It seems the "Horizon Detection" test gave a low score for you, especially compared to other results. I recommend rerunning it to confirm the outcome. There might be interference from background processes or an unstable overclock affecting accuracy.
I agree. If your overclock lacks stability, your CPU will perform minor corrections during high demand, impacting performance. Which benchmark tested the gains as you raised the clock speed? Also, did you record a starting score with default settings before making changes?
Your 5900X typically averages around 1700 out of 14000, which is reasonable given the first-gen Ryzen's performance. The multi-core version should perform better, aiming for at least 8000.
