AMD Ryzen 7 5700x with 30$ air cooler.
MSI B550 gen 3
2x16GB Kingston Fury Beast 3200 M/T CL16
PBO: -15 -20 -15 -20 -25 -25 -25 -25.
PPT: 88 TDC: 65 EDC: 80 (default: 76, 60, 90)
aida64 stress all core 4649,99
I found lowering the EDC (as well as +12 watts) helped getting more MHz and score in CPU-Z multi-thread bench, also TDC is never at limit, always below 65.
Stress-tested with OCCT, Aida64, Prime95, Ycruncher, Corecycler and Testmem5.

I have a question: Why CPU-Z cannot get all cores to 4650MHz like other stress testing software (but if I increase wattage it then can–in this specific software, is it using different stressing instruction that barely falls below max 4.65 boost frequency with this given settings, with stock CPU settings it's even lower multi-threaded frequency), and is the clock-stretching visible here?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
