MSI’s proprietary overclocking specialist TSAIK has managed to overclock AMD’s new Ryzen 7 5800X3D to 5.15GHz. TSAIK uses the BCLK overclocking method for this; In this method, the clock speed of the motherboard is increased, resulting in a higher CPU clock speed.
Currently, it’s common to overclock Ryzen CPUs via undervoltage. A lower voltage at the base clock speed results in higher clock speeds thanks to Ryzen’s voltage-adjustable Precision Boost feature. Voltage per CPU core can be adjusted with Ryzen’s Curve Optimizer function.
The 5800X3D will be the first Ryzen to be ‘locked in’ which means, among other things, that voltage adjustments are no longer possible. According to tech news site Overclock3D, AMD work on the overclocking function For the new processor based on the Curve Optimizer, but more information about it is not yet known.
Unfortunately, BCLK overclocking is not without risks. Motherboard clock speed also affects memory, PCI cards, and SATA/M2 SSDs. A higher clock speed can cause instability and crashes.
