Can you overclock the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with Wraith Prism stock cooler?
(Windows Phone Central)

Best answer: AMD automatically overclocks the Ryzen 9 3900X based on available cooling headroom and system stability. The CPU will boost to higher clock speeds using the stock Wraith Prism cooler, but you`ll want to move to an aftermarket solution like the Noctua NH-D15 if you wish to push the processor further and/or enjoy quieter operation. Buy your own Ryzen: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X ($500 at Amazon) Better air cooler: Noctua NH-D15 ($90 at Amazon) Boosting the Ryzen with Wraith Prism Stock coolers have come a long way. While Intel is seemingly lagging behind AMD in this area, just how far is it possible to push the Ryzen 9 3900X before you need to swap it out for better air or liquid cooling? If you plan on using the AMD supplied Wraith Prism cooler, you`ll have to bear in mind that this cooler isn`t specifically designed for overclocking. It`s meant to be paired with a standard, factory-set Ryzen 9 3900X. It`s more than capable of handling that heat output....
