Overclocking

The Ryzen 5 3600 comes out of the box with a boost clock close to its ultimate performance, but you can squeeze a little more out if you have the cooling and time to fettle it to its maximum. You can either commit to DDR4 performance which gave us 4600 MHz with a 4.14 GHz CPU overclock, or you can put all your eggs in the CPU basket which led to us obtaining a 4.3 GHz CPU overclock with 3600 MHz DDR4.
