Set the fancurve up in Bios? Is it running full speed under load?

Stock Ryzen 2600 in a rather old case , stock cooler : Idle ~45°C , gaming 80°C , Cinebench 94°C Stock cooler is not awesome at all. Only used it cause I had to wait for my aftermarket one to arrive. Make sure to really have Auto OC , and any PBO deactivated.

Well, I can't complain about the B450 Prime Plus. Never failed me, good Bios with enough settings to tweak, and can handle my CPU OC as well as my RAM OC just fine.

You can consider a score of around 3550 +- 100 good for a Ryzen 5 3600. Cinebench can fluctuate a lot by just minor background operations. Many people doing and posting their CB scores have already overclocked the CPU or played with the settings of their RAM to squeeze out more performance / beefy cooler and stuff. The allcore boost without any OC is pretty dependant on temperature and ends around 3.9-4.0 Ghz on the non x version with sufficient cooling. A fresh windows install and updated driver/bios are always recommended. I couldn't even use my PC with my old windows install after switching components. Before going for an overclock I'd do all the other steps to have a nice baseline and see what the CPU is capable of and then you can still overclock it as much as you like and the hardware allows. Also might wanna test the different powersaving modes from windows.

I would suggest sth like 380€ VB , so you'll probably end up near 300-350 depending on your capability to negotiate :P. 300 for the whole combo is a bit less so you'll probably get turned down and VB always attracts more people ;D 8600k + z370 are already about 250-280€ plus a beefy cooler and some decent Ram. It's a potent setup esp. for gaming, so..

You might mean SOC- Voltage but that is rather for stabilizing Ram overclocks and not a CPU Overclock. With Ryzen it's pretty simple. Deactivate all the Powersaving stuff and then just play with the Multiplier and Voltage until you reached any of the already mentioned limits. No other setting really plays a role then in overclocking the CPU. To be absolutely clear - I do not recommend that but - stabilizing your overclock requires you to add more Core Voltage. That's your answer.

You want more while already getting an error? Your overclock is unstable. Needs more Vcore to eventually get stable plus your temperatures are already quite high. Unfortunately your Vcore ( CPU voltage ) is already very high. So I guess the only way is to get better cooling in hope that stabilizes it , or reduce clockspeed -> then you probably can reduce voltage -> that will result in lower temperature.

And overseen this too...damn it's too hot in my flat.. Thanks for pointing out.

Totally overseen this. Idle temperatures dont matter unless they are exceptionally high. What matters is the temperature under normal day use, and under full - benchmark (r20/r15) load...

Exactly what I wanted to write just now. :'D Good I discovered that before starting to type

Guess you already reached the point where you'd need a massive amount of additional voltage to get more clockspeed out of the CPU. And on top it doesn't really matter how good your temps are , high voltage / too high voltage is not good for the cpu. If your CPU runs at (imagination) 40°C under full load with 1.5v that's still bad. Having reached these numbers CPU and RAM wise I'd already consider lucky and very solid.

I'd recommend this. Pretty juicy balance of performance, quality, price. You even have some spare money to get a higher quality cooling solution for the CPU. Improving thermals and performance is always a nice thing.

Now if you want help, you might need to put a question anywhere what exactly you're looking for...

Try reducing graphic settings and get as much fps ingame as possible, see if that improves it. Maybe you get small drops to 60fps or lower that cause this. Otherwise you could try , i think its called adaptive sync , in nvidia control panel. See if that works.

More system information. Business as usual, check for updates. Bios , graphics driver , windows. If you swapped out cpu , maybe a windows reinstall is needed. If you swapped out the GPU , DDU old driver and install latest one. Any temperature problems with the cpu ?

Yes I do, actually I am right now.

Using around 17% of my GPU for 1080p 60, so I guess it's even less with a better GPU. Guess you gotta try what makes more sense.

Not really knowing the answer to your question, but r5 2600 + rtx 2060 manage ~180fps in OW with custom low-high settings on 1080p while streaming (NVENC) in 1080p 60. So that setup shouldnt have any problems what so ever.

80+°C is enough to also throttle

Read about the overclock of your processor on forums. Just google "CPU model overclocking" , you get examples what other people have achieved and at what voltages. Basically it's changing the multiplier, testing for stability, adjusting voltage if unstable , test again...and so on. want more ? increase multiplier test again stable? voltage and temperature headroom ? then increase further and test again. You'll either reach the limit of the cpu , voltage , or temperature, and you ideally wanna settle somewhere where all 3 numbers are in a good area. Once you reached either of these points just go back to the last stable and good running overclock. Google the max. safe voltage for the 9600k. Too much voltage can easily kill your CPU. Make sure you have sufficient cooling. Overclocking means more heat, the higher you go the hotter it gets. Overclocking via Bios is probably the most common and recommended way of doing so. Guess that's a good basic to start, with additional specific information from the internet you'll be able to do it.

As mentioned, unstable, or a temperature problem.

You can overclock the memory via DOCP/XMP or manually by adjusting dram voltage ( maybe SOC voltage too but not always necessary ) , and then fine tweak it by adjusting the timings on it. Ram plays a kinda big role with Ryzen so you can squeeze a good chunk of performance out of the cpu by doing so. Would also advice to do the Ram stuff first and then overclock the Cpu. Had more trouble getting a stable overclocked Ram with OC'ed CPU then with a stock CPU that I overclocked afterwards. As for the CPU you can first aim for an all core overclock that is the same as the single core boost ( 3.6Ghz if I'm not mistaken ) and then if you got temperature/stability headroom as well are below max safe voltage, go for higher boost clocks. End of the line is probably around 3.8-3.9Ghz. 4Ghz only with golden chips and higher voltage that is not so suited for longevity. AMD said up to 1.45V is safe, so I would myself set a limit of 1.4V , or rather below 1.4 v to stay safe. You didn't tell us your mainboard, but that also makes a difference in how much you can achieve.

Guess you'd need to update the boards Bios first but then the chosen cpu will work on it. With that board you can't upgrade to Ryzen 4000 though, and I even think it's gonna be hard with some of the Ryzen 3000 in terms of using the full potential of the cpu.

Well , since it's a Laptop you can hook it up to an additional monitor like a desktop pc would need, cant really change the laptops monitor. You should be able to change or add memory ( ram) and maybe change SSD/HDD. Graphicscard can not be changed afaik , there are only a few laptops that really give upgrade possibilities.

Use HWinfo to read the voltages etc, and post a pic.
