The 3600 cant match 3700X whatever you do, in any way... Its due to binning and we cant do anything about it, other than try to find best settings and get the most out of it. This is new for all of us, and I just searching the best way to do it.
Did you try to raise PBO scalar when decreasing EDC? Whats your max temp during test before and after EDC reduction?
All things matter, especially temp. The Tj of ZEN2 while may be 95C, the clock reduction is starting way below that. Also the 80C point that is rumored to be the barrier does not exist either. I saw clock raising when drop temp from 65C to 60C when using all those PBO settings.
I'm starting to believe that in order for PBO to work properly the temp must be max 50C. I'm not talking for PrecisionBoost, but PrecisionBoostOverdrive which is a separate function.
That is true, but I wouldn't be so quick to discount what's possible for six-cores, clocks wise not score wise. You do have 2 less cores, but that's not the point. I was sustaining the same multi core clocks as you not long ago, on 1.0.0.3, when PBO wouldn't give me any gains either. I still do, some freak days, without PBO. I've seen a 3600 ST result clock up 535+ in CPU-Z, and a 4.3GHz 1.36v 3700X, so the possibility is there, it's just not common.
A good example of a 3700X would probably be nojuan's chip, one that can both do 500+ ST and 5000+ MT. 3700X binning is real bad compared to the SKUs above it, which is the exact opposite of what people anticipated prior to launch.
