Hi guys, I just want to share my story after my 1st time overclocking my little 3600x CPU with 2 different coolers.
My specs are:
CPU: 3600x
Coolers: CoolerMaster MA410M and Noctua D15s Chromax.black
Ram: Gskill Trident Z RGB 3200 cl16 2x8Gb
Case: Lianli II Mesh RGB, 3 front intake, 1 rear ex, 2 bot intake.
My first cooler was CoolerMaster MA410M. With this one, I could only OC my 3600x to 4.2Ghz all core, with 1.175v, after that no matter what I tried, I could not even reach 4.250. The temperature during 30min Cinebench r23 peaked at 78C. I thought that I did not win any lottery
Then after 10 months using that cooler, I could not resist the Noctua D15s Chromax.black so I bought it, with the idea of upgrading 3600x to 5900x. The funny thing is with the D15s Chromax.black, now my 3600x is reaching 4.4ghz all core with 1.32v, around 83C on Cinebench r23 test. 4.2Ghz with 1.175v, the difference in temperatures are 14degrees (78 then and 64 now). This makes me kinda confuse about my silicon lottery, whether i won one or not at all, but I'm just too happy with my Noctua.
I also need to mention that before this, the last time I did something with a PC was 2005, when I was in high school, so you guys can imagine that all of these stuffs nowadays is like a whole new world to me. The fulfilling feeling after doing research and trying over and over again to reach some goals with my own PC is still the same, like the first time I finished my Lego.
Now I'm kinda curious about OC my Ram. I tried 3 times with the 1usmus software, but it did not work. My goal is to reach 3600.
Please feel free to share your opinions or advice.
