Today we undervolt and overclock the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor up to 5860 MHz.
I do this by leveraging Precision Boost Overdrive tools like Fmax Boost Override, Curve Optimizer, but also delve into memory subsystem tuning and OC Mode.
00:00 Intro
01:44 Stock Performance
03:27 OC Strategy #1: PBO + EXPO II
07:18 OC Strategy #2: PBO Tuned (Fmax, Scalar, Curve Optimizer)
19:55 OC Strategy #3: Mem Tuned (FCLK, UCLK, MCLK)
26:17 OC Strategy #4: PBO Eclk Tuned (Curve Shaper)
37:18 OC Strategy #5A: OC Mode (AVX-512)
46:13 OC Strategy #5B: OC Mode (SSE)
