[SOLVED] Need Advice

So I just upgraded to a RYZEN 7 5800K, MSI Meg X570 Unify (BIOS A.B3), 16GB DDR 4600Mhz (CL 19) RAM, and an Radeon 570X GPU. What would be the optimal OC setting for this setup?
 
Solution
5800K? or 5800X? A10-5800K?

I suppose AMD may have snuck out a new 5800....but with a 5800X I'd go one step further: turn on PBO and undervolt with Curve Optimizer. It can be as simple as using a curve that works for all cores as it's still going to be an improvement. But if you're a "tweaker" at heart then working out a custom curve for each core gets the best performance possible while actually lowering operating temperature.

If A10-5800K neither PBO nor Curve Optimizer is an option; it's a Piledriver arch processor that sits on FM2 socket. Won't work on an X570 board, with AM4 socket, either.
