These temperatures look good for the 3700X build.

Yes, CPU-z can provide precise clock and timing information for your system.
It's reassuring to hear the system is running smoothly. The Cinebench R20 results and the HWMonitor reading of 65°C indicate everything is functioning well. For the build, the total came in around 2300€, which included the LG UltraGear monitor. I managed to snag a few components at slightly lower prices during Black Friday, though there weren't many attractive offers for the parts I needed.
I'm currently not connected to my PC, but I'll try when I can. Concerning the Cinebench R20 result, is it sufficient to suggest a problem? I haven't adjusted any BIOS settings related to the CPU before, so everything should be set to default. Appreciate your assistance. Update: After changing PBO to Enabled in BIOS and rerunning Cinebench R20, the score came back at 4891. With PBO enabled by default, what does that really mean compared to when it's turned on? Thanks for your support. I'm new with Ryzen and haven't tested this before.
Awesome. Thanks for your feedback. With PBO enabled by default, it means the feature is automatically activated unless you explicitly disable it. Compared to leaving it off, it’s set to work in the background. For your setup, it’s generally safe to keep it on Enabled since it enhances performance and stability. Just monitor temperatures closely—your recent readings show solid performance without overheating. Happy gaming!
I've observed results in Cinebench R20 using PBO Auto versus when it's turned on. Apart from enabling XMP, I haven't adjusted any other settings. With PBO Auto, all cores ran around 3917-3942 MHz during Cinebench R20, with a max clock of 4390 MHz and a temp of 59°C. The score was 4667. When PBO is enabled, all cores hovered near 4142 MHz (about 200 MHz higher) and achieved a score of 4923, a 5% improvement. Temperatures rose to 69°C (~17% increase). Compared to the baseline, this adds roughly 10°C, which feels significant but costly—around a 17% price jump. Under full load, staying under 70°C seems manageable, though I'm uncertain if it's worth it for gaming performance. In gaming, would enabling PBO be beneficial? Thanks for your input so far. Have a great weekend!
