I tuned my Ryzen 5600 like this: 1) find the best possible RAM overclock with stock settings. Mine came out at 4000 15-16-15 at 1,54v (b-die single rank 2x8GB) (Dont be shy to use bclk overclock 1-3% with a lower dram ratio; it is more relaxed for the memory controller, and has another pro: you CPU boostst higher) 2) now i had this platinum chip. +200MHz, -30 all core with 102 bclk with 4012C15 stable in everything. Probably your 5600X isnt going to get to that. Leave everything auto and start with -20 all core. with auto voltages and PBO limits to around 90W 125A 125A. Start testing with OCCT CPU test, AVX2 and SSE. Or prime95 small FTT's. Make sure you have proper cooling. With these programs you can see which core taps out. I ended up starting with -20 all core, pass, -25 all core pass, -30 all core pass. Then i raised bclk to 102 and restest with -30 all core. Pass. Your milage my vary 3) Now the real part where you get the most performance for your Ryzen. Get proper memory speed, then tighten up timings. My CPU was capable at 100bclk of 1967 FCLK, 2000 fclk it didnt like. Now you know 1967 is stable, raise bclk. I ended up at 4012. Then set voltage to 1,6v (samsung b-die) and try to lower the primary timings. if you have a excellent kit 3800 14-14-14 or 4000 14-15-14 can be possible. Just dont settle for 3600C16 it is a waste of time imo. Ryzen NEEDS 3733+ at least. Here is my result: tm5-7 hosted at ImgBB IMGBB.COM Image tm5-7 hosted in ImgBB

this looks absolutely stunning

Thank you! Looking forward to participate on the forums, and learn the ins and outs of the hardware used by the members.

My name is Kaliz from Holland. I recently got invited to join Team ExtremeHW on HWBot, by member Damric on OCN. I opened a HWBot account earlier this year after I discovered my Ryzen system was pretty much outperforming everybody elses. I got almost all 5600 topscore (5600X i beat all other watercooled setups) with just a B550M S2H and a 360mm AiO. I enjoy overclocking hardware since AMD FX times and probably before. I love RAM, CPU's, motherboards and GPU's and can surf for specs and overclocking information for days. I recently got a good mobo and a good CPU with very good IMC and now I am almost ready to drop some scores with Cezanne.
