I just set my VCore on auto and Dynamic VCore sa Gigabyte B450i board ko to its lowest and just set XMP profile for added performance. Ok na ko sa boost when gaming kahit upto 4.075GHz lang. 3600 cooled by Cryorig M9A. Mura lang although I'm thinking if may improvement if Noctua U9S (cooler height limitation due to my ITX case). These days nasa 45C ang idle and around 75 when gaming. Lower if masmaraming ventilation ang case which mine doesn't.

Same tayo, when I had it on stock setup.

You're right... medyo elusive yung 4.2GHz all-cores. As you force the cores past 4.1GHz, I think, diminishing returns na.

So I guess I should be satisfied with how fast my 3600 could go. As they say, CPU is like lottery.... swertehan lang na madampot mo medyo mataas ang binning.
