Hey everyone. I have the following setup: CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600, RAM is Predator HyperX 3200 at 3200MHz, motherboard is CL16 MOBO B450-A PRO MAX, power supply is VS 650 Corsair, graphics card is RTX 2060 Super, and I have air cooling with SPC Fortis 3 on the CPU plus five coolers. My RAM is compatible with overclocking up to 3600MHz, and I’m looking into CPU overclocking as well. Some people advise against overclocking the R5 3600, which is why I’m writing this. Can I push the CPU a bit to gain 2-4% more performance? Also, if anyone has similar specs or is close to this setup, please share your experiences with potential overclocks. Thanks!

It seems redundant to change the CPU type in a Zen 2 processor.

It seems you're questioning the value of the R5 3600 OC. Maybe you're wondering if it's worth the effort or if there are better alternatives.

You're all set with a 3600, and it's not a huge jump in performance, but I appreciate the hands-on work.

The voltage and speed you received are correct. The motherboard is compatible.

Tomahawk MAX, current reading is 4.1 @ 1.3(?) V. Sounds like you're tracking it.

No, the vcore and clockspeed remain stable when the system is idle.

Overclocking BIOS vs. Ryzen Master – both aim to boost performance, but they differ in approach and compatibility.

I've had a few tricky encounters with RM, so I tend to keep my distance from it.
