Improve performance on your R5 3600 by boosting its speed settings.
Improve performance on your R5 3600 by boosting its speed settings.
You're weighing the pros and cons of boosting your R5 3600. It's showing some performance gains on certain cores, but setting a higher clock speed across all cores can be tricky. Your old Wraith Spire from the R7 1700 might handle it if you adjust things carefully. Consider testing the boost settings and see how they affect your gameplay before making a final decision.
Overclocking really depends on your intended use with that speed. Software like Photoshop and games tend to rely more on GPU performance rather than CPU power. A weak central processor, such as pairing a Core i3-7100K with an RTX 2080Ti, can cause significant bottlenecks and reduced performance. That’s where overclocking becomes useful—it increases the CPU’s speed by running more instructions per second, making it faster. For this type of CPU, aim for around 4.4GHz.
