[SOLVED] My 5600x is giving extraordinary performance after resuming to stock from an overclock, too good to be true ? (screenshots attached)

[Led zeppelin blues]

Hi ,first and foremost my specs
Ryzen 5 5600x
RTX 3060 Ti
Teamgroup T-Force Delta RGB 16GB 3200Mhz (8x2)
Asrock B450M Steel Legend
Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 Full Modular Power Supply

HWinfo screenshots as i cant make much if everything is alright which is shown in there ,please have a look if all seems alright
Screenshot 1
Screenshot 2
Screenshot 3

Now for the juicy bits .at everything stock earlier the exact scene which you see in the screenshots use to be 61 FPS give or take and then i decided to lets try turning on PBO (+200Mhz) from the bios and i did which boosted the CPU to 4850Mhz and the PC would crash ,so i decided to manually overclock to 4700Mhz with a 1.4 voltage just as a rough estimate to work my way down and i did notice a really good performence increase to 75 fps in that exact area and camera angle and no crash at all but since i wasnt sure on the voltage being safe
I went into the bios and turned everything back to auto in the OC menu ,saved and did a exit

Now the part which you can see in the screen shots is it never goes down 4650 Mhz stays rock solid there and i did enable the frequency of every 12 threads on the OSD which is not included here but at one time there were always 2 threads that boosted to 4650 Mhz always alternating and now its giving better performence which was 61 FPS in stock and now in stock its near 70 same scene and angle

Please i kindly ask guidence on this as im actually confused in the change in behaviour and resulting in better performance than stock earlier ,while being in stock now after reverting back from a OC is resulting in better performance

(Or i'm being dumb and this is normal behavior) ?
If dumb i truly apologize

performance relies on effective clock

Results will vary...

an all core overclock of between 4.6 - 4.7 GHz should indeed give quite nice results...

(SHould hold you over till 8000 series Ryzen easily, IMO....)

You can just call me dumb then
But i actually learned something new today ,thank you

Ah i did not know that since i've just started fiddeling with cpu overclocks in that ever so hunger and greed of 1 more fps
earlier it was a r5 3600 which ran all stock

But i do wonder if 1.4 is a too high voltage and lower would be better ?
Temps never went beyond 72 degree celcius but should i decrease it more and more until stable and if 1.4 is not a healthy voltage

well in bios you can disable C states/cool n quiet, powersaving feature which downclocks/sleep cores internaly, that way CPU will always run at its best performance...but at the cost of increased wattage even in idle
you can see those C states on your first picture C0 - max performance, C1 is CPU is doing nothing but is ready, C6 deep sleep (power down)

stock all core runs at about 1.3v, you can probably get better all core clock at this voltage then what amd offers
1.4v shouldnt be an issue as long you can cool it down

try this tool, there you can setup overclock for two four or six cores independently, you can also run different voltages for different CCX
with that app CPU will still use power saving features (idle frequency/core sleep)

here is voltage example for mine R7 3800X for all core overclock, stock voltage/frequency for mine CPU is 1.3v @ 4.2GHz (all core) which maxes PPT at 105watts, here you can see better clocks at lower voltage and lower PPT (wattage)

voltage mV​	PPT Watts​	CPU MHz​
1.226​	​	​
1.232​	73.3​	4242​
1.238​	74,0​	4267​
1.244​	74.4​	4292​
1.250​	74,6​	4292​
1.256​	​	​
1.262​	​	​
1.268​	​	​
1.274​	​	​
1.280​	80.5​	4317​
1.286​	​	​
1.292​	​	​
1.298​	​	​
1.304​	82.3​	4368​
1.310​	​	​
1.316​	84​	4393​
1.322​	87​	4393​
1.328​	​	​
1.334​	​	​
1.340​	​	​
1.346​	​	​
1.352​	90.5​	4393​
1.358​	91.0​	4419​
1.364​	91.5​	4419​
1.370​	92​	4419​

your CPU will scale differently and each CCX can be different (one better and one a bit worse - if better than it means lower voltage for same frequency)

PBO is disabled, so im hitting EDC 140 amper wall, but it runs nicely
