AMD Ryzen 3 3100 & 3300X CPU Review

Overclocking

Overclocking these CPUs is pretty straight forward. As you can expect from ANY Ryzen CPU, they’re fully unlocked and it’s as simple as changing the multiplier in the BIOS or using the Ryzen Master Utility to dial in the required settings. We managed to take the Ryzen 3100 to 4.6 GHz on all cores, and the 3300X to 4.6 GHz on all cores. So, you might expect them to perform the same, right? Wrong! You can clearly see the benefits of the 3300X and its CCX and shared memory design as it still retains a comfortable lead.

3DMark scores saw a noticeable improvement. Overclocked, the 3300X was scoring really well throughout. However, you’ll have to manage the increased heat so an aftermarket cooler would be needed. I can’t see many people pushing these CPUs that hard though, they work great as they are and given their affordable prices, a big after market cooler seems like a big push for that price range.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
