ive got 2 3600s and a 3900x, havent run anything past stock except one 3600 with pbo to remind myself that it sucks lol. when i was overclocking intel stuff i would just look up silicon lottery's historical bin stats and start from there, but they dont have a lot of data for ryzen cpus. what are some good baseline overclocks to start with?

 

also for memory overclocking, i havent gone past 1800 fclk on any chip. how should i test further ocs there, and determine whether my memory or fclk don't work with the overclock?

 

mobo is a strix x570-e, cooler is a d15s. i've got 2x16gb of b die, dunno if dual rank will make fclk overclocks more likely to be unstable. thanks for any help you can provide!

topics i need help on:

Spoiler
