Here are your specs rephrased:

- Processor: 5900X Asus X570, gaming build with GSKill Triden Z Roi, 16x2, 3600MHz
- Graphics: Corsair H150i Elite Corsair HX1000, Gigabyte Vision RTX 3080, LG 27GL850
- Monitor: LG 27GL850
- Settings: Cinebench R23, multicore 20500, singlecore 1550, frequency around 4.0–4.1, single core ~86–87°C
- Cooling: Good performance but felt close to my old i7-8700
- Temperatures: Often higher than expected (72–75°C) during demanding games
- Gaming experience: FPS was decent but closer to previous CPU specs
- Tweaks tried: Used Ryzen Master, adjusted PBO settings, changed core ratios
- Results: Stable performance with multicore score 22100, singlecore 1658, solid scores
- Issues: High temps (65–70°C), limited to 4.4 frequency max, crashes at 4.5
- Current attempts: Tested 4.6 all-core but system freezes on startup; no voltage changes made
- Notes: XMP profile active, no further frequency boosts without exceeding 70°C

Let me know if you need it in a different format!

I believe MSI Afterburner works well for overclocking and lets you adjust fan speeds too. Just keep in mind it might add some extra noise from the fans.

The sole way to boost stability right now is increasing the fixed voltage. However, this will affect temperatures negatively.

That's ideal, isn't it? PBO delivers the best performance without crossing safe temperature limits. To achieve cooler settings, you'll need to accept slower speeds as well.

Yes, you can try boosting frequencies across all cores while keeping temperatures and voltages within acceptable limits.

Yes, you can aim for 4.6 or 4.7 across all cores with PBO by optimizing your settings and ensuring proper configuration.

Not really. Likely stick to a 5% limit over PBO. Avoid pushing speed and lowering voltage. PBO works well for getting the best performance, but if you aim for absolute maximum, you’ll probably need to handle it yourself. CPU issues often come from minor differences; test what your processor can actually do. If your system boots at around 4.6GHz and then crashes in Cinebench, try adding a small voltage boost—like 0.02V—and see if stability improves. For higher voltages, aim for about 1.45V with good cooling (360mm AIO or better). Personally, I’d prefer keeping the voltage at 1.3V to preserve lifespan. It’s either PBO or you’ll need to manage it yourself. Precision Boost Override is available in software/hardware, but usually handled internally.

Various load configurations impact clock performance during boosting. For gaming and 3D markup, SuperPi and Mine achieve 5150 for single-core tasks. Linpack Xtreme operates around 4500 AC, OCCT near 4750 AC, while TM5 reaches about 4850 AC. Adjusting PPT TDC EDT and using a curve optimizer helps reach higher numbers. Running a full-core 1 clock at 4600 with a benchmark at 4750 is possible but pushes the CPU to its limits.

Another issue I observed between PBO and manual all-core at 4.5ghz was that using 4.5 cores kept them consistently running at 4.5, never switching up or down, especially during games. With PBO 1 or 2, the cores stayed around 3.6ghz while gaming. This made me want to use all cores to adjust frequency and push beyond 4.5, but it didn’t increase further.

I'm using the 360 AIO Corsair H150i Elite Cappelix and kept the voltage constant throughout all adjustments—it stayed on auto. I found a Reddit post suggesting that changing the voltage on Ryzen can harm the chip and shorten its lifespan. Since this is my new system built just last week, I'm careful not to risk performance loss but also not want to miss out on any benefits.
