With my Ryzen 5 3600 it boosts to 4.2, but the turbo only uses one core. If I upgrade it to 4.2 or 4.3, will all six cores run at that speed continuously? Or will they still idle but still reach that level without boosting? I have plenty of questions and think watching a Linux tutorial would help xD.
I noticed the voltage in the bios was 1.37V, but others suggest staying under 1.35V. I adjusted the offset to 42 and lowered the voltage to 1.275V, which should help keep things cooler.
It depends on the setup—your setup keeps the clock steady as long as the voltage stays within safe limits. Using 4.2 seems to maintain stability, and since it doesn’t drop below 4196, the core locks should remain intact. As long as the voltage is appropriate, it shouldn’t harm the lifespan.
