Okay, that's like saying don't bother overclocking your 7700k because you will never reach 5.5GHz... Any boost in the speed at which a CPU runs is free performance. There is no reason he shouldn't overclock.

 

For you OP, just go to YouTube and search "Ryzen 3 1200 overclock guide". I am sure there are countless videos with great information for newbies. :)  

GPU: XFX RX 7900 XTX

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

set voltage to 1.4 or 1.39 in ryzen master and see if its stable at 3.9 ghz in a prolonged stresstest. see if 4 ghz works and then lower voltage till its no longer stable. thats all i have to say. 

 

Edit: i am by no means a profesional overclocker and thats all i did with my 1500x
