You're seeing solid performance with your current setup, but you're looking for a boost beyond the 200MHz limit. Since the +200MHz override is fixed, consider tweaking other settings like CPU frequency scaling, power management, or even exploring alternative hardware options if possible. Let me know if you want guidance on those areas!

No, manual overclocking doesn't necessarily reduce single-core performance for better multicore results. It mainly affects how your CPU handles multiple tasks at once.

The outcome mainly hinges on the silicon used. Generally, Zen 3 chips tend to show poorer single-core performance after manual overclocking. For Ryzen 5 5600 models that come with a fixed clock speed, pushing them beyond PBO limits may not yield significant gains. Even if you manage it, real-world benefits would likely be modest—perhaps a few percentage points at best. If you're a lucky find, you might hit stable 5GHz across all cores, but the boost would probably stay around 4-5%. For gaming, the improvement would be minimal, as you're already close to 4.85GHz in lightly threaded titles. A 150MHz increase wouldn't make a noticeable difference. If you're just curious, feel free to experiment, but for serious gains, you'd need more than just tweaking.
