You can OC this or not and it is super fast. Personally if I want to OC I just use the asus software that came with my board. Otherwise make sure you have an after market cooler. This chip gets hot. I was able to get it to 4.8 GHz! I would rather have this chip last a long time than OC it. You won't notice that much of a difference between 4.2 and 4.8.
Awesome Product! Easy to overclock! With an offset and an Under-volt got me to 4.852Ghz. Using CPU-Z benchmark gave me a single score of 656.3 and a Multi Thread score of 4966.6 . I have no complaints, General feel, feels basically the same, but more refined. My gaming experience feels much better much smoother. Running an RTX 2060 Super with it,seems so much better performing now. It's also nice to know I can save a little energy too.
I’m very happy with the quality and speed of the product compared to the r5 3600. Even thought the price was I bit inflated, it was way less than anywhere else.
Speed and temps using a Noctua cooler are awesome! I only had one issue and it's small. Before playing on Steam I have to make sure to close Dropbox (v113.4.507) or games will stutter after a few minutes into playing. This was an upgrade from an older chip and I didn't have to do this before.
