Question about 5600g overclock.

[Alex Jones]

I bought a ryzen 5600G not arrive yet and want to overlock it on a motherboard gigabyte b550 ds3h, I’m using water cooler, I know the voltage limit is about 1.35 can I pass the 4.6 ghz setting the clocks manually or Should I use the pbo??Thanks guys.

Don`t bother with manual OC of Ryzen, just let it do its own thing and when adequate cooling is provided it will boost itself to higher performance.

Safe core voltages on Ryzen are a variable, not a fixed rate. Sometimes even a fixed voltage of 1.2 volts can become unsafe. Ryzen processors have a component called the Silicon Fitness (or FIT) which dynamically adjusts core voltages based on power, temperature, and the load on your CPU. Changing the core multiplier or voltage completely disables the FIT.

Just run the CPU at stock.

I wouldn't touch the voltage. The fact that you have a 5600G I assume that you are using the iGPU, which should share the 65W power limit. So it's best to increase this limit to 105W and this should trick the Precision Boost Override into increasing one/all cores to the maximum possible. As is the Ryzen 7 5700X and 5800X

[Alex Jones]

Right, thanks guys. I will let it at the default settings.

Ryzen 5xxx series auto OC's all on it's own without you needing to manually do much of anything. The key is keeping the CPU below 75*C at all times so it has thermal headroom to auto OC the CPU.

If you really need a beefier CPU, there would be plenty of folks willing to purchase that 5600G CPU off of you. Then go get yourself maybe a 5700X or 5800X3D and a decent CPU Cooler; along with using a dedicated PCIE GPU Card.

amd really are poor overclockers its more a intel thing.but you could lock all cores to
there boost speed

There just is no need to.
Most Ryzen 5xxx series can auto OC well beyond the rated turbo boost speed.

I've also seen plenty of Intel unlocked CPUs that still couldn't OC very well either. They aren't all equal just because you pick a certain model of CPU that some enthusiast on YouTube suggests you should pick because it OC's well. Out of 100 CPUs out of the same batch you might have 1 or 2 that really OCs well. I was fortunate enough to have both my older machines OC very well when money was tight and couldn't upgrade for a while. Getting an FX-8350 stable @ 4.8Ghz wasn't easy. My i7-4790K also OC'ed quite well. Todays CPUs though are so well done out of the box and are so fast, you don't need to OC them. Even if you could boost it by 1Ghz, it probably wouldn't even help enough to justify the heat output, power consumption, risk to motherboard and the cooling required.

At most I would do with Ryzen 5000 series is to tweak the voltage curve in the curve optimizer, You can get negative values per core and PBO will increase the all core boost due to a lower power consumption, but you have to keep an eye on WHEA errors in event viewer. You wont gain much performance though, but if you do like tweaking, I find it fun and why not.

This guy does a pretty good explanation of how to play with the Core Optimizer on Ryzen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU5qLJqTSAc

You can't lock 5000 series CPU to its max boost, doesn't work like that, AMD CPU's tend to OC differently by undervolting in a way, but not in a way by lowering the core voltage, but the amount of voltage a core can use, if its stable at a given clock speed, you under volt it, the CPU will end up boosting more cores further as the power thats not used for that core can be used for another core, probably the easiest way I can explain it, there is more to it like Motherboard voltage target and the likes, OC is just not anywhere like what Intel is or even old AMD stuff.

AMD CPU's act a lot like a GPU and how it works, the cooler and lower voltage will increase the clock speeds due to it not hitting its power target as soon as it would if it was at stock using unnecessarily higher voltage.
