I'm attempting to push my system's performance and am quite new to overclocking.
My configuration:
MSI B-450 Tomahawk
Ryzen 5 2600 6 cores
Geil Evo Spear 3000mhz 2x8gb
PowerColor Red Dragon RX 580
EVGA 600w 80+ Bronze
Four case fans
Wraith spire stock CPU cooler
In my BIOS I found that the DRAM wasn't reaching its rated speed, so I set it to 3000mhz instead of the default 2800. This helped performance a bit. I adjusted my setup in afterburner to these settings:
Power limit +50
Temp 90
Core clock 1425
Memory clock 2025
Fan speed 100
I also used A-XMP on Profile 2, which gave me a slightly better score than Profile 1 with all settings unchanged:
FPS 56.2
Score 1418
Min 18.2
Max 118.2
Everything was running at Ultra settings with 1920x1080 resolution. Can I find a way to get even better? I tried game boost but it hurt performance. My GPU also crashed at 1500 core clock.

The stock cooler enables running all cores at their maximum boost clock speed, ranging from 3.8 to 3.9GHz, ensuring each core operates at that frequency.

During overclocking with afterburner, I consistently push core voltage, power limiter, and temperature limits to their maximums. After reaching instability, I gradually reduce core and memory settings by 10%. Also, consider setting the window power to high performance.

You don't need high fan speed at 100. You can adjust the fan settings to a more aggressive curve that keeps it cool without causing much noise. This is my setup.

The optimal overclock settings I found were +96 core voltage, +50 power limiter, 1500 cores, and 2200 memory.
