Today we undervolt and overclock the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor up to 5900 MHz. I do this by leveraging Curve Optimizer and Curve Shaper to undervolt the VFT curve of both CCDs. In this video, I break down the tuning process into four unique overclocking strategies for beginner and advanced overclockers.

00:00 Intro
02:17 Stock Performance
03:45 OC Strategy #1: PBO 2 + EXPO
07:10 OC Strategy #2: PBO 2 Tuned (Fmax, Scalar, CO)
20:05 OC Strategy #3: Memory Tuned
27:25 OC Strategy #4: PBO 2 Curve Shaped
34:36 Let's Wrap Things Up
