Temperatures & Overclocking

Recently we revisited our temperature testing as, when we did our initial testing, we didn't have a bracket for the AM4 platform for the Corsair H115i, we have now included the result for the 1800X here, and will update our future results to fall in line with the Intel chips which were all tested using an AIO liquid cooler.

Overclocking
The latest BIOS from GIGABYTE open up several new options for overclocking, specifically with the memory timings. The Ryzen 3 chips are capable of using 3000-3200mhz memory no problem, and will help give some minor performance improvements. Overclocking the CPU proved to be a little strange as we found that any manual voltage on the VCORE resulted in an underperforming R3 1200 CPU, though this could be a BIOS issue. Using AUTO voltage, the 1200 CPU managed to reach 3.9GHz, with 3333MHz memory no sweat. *EDIT* The overclocking issue has been fixed with a BIOS update**
