I understand that this PSU is really bad. I've heard about it often, but in my area it's tough to earn a lot of money. I put in a lot of effort to buy this PC, spending more than four years just to afford it, so getting a new PSU won't be any time soon. Still, thanks! I'm going to read it carefully and see if I can find something helpful. What is VRM? Could you explain it to me?
I wouldn't go beyond just enabling PBO. Doing manual overclocking on that board isn't a good plan.
Classic overclocking loses its impact with today’s CPUs due to several factors.
1. Companies employ improved binning techniques to assess specific CPU performance and adjust pricing accordingly. For example, the R5 5500 is categorized as a lower binned 5600(x) model since it couldn’t achieve its full potential; previously they would have discarded it but now they sell it at a reduced price while still earning revenue. The 5500F represents the lowest in the 5000 series.
2. Frequency isn’t the sole determining factor—IPC and core count play a much bigger role.
3. The actual performance boost from overclocking is limited; increasing frequency from 2000MHz to 2600MHz yields far less gain than raising it from 4000MHz to 4600MHz. When you divide the improvement by at least five to ten for real-world results, the difference becomes barely noticeable, appearing only in test scores.
4. Testing standards have become stricter, with better control over power consumption, voltage, and temperature through built-in algorithms. These constraints limit how much each parameter can be pushed, often causing throttling, instability, or even loss of performance.
Good talk man, thanks for the help. I got what you meant, but even if OC a bit helps, it doesn't really boost performance much. I mean, if I can get even a small improvement, without hurting component life, wouldn't that be a win? Like with my RX 5600XT right now.
The stock frequency is 1780 for core and 1750 for memory. I OC it to 1820 core and 1800 memory, and I see a performance gain of about 5-10 fps in some games and better rendering in apps, all while keeping the VCore at 0.987v.
You got my point, right?
Sure, that's accurate. It seems most people who have responded to you have advised against using OCing with your mobile. The possible gain in performance of 2-5% isn't worth the risk of your board failing. Where would you be in this situation?
