Can you overclock the r5 3600x by 2ghz with the stock cooler

[Doggyroar82]

I was going to get the cooler master hyper evo 212 black edition but i heard that you can still overclock with the stock cooler. (is this true?)

[Mateyyy]

Are you asking whether you can get your 3600X to 6GHz with its stock cooler?

[WhitetailAni]

If so, does that mean I can get my 3600 to 6 GHz with my big tower cooler?
Ooh!

The 3600x has a base clock of 3.8GHz, so are you asking if you'd be able to overclock it to 5.8GHz using the stock cooler?

[Helpful Tech Witch]

you want a 5.8ghz base  3600x, on a stock cooler?!? The golden sample 10900k's with a CryoCooler reach like 5.7ghz boosts!!

Ah.

Makes more sense now
So a 4 GHz overclock...

Maybe. If you get really lucky and get the coldest of all 3600X chips, then totally.

You can still oc with the stock cooler but it's not recommended, and it's also a lot harder to get it stable. 

 

Also at this point you have to ask yourself why. Boredom, wanting to learn something new, sure. But you won't really get noticeable gains from a tiny oc. At all. 

 

 

So a cooler is recommended therefore.

what are you doing with that computer? id recommend load optimized defaults for gaming and if u can ram overclocking. for production maybe undervolting/"overclocking" which means fixing the cores somewhere arround 4,1-4,2.

 

if u have no clue what you do, just load optimized defaults in bios and forget about it.
