I'm not having much luck overclocking the 5900x on the B550 Tomahawk. The stock config is better than what I can get when overclocking so wondering if it's worth getting a x570 instead.
Stock:
5900x boosts to 4.7ghz, doesn't get very hot under CB23, seems to be quite comfortable ticking away. max 83c.
Overclocking:
Best I can get is 4.4/4.5 but it hits 90c about 4 mins into the 10 min run. Recently installed, so thermal paste is fine. When pushing 4.5 on the BIOS multi, the multi shows in red which makes me think it's a board limit - I also don't have curve optimizer.
BIOS
Multi = x45
vCore = 1.3
Offset @ +0.0250
LLC = Level 4
PBO = Advanced / Motherboard limitations
Looking at the following:
MSI x570 Gaming Pro
Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite
Gigabyte x570 Aorus pro
MSI MAG x570 Tomahawk
