Can you achieve a stable 4GHz from 3600 using the Wraith Prism?
Can you achieve a stable 4GHz from 3600 using the Wraith Prism?
The wraith prism could likely handle it, as it’s designed for higher performance. The stock cooler probably won’t suffice, but the wraith prism should work at around 4GHz.
For a better cooler, opt for something other than the prism. A fixed 4 GHz won't give you an overclock; even at default settings it can boost beyond that when conditions permit. You might want to enable PBO, but I'd steer clear of fixed clock overclocks on Zen 2 and later CPUs. The built-in turbo is much more effective, and any gains in one area come with trade-offs elsewhere.
I have an extra unit I plan to offer; with our limited budget, should we be able to get it up to around 3.8ghz?
Enable the internal boost function. Check the timepieces—you'll likely stay within range without needing any additional adjustments.
In short, yes—using the built-in boost should work well for the prism.
