Hi there, I bought the below system from PC Specialist around 18 months ago when 3090's were near on impossible to get on their own. Looking to tweak the settings for the CPU and Memory.

Ryzen 5950X
Asus TUF Gaming X570-PLUS
32GB Corsair CM4X16GC3000C154







 
You could start by enabling xmp your ram is running jedec ie slow mode
Thanks been a while since I did any overclocking :p Started with a KS2-400 with jumpers, Athlon 700 with goldfinger device and then pencil mods on the socket versions, phase cooled Pentium 2, E6300 @ 200% clock speed through to i7 6700k overclocked but haven't tweaked for ages :D

Memory settings make sense now, they were already set to DOCP which is Asus version of XMP but had to manually set the frequency and timings for some reason. 15% quicker in Timespy now ;) Didn't really matter with the 3090 but I have temporarily downgranded to a 1080Ti so wanted to have a play around again :)

What's next after memory settings on the 5950X?

You can enbale PBO and call it a day or you can mess around with PBO2 (curve optimizer) for a bit more performance.

 
Excellent, thank you. Memory speed changes gave a 15% boost and an additional 5% on top enabling PBO (TimeSpy CPU score). Happy with that, just need a 4000 series GPU now :D
