Easily and Safely Overclock a Ryzen CPU!!

Today we are going to do a mild overclock on a Ryzen 5 5600 using Ryzen Master and precision boost overdrive. We will configure and test an auto overclock and see if its worth the time. Newer CPUs seem harder to overclock then older CPUs. However using the right tools, its actually pretty easy.

[@EnderMC]

Was prepared and all that stuff because this was uploaded on April 1, turns out it's not another April Fools joke! Jokes aside, thank you for making easy tutorials that's well-explained. I really understood this well. I'll be trying to overclock in another day, Thanks Rich!

[@CyberCPU]

I completely forgot it was April fool's Day. 🤣😂

found a couple sketchy videos on the same topic glad I did some googling before following them. found you a few minutes later. Thank you for this video!

[@SparWiz_Khalifa]

I'd LOVE to see a video of yours talking about Zen 3 Undervolting. I've been going with an undervolt for all cores. But I have heard of undervolts or rather tdp-capping that just set the bar of the total tdp lower. This could be especially advantageous for gaming, as I've heard. However, it seems kind of complicated, and I really dont want to break my 5900x. Hence, I stayed away from that for now.

[@CyberCPU]

That's pretty interesting.

[@Audiosenses69]

I bought a B550M, DDR4 8x2 3600mhz CL18 and a Ryzen 5600 for my girlfriend a few days ago. Waiting for it to arrive, hoping she likes her gift, she has no idea. ;) She's currently running I7-4790K right now. Thanks for the video!

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Unfortunately this dozen work on Ryzen laptops. That sucked how AMD treats their laptop CPUs. It could be much more useful if we can do undervolt and overclock easily but that ain't the case here. Imagine being the hottest CPU available and then not allowing users to configure their setup. That was just absurd to me.

[@CyberCPU]

I wasn't aware that Ryzen Master didn't work on laptops.

[@jokingtiger]

That is because the laptop processors are boosted to the max for the form factor. If you were to attempt to overclock it, you would burn up your laptop because of its limited cooling capacity.

[@goorthiss]

For laptops with processor from AMD, try Universal x86 Tuning Utility, Ryzen Controller and AMD APU Tuning Utility.

[@bautistavazquez6295]

It’s a laptop those things get hot gunk up and go threw thermal paste like crazy they aren’t designed for heat they can be barely properly cooled stock

[@jokingtiger]

Also remember that laptop CPUs are not the same as the desktop variants. They are completely different designs. They have different power limits and different layouts. You should not expect the same performance as a desktop version for any laptop component.

[@PeterParker-n7u]

Your way if explaining is impressive. GREAT for novice and Excellent for people like me.

[@gokust07]

wow, my ryzen 5 5600x went from a score of 9766 to 11348 on cinebench from a 200 mhz overclock! great video!

Yo want settings/how much did you over-clock it about to do it

[@ril5797]

Yes please do a video on under volting CPUand GPU

[@Gassman007]

Limit power and speed mhz of GPU or spu searsh after

[@idan678]

id say its not easy because most cpu comes with sort of overclock from the factory thats why udnervolt is more popular right now

[@Obie327]

Asus x470-i/Zen 3 5600 owner. I took the other extreme and under volted my Ryzen 5600. (75 mv) Runs cool with higher sustained clocks with my Wraith Prism. Thanks for showcasing Ryzen Master CyberCPU Tech. (kinda forgot about the app)

[@HedgehogY2K]

It's interesting @soos's motherboards unlock Bristol Ridge APUs. Lucky me.

[@steve228i]

I agree that undervolting in theory should not be able to damage anything. But my theory is if you don’t manually reduce CLDO VDDP & VDDG_CCD that there can be too large of a voltage detractors that damages the L3 cache over time. And if you are manually controlling the above, the you should also lower VDDG_IOD & VSOC. Most info on these topics is old these days for Ryzen 5000 b/c everyone is onto the new. Would love to take this topic off line. I have two 5959x and a 5600g.

[@J_..._]

I miss the days when one could get massive gains OCing, such as the q6600. Going from 2.4 to 3.6 ghz was fairly easy to achieve on that old beast with good cooling. But I suppose it's good that CPUs are basically reaching near maximum potential out of the box now.

[@CyberCPU]

I agree. However, I do like how fast CPUs are today right out of the box. They may not be as overclockable but they start out fast as hell. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GMCrelan]

overclocking with targeted temperatures tutorial would be great :D

[@TheCarGuru]

So do you recommend using Ryzen Master instead of the ASROCK motherboard bios settings? Meaning - should I turn on PBO via the motherboard BIOS, or only enable it using the Ryzen software? Still tweaking my 7950x to find the best settings. Not a gamer but rather a creator.

[@AngryCalf-yw1wj]

I've been playing with ryzen master a lot myself as I have a prebuilt with a restricted bios, a video on how to overclock the ram in ryzen master would be awesome too

[@Alpha-ms9nj]

Thanks for this video. I'm a first time Ryzen cpu owner and needed good info like this. Also, watched another of your videos on the unattended Windows 11 install on unsupported hardware and worked great on my Dell T3620 with an I5-6500. I appreciate this channel and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@ProgramKiraTV]

Definitely want to see an under volt video. Given some of the AMD voltage issues on motherboards from several months ago I want to be positive I’m getting safe reliable performance even if I might sacrifice a bit of top end speeds.

[@96kylar]

That has been over and done with months ago. In fact it wasn’t even that big of deal , spite what you read where ever.

[@ProgramKiraTV]

@@96kylar it’s a big deal when my money and hardware could be at risk, but also good to know because I never saw a “Fixed!” Video from a source like GamersNexus who originally reported on the issue. Thanks.

[@mikhail21393]

On my 5700x I have 4.5 Ghz Multicore and 4.8 Singlethread with 200 Mhz CPU Boost Override from the BIOS with (B450 Tomahawk Max II) on Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo around 70 ish degrees Max Temps, keep in mind that you have to make a custom WHEA Logger on Event Viewer and also take a note which core crashed by creating a log from CPU-Z so you can undervolt some Core values one at the time when your PC crashes while play GTA V, or use Corecycler to identify which cores are crashing during the test leave it for an hour or two to iron the cores out and then enter your BIOS and slightly lower which core errors out, i.e when your core 7 has value of 30 and crashing your PC lower it about -5 in this case 25 then rinse and repeat if it crashes and depends on which cores are failing during overclock. When I played GTA V I had multiple crashes around an hour or so because I was playing the game in DSR 2.25 4K resolution with my RTX 4070 and I did that on purpose as a stress test to be able to fix some of the issues that I had, also Ubisoft games like Assassins Creed Valhalla/Origins or Watch Dogs 2/Legion are mostly CPU bound when checking utilization with RTSS Overlay and are a good stress test for the CPU overclocking not relying on synthetic benchmarks like Cinebench or Superposition all the time. I use HWInfo for monitoring mostly instead of Ryzen Master PBO Limits PPT 140w TDC 95A EDC 140A Curve Optimizer Core 0 30 Core 1 20 Core 2 30 Core 3 30 Core 4 30 Core 5 25 Core 6 25 Core 7 20 I know it's kinda hard but my system works perfectly fine after this! See for yourself and Tread carefully Cheers

[@DevilbyMoonlight]

Very interesting this one, and have overclocked many cpu's in the past 3 decades but am not sure if there is as much to gain from overclocking modern cpu's like the one in my current laptop the 7945HX these days as they behave like they overclock themselves if they have the power and thermal headroom anyway, but what I found a huge benefit is to undervolt them to keep their temps down, especially with laptop cpu's like the i8750h which run very hot as stock, as preventing the cpu from thermal throttling means it behaves much more consistently as long as there is the thermal headroom, tools that make it easy like throttlestop are a godsend. When I 1st started with older cpu's like the '386 + '486 you over clocked on the bus (with the '386 usually needing a crystal swap) and you had to deal with the bus clock going out of spec on local busses like VESA and PCI causing certain hard drives to corrupt all to easy, unless you knew exactly what you were doing, early pentiums were easy just set the multiplier and also the bus speed if you could get away with it.. Thunderbirds were fun as all it took was a stroke of a pencil to unlock them, the later non ceramic chips like palomino's had the jumpers cut into the substrate with a laser to prevent it, but a dab of superglue to fill the hole allowing you to complete the circuit using the same pencil got around that .. it would be interesting to see your take on undervolting..

[@goorthiss]

Try PTM7950 for processor core, thermal throttling should be less.

[@peterc8622]

Makes me realize that, all things considered and on balance, the 3700X is impressive, with 80W, 4.375GHz all-core, @75ºC. I would recommend under-volting too. Helps achieve these figures. There's no real need for that socket AM4 5800X then 😒😬 happy/sad

[@meyatetana2973]

Honestly I think OC is easier then ever before Now I've only been building my own computer since 89 lol so what do I know about it.

[@TheNorwegianDronePilot]

I do have an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (Non-X) CPU (with CPU Core Ratio: 'AI Enhanced' & OC: 'Curve Optimizer' @ -40 & 'PBO2' @ +200 MHz). And I get about almost the double in score in Cinebench R23 with my current / new computer that I bought early in 2023 to what you get with your computer 🙂. I have a very good 240mm AIO and a case that is pretty ok at cooling. So, I get around 20.500 in multi core score in Cinebench R23.

[@gamingfromjohnwayne]

I got 21000 with my 7 7700 cpu

[@taxiarchis77]

Surely we want an UV video. The more we know the better

[@ThePhilipooh]

Great video! Unfortunately, my mobo Gigabyte B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI don't let me use AMD Ryzen Master, it says that "Overclocking feature is disabled in BIOS." Do you have a solution for that?

[@MarkLowCarb]

Sent you a $ tip ! Not only does it configure the MB for OC, it also FIXES incorrect configurations for your CPU. I updated the MB BIOS to support the 5800X from the 3800X, but I only got 4-cpu 8-cores, Cine score 6780. Now???? 8-cpu 16-cores, Cine score of 13804. However wattage went from 38w to 100+w until max 90c was achieved, then it maintained. Using a Be Quiet 1-fan air cooler, I'll add a fan to do push-pull, a very cheap upgrade. TYVM !!

[@FirasAlmakssosi]

Thank you love all your videos 😊

[@akyhne]

You didn't mention, why you shouldn't use the "Game Mode" profile. It is meant for older games, that only use 1 or a few cores. Using that profile, will disable half your cores, so every t😅ime you want to game, you have to launch Ryzen Master, click and apply the profile, let it reboot and game. And choose another profile, if you want to play any modern game. And the overclocking days aren't over. It depends on the CPU. My Ryzen 9 7900 scored around 23.000 out of the box, and with Ryzen Master, it scored the same as a 7900X, 29.000 So a substantial gain of 26%. I haven't seen such a high overclocking, since I had my Celeron

[@MrBigjimbrown]

How are you seeing the temperature by the clock on the tray of Windows. Thanks for the video, I have wanted to know how to overclock my Ryzen 7 gaming system.

[@bionicjlweber9]

BIOS? You guys had a BIOS? Back in my day we switched around the jumpers on the motherboard. Every CPU was unlocked if you were brave enough.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I got a very cheap Ryzen 5700x. It must be a good bin because it goes out of the box 4.75Ghz all core with curve optimizer at -30. Ryzen Master is easy peasy.

[@FatherhoodAndFitness]

Definitely need an undervolting video!

[@juanmiron2321]

Good lord I ran cinebench and got 14425, but that temperature was sitting at like 90C the whole time! I went and got a fan from the other room and was pointing it at the computer. Think i'm going to need undervolting not overclocking on this 5800x

[@ethimself5064]

Speaking of cooling. About 8 years ago I bought a lenovo ThinkCentre i5 4 core running at 3200 GHh and the 4th core has a turbo boost. Once I got it up and running for some time I had noticed it was rather quiet. At one point I decided just what I could upgrade and downloaded the specs/perhaps a hundred pages. Not much to upgrade although I found out there is no fan, hence the quiet running. Still can't figure out how it runs with no fan(s) Is not a gaming machine although my next one will be.

[@CyberCPU]

It's amazing how fast systems with passive cooling can be sometimes.

[@Cali_Sense]

I'm more interested in undervolting but great video!

[@zulu8891]

I also have an AMD R5-5600 and I have an overclock profile with 4.4Ghz on all cores but with a Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 and it works at about 70-75 C. The thing is that I can't run properly Cinebench R23 single core test. The CPU uses all the cores in almost idle frequencies. Overall with Ryzen Master I peaty much got the same results without problem.

I have a 5600G, but I have an RX6600 for the GPU. Would it be worth it to try overclocking this CPU? I see yours is the "X" variant, so I wasn't sure how much different the results might be with yours vs the 5600G.

[@morometegaming]

I used Ryzen Master to do some tweaking for my Ryzen 7 5800 oem. I got bigger scores than others with their 5800x. One of the best cpus i ever owned and it’s from a prebuilt. Nice video btw

[@Knards]

Ryzen Master doesn't work if you have vitalization enabled, so you may want to turn that off to do this

[@nadz_OG]

not really sure how but I managed to get a score 200 points lower with this OC...

[@CyberCPU]

Could be a bunch of different factors. Memory speed, motherboard, possibly even memory capacity. Could even be margin of error.

[@nadz_OG]

@@CyberCPU yeah I just thought it was funny. I don’t really NEED it to be better just wanted to see if I’d get more out of it

[@acupofsoda3397]

This is really odd. I got a 11204 score with my 5600G that wasn't even boosting above its base clock speed. I just set PBO curve optimizer to all core negative 30 and set voltage to 1.34V which was lower than the usual. The 5600G is wayy weaker than 5600. Its like a 5500 with an APU.

[@AlienInSider]

I don't know what your configuration is, but this processor should be better than my 5600G... And Cinebench shows the opposite... My results are 10400 clean... 11000 boost...

[@orgrimdoomhammer2161]

i use only PBO and get 4.45GHz, aircooler, 80W power and 68C max temp

[@CGNnoMoneyGang]

The best way to "overclock" these days is AI-OVERCLOCKING. (if your manufacturer offers it, of course) R9 7950X + ROG STRIX X670E-E = 38092 CB23 points With the "simple" PBO options, I can't get above 37000. ASUS has done a really great job with the AI-OVERCLOCKING options.

[@realkingofoldschool]

Once the overclock is applied do you have to hit the apply button? because i didnt see you hit it? and do we turn on that option in settings before or after the overclock? im guessing after?

[@maurohos]

Depois de aplicado e testado ele fica permanente até reverter (reset) no Ryzen master.

[@buggerlugz6753]

honestly, doing this with a stock cooler is totally pointless IMHO. Certainly if using a spire cooler (which comes even with some x model Ryzen CPU's) you'll not get anything like 80% out of them (out the box) and the fan will be increasing and decreasing speed permanently.
