ok so I upgraded to ryzen 5 3600 a couple weeks back and its been working good but since a couple weeks ryzen master has been setting the mode into "manual" instead of the "default" like I had it. and in manual its at 3600mhz, so basically locked at the base speed. So whenever gaming or testing I would switch it to default so it can boost to 4200mhz. In the default setting my core voltages would go up to 1.42-1.44 which is supposed to be "normal" for the 3000 series AMD. Now in default while gaming my temps would be around 55-59 and idle would jump from 35-41. So now in manual mode I have set the speed to 4200mhz and lowered the voltages to 1.325v which is what I've seen some people do and runs fine. With this my temps are around 36-38 as I'm writing this and ryzen master and msi afterburner are open. I've played a game with these settings and seemed to run fine temps at around 55-56 but speed was closer to the target speed it was about 4150mhz. In the default setting I think I got to about 4050 and would maybe only peak at like 4200. I didn't change any other settings other than speed and voltages. And I only did it in ryzen master didn't change anything in bios. I have my windows power plan set to Ryzen Balanced. I an using a Corsair h150i for the cooling. Let me know if those settings are anything good and how I should properly set it up. Also, I ran cinebench 20 the other day and my multi core score was lower than what I saw others get. Other got
3500-ish I only go to 3232. But single core was 461 which is supposedly almost matching a i7-7700. Pretty sure it was in the default setting while running the test.

Edit: Since changing the setting and trying to run cinebench either 15 or 20 I got BSOD. One for "Memory management" which I didn't touch memory setting. and the second was for apc index mismatch. None of which I've gotten before. After this happened I changed it back to default setting and it ran cinebench 15 fine with a score around 1400. I also just ran a stress test for about 5-6 minutes and temps stayed at around 73 with speed being 3949mhz and 1.36v

I personally do NOT recommend using Ryzen master to OC your CPU.
I have a Ryzen 7 3700x on an Asus ROG strix X470 MB and I just enabled PBO in the BIOS and Only use Ryzen Master to monitor my CPU temps.
If you want to OC your 3600, you really should take the time to read a few Ryzen 3000 OC guides and change the settings in your BIOS to OC it.
