Clock Frequencies

Overclocking

Thanks to its unlocked multiplier, overclocking the Athlon 3000G is easy, and worked well. We reached 4.0 GHz within minutes with only minor voltage increases. Reaching 4.1 GHz required well over 1.4 V, and 4.2 GHz was never stable despite high voltage and 240 mm AIO watercooling.

GPU Overclocking

GPU overclocking is possible through the motherboard BIOS (Wattman in Radeon Settings is not available on the Athlon 3000G). We saw amazing overclocking potential that let us go from the default GPU frequency of 1,100 MHz up to 1,660 MHz, at which point we started seeing rendering artifacts in games. This is a 50% clock increase—very impressive.
