I am a seasoned overclocker of a 4770k and 8700k... I just gave up my prize 5.4ghz 8700k system and joined the hype on an x570 5900x. I have an EK custom loop with a velocity block....and man...I cannot figure out how to overclock Ryzen. Have followed about 50 YouTube tutorials and everything results in worse performance...not.only that...my 3090 overclocks worse on this system.
I appreciate there isn't much head room in these chips but overclocking seems way more drawn out even using pbo2!

Am I missing something or is my ram just giving me a bad time. I'm rocking my 3000cl15 from my intel build but have it running at 3200 cl16. It's going to cost about £300 to get anything better...

Help!
 
I guess all core yea - this is what i mean, its a bit confusing - during the 8700k days you had one goal.. to ramp that bad boy up. So i like benchmarking in time spy - during the CPU benchmark I got to 5.148ghz on 3 cores, 5.048ghz on 3 cores, and 4.873 ghz on the remaining 6 cores. That is without much tweaking and using PBO. Thats max clocks - temps peaked at 72C on the hottest core, so not throttling yet. is this good, bad or average?

I hear a 4.75 all core is good? - do i need to be looking at average sustained clocks or max clock? The core clock logged by 3d mark was 5.095ghz
