1300x OC with stock cooler
1300x OC with stock cooler
I'm setting up my initial PC. It's an AMD Ryzen 1300 X with a MSK Gaming X1050 Ti GPU, a Corsair 650W power supply, a 1TB WD Blue hard drive, and a GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 motherboard. The case I'm using has a Master 3.1 Lite PC cooler with a 120mm fan at the back. I'm wondering if it's safe to overclock the 1300X to 3.9Ghz while keeping the stock cooler in place.
It might be, it's always a bit like a lottery, just do it slowly. Make sure not to exceed 1.375 volts (the stock cooler helps keep it at 1.3V, but if the temps are fine, that's okay). Also, avoid letting the temperature go above 80°C during stress testing.

Yes, it's secure, with numerous YouTube tutorials available to help with overclocking. Unfortunately, most Ryzen processors cap at around 3.9/4.0 ghz.
