The new Ryzen 3 3100 from AMD emerged as an excellent low-cost processor in our review, capable of offering performance that three years ago were the prerogative of the Core i7-7700K, then top of the range from Intel. In short, if you want to create a low-cost gaming PC, it is an option to consider alongside a balanced GPU to play in Full HD.
As often happens, the processor has not only ended up in the hands of reviewers, but also of overclocker like the renowned Taiwanese TSAIK, which pushed AMD's new quad-core based on Zen 2 architecture up to almost 6 GHz, obviously with the aid of liquid nitrogen. Frequency d 5923 MHz was reached on a motherboard MSI MAG X570 WiFi Tomahawk, just introduced (had been anticipated at CES) on the market by the company and still not traceable in Italy.
TSAIK did not disable cores and threads to bring the Ryzen 3 3100 to that frequency, while it changed the voltage to 1.45V. You can find the page dedicated on HWBot to what remains for now the only nitrogen overclocking of this new CPU at this address. Recall that the Ryzen 3 3100 is set at 3.6 GHz / 3.9 GHz, it has 18 MB of cache in total (16 MB L3 + 2 MB L2), a TDP of 65 watts.
As for the older brother 3300X there are no extreme OC attempts at the moment. The frequency of 5.92 GHz is a breath away from 6.04 GHz reached by TSAIK himself with a Ryzen 9 3950X (16C / 32T) fully enabled on an MSI MEG X570 Godlike motherboard.
