Just overclocked my cpu (Ryzen 3 3200g) to 4Ghz.
Now the idle temp is usually like 35-43 degrees Celsius.
I also pumped my fans a bit, just incase.
Are the temps okay? Ive heard other ppl achieved the goal.
Keep in mind, i have a cramped case and a bad airflow.
Im not worried about APU, im not using that.
 
Hey there,

Well, it's not the idle temps that are important. What's important is the temp when playing a gaming load, or putting a stress load on. If your temps go over 80c when testing (Try Cinebench R23) then you may need to look at lowering the clockspeed to reduce temps a little.

50C is definitely not an issue, you're actually running very cool. Temp shouldn't be a concern until it get's in the upper 80C range. I wouldn't worry at all especially if you haven't messed with the CPU voltages too much.
