RYZEN 5 3600 (NON-OVERCLOCKED)

The Ryzen 5 3600 chipset is probably providing an awesome performance in a base clock speed of 3.6GHz. If it is provided with a proper cooling then one should get at-least 4.0GHz clock speed on base form, thus imagine the performance with a proper cooling system on this processor. It is always recommended to have a proper cooling system while purchasing the RYZEN 5 3600, mainly when it is being purchased this Editing, Gaming, 4k in terms of heavy usage.

Let me show the base clock performance of RYXEN 5 3600 with NZXT M22 AIO & ASROCK B450 STEEL LEGEND

The above images clearly illustrate and shows that the performance level obtained is maximum, close to that of the performance of Ryzen 5 3600 . Thus, it is proved that proper cooling is always required for Ryzen.

RYZEN 5 3600 (OVERCLOCKED)

It would be now shown that by what maximum extent, it is possible to overclock the Ryzen-5 3600, and how much faster it would become with a difference of base clock speed, in the same cooling as stated above, whether overclocking will match the same performance of base clock speed of Ryzen 5 3600X. The peripherals that are being used for overclocking and benchmarking the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 overclocking are: –

• Motherboard- ASROCKB450 STEEL LEGEND
• Memory- CORSAIR 16 GB DDR4 3000MHz
• Graphics Card- MSI 1050TI overclocked dual fan
• Storage- WD GREEN M.2 480gb
• Monitor- SAMSUNG 27inch curved LED
• Power Supply-Corsair VS650
• Cooling CPU – NZXT M22
• Operating System – Windows 10 pro x64

When it has already been decided to overclock the Ryzen-5 3600 CPU, then one should also consider about cooling, it would be better to have a stealth cooler but it is never recommended to overclock, the Ryzen-5 3600 overclock, to cool in a stock cooler.

One will have to click on the right options, while overclocking the Ryzen 5 3600 by simply increasing the multiplier from the motherboard UEFI BIOS. Here it is shown clearly, the management and procedures to overclock the Ryzen-5 3600 processor at a speed of 4.15GHz because increasing the speed may result in the damage of the system stabilization.

As it can be observed that the speed of our Ryzen-5 3600 overclocked(4.15GHz) is higher when compared to the base clock speed of the Ryzen-5 3600x.

BENCHMARK TEST OF RYZEN 5 3600

After the starting of a benchmark test of the processor based on its performance test with the Ryzen-5 3600, it is seen that: At non-overclocking we get a score of 16332 and when overclocked we get a score of 20543. The image following will clearly depict the capability of the processor, showing its comparison with I9, I7 and many more.

So, the comparison between the two processors can be clearly seen from the scores obtained.

While running CPU mark score of the processor, the high-end score is obtained as well as the low-end score with the model average score is verified. Here the CPU score is 16332 with 76% percentile.

Here RYZEN 5 3600 provide a score of

• MODEL AVERAGE – 17900
• MODEL MINIMUM – 2694
• MODEL MAXIMUM –21065(overclocked)

After running the RYZEN-5 3600 in base clock speed at world ranking CPU-z score we got the

• World Average score – 11082
• World Minimum score – 88
• World Maximum score – 95924

Performance test, tells us how good a processor is in regular computing activities such as web browsing, video conferencing, apps start-up times, productivity, and digital content creation. In this benchmark, the AMD Ryzen-5 3600 overclocked to 4.15 GHz.

Temperature

So, while using the Ryzen 5 3600 in a single core purpose one will get an average temperature ranging between 50°-65°(Celsius). While gaming Ryzen 5 3600 will operate between a temperature range of 60°- 85° (Celsius). While streaming or video editing 4K videos, the temperature may fluctuate and rise up to 95° C. In a processor the cooling system is the most necessary thing required for performance. So, spending money on Ryzen is a wise decision as it comes packed with features of good cooling.

Will you choose to buy AMD RYZEN 5 3600 and overclock it?

So, as seen from the above tests and information collected after its proper usage, it can be said that there is absolutely no need to spend more money on the AMD RYZEN 5 3600X. As the processor is faster when configured properly paired with its necessary equipment, without the need to overclock it every time. However, if one wishes to overclock the Ryzen 5 3600, one needs to buy a new cooler thus making it an awesome build and a beast performer considering every aspect, be it gaming, 4K video editing or probably anything which one wants to perform with the system.
