Ryzen 3700x Overlocking Concerns

[winsonnn]

I am looking into getting a 3700x and would love to overclock it, and am wondering what sort of cooler I should invest in for safe oc temps. Thanks

I wouldn't overclock it at all. 100mhz is all you get before crashing,

A decent 240/280mm AIO cooler will do the trick. However, if you're planning on primarily gaming. There is little point in manually setting all cores to a specific frequency, as it will prevent the CPU from automatically clocking a single core any higher. In essence, if you set all cores to 4.0GHZ, the CPU cannot automatically set 1 cores to the maximum 4.4GHZ should the specific workload require this. Essentially, you could overclock yourself out of performance.
