Question Overclocking PC

[TJTindall]

I have no idea how to overclock but I’ve heard about it. What are y’all’s thoughts for overclocking on my build specs below:
AMD ryzen 7 5700x
Thermalright peerless assassin 120
Asus prime b450m a-ii
16 gb ddr4 Corsair vengeance
I have a WD500 sata ssd and a 1tb Samsung 990 evo plus
Asrock Radeon 7600xt
Coolermaster 700w silent pro(really old like 10 years)
Zalman i3
Windows 11
Sceptre 240 hz 1080p 25”
The bios version on the motherboard is 4202

You shouldn't bother with overclocking on a PSU that old, let alone something from Coolermaster.

The latest at the time of writing is 4622. Make sure you're on the latest BIOS before overclocking(after you've sorted out a reliably built 650W~750W PSU).

Got a link to this ram kit? If you're on a DDR4-3200MHz kit, then that's good. If you're on something lower, then you're losing out on performance. If you were on a beefy VRM B550 chipset motherboard, you'd be able to drop in a dual channel DDR4-3600MHz, tight latencied kit to get some more out of your Ryzen 5000 series platform.

if I got a new psu what overclocking should I do? I will send I link to the ram here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07RM39V5F?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I think I have it on 3200 MHz

You could enable PBO on the CPU, but that is about is far as I would take it.

7600 XT you could try bumping up the power limit, GPU frequency, and the memory frequency. But be sure to test. Even if you see stability, sometimes higher overclocks result in worse performance. Undervolting can also prove quite useful to GPU overclocking, but not every GPU can manage it.

As always, monitor temperatures, if you see throttling or worse performance, you have gone too far and need to back it down.

All that said, you are looking at 5% or so potential gains for a not insignificant power increase. There just isn't as much head room as there used to be.
