So in conclusion: if you dial in Curve Optimizer, PPT, and TDC you'll have the majority of the performance gains you'll need for gaming. Don't worry about EDC or any other CPU value at that point. Move on to GPU.

This is the shorter version of my Overclocking with Ryzen Master guide. I cover the 3 key items you need to focus on: Curve Optimizer, PBO2 Settings, and Thermals in order to unlock even more performance from your Ryzen 3000 or Ryzen 5000 series CPU.
