Ryzen 5000 series overclocking guide

That’s great. I really have a dud processor. I think I will swap it out first chance I get.
 
decided to mess around with my main desktop, 5950x fclk 1900

10 hours prime stable

Nice r23 multi, CyanBlues!


I finally picked up a 5900x. I ebayed my 3700x and it sold in about 25 minutes for $210 (buy it now) in the clam shell. No doubt I'll ebay the 5900x and get the mega cache refresh unless the substrate shortage (or something else) doesn't totally screw availability at msrp.

FMAX@200 everything else at auto, no other oc except memory tuning to the same settings I used with the 3700x. edit: I also set llc to 3.

I opened hwinfo at the end and ran p95 for a bit just to show power limits and boosting targets. Nearly silent at those default power limits using a True Spirit 140 Power with ht-2.

There is a tight deal on the 5950X. Wondering if I should attempt to nab it? Wdygt?

Will be maybe $700 landed to me.
 
17 or so years later, my HTPC motherboard died so it got my 8700k and I'm back with AMD. 5800X and barely touched anything overclocky yet, apart from getting my DDR4-3200 CL14 B-die up to 3600 CL16. Lot to read through here, I guess!

I'm still being thrown by the BIOS being totally alien to what I'm used to, with more acronyms being thrown at me than a lot of throws of something. Hell, even XMP has disappeared and some weird DOCP thingy is in its place :runaway:

Yeah, going from Intel to AMD BIOS requires an education. :bleh:
 
So there's a 5900X in stock at my local microcenter for $529. Worth upgrading over my 3900X? Thinking it may give my RTX 3090 some more room.

Not with V-Cache chips coming out soon. I'd wait. $529 isn't a spectacular deal for a 12c chip. If it was $400-450, I'd say jump on it.

At 3440x1440 you're still hitting CPU limits on lots of games. It's not a hard resolution to run. I hit CPU limits at 3840x1600 w/ a 3080TI. Really, though, it depends on the games you play.

I'd say pass. If you see any overall FPS improvements at your resolution it would be minimal at best.
