Overclocking Ryzen 5 3600?
Overclocking Ryzen 5 3600?
If you're using a 60hz monitor and maintaining 60 fps in all your games, don't overclock—try undervolting or even slightly underclocking the CPU. For high refresh rate monitors that don’t hit their maximum, push the CPU up to around 90% before maximizing GPU performance. It makes sense to save on power instead of wasting it.
I would allow the BIOS to handle its own operations since upgrading the CPU would lead to instability, resulting in only a few extra frames—not worth it. It's a powerful CPU, so I recommend setting the BIOS to optimized defaults and ensuring D.O.C.P is enabled. That setup delivers a solid 1080p at 60fps for AAA games.
