Overclocking The AMD Ryzen APUs: Guide and Results
by Ian Cutress & Gavin Bonshor on April 16, 2018 2:30 PM ESTHow to Overclock With GIGABYTE UEFI BIOS
The GIGABYTE AX370-GAMING 5 BIOS uses more menus than most other BIOS implementations. Upon POST, the M.I.T screen is the entry point and it is here where the overclocking sub-menus are located.
The main settings are in the top three sub sections; advanced frequency settings, advanced memory settings and advanced voltage settings.
One thing I like (ed: I don't) about the GIGABYTE UEFI BIOS when overclocking is having the required settings to overclock one specific item in one particular area. In the advanced frequency menu, here is everything frequency related: CPU ratio, memory, and integrated graphics. Perhaps a little odd was also seeing the graphics voltage here as well, rather than only in the graphics menu.
The advanced voltage section provides all the voltages (except graphics), including the CPU and DRAM options. Users can also adjust the load line calibration. As with the MSI BIOS, once you adjust the voltage using the +/- keys it automatically sets it to 1.4V, which I feel is a tad too high for a 3.90 GHz overclock.
Even though the SoC voltage and GFX core voltage are essentially the same thing due to the fact that they are linked, they had to be set separately to the same value within this particular BIOS. Forgetting to change one doesn’t make any difference but setting both to the same value ensures peace of mind.
When applying the XMP profile in the advanced memory sub-menu, users can manually change the memory frequency (or strap) while keeping the latency timings applied as specified by the XMP profile.
Once the settings are configured, pressing F10 brings up the pop up to save and exit. Unlike some of the other motherboards, there is no confirmation window with the settings changed here: it is just a click yes and go.

I would personally not bother to overclock any of the Ryzen lineup. The potential headaches aren't worth the 3-4% increase in performance, less when taken into account that a lot of applications don't seem to scale 1:1 with clockspeed (might be wrong on this). At least the IPC and general clockspeed is up.0ldman79 - Friday, April 27, 2018 - link
7zip bench is messed up, is it not?Lower is better yet the higher the clock and more threads gets a higher score.
Something seems to be amiss...

Very important:Are all b350 and x370 bioses identical feature wise? In specific, the ability to set estate frequencies for core performance boost tuning like in the rig hero VI? That bios is very comprehensive, and I'd like to not have to buy that board just to have access to those features. The point is to be able to tune the turbo boost by setting high multiplier instead of ocing all cores to run at one fixed state. I just want to significantly increase single threaded ipc for gaming. With the hero VI the options to tune cpb with pstates exists.
