Hi,
I am about to get a Dark Hero board with a 5900x and coming from years with Intel i'm kinda lost about how I should Oc it. I've checked CTR and it seems like a great tool to start with, no?....
first thing to understand is Ryzen is exactly nothing like anything in your intel experience.
second thing to understand is it's pointless to overclock 5000 series cpus for simple performance reasons as the gains are very little if anything and probably will come at the expense of gaming performance which people are mostly concerned about
so...what are your overclocking goals? getting that kind of motherboard would suggest extreme overclocking on LN2 in which case I'd hope you've already a good idea of what you're about.
and yeah, the way CTR works, in default settings it tries to find a very low voltage for overclocking so I kinda doubt it would fry someone's cpu...unless they set it up to do so.
