Sorry something went wrong with the 4.3ghz link above.

@Blood_Bought i meant 496 not 196

So i updated to the latest bios and added a stock test in there as well as some mild overclocks. Things seems to have changed and i am getting some improvements in terms of multicore performance with overclocking however i think i get better single core performance on stock settings because some cores boost to 4.4ghz as opposed to a all core locked 4.3ghz.

I stopped at 4.3ghz as ive reverted back to air cooling and temps started to hit the 80 degree mark and i dont like that lol. scored a nice 3810 with the 4.3ghz overclock and single core stuck to a 196.

Yea I noticed stock my 3600 only boosted to 4.2ghz but I could overclock it to 4.4 on lower voltage. I mean makes no sense lol

Well, in all honesty I found that with a manual overclock on my 3900X I get lower temps and much better all core performance. If I take CB20 for instance, I barely reach, although sometimes exceed 7000 points, but with my manual overclock of 4.267ghz using only 1.236vcore I get 7659 points, and I can take it further to 4.36ghz using 1.36vcore to get 7838. Seriously, I believe that there is no use in running these Ryzen 3000 processors at stock, or even PBO.

impressive stuff!
what air cooler are you using?

But dont you lose some single core speed which if you primarily game thats what you're looking for? I can definitely see the mutlicore performance bump helping in productivity applications like my testing above i went from a multicore score of 3650 to 3810 and possibly higher with better cooling?

Im using a Hyper 212 rgb as a temporary cooler until i decide what chasis i want. Once i know that will go back to an aio.

In all honesty I do not give a ....... about single thread performance. Besides that even when I ran stock, WIndows did not really use the cores that was able to run 4.6ghz so I don't really lose much if anything when I run a manual overclock.

Mind expanding a bit?
Cooling/voltage setups (as in offset/fixed/llc etc)

Ah ok, that makes sense.

Finally overclocked my 3600 after getting my new case and cpu cooler yesterday. I got it stable at 4.2ghz all core @ 1.31v with maximum temps reaching 60 degrees and PBO switched off. This is with a Noctua nh-u9s which is tiny but it has 5 heat pipes. I'm happy with that result. I haven't had time to try going further on the core clock but for a daily driver i think it's okay.

Have any benchmarks perhaps with pre and post OC?
I'm curious if the difference would be marginal as I suspect and if OC'ing the 3600 has any real world benefits.

I'll post some screenshots a bit later for you.

I don't do benchmarking other than for stability testing so i used Cinebench R20. Overclocking this chip made a big difference in the multi-thread performance according to the numbers in my opinion, single thread not so much. The main thing for me is that temperature is regulated at about 60 degrees and voltage is much lower than running stock.

Stock
3389 multi-thread
475 single thread

4.2ghz OC
3719 multi-thread
486 single thread
