Manual OC on Ryzen often results in reduced single core/thread speed and overall performance. This powerful CPU can outperform many Intel models, so you won't need to keep optimizing it for long. With a solid memory and proper configuration, it can reach over 5GHz on the single core and nearly match other cores. It's also a very hot processor, and increasing its speed will definitely generate more heat.

Great CPU. I wish I could purchase a 5950X, but here it feels like a ghost CPU. What makes you want to upgrade your 5950X? Are you looking for some extra performance or just having fun?

Thanks, yes, I was really lucky. Mostly because of the speed advantage for gaming.

Savor your CPU as it stands, it won't improve significantly in the short term, and for games, you likely won't notice any substantial change.

I have the 5950x and I'm wondering about the correct configuration for mounting the motherboard with the CPU. Thanks.

There's not much to it. First you need extra good cooling, beast runs hot but boost cut off temps are higher than earlier Ryzen.(can go to mid 80s c).
XMP/DOCP to best what is for your RAM. Making sure that FCLK matches it.
PBO/PBO2 set to maximum allowed and keep voltage in check even if that means negative voltage offset.
