I usually buy boards that can overclock but don't do it.  What I usually
look for once I get my CPU, memory and all installed, the selection for
optimized settings or something to that effect.  I've always found that
that setting works pretty darn well.  I had to tweak the IOMMU or
something setting but other than that, I let it detect the best
settings.  If I upgrade the BIOS, I repeat that on the first boot up. 
In my experience, it picks good safe settings that result in stable
systems. 

I've never had a MSI mobo, yet, so it may be called something different
but even Dell and Gateway usually have something similar to choose.  It
may be worth looking into .

[gentoo-user] [OT] BIOS Best settings (no o.c.) for ZEN 5 3600 / MSI Tomahawk max ?

Hi,

I am trying to figure out the best settings (performance wise) for a
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with a MSI Tomahawk max motherboard.

I don't want to overclock -- tweaking the bios is for finding
the optimal setting in oposite to waste performance via sub-optimal
settings like not activateing XMP profile and running the RAM at
JEDEC speeds instead of what the vendor guaranties.

Unfortunately, there are quite a view settings to which I didn't 
find any explanation, for what they are good.

Any help is very appreciated! :)

Cheers,
Meino
