Your setup seems fine; the numbers you're seeing might depend on the specific BIOS version and settings. PBO can help, but if you're still hitting around 8,500, it could be due to driver configurations or background processes. Checking for updates in both your motherboard and Windows might resolve the issue. Overclocking complexity is possible, but it usually requires careful tuning.
Check the manufacturer details, speeds, and clock settings. Consider skipping the OS tuning tool since BIOS already offers everything you need. Try overclocking RAM by examining the RAM module's IC type on the burner to determine if it's a solid or subpar chip.
You're in a good spot because micron dies usually handle 4000+ reliably. Do you know your die's revision? Rev E is generally the top choice—consult the thaiphoon burner for details. If you have a revision die, it should be active cooled and running around 1.6-1.65V to unlock its full performance. If not, stick with about 1.5V; higher voltages can cause ram issues due to excessive heat, which may lead to errors. The actual voltage depends on your board and tuning settings.
Which cooler do you use and what temperatures does your system hit in Geekbench? Ryzen performance can drop significantly with high temps, so it's important to keep things cool.
Windows 11 has encountered several issues with Ryzen. It might be worth checking if your system is running the latest chipset drivers.
I downloaded the chipset drivers from AMD and want to confirm they’re up to date. The product page lists 3.10.08.506 dated October 21, 2021. Is there a more recent release available?
