Hello, I aim to extract the maximum performance from my 5600G and evaluate how strong APUs really are. So far, I’ve played Valorant in 1080p at low settings without any problems, and CSGO is running much worse than Valorant. I ran a 3D Mark test here: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/68086394. I’m comfortable manually adjusting the CPU settings, but I’m not sure how to use the PBO overclock feature. I’m unsure if pushing more GPU power is possible unless we try it. My plan is to keep the OC running continuously for at least a year or two, depending on upcoming APUs.

PBO is a precision boost feature that automatically raises voltage and CPU performance depending on thermal conditions. Some users report better stability when it’s turned off, so consider disabling it if you want maximum per-core speed. Otherwise, if your CPU handles the boost well on its own, leave it unchanged. What device are you referring to? My girlfriend uses an ASUS X570 Prime P, and the iGPU voltage and clock controls make it a great setup for APU overclocking. If your BIOS has a solid settings menu, start there.

Damn 2100 fclk, is that typical for these APUs? I noticed another thread mentioning a 5700G also running at 2100 fclk. Maybe try boosting RAM speeds to 4266 for 2133 fclk. From what I see, you're going for Trident ZX Royal rams—probably not too surprising since you could have picked a more affordable option like Trident Neo. But then again, Trident ZX Royal makes sense if you really wanted that premium overclocking price.

It's a R5000 model. The Zen 3 MEM controller is significantly improved.

It applies to both APUs and CPUs. The FCLK typically reaches speeds up to 4 GHz.

It mostly covers the Zen 3 CPUs. I think I read somewhere that a user on the forum mentioned around 2200-2300 flops.

Sheesh, I saw you tried 2200 but it crashed. Do you remember how high the SOC voltage is?

It's likely most CPUs come out of the box at 2000fclk without any adjustments.

1.2v MAX. Exceeding that will cause damage; keep it around 1.18v max.

Perhaps? I've encountered many similar situations, though I can't confirm it definitively.
