Hi, could anyone guide me to safely overclock CPU & GPU of my desktop rig?
Full detail CPU-Z here => https://valid.x86.fr/85kdy1

clock speed & ram together?

if its safe to try

as usual check temperature all the time.
upgrade fan / water cooling to stable

checking it right now. cpu is 49, gpu is 61. is that normal?

make cpu go up 100% constant a few minit & measure again

It seem get hot, about 80 degrees, is that normal?
Do I need upgrade stock fan cooler of my Ryzen 5 3600 cpu?

80'c to run original speed is ok lah.
after overclock it will gain much more heats, so u need upgrade

what temperature you feel is dangerous level, sir?

would I need to upgrade my cpu fan, any suggestion model?

cpu will not danger at all. bila panas it just cut speed automatically.
what ppl worry is other components nearby cannot tahan.
that why ppl mod water cooling to radiator letak outside casing. kan

id say 80-90'c is not suitable for long run. plastic melt lol. keep it below 80'c

I see, so CPU does have safety feature, eh?
I have to take care other components? How's this set up, is it good enough?



I'm a bit unsure about the heated wind of my GPU GTX1660 trying to go out of casing . The card's two fans is blowing downwards, and bit blocked by the partition box down there (which keeps harddisk inside).

Right now my desktop is placed on carpet floor, not on table. I moved it to my office. Due to the space & slight noise it makes, I have to keep it under the table.

very tight space. two front fan not efficient enough, will create noise becos the front panel is not see thru type.

back fan rebut angin with middle cpu fan. possible to adjust high/ low a bit ?

actually above suggestion only help minor. its better we change original heatsink to:

a) heatpipe cooler. raise up the heat from mobo. straight blow out casing. can use additional fan if acceptable nosie

b) water cooler also good. cost more. result similar.
tapi silent yeah

That casing is crap & that heatsink is crap too, so don't bother overclocking

Ryzen 3600 max temp is 95c, but even 77c is too hot for me (but that's just me).
And the stock cooler is best for stock speeds. I have the same experience with my Ryzen 2700. I got 3.3GHz at 77c. Changed the cooler and temps dropped to 53c. Huge difference.

If you want to overclock I would suggest you change your cooler to something beefier. Which model, depends on whether you want air cooling or liquid cooling, and how far you want to overclock.

have decided to sell it off, no OC done.
however, taken all advice for future test, thanks everyone!
