I achieved an all core over clock on the same motherboard 4.4ghz at 1.35v. my cooler is a Corsair AIO 360mm dual fans. I feel though as if performance is still being left on the table but I have not tried tighter timings at 3600mhz and it currently set at 3733mhz. 16 16 16 32.

Single core cpuz was 534 multicore is around 5930. I can’t remember the other scores off the top of my head. I was frustrated that pbo was not reaching 4.4ghz so I just went for it all.

hello i do have a amd ryzen 3700x and i have it overclocked to 42.25Ghz in the bios on all cores im using a Thermaltake 240mm AIO Cinebench scores where pretty well of 4960cb score in Cinebench R20 however stock scores where 4899cb temperatures where in 60s and 70s not any higher then that. performance wise is well worth it. alot of games love higher clock speeds and i did notice their was fps improvements with higher overclocks on the CPU it self. one thing to also see when you leave pbo on watching the clock speeds they do drop while gaming or doing bench marking task. my option is just throw a aio on it or throw a custom loop on it and see where you can get it to since ryzen is temperature sensitive.

Thank you for the testing and this article. I’m in the process of waiting for my new computer system from Cyberpowerpc. I had to really stretch financially to make the purchase as I wanted to get the best processor and gpu that I could afford and not compromise as I did back in 11/2013 which was the last time I made my computer desktop purchase. As I chose the 3700x, I didn’t want to shy away from overclocking my processor. But I’m glad that you did the testing as I don’t plan to overclock my processor now. I wonder if the 3800x would lead to the same results and conclusion?

I seem to have done OK with my 3700x. Ive managed 4.35ghz on all cores and definetly notice an improvement in some benchmarks.

4.2ghz at 1.25V stable
5051 points in cinebench r20
Max 70*C with Grandis 2
Good result for me, as the default settings were sometimes peeking at over 85*C with max boost.
Mobo is ROG STRIX b450e

yes i did some overclock on my Ryzen 7 3700x
on Asus Rog Strix b450f gaming mother board
2x 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz Hyper X Fury
MSI GTX 1660Ti 6Gb Gaming X
with Power Supply 600W Super Flower Bronze King ECO

i set it to 4.4Ghz with no problem all cores on auto voltage
by only disable auto boost
im using AIO Cougar Helor 240
14 min cpu test 68*C
but i use to play games on 4.2Ghz ^^

I can overclock it easily to 4.4 ghz.
CPU-z single tread : 539
I even try it on 4.5 ghz but this is nog stable.

I have a noctua dh15 chromax cooler X570 Meg Ace motherboard with latest beta bios, i set all core to 4.3 and vcore to 1.2625 and I ran cinebench r20, the highest temp was 67 degrees Celsius, prime 95 with small ffts my temp went to 80 degrees Celsius. I kept voltage but bumped down to 4.2 all core overclock

I was able to run CPUz (validated) at 4.4 GHz with a high temp of 85C. Score was 5936/538. 3700x on an MSI Unify with Noctua D15S (with extra Noctua fan). 2x16GB G.Skill RipJaws 3600 cl16 at 3733 cl16.

I overclocked it to 4.05ghz and temps don’t go above 83 most of the time pretty happy with that

Best I could achieve was 4.2 running at 1.15 volts. Thats with a X570 board and a 240mm AIO. Cinebench was hitting 5040. Anything more and it would become unstable and shut the system down.

The last two days I’m overclocking my 3700x. So far this is what I’ve got:
1st cluster of cores running @4.2GHz
2nd cluster of cores running @3.9GHz
Voltage: 1.25v
Max temp of 70°c

When I’m home I will try to push the speeds a bit more while keeping 1.25v.

I gained 600 points in CB20 while the temps are 10-15°C lower

Stock is good too but it will push the voltages way too high. 3700x runs fine at 1.25v

Hi, in UK cool ambient temp. My 3700x is using a corsair 100x AIO 240mm, the radiator is outside of the case and the 2 static pressure fans are pulling cool air through.
Using only PBO on the motherboard and some 3333mt memory stable all core is 4300-4375 and single core hits 4450 on 3 cores when it’s really cold and 4-6 cores sit at 4400 during stress test using CPUz 16 thread and single threaded. I have 1usmus power plan also which helps with scheduling.
Temps are max 60c full load and idle around 24c, bios has undervolt preference on CPU core and SOC but only the – selected as a value there so it auto offsets. PBO set all to extreme LLC etc. Thanks I enjoyed the reading, a lot of people are not happy with their 3700x but i’ve always been chuffed with it at least meeting the target spec.
