So I cannot for the life of me figuer out why, no matter what settings I change, my 5800x will not boost over the 4,650MHz that I've set the base clock to. It has plenty of thermal and power headroom, I've tried all sorts of PBO settings, turned off the fmax performance optimiser, but nothings working.
The CPU boosts up to 4,700 when running stock, but as soon as I change anything in bios, it stops boosting.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this just how its meant to work? I feel like I've seen plenty of people running strong OCs while still having their CPU boost, but maybe I'm wrong.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Yours is not a golden sample, it’s a platinum sample.
4.65ghz at 70c using 115w?
Leave the CPU multiplier (and CPU voltage!) on Auto, otherwise PBO might not work. Adjust PBO settings/limits instead.
Reset your bios. Make sure core performance boost is enabled. Even without any oc if thermal headroom is available a 5800x will do 4.85ghz without PBO. Don’t touch the multiplier and just use PBO with the limits suitable for your chip.
You can either do a manual overclock with fixed frequency and fixed voltage, or you can do PBO with dynamic boost. They’re mutually exclusive.
