Hello. Your Ryzen 3 3200G is performing well under overclocking conditions, maintaining stable temperatures during extended Cinebench R20 sessions. However, pushing it further to 4.1 GHz in Ryzen Master causes immediate crashes. You're considering a Cooler Master Hyper 212X with thermal paste and are thinking about upgrading to Zen 3, but you're currently lacking both funds and compatible motherboards. Could someone confirm whether this setup is reaching its full capability or if there are limitations?

It looks like the 1.5v is quite high—likely overpowering. Would you consider reducing the voltage instead? Improving temperatures probably won’t help much, and replacing the cooler might not be worth it.

Reducing the voltage causes instability during single-core tasks such as gaming. Cinebench performs adequately until the limit is reached, while games struggle significantly.

I might stick with version 3.9 and reduce the voltage. I’ll be concerned about damaging the chip at that level.
