I've been messing with GPU curves and clock/power settings trying to fine tune it.

I've seen the two basic methodologies of setting the flat curve at a certain core clock / voltage vs setting core clock and power limit. I've never seen any example of people using core clocks this high on the second method, and this has yeilded me the highest results by far on Userbenchmark testing (I'm sure I'll get some flack for that).

My questions are:

  1. Userbenchmark reported maximum clock on test to be over 3,500 MHz. Is this sustainable at all? Seems like a much higher number than any other tests I've seen online.
  2. Is it dangerous to not set a flat curve setting that limits the lock speed?
  3. Are userbenchmark results reliable at all?

I'm new to PC's and definitely new to fine tuning hardware settings… watched a lot of videos but none are specific to a certain setup. Any advice?

Userbenchmark results / Hardware breakdown below:

UserBenchmarks: Game 139%, Desk 124%, Work 135%

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X – 126.6%

GPU: Nvidia RTX 5070 – 108.1%

SSD: Samsung 990 Evo Plus M.2 2TB – 521.4%

RAM: Team Group Inc UD5-6000 2x16GB – 188.4%

MBD: Asus ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI

(Core Clock +425, Memory Clock +2000, Power Limit 85%)
