So I recently upgraded my PC and the specs are as follow:
Aorus Elite x570 wifi
Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 2x8 DDR4 3600MHz
Ryzen 7 3700x
Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT
Samsung Evo 970 m.2 (Windows OS and game installed)
Samsung Evo 850 (PUBG installed)
WD HDD
EVGA G2 750W
I've read a lot of posts about OCing and how it's not entirely worth it (at least for gaming) and decided to use stock options. However, after doing a bit more research it seems that people suggest to enable PBO and use Auto OC from Ryzen Master so that single core games (which is what I mostly play) can benefit from this.
So I went on to enable PBO and use Auto OC and I can see my processor going up to 4.2~4.4 GHz. However, my problem is with Ryzen Master. I know that Ryzen Master was originally intended to just try out your OCing settings and then put them in the BIOS, which is what I would love to do in my case. I don't want to keep restarting my computer after booting it up to apply Auto OC profile on Ryzen Master. As someone who has very basic knowledge on OCing, could anyone be able to help on what settings I'm supposed to move in the BIOS to make it the Auto OC profile that's on Ryzen Master?
Any help is appreciated, and thank you!

Overclock workflow was:
-
Open Ryzen Master and create a new Max OC profile.
-
Include and Set control mode to Manual for CPU.
-
Include and set Cores Section to mirror speeds of core 0. Speed set to 4.4 Ghz initially.
-
Include and set Voltage Control to 1.4 V initially.
-
Press apply and test.
-
If test passes, perform a CPU-Z benchmark to confirm there are actual gains.
-
Repeat with 25 Mhz CPU OC increment. As soon as a test fails, increase voltage by 0.025 V.
Note: I understand this is a very basic way to test. But today I was just curious to see what OC I can hit with some form of stability. I will be performing more extensive stability tests later. The final OC was stress tested on CPU-Z for 30+ minutes with no issues though. This is the first time I OC the desktop.
---------------------------------------------------------- Important Question ----------------------------------------------------------
What are the expected temperatures for this CPU running the CPU-Z stress test at 4.4 Ghz OC @ 1.4v for 15 minutes? My cooling setup is a MasterCooler MasterLiquid 240L and all benchmarks/stress tests are done with fans running at 100%. Any contributions to this question will be greatly appreciated since I'm not sure if the 240L is performing as it should.
Here are my results so far with running CPU-Z stress test at different voltages and frequencies for 30+ minutes, room temp at ~ 60 °F:
-
4.4 Ghz at 1.4 V: 73 °C
-
4.575 Ghz at 1.4 V: 76 °C
-
4.2 Ghz at 1.4 V: 71 °C
-
4.2 Ghz at 1.2V: 57 °C - For those who don't want to run their CPU at 1.4 V (even though its still operating within spec).
-
Precision Overboost enabled from Ryzen Master, 4.150 Ghz at 1.37 V: 70 °C (I kinda expected it to be better than a manual overclock, but it's not, more than likely due to some underlying reasons regarding stability).

Less than one month old.
Fun fact: With a manual OC at 4.4 Ghz and 1.4 V, I ran a Prime 95 torture test. Instantly hit 94 °C and 150 W of CPU power, freaked out, but let it run for a few more seconds out of curiosity to see if the cooler can sustain the temp. It slowly rose and hit 95 °C within seconds. Never used Prime 95 before and would have fried my CPU if I was unsuspecting and wasn't watching the temp and power readings.
By safe OC, I mean I don't want to push it to the limits. I want it to run cool, stable, and get good clock speeds. I have a katana 5 tower cooler "cheap not very good. But I assume it's better than stock one."
Should I bother changing the clock speed and voltage or just let them stay at stock speeds?
MOBO "MSI B450-A Pro Max" again, nothing fancy here.
Is it possible to clock it to 4.4 GHZ and stay safe with what I currently have? Or should I fix it to something like 4.2 or 4.0 and give, I don't know low voltage that can handle that and stay cool at the same time?
you might already noticed that I'm not very good at oc'ing and stuff. but any help is appreciated. I currently have 1600x which was running 90+ degrees on stock settings. That's why I fixed that CPU's clock speed to 3.6 with a low voltage, and I'm basically getting more or less the same performance but my CPU is staying nice and cool at 50-60 degrees at max. This is what I'm after.
Hi everyone. Built a new PC, please feel free to check out specs below and comment. My question is this...
Should i overclock using auto-overclock on Ryzen Master or should i do it manually?
If you think i should do it manually, should i do it on the software or set it up on the BIOS in the ASUS motherboard?
Please know that i have ZERO experience/knowledge on proper overclocking which is why i am currently using the auto-overclocking feature in Ryzen Master. Thanks!

With Zen 2 CPUs it is in general better to use PBO rather than to manually OC since you are unlikely to be able to manually OC these CPUs beyond their single core boost clock speeds. The only exceptions to this are the 3100, 3300X and 3600.
Simply put?
You don't, just let the machine do its job.
Just wondering if if im going the right direction Build specs below. Been playing around overclocking, learning as I go with lots of trial and error. So far best results ive gotten in cinebench. Posted settings i have in Ryzen Master. Mainly for gaming and streaming from the same system.
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
GPU: MSI Mech OC AMD 5700xt
Ram: Corsair vengeance pro 3200 2 x16gb..32gb total Yes rgb lol
Motherboard: ROG B-550 non wifi
Power: Corsair RM750 gold +
NZXT z63 AIO for CPU
CASE: NZXT H510 Elite.
2 STICKERS: for those extra cuda ram processor speeds.
