[SOLVED] Can the 2600 stock cooler handle OC, if so, how much?

[animedragon5010dez]

I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and I want to overclock to the max the stock cooler can handle but I would like to know how much I can overclock. I am going to upgrade the cooler in about 6 months so I just want to get the max FPS I can right now. Also I have the nzxt h500 case and b450 gaming plus.

Yes to a certain degree, it will depend on a few factors, ambient temps, intake/exhaust of your case and the OC that is applied. You will have to check and monitor temps when you get everything together

In a good airflow case it can match stock all core speeds (precision boost speeds that is)of a 2600x typically, if you get a good chip might go a bit above it
