Overclocking My System Advice for CPU, RAM, and GPU

I noticed a pretty big difference from 3600XT to 5600X, its still a good CPU. 57X3D is probably what you should be aiming for, or maybe a cheap 5600X3D if you can find one. And if you do hold onto it, its pretty rare lol..

Thanks for your reply! By the way, do you think it’s possible to get CL14 or CL12 timings on 3200MHz RAM instead of going for 3600MHz? Also, I noticed something my GPU supports 4.0, but since my motherboard doesn’t support 4.0, it should be running on 3.0. But why is it running on x8 instead of x16? Theoretically, PCIe 3.0 x16 and 4.0 x8 provide the same bandwidth, so could there be an issue with that?

You can check GPU database or reviews to be sure, but 6600 just works on x8 iirc. It’s not a big deal for this GPU, @W1zzard tested the more powerful 6600 xt and the loss is 2% I think.
