Extending the boost curve involves modifying its shape to achieve a desired performance characteristic.

You're looking for a way to push beyond the 200MHz limit without going full overclock. It sounds like you're trying to balance performance gains with power efficiency and circuit health. Maybe explore techniques like voltage scaling, thermal throttling adjustments, or using power management features in your BIOS/UEFI. Also, consider optimizing your workloads—focusing on the parts where you need the most boost could help you stay within safe limits while still getting better results.
Bclk overclock seems possible up to around 104 before you need to switch to lower generations. It’s best to avoid using your main OS during this process; if Bclk OC is too erratic, it might cause corruption. Once stability returns, you should be safe and avoid any annoying issues.
I don’t have backup drives that work with Zen-Radeon drivers. I’ve mentioned before that reliability and power consumption during use remain important, which is why I’m cautious about adjusting the clock ratio overclock settings when they’re not needed. I’m just chatting in the forum right now.
Based on my observations, adjusting the setup can slightly reduce idle power consumption, as the chip isn't forcing 1.48V even if you move your mouse. The impact is minimal, usually only a few watts, and performance may drop overall depending on testing methods. Technically, these chips operate at very low power, leaving little room for improvement. The biggest potential gain comes from RAM OC settings, but results vary with your specific workload.
Gaming and Handbrake both heavily rely on RAM performance. I recently attempted to boost overclocking settings, but it didn’t work. I plan to fine-tune the advanced timings instead, as the RAM stability remains consistent.
