Hi, your Ryzen 5 3600 isn’t hitting the full 4200MHz even when idle. When gaming it drops to around 4000MHz. Idle temps are about 37°C and over 65°C during games. Could high CPU temperature be affecting performance? With a 1600 model you had stable temps of 30-32°C, using the same setup on the 3600, it seems temperature might be the issue. The second-hand CPU was purchased for £60 and tested for benchmarks—maybe it’s still under stress or not optimized for real-world use.

Max frequency, according to AMD, represents the highest single-core boost possible when thermal and power constraints are met. When multiple cores are running, aim for this limit only if you manually increase overclocks.
