I got the one with mostly borderline die quality that barely makes the 4.6 non-PBO let alone much more. "Life is like a box of chocolate's" applies here. They liken the silicon wafers to "gold", "silver" or "bronze" in quality, so you get a mixed bag of all of that. One video brought up how AMD "grades" their CPU's and silicon in general and why they feed them so much juice to start with. Ryzen Master did tell me which cores were best and I only have 2, to succeed you need at least 4. I was trying for the under volt, PBO, Auto OC trick, but it's a "unicorn". Doesn't get hot, just locks and reboots or hard crashes depending on the voltage.

Side note is all that to get it to work and this 5600x won't boost much past stock limits, ~4.7ish.

Sigh, so I then went back to "Services" and enabled "Workstation" to "auto" and Ryzen Master will work any time. This allowed for Ryzen Master to work perfectly until it had to reboot to apply changes and auto-restart. So I navigated to "Services" and enabled "Workstation" but only made it "manual". I looked up what dependencies Ryzen Master needs to work and it smacked me in the face, because I then remembered. One I turn off, because I don't use "Home Group" or share a printer or files, is "Workstation".

We turn certain Windows services off, at least I do to save resources, close potential backdoors, limit the "attack surface" for APT and zero day type things, and other seemingly useless items. Nope, we both overlooked a major item we all do and thanks to a troll posting about disabling DCOM, I realized there's another thing to check for some weird issues.
