My Ryzen 5 3600x OC adventures!

[Tsviki]

So after a week with my new rig ive dicided to start OC my bad boy called the Ryzen 5 3600x!

 

And here is my end results based on personal needs and stuffs (mostly gaming on this bad boy):

Ive managed to boost up the clock speed from 3.8 to 4.275GHz on 1.3V, 65C max on full load!
Now ive tried to push up for 4.3GHz but that is achivable only when I set the voltage to 1.4V, that makes my CPU pretty toasty at really heavy load tasks (max temps went 85 at times, yikes!).

All of my stress tests and oc tweaking was made with Ryzen Master and RealBench.

Im using alonside my cpu a RTX2080 Super and Stix LC360 AiO!

I would like to hear some of your opinions when it comes to OC the 3600X, and please share you personal OC setups if you have some!

if mostly gaming, do a cinebench single core run and see what score you get with your OC vs auto-pbo.

On single core test OC gave 477 and stock gave 481..
Also, ran the normal test on Cinabench with the OC setting and my pc crashed almost instantly after the test started, is that normal it will crash under the multicore test? After ive put the voltage on 3.2 the multicore test went a-ok.

I guess stock gave a bit more juice since the voltage is way higher..?

Just set it to auto, if you got a X570 board + good coolibg it OC itself with turbo core much better anyway... Just making it hotter!

Never seen alot of positive things about pbo 

I guess it got alot better

i'd use stock / pbo then for gaming. all core manual OC is good for rendering/productivity tasks only.

Also it learns fast, if it's a single core app or game it boost the fastest core as much as it can to boost the performance to max.

The problem with stock is that my CPU temp bumps into 60C on desktop and chrome (since on stock 2 cores are getting a boost every few min to do everything better), so im not so sure what to do here..

also I do some really tiny video editing usually of my shadowplay from nvidia, so that is also something to take in mind i suppose..

The reason why I was surprised is because I remember in the early days of mce 

It SUCKEEED and so did pbo but yea it's a good thing it got fixed because before it was a great concept

put a -50mV offset on core voltage

Well for now im running PBO and it looks like it will do the trick.. I guess once ill start video editing more and do more heavy multicore tasks ill come to the oc drawing board.. Thanks!

it's not going to make a big difference either way. 2-3% here and there.
