Question Overclocking guide ?

[jalb]

Can someone please direct me to a step-by-step guide for overclocking the
MSI Pro X870E -P WiFi motherboard ? (9800X ed/Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MT) Thanks.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

the msi pro x870e -p wifi motherboard? (9800x ed/Corsair Vengeance ddr5 6000MT)
Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

To add, you should be good to go by enabling AMD'E.X.P.O in BIOS. If you really do want to eek out more performance out of your platform you can think about undervolting your processor using Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer.

Overclocking latest Ryzen is not recommended and most of time doesn't produce any practical results, A good cooling and some careful optimizations are much better.
Default TDP is 120W and power requirement up to 140W. Unless sub-zero cooling with LN or dry ice, you would get nowhere. If it's for gaming than you get x3D model and if for work 9900x or 9950x.
To "overclock" RAM use XMP or EXPO mode whatever your RAM supports.

Overclocking a processor is no longer a way to get something for nothing.
Processors are binned and the better chips are used in the higher priced versions.
You are more likely to damage your processor by fiddling with voltages.

Thanks for the welcome. See below the PC I built on 7/18/25.

CPU: 9800 X3D 4.7 GHZ boost 5.25 Turbo
CPU cooler: Corsair Nautilus 360 with 3 120 fans
Motherboard: MS1 PRO X870E-P WIFI BIOS Version ---------
American Megatrends International, LLC 2.A23, 7/18/2025
Ram: 32 GB 6000 MT
SSD/HDD: SAMNSUNG PCie 5.0 4x NVMe M.2 2TB
GPU: ASUS TUFF OC 5070 TI
PSU: CORSAIR RM 1000e 2 Weeks old
Chassis: Corsair 4000 series 7-120 fans installed running, including the 3 for Corsair Nautilus 360 radiator
OS: Windows 11 Pro

If you really do want to eek out more performance out of your platform you can think about undervolting your processor using Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer. I have already enabled both a AMD EXPO but see no difference in performance boost. However it did take the ram from 4200MT to 6000MT. Ryzen Master's Curve Optimizer i have installed but i dont know how to use it so..thats why im here.

Overclocking a processor is no longer a way to get something for nothing.
Processors are binned and the better chips are used in nigher priced versions.
You are more likely to damage your processor by fiddling with voltages.

I was able to overclock my CPU and GPU today. Will continue to tweak as i gradually learn how.

Post some benchmark results results from before and after. CineBench and Passmark for instance. Many times results drop even if frequency is higher,

 

[jalb]

Nope, there is plenty of YouTube Videos on it. you can figure it out for your self like i did. I came here to ask for help just to be told it cant happen.

I figured OC some 35 years ago and doing it since then when there were no Youtube guides. Asked you for results for you to compare eventual success or failure , not to teach me.

It isn’t worth overclocking but…

Turn on PBO
Select advanced
Set power limits to motherboard
Processor clock limit to +200
Curve optimiser to -10 followed by -20..-30. Find where it fails by testing and go back to the last good setting

Curve optimiser and good cooling gives the best result. You really won’t see a difference in games from an extra 200MHz at 5GHZ.

So.. PBO on, curve optimiser to the best stable setting (mine runs -20) and expo on.
