Not really. AMD chips in general, and the x3D chips in particular, are kind of set it and forget not. Not really much juice left worth the squeeze as far as UV, OC, etc. They may give you synthetic benchmark bumps, but are unlikely to give you much, if anything, in real world performance.

Just make sure you’ve downloaded and installed the individual chipset drivers from your motherboard website, including Ethernet, etc.

Yep. I downloaded those prior and installed once the PC booted. That's why the restart was such a pain before I did bios update. Set and forget sounds great. That's my style, lol. Not much use, for me, for synthetic benchmark bumps. I just want a stable experience.

I also made sure to buy AMD Expo compatible RAM. If thats just a marketing ploy, then they got me. But my RAM went from 4800 to 6000 once enabled in bios. Am I really getting 6000?

ETA: I read that it doesn't make that big a difference in gaming (RAM speeds).
