Hey, I just overclocked my Ryzen 7 3700x (Overclocking noob) and am not sure is this safe/efficient

It seems to be stable (I ran cinebench R20 with a score of 4728) but I am still quite worried that I did something wrong because this seems to be to good to be true.

If you have any questions/tips please tell me

its way too hot?!.!

How about keeping the fans at max and then reapplying some thermal paste.

After that undervolt the CPU a bit.

What are you talking about? 84c is fine.

 

Ryzen 3000 series chips TJMax of 95c which is throttle point.

What cooling are you using?

84C is fine - especially since you're on 100% usage and with a pretty good OC.

Everything seems to be fine.

 

The only question is, do you really need to OC? Ryzen 7 3700X tends to do quite well without an OC - the performance gains from a manual OC is usually very limited.

Crank up the cooler a bit more, and then lower the voltage a bit.

Laptop: HP Spectre x360 13t, i7 8565u with 16 gigs, 512 gig  nvme ssd, UHD 620 4k

Other laptop: Acer Chromebook cb3 431 with 4 gigs, celeron n3060 with hd 400 and 16 gigs eMMC soon to be a minecraft server?

Remeber to tag people or else they wont see your post.

You did a fine OC. Be happy with it, change nothing.

I would feel more comfortable below 80 degrees 

When you're gaming and daily regular use, your temps will be under 80c. ;)

Okay thank you :)

You're welcome. 

 

Oh and if you want additional helpful and useful readings that HWMonitor does not have, Try using HWInfo64. It'll monitor..... everything.

84C is perfectly safe, would I aim for that? No, but it won’t kill anything.

Quote me or @TwilightRavens if you want me to see your reply. I may go inactive for a long time from time to time because I forget how to socialize, but I will be back... eventually.

The screen shot was at a full 100% load. I'm assuming that was during a Cinebench R20 run which would utilize AVX instructions and yield the hottest temp.

 

I agree people may seek a lower temp, but it's not necessary. He's easy 10c below throttle and has a decent resulted overclock.

 

When something works, leaving it alone is always an option.

I forgot to say but I was running the FAH client (for team LTT) using the cpu I could show you a screenshot of Cinebench if you want it

That would be rather useful. I just noticed that F@H in your screen shot, but wasn't a direct indicator while you had mentioned Cinebench.

 

Yea, give us R20 temps. Run a loop of a couple times or something. Maybe these guys are right!!! (I use OCCT)
