Hi everybody, I just upgrade R5 2600 on MSI B350M mortar instead of Ryzen 3 2200G ( OC 3.9GHZ daily )
I usally OC Ryzen 5 2600 at 3.9GHZ.
Is This safe for use daily with

Are you using the stock cooler?

So, just like I said there you will want to treat it the same as any other situation where you'd be overclocking. Honestly, B350 and X370 are definitely lacking compared to the newer chipset boards.

Overclocking performance was fine but, somewhat surprisingly, was not as strong as the ATX B350 Tomahawk. That’s despite the power delivery solutions being practically identical, except for an additional heatsink for MSI’s ATX part. Our chip would not hit its 4050MHz limit with the B350M Mortar, which is the same outcome we have seen from Gigabyte and ASRock B350 offerings at this price point.

That however was using an 8 core part, so for your 6 core model you should be ok but I'd really recommend a better cooler if you want an all core full time 3.9Ghz overclock. If you have really good case cooling you might be able to get away with the stock cooler at that speed. All you can do is try, and if thermal compliance is a problem then you'll know you need either better case cooling, a better CPU cooler or both.
