Should I lock CPU Ratio?
Hello! Your setup uses a Ryzen 3500 (6c/6t) and you're aiming for around 4.1GHz. You've adjusted the CPU speed settings and found a good balance at 4.05GHz, which works well for benchmarks and keeps the system cool. Watching JazzyTwoCents helped clarify that your performance is solid, especially in Cinebench, and the CPU doesn’t overheat much. However, you're curious about whether manually locking the clock might affect single-core burst tasks. The specs you mentioned—3400MHz memory, DOCP timings, and 1800MHz FCLK—suggest a well-tuned configuration. It seems you're in the right spot, but keep an eye on real-world tasks to confirm.
The advertised boost clock is actually single-core, which isn't common. I'd prefer to keep it as it is and turn on PBO instead. Additionally, setting the FCLK to 1700MHz would align it with the memory and likely improve performance.
