Help Any Overclocking Experts out there?

[bingjalz]

Tanong lang mga master kung possible ba or any other way to push OC beyond PBO limits and have CO at the same time?

Specs
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
Mobo: MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI
Cooler: Peerless Assassin 120SE

Ganito po ang case ko, Gumamit ako ng Ryzen Master Curve Optimizer at ang kaya nya lng e OC is 4.65ghz, pde ko cya e manual OC to go beyond but ang problema sa Manual OC wala cyang curve optimizer so always running at Full Speed even at idle. temps are fine below 50c at idle and below 80c at stress test. in gaming around 65-70c lng.

Ang concern ko lng is always running at Full Speed even on Idle, meron bang workaround dito? na hihina ang clock/voltage nya if not under heavyload?

Hello! It's great to see your interest in pushing the overclocking limits of your Ryzen 5 5600X while also utilizing the Curve Optimizer feature. Let's discuss your query in detail:

1. Pushing OC Beyond PBO Limits and Using Curve Optimizer (CO) Simultaneously:
- When using Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer, the software adjusts the voltage-frequency curve to optimize performance based on your CPU's behavior. However, as you've noted, the manual overclocking feature doesn't support CO. This limitation means you have to choose between manual overclocking or CO.

2. Manual OC vs. PBO with CO:
- Manual overclocking without CO can indeed lead to the CPU running at full speed constantly, even during idle times. This behavior is typical because the manual overclock sets a fixed clock speed and voltage that doesn't adjust dynamically based on the workload. This can impact power consumption and heat output, as you've observed.

3. Workarounds for Balancing Performance and Power Consumption:
- If you want to maintain a balance between performance and power consumption, you might consider the following options:
- Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling: Instead of manual overclocking, you could rely on Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) with Curve Optimizer to allow the CPU to dynamically adjust its clock speed and voltage based on workload, thereby improving efficiency.
- Power Plans and Windows Settings: Adjusting your Windows power plan settings can also influence how aggressively your CPU boosts and how quickly it returns to lower frequencies during idle periods. High-Performance power plans might keep the CPU at higher clocks constantly, while Balanced plans aim to optimize for efficiency.

4. Monitoring and Fine-Tuning:
- To find the best balance for your system, monitor your CPU's behavior using tools like HWiNFO64 to observe clock speeds, voltages, and temperatures under different workloads. This data can help you fine-tune your settings for optimal performance and efficiency.

In conclusion, while it may not be possible to use manual overclocking with Curve Optimizer simultaneously, exploring PBO with CO and adjusting power plans could help you achieve a good balance between performance and power efficiency. Experiment with different settings and monitor your system to find the setup that suits your needs best.

MSI doesn't have Dynamic Voltage, it only have Override, Offset, Override+Offset, and AMD Overclocking

I also have the Power Plan set to Balance but it doesn't lower clock/voltage while Idle.
