Wait

In the meantime, I started messing with Ryzen Master for overclocking my CPU... (Ryzen 7 5800X) Defaults had me boosting to 4750MHz. PBO had it boosting to 4850MHz. Auto-overclock has it going to 4950MHz.

 

Always stable, always maxing out at 90°c due to my CPU cooler. It's thermal limiting because 90°c is my target temp, so PBO will lower clocks and voltage when it gets close. For single threaded or burst operation, it gets to the 4950MHz target, (always well below the thermal target) but in an all-core workload, it depends on the workload. For a small instruction set, it gets up to 4250MHz, but with large instructions it goes higher at 4450MHz.

 

Overclocking has improved performance in bursty low-core-usage workloads significantly, but hasn't affected all-core or maximum-use performance at all. This is how it should be, and should improve gaming performance slightly.

 

[EDIT] This beats out my 3600 in every way. It got reduced performance or unchanged performance no matter the settings in Ryzen Master. I got bottom of the barrel early-adopter silicon for it, but at least it was cheap. I very much prefer this "binned" mature silicon I'm using now.
