What should I do about overclocking?
I have heard that you shouldn't overclock the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 and that you should tweak PBO instead. Im wondering what should I go with? Right now I have a 4ghz all core overclock with PBO disabled. Im not to familiar with Ryzen so what do you guys think? Heres my hardware:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700
ASUS TUF X470-PLUS GAMING
NZXT Kraken x52 AIO CPU Cooler
32GB (16gb x 2) HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 (OC'd to 3466)
ASUS TUF X3 GTX 1660 Super 6GB
1TB WD Black SN750 NVME M.2 SSD
XFX TS-550 PSU
4GHz provides solid everyday optimization when temperatures and voltages remain within acceptable ranges. Typically, Ryzen's maximum all-core overclock matches its boost speed. Since Ryzen's boost method (PBO) focuses on one core, at 4GHz you might experience a slight drop in single-core performance compared to 4.1GHz or lower. The main concern lies in the specific voltage and temperature conditions, which would affect performance at different frequencies.
