You achieved a solid performance boost with your Ryzen 5 5600X, reaching 4.8GHz at 1.3V. That’s definitely impressive!

Good performance boost. I've noticed 4.85 and 4.9Ghz with slightly increased voltage. Seems like you have a solid chip.

Unable to reach 4.9 stable even with 1.375 lr; avoiding higher values since I prefer daily OC runs.

Clear. Benefits slow as you rise, so 4.8Ghz works fine.

It's typical for that i7 5960X to perform well around 4.7GHz, usually between 1.3 to 1.32v, and reaching about 4.5 at lower voltages—quite solid for those processors. I believe it likely reached its maximum stability at around 4.9 with HT disabled and high voltages, though it didn't remain stable in BIOS. Certain chips hit a performance ceiling and won't increase further, even if they manage slightly less overclocking.

Absolutely, I was taken aback to find it included in this high-end model on my subpar board—it’s an AsRock B450M HDV.

The overclock could be steady, but the VRM on the board may get too warm... Monitor it closely. Don't be pushing excessive voltage.
