Hello everyone. I was planning to upgrade my PC and i have a few questions regarding overclocking and temperatures for the R5 3600 with the 212 Black Edition air cooler.

1. What voltage should i set on the CPU in order to achieve a stable 4.0-4.2Ghz without undervolting and hitting dangerously high temps?

2. What temperatures should i expect to get at full load with the respective cooler?

3. Is the cooler more than enough if i only intend to game on the PC? I like playing Battlefield, CoD Warzone, other BR games, older and newer titles.

The Case i'll be using is the NZXT H500. I don't know if i should buy an extra fan and change fan configuration (so i'd have 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust/1 intake and 2 exhaust). I've seen in some videos that having intake fans in the H500 doesn't really make a difference regarding temperatures. You could maybe help with that as well.

It seems that third gen ryzen fares best below 1.33 volts vcore.

Ryzen CPUs typically adjust to keep themselves below 80-85 Celsius, but with overclocking you can't know for sure what temps you'll get.

That is recommended.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
