I can try to explain this for you. Your Ryzen 7 3700X supports single-core overclocking, though it may not be necessary for gaming. The results can vary depending on your setup and the specific settings you use. It's worth testing to see if it improves performance, but be aware that stability and power consumption might change.
You can access this via Ryzen Master. It's an application you can use to boost performance, run stress tests, and monitor your Ryzen CPU temperatures. This lets you tweak the clock speed of each core. Based on your PC's needs, a single-core overclock might be beneficial.
most motherboards include a per-core overclocking option, like an Asus board offering "sync all cores" or allowing individual adjustments. This means you can optimize each core separately, balancing clock speed based on how many cores are active—higher core count means lower individual speeds, while fewer cores enable faster performance.
You might want to consider this if you plan to overclock a single core. Do you have any instructions on the proper method? I’m new to CPU overclocking.
