Overclocking
Overclocking the Ryzen 7 3700X was easy as we could increase the voltage up to 1.4 V before we started getting high temperatures.
At that voltage setting, our maximum manual overclock was 4.225 GHz on all cores—significantly lower than the maximum boost frequency of the processor (4.4 GHz). As our performance numbers show, the manual overclock can only shine in specific applications that fully load all cores, in which the processor at stock would dial down its clocks automatically.
