It's a Ryzen 5600 B350 on a tower cooler with PBO enabled, cores offset by -30. After stress testing, I reached 4.65GHz and 4.12GHz. I changed the manual setting to 4.8GHz and increased the voltage from the same point. The CPU draws 60W at idle—do these adjustments conflict? Curve optimizer and voltage settings seem to work together. For gaming, manual OC at 4.65 or 4.8 might offer benefits. During stress tests, clock speeds drop slightly (0.3-0.4GHz) but still function. Decide based on your needs.

In short, yes. You can achieve solid results at around 4.8 if it's a proper overclock, but it usually demands more power and isn't usually worth it. When testing higher speeds, run Cinebench every time you boot to see how performance holds up—sometimes higher clock speeds actually hurt the score because the OC isn't functioning well. This tends to happen with Ryzen processors.

During the stress test, the clocks might drop by 0.3-0.4GHz due to environmental factors or system load. To ensure accuracy, you can fine-tune it to 4.65 or 4.8 depending on your requirements.
