AMD Ryzen 5 3600 review - Overclocking and tweaking

Remember that we're going for an all-core overclock and that means a lower clock frequency than the highest Turbo bin offers. What you need to do:

1. Enable and start at 4200 MHz (42 Multiplier)
2. Apply 1.40V to the CPU (or simply leave it at auto)
3. Work your way upwards from there until the system becomes unstable and then back down at least 100 MHz.

A small tip

I mentioned voltage tweaking, the reality is that leaving the motherboard at default and altering just the CPU multiplier could be sufficient as well. A reason why you should tweak CPU voltage, however, is that you can define the lowest needed voltage for your target frequency. Less voltage equals less heat and power consumption, your choice of course. Most Ryzen Series 3000 CPUs will be able to hit a speed up-to 4.2~4.3 GHz with proper cooling on all cores. You need to keep in the back of your mind that this is an all-core tweak. 

The 3600 - In the end we got the proc stable at 4200 MHz on all cores at 1.425V. This, however, was pushing it. I would, in theory, recommend a default voltage usage and a 4.1 GHz all-core tweak if your proc can handle it. Even more, recommended, don't overclock as the benefits are really small if at all as the separate higher turbo bins can go higher then your all-core tweak.
