No don’t worry about the language you’re doing fine. I appreciate the feedback.
What would be helpful is if you did a Superposition score with your PC in the zero overclocking state. Please look into it, as it is a great, objective benchmarking superset.
With your rig you should have an app from AMD that can monitor your chipset and hardware, and what we want to do is look at it to see if during a “stress test” it reaches thermal throttling. This number can actually be quite low, despite your CPU’s tolerance. For example, the CPU SafeMax may be 85C, but your onboard throttle is 71C. AMD Ryzen Master Utility for Overclocking Control (if applicable) is where I’d start, in order to stress test and benchmark your PC’s performance and thermal profile.
As to the RAM: many manufacturers will leave the Memory speed to the Motherboard’s default setting, even though your RAM may optimally perform better at its correct settings. I always advise switching off all Overclocking in the UEFI, reboot and test, then creating a Default “Failsafe” profile therein, and then setting the BIOS/UEFI to match the correct speed and timings of the RAM. Then reboot with caution, run stress tests and proceed.
Please do answer about your cooling options. Is your system liquid cooled, air cooled, both or other?
