How far can I overclock the ryzen 5 3600?

[AaronHighley]

Hey guys. I want to overclock my ryzen 5 3600. I will be using ryzen master to overclock the cpu. I want to know how how much I can overclock it. I was thinking 4.2. Is this the highest I can go? And if so what voltage do I use. I am using a msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac

Doesn't Ryzen Master set all of that?  I do everything through BIOS so Im not sure about that software.  Can your chip do 4.2?  That's a lottery, so you have to just try.  Look up the multitudinous guides out there for OCing that chip and try a couple.  

 

There is only one way to learn to OC - as someone who only started delving 1 year or so ago into it - and that is, just do it.  And learn.

 

Every chip is unique, no one can determine what yours can do

If it's not stable at 1.3C 4.3GHz, dont bother overclocking the cores. Just turn on PBO and autoOC, that's done on the CPU side. Focus on speeding up the memory instead

You just have to bump up the multiplier and test it with Prime 95.. Watch your temps, if Prime crashes before 15 minutes have passed then up the voltage a nod. Repeat steps until you are either happy or until you don't want to push more currents in the CPU. Depending on high you can go you may need to adjust RAM timings or voltage to get things stable.

 

Since clearly you have not done this before, if I was you I would just use PBO and try to gain a little that way. Ryzen 3000 doesn't OC very far. Better cooling can also help with increasing boost since it relies on factors like temp.
