Great stuff, as always, Buildzoid! I had already translated this over from your video with the 3950X and Gigabyte X570 Aorus Extreme. I have a 3700X and Asus X570 Crosshair VIII Hero and it did squeeze a little bit more out of it. For memory I have a 16 Gb 4000MHz Teamgroup kit that I've clocked down to 3600MHz as well. Thaiphoon Burner says that it's Samsung B-die, so I went ahead and tightened up the timings using the Ryzen D-RAM calculator "fast" settings. It's been running this way since whenever the other video was published without any hiccups whatsoever. I'll have to run the benchmarks again to see what my scrores are again. The one score I kind of remember is CB R20 being just over 5,000. It's probably worth mentioning that my CPU is liquid cooled by a custom loop.

Asus Crosshair VI owner here. I've used the +200 offset for the past couple of weeks along with power limit increases on my 3600. It shows boost to 4.35ghz, which it goes to quite often even on fairly heavy cinema4d rendering workloads. Performance is quite a bit better gaming, but i'm pretty unsure of the results since there was the clockspeed bug not too long ago. Will have to do more testing at stock.

[@soulshinobi]

Max CPU Boost Clock Override did work for me on my Asus Prime B350-Plus with 2600X, I found 125MHz to be the sweet spot. Pretty minor change as you might expect. I guess I'll try the Scalar now, I had heard that's the one that does nothing. I'm not touching those power limits with this board's VRM though. UPDATE: After 30 runs I found the Scaler more beneficial than the Boost Clock Override, and the benefits don't stack (no benefit from changing both for me). Best performance I got was Boost Clock on Auto and Scaler on 8x. Only tests I ran were a CS:GO benchmark and Cinebench R20, the only time I ever got CS:GO to score above 250fps was with the scaler on 7x and 8x.

[@piotricz]

Max boost clock overrride absolutely works -- on a 3600, and on that only -- because the boost algorithm is artificially capped there at 4200. Giving it +200 effectively makes it into a 3600X, and you see 4400 in single core boost.

[@maker7901]

the pbo scalar does work if you put it to 10x and put 200mhz on the boost override and set the edc to 1 to 10 it will allow the cpu to boost alot. depending if it can hit the extra 200mhz if anything it would hit about 125mhz extra boost or 150mhz.

Hey buildzoid, i have a question regarding overclocking. Now, i have a problem with my setup. I utilize a heavy overkill Open loop (x1 240mm, x1 280mm*45mm wide, x1 360mm radiator) together with an Asus crosshair 7 ( another overkill, yes i know). Now while i know how good the temps are and i know the voltage supply from the motherboard is not going to be a problem i am trying to literally break the wall limit with this CPU (AMD R5 2600) and i am canibalizing it for real. I spend yesterday (3/2/2020), more than 4 Hours trying to find the fine line of maximum clocks and reliability. Sadly while the temps are way too cool * max 74C at 155W and 100Amps current i cant get a stable 4.3+++ GHz all Core with static voltage OC 1.47++V. I run Cinebench R15 and i also see sometimes with some luck a completed rendering but without any extra Rating point at 4.35GHz compared to 4.3 for example. The maximum achieved possible rating was 1481 all core Cinebench R15. I did run prime95 but seems that cores are going off after 5 minutes and seems more unstable in comparison with Cinebench.. It seems like the thermals are not the problem here, the CPU could go 80C+ at 4.4 GHz but physical (inner Resistance, Transistor amount, i dont even know what to think) seems like impossible! I am trying to counter it with more voltage but it ain happen! I the maximum voltage i tryied was up to 1.49V. I do run my mem Setting 3400Mhz 14-14-14-28. * Gskill Trident Z 2x8GB - I dont know if they are Samsung/Micron dies or whatever.. Now, the reason why i push that much.. well, i invested heavily in a cooling solution (long term usage will pay back) but also on my graphics card. I own a beast 2080ti which works also with the water loop. But playing some games (actual example AC origins in 4K) the processor bottlenecks so hard on some places that i see an average GPU Core Usage value of 73%ish and i cant even exceed the 40 frames per second! That sucks!!! I tryied to change that with even more OC but it ain getting there. I regret not buying the 8700K afterall.. and investing every year in AM4 Platform to reach sometime the Intel capabilities in single core or even all core is also meh, since i will reach the 8700K costs and still being slower. Any suggestions what can i do? With regards, a filthy casual

After watching the breakdown of the motherboard you done a year back, you was talking about the Daisy Chain design, so i looked at the slots i had put the ram in 1&3, so i just moved them to 2&4 :-( XMP now runs @3800mhz stable at 1.38v with a fast timing setup :p i did have it running at 3866mhz but i didn't want to push my luck just yet :D

Use the Ryzen Balanced Power Plan. It's configured to let 3000 gen Ryzen to respond in 1ms I believe. The plan will set your CPU minimum processor state to 99% and max to 100%. That's what is recommend by AMD, and by 1usmus himself after a windows update a while ago. If you use windows balanced power plan your temps might lower at idle but your CPU will only be able to respond every 15ms and not 1ms. So for best performance use Ryzen Balanced Power profile. My temps are fine with it too. EDIT: I'm using a 3700x and I also use a custom fan profile in my ASUS X570 Gaming-F bios and AMD wraith prism cooler. My country gets very very hot.

Cpu boost override helps with single core workload. I’ve gotten an extra 150mhz single core from only that setting. If your cpu has the silicon to go above it’s rated boost then the “override” takes effect

[@trentenr7255]

It doesn’t however auto boost. Just gives it more headroom

Great vid. Question: I recently installed 3600MHz C14 RAM. When i run a userbenchmark test, my ram is performing "below expectations". Is that a reliable test? CPU-Z, Ryzen Master and BIOS DOCP all say its 3600MHz with the correct cas latency timings 14-14-14-34 @ 1.45V.... R7 3700x (pre-built computer btw)

@Actually Hardcore Overclocking I have R9 3950X on Asus Prime X370 - Pro motherboard (cooler Noctua NH-U12A). I used to use PBO with manual setting enabled (unfortunately I did it before you published your guide and I set scalar to 10x, max boost to 200MHz and I left rest of the settings to auto - I know options I changed are meaningless according to your guide but they unlocked power limits as well) and I observed that CPU is able to keep much higher frequency than stock (3.8-4.0GHz vs 3.2GHz) when runing Prime 95 with custom settings 128k-128k. During mentioned Prime test with PBO enabled CPU was producing more than 220W of heat (according to HwINFO64). CPU on stock produces ~140W. After few minutes computer turned off (temperature on CPU was below 80C). Now I wonder what caused this unexpected shut down - VRM overheating? Is my mobo capable of handling R9 3950X with PBO enabled? Do you think there is any sense to check system stability with Prime 95 AVX2 enabled and small sample set (128-128k produces enormous amount of heat...)? I would be gratefull for your response.

Hi

[@Dynasty1818]

Upgraded to a 3700x on a Hero 7 mobo so yeah, tinkering tonight it seems.

[@JCFranco]

I just upgraded to a X570 Hero too. I will be doing the same.

[@benderrodriguez6343]

@@JCFranco I'm very curious how you do I nearly did a CH7 with my 3900x

[@seanrobertson3833]

@@benderrodriguez6343 I did a 3900x on a CH7 before upgrading to a CH8. For the first few weeks until a new bios I noticed higher performance on Cinebench and better temps with the X470.

[@Danko_HS]

Nice PCH FAN RPM. That looks like a great mb. And i thought my Prime Pro's fan that runs at 2000 RPM is terrible. I feel better now :)

[@Fezzy976]

hes using an itx board that has the pch fan cooling BOTH the vrm and the chipset. x570 chipset runs hot anyway, my crosshair 8 hero x570 pch fan runs at like 2500-3000rpm and the chipset sits around 40-60C i have seen upwards of 68C but I am running a PCIE4 Nvme drive so its pushing the chipset a bit.

[@broklond]

I've set max boost override to +200 MHz on an asus prime x470 pro with an r5 3600 and in single core/lightly threaded applications it did boost up to 4.4 GHz instead of just 4.2. So it absolutely does something

[@rayray00204]

Yes, but don't manually adjust the core ratio. Just put it auto.

[@alexstreamsgames5075]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS CHAMP, I ONLY LISTEN TO YOUR ADVICE AND GN. I GOT A X570 TUF AND 3700X DDR4 3600 GSKILL. SHOULD I USE PBO ON STOCK COOLER? IS IT WORTH THE TROUBLE FOR GAMING? I HAVE 2080 SUPER.

[@NightOwlGames]

how do you change how the bios looks? mine looks like crap yours is very clear!

[@surpriseblueviana3803]

You have a plan to make this testing and ram in x570 Msi boards ?

[@porklaser]

Tutorial for MSI motherboards? (Or was there one already done?)

[@xkillerpn]

Can we apply this settings on a x370 gaming pro carbon for a 3900x? On my 1600 with 1.4v it's always at 50c on the vrm . Really want to upgrade to a 3900x just afraid of toasting the board lol

[@berated4541]

About the same results. +200 on cinebench. But squeezing more performance increased my bang for the buck thank you.

[@Kraxt0n]

question will the msi b450I gaming plus ac motherboard handle those new 3000 chips while overclocking? i do have the 1600af at 4.1ghz 1.32volts llv4. also got some hyperx 3466 ram today RAN OUT THE BOX ill add with xmp pro 1. but yeah at you master >!!

[@biteme263]

300/230/230 is the same settings for a 3900x. For the clock over boost thingy you are right, some chips and boards it works and others it doesn't. On my 3600 on a b450 tomahawk it worked. I got it to boost to around 4.4 under lighter loads. If you hammer all six cores though they only boost to like 4.1. With my 3900x on an auros elite wifi it has no effect that I could tell.

[@valerirebonen150]

Did you use the same settings as in video for your 3600? I have 3600x and I wonder if I can use this guide and apply it to 3600x

[@Chrisuu]

Just a quiky if you think the CPU draw to much voltage why would you leave it on auto? Is there any specific reason for that?

[@foltarz8469]

I found with my X570 MEG ACE with a 3900x and found using the settings that you showed a worse score than with it set at auto I'm not sure why this was but the MSI I think will be a interesting video

[@cgsather3309]

Just built a pc with 3800x and Asus x570 tuf, per BZ’s rec. Just tried these settings, got 5,940 on C20. Question is what to do w AMD Ryzen Master, leave alone? Do the bios settings override the RM settings or do I need to adjust anything?

[@shrek7428]

Question though, I have an gigabyte x570 elite with a 3700x, is it normal for it to be at 1.4v? Should I set the CPU vcore to auto or set it to 1.325?

[@giorgiogalli6176]

Sorry if I ask here do you think an asrock b450 pro 4 can handle a new Ryzen 3000 with more than 8 core without overclock? I cooled the vrm with a fan right now since I'm operating a 2700x lightly overclocked.

[@3isr3g3n]

Strange, i rebooted about 40 times in the course of one afternoon, OCing my Corsair 3600 cl 18 RAM, and my OS didn't care one bit. Thanks Buildzoid, i'm gonna backup before i do that the next time.

[@davidlee3203]

does this work when manually oc 3700x to 4.4 ghz i mean by changing the power limit with a manual oc is it possible or do u need to keep it stock to do this

[@sudo3644]

Can you please also do a video for MSI mobos? 🙏

[@letmikesmash5690]

so my 3700x on a crosshair 7 with 32gb of 3200mhz cl14 ram is scoring around 4900 on cinebench r20, was curious if there is a much a difference if i just set pbo to enabled or manual like you have shown.

[@GnarlySpookXT]

you think changing these powere limits will work for ryzen 5000?

[@rash3382]

Dude, my score in cinebench tops at 4750-4800 range on a dark rock 4 pro cooler, and cpu heats up to 82 C during the test. Is it just because of cheap 3466 memory in my setup or it's just poor heat dissipation in my case and it just throttles?

[@willyandrejacobsenvinje6465]

I did use aisuite 5way preformance and got 5004 pts i Cinebench r20 with the stock cooler on the ryzen 3700x chip.

[@eyecraved]

What bios version are you using and will this work on older ones like abba version?

[@ActuallyHardcoreOverclocking]

ABBA might even boost higher than 1004B

[@SumeetSingh001]

I am getting random reboots with following the steps that are mentioned, what can I do to fix it? there are no error logs, so I am not sure whether DRAM XMP failed or PBO failed

[@odetas9597]

On an R5 3600 Max CPU boost clock override did give me +200 mhz on an Asus B450M which translated to a 4.4 Ghz. On my next board Gigabyte B450 AorusM, there is not a mhz adder and on the same CPU was limited to 4.2 Ghz
