Question Is This Overclocking ?

[simmyx]

I was told it's impossible to OC on a A320 M-H but im sure I have ?

This is on my Rzyen 5 3600 ( OCd to 3.9ghz )
Done the RAM to 3000mhz from 2400mhz

After

R5 3600:
Max Boost Clock
Up to 4.2GHz

Hi, thanks yes im aware of that. I just wanted to make sure I was correctly overclocking before I go any further

He's saying your CPU behaves like this at stock.

If you set it manually to that frequency, you underclocked it.

How so?
Before I OC'd it in W10 it said "3.59ghz" and now says " 3.89ghz "

Sorry but i'm new to this

Your base speed is 3.6GHz, boost is 4.2GHz, by setting it to 3.9GHz you limited the speeds lower than it could reach on its own.
Anything under 4.2GHz is underclocking.

Ah ok I sort of understand, thanks - I better change it back then

What about the RAM/Memory ? I changed it from 2400mhz to 3000mhz

 

[simmyx]

If I change to 4.5ghz this would be overclocking ? Not a good idea on a stock cooler though is it ?

 

[simmyx]

Ok done some reading and now I understand.

Basically the CPU will boost to 4.2ghz if it needs to, but if you manually overclock the CPU to lower than 4.2ghz it overrides it and disables the boost ?

I seriously doubt you'd ever be able to OC to 4.5GHz without some sub zero cooling. With Ryzen all core OC limit is practically at its boost clocks.
Edit.
Yes, boost stops as soon as you set frequency manually and it also stays at that frequency even when in idle state.

Thanks dude, got there in the end.
PC is fast enough so i'll leave it be.

What about RAM then ? I'm happy to OC that a bit. I changed the freq from 2400mhz to 3000mhz

RAM overclocking is beneficial for ryzen but it is a tad more complicated then overclocking a cpu. If you just raise the mhz and leave the timings on auto it might be your bios responds to your "overclock" with timings so lose, that your performance goes down in the end.
Read a guide to ram overclocking using dram calculator. Then get typhoon burner, ryzen dram calculator and aida64. With that suite you should be able to get some beneficial overclocking done.
