Is Overclocking dead in 7000 series?

I have just replaced my 5950x with a 7900x and it seems there is nothing to do as in overclocking as it boosted to 5.2ghz all core(88c) and 5.7ghz single core automatically, I was having a look in the bios and even though everything is on auto it seems everything is boosting as it should and there is nothing to play with
 
You can play with PBO and thermal limits :)

Overclocking days are pretty much a waste not worth it for everyday use they are pushed high out of the box with not much headroom

You can look at undervolting

Personally would tweak to reduce power / temps while matching or slightly beating stock performance

Got any hints for settings to use
 
There is plenty of tuning to do, check out the skatter bencher videos. More performance to be gained with PBO and curve optimiser.
 
Compared to the old days it's still there but in a different form. It's more about adjusting the limits and even undervolting since these chips are already so close to the limits.
