AM5 OC lacks fine-tuning capabilities.
The game on the AM5 platform depends on your setup—boosting PBO to its limits or exploring advanced cooling methods are both options. Those days of static control haven’t fully disappeared, but modern overclocking requires more nuanced techniques. You might need to experiment further to find what works best for your hardware.
Sure, activate PBO and adjust voltages using Curve Optimizer. This is usually done when you're really interested in fine-tuning. A stable -30 across all cores in CO is typical today. Classic static OC methods are still around (as discussed earlier), but they're mostly useful for bench testing. It seems people enjoy experimenting with RAM settings on this system, especially within certain communities.
essentially the only enjoyable options on newer systems lacking sufficient CPU headroom are boards with a solid enough design for over 8000, meaning you’re usually stuck with 2Dimmers such as the B650m HDV X670E or similar, or you might find decent 4Dimmers like the X870 Tomahawk—though some models won’t even reach 8000.
Pbo continues until reaching power or thermal limits. It would be useful to have a water cooler, though otherwise it’s AMD’s approval since you won’t need to adjust many settings.
