heatpipes only give you one or 2 hours max at full speed though ...

and minuses
Costs 5 - 10x price of budget coolers
Weighs a lot compared to budget coolers (watch out for die crush)
Overclocking doesn't go as far as it used to (even 10+% for Ryzen is pushing it).

I think we are already at the point where the best you can go is one category higher through overclocking, example: overclock a 3600 you'll get performance close to stock 3600x (just an example).

Overclocking really looking like expensive, low-return activity. Personally I just recommend a budget cooler and stay within stock, unless you have the money to replace the processor.

if you buy ryzen 3600 and up, it's better to get a 6 heatpipe cooler, so there is direct contact to a pipe to the sides.
4 heatpipe cooler usually doesn't cover to the side enough.

I got my apu from 3.5ghz to 4.0ghz (15% increase) and my gpu from 1100mhz to 1615mhz (45% increase). System is stable after torture test, max temp at 76°C. Can still increase, but i will stop here for now

OK keep monitoring it, electromigration is an issue the smaller the node size. Let us know when it stops booting properly hmm.gif
