[SOLVED] Is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition enough to allow overclocking of a Ryzen 7 3700x?

Question is in the title.

This Processor :
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Zen/AMD-Ryzen 7 3700X.html
Has a TDP of 65W

The Hyper 212 Black edition can provide heat dissipation for up to 150W.
It does not appear to be a clear spec on the Cooler Master Website, but I know that several On-Line Reviewers have done back-to-back comparisons of Air- Water- and AIO-Coolers and it has met this spec.
This may help : (Yes the EVO is essentially the same cooler.)

Just GOOGLE - ''cpu air cooler comparisons'' to research it further.

So, YES, it will cool an OverCLOCK just fine! However, if you can produce ANYWHERE NEAR 150W with the CPU listed above, IT'S ALREADY TOAST!

But if you are really worried about it, max it out with the optional push-pull configuration.
AND, make damn sure you have enough airflow through your case!!
AND, be sure you have a GOOD QUALITY, NAME BRAND, TIER 1 POWER SUPPLY!!

No.

Also, don't overclock Ryzen 3000. They are not Intel cpus and shouldn't be treated the same either, via the all too popular all-core OCs.
The chips are temperature sensitive - very similar to Nvidia's 10, 16, and 20 series in that regard.
What all-core OCs manage to do on Ryzen 3000:
-is increase the power consumed and temps by alot
-because of the increase in power consumed and higher temps detected, it doesn't boost as high, because screw static frequency overclocks
-the user has stopped it from hitting it's max boost clock when it needs to.
It performs worse that way.

The secret is in the memory speed and timings. Look up Ryzen Dram Calculator and Ryzen memory guides.
Leave the cpu alone.
