Overclocked Ryzen 3 2200G
Overclocked Ryzen 3 2200G
Hi everyone!
Hope all is well during these pandemic times.
I’m curious about overclocking my CPU—specifically, my Ryzen 3 2200G to reach 3.8 GHz.
If I upgrade the core, should I also upgrade the integrated graphics (Vega 8) as well? Or can I focus only on the core?
Also, I currently have an RX 570 with 4 GB of non-OC RAM and my XMP dual-channel memory is set to 3000 MHz.
Thank you for your help!
Usually 2200g doesn't reach high overclocks. You might achieve around 3.8ghz or 3.9ghz, but the clocks and voltages needed depend on each other. Set the multiplier to 39 and voltage to 1.4v. Apply a prime 95 small FFT while keeping an eye on temperatures using Ryzen Master. If it stays stable and stays under 85°C, look for the lowest possible voltage your CPU can handle at 3.9ghz. If it doesn't stabilize or gets hot, reduce to 3.8ghz.
You can overclock the CPU and igpu independently.
Since you are using an RX570, your igpu will not be used so i wouldn't bother changing any settings with the igpu.
Hi everyone !
Thanks for the replies..
Appreciate the answers..
I’d go OC the core and wouldn’t touch the igpu..
Any thoughts on the GHz and voltage needed for the Ryzen 3 2200G to run stable after OC ?
Once again, thanks for the help.

2200's use 1st gen cores means 1.38 is a suitable Vcore limit, but 1.425V is the absolute maximum if you maintain temperatures at 70C or below. Use these as a starting point for your Vcore settings and then determine a stable frequency that suits your specific CPU.
As anticipated, pushing the upper limit during heavy usage will noticeably reduce CPU lifespan. Decide yourself where to position between 1.38 and 1.425.
For my 1700 (also with 1st gen cores), I’m not overly concerned about voltage since my motherboard is quite old. At low loads, VCore sits near 1.425V, it doesn’t draw excessive current, and temperatures stay low.
Under high load conditions, where core current and temperature rise significantly, it drops all the way to 1.3V, placing you in a much safer range.
Hey everyone !
Apologies for the delayed response, I'm a bit occupied with work..
Appreciate all your advice! I'm thinking to go 3.8 ghz with 1.35 V.
Test the stability thoroughly with several hours of Real Bench and around 5-10 minutes of Prime95. Since Prime95 isn't very realistic, it's not necessary to run it for extended periods. However, you may encounter occasional heavy AVX workloads—such as decompressing files—and want to confirm it performs well without crashing.
