Ryzen 7 3800X Overclocking

The Ryzen 7 3800X overclocks well, just ahead of the speed we managed to obtain from the Ryzen 7 3700X. That topped out at 4.4 GHz across the eight cores, whereas the Ryzen 7 3800X manages to hit 4.44 GHz whilst also running our Corsair Vengeance RGB kit at nearly rated clocks. Anyone who recalls the lesser memory performance of the earlier Ryzen generations will appreciate the effort AMD have put into fixing this slight weakness.
