Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my experience overclocking my Ryzen 7 9700X. I’ve been using PBO on Auto and set the PBO limit to +200. For the Curve Optimizer, I adjusted some cores to negative 10 and others to positive 5.
I ran benchmarks like R23 and Prime95 Small FFTs, and everything was rock solid—no issues at all. But I noticed that during gaming, the frequency doesn't go above about 5550 MHz, even though my TDP is around 105W and the PPO limit is set to Auto.
If anyone has tips on why the frequency might be capping like this or how to tweak it further, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
