Overclock score worse than stock score?!

Well, looks like 4.8 is this particular chips max oc. 4.9 was unstable even with 1.38 vcore. No worries, this chip and mb will last me for 4-5 yrs, hopefully. Lol
Now to get 1 more 500gb 850 evo for raid 0, 16 more gb of RAM and some rgb led strips and I'm gtg.

It takes large overclocking to benefit CPU scores in a big way. For 500Mhz increase in clock with i7 7700k it can gain ~25 FPS. CPU gaming benchmarks LINK: https://www.techspot.com/review/1333-for-honor-benchmarks/page3.html

I get about 1260 on Cinebench with an Ryzen 1600 at 3.8 ghz and paid $200 for it. And that was using only 2400 mhz RAM.

Yea, Ryzen is better for apps like that. I don't do those things. I only game and the 7700k beats all the Ryzen cpu's in that field.
