Question Asus Prime B550 Plus with Ryzen 5 5500 - - - - how to overclock ?

[shwick]

Hi I'm having a difficult time trying to understand how to overclock single and/or multiple cores with this motherboard/cpu combo?

I would like to manually overclock max boost from 4.2 to a higher number such as 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 or 5.0, single and all-core.

Is this possible? thanks

I tried increasing the multiplier under ai/overclocker and have achieved an all core base clock speed of 4.0ghz, which is ok but not what I want.

Alright I looked around and tried these settings on PBO in the motherboard bios(under cpu overclocking) but I'm not sure if it was activated/on/working due to the results. I changed PBO to enabled in the ai/tweak section.
"PBO advanced, Limits motherboard, Scaler auto, +200mhz override, Negative 10 all core curve optimiser"

Geekbench 6
pbo: enabled
1640
Single-Core Score
7368
Multi-Core Score

Geekbench 6
pbo: disabled
1658
Single-Core Score
7501
Multi-Core Score

pbo: disabled
silverbench
P17284


I also observed temps during the benchmarks.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "MHz" kept returning 3600
geekbench returned cpu Base Frequency 4.46 GHz
same for both tests

First off, what sort of ram are you working with? BIOS version for your motherboard? What sort of voltages are you working with? Have you tried working with Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer? That last point is the path to take when it comes to Ryzen overclocking.

That CPU is just crippled/unsuccessful 5600x and only reason for being downgraded, maybe even just one "bad" core but still..... 4.2GHz is just theoretical boost on one core. none would run all core over that unless given inordinate amount of Voltage and power, way above specs which means heat. 5ghz, lol. have some spare liquid nitrogen ?

If you get it to 5.0GHz please let us know.
