Zen 3 16 cores runs hot so get a big radiator and undervolt per core to get the most out of this chip. I can run a all core clock of 4.7-4.8 on most big parallel tasks with my 5950x.

I found the setting in my BIOS that let me run the CPU at stock speeds. For my Aorus B450m I located the settings I was looking for under M.I.T. >>> Advanced Frequency Settings >>> Advanced CPU Settings >>> Core Performance Boost which I set to disabled. My 5900XT can run at 3.3GHz all day long at a cool ~ 28C - 35C. Another nice tip for those who would rather keep the clock speeds but not let the CPU heat up all the time is try setting your power options to Power saver. This will downclock the CPU to ~1.6GHz if all you are doing is browsing, watching streams or leave your PC on overnight/all day like I do. I suppose an AIO is the way to go but my Phantom Spirit does keep my 5900XT's temps in check so I'm fine with it for my needs.

For Windows 10 user, maybe 11 as well?, if you want to make a shortcut to the power options just create a shortcut to "control.exe powercfg.cpl"
 
you can pull it back with some advanced PBO settings.. or if your motherboard has the preset ECO modes baked in..

I do the same on my 5800XT... Summer is approaching.. so instead of letting it run wide open at the defaults PPT = 142W, TDC = 95A, EDC = 140A, I pull it back to what the typical values are for a "65W" CPU would be ( PPT = 88W, TDC = 60A, EDC = 90A )

I'm also running my 5800x in 65 watt eco mode right now. Helping out with the BOINC Pentathlon distributed computing competition like I do every year but electricity is getting too expensive so I set it to eco mode. I take a considerable hit to clock speeds while running heavy all core loads but at least I can still contribute and it's not heating up the room nearly as much. The CPU doesn't heat up nearly as much either. I'm usually sitting at 55C-62C at full load instead of 75C-80C with stock settings with a 240mm AIO.
