would peak at 1.419v - 260W and reach up to 92c. How safe is that?

Temps will almost always be safe, but voltage is slightly different.
