Hello, I've managed to push my 5950X up to 4.8GHz allcore stable, but I'm not sure if it's worth running at full capacity constantly. Unfortunately, I don't have a Crosshait Dark Hero, so I can only choose between Boost or allcore overclock. The Boost option isn't great—it rarely goes above 4.6GHz on single cores or 4GHz allcore, and it stays under 90W. I turned off all power limits, set PBO Override to 200MHz, but nothing changes in BIOS. I'm confused about why the CPU can't just auto-boost to 4.8GHz like with manual overclock. I tried TimeSpy CPU loop; it showed a better score on my old 3700X.
