Just upgraded from a Q6600 GTX470 to R5 3600X 2080

Year 2007:
Q6600 2.4 to 3.6Ghz, GTX8800, Quad RAID0 4x 80GB
Back in the days when you had to drill holes in the tower for ventilation & water cooling was like huh!

Year 2010:
When the water cooling reached the end of its tether I got an Antec Gaming 900 case + GTX 470 & the old B3 Quad now refused to do over stock 2.4Ghz, so a friend gave me his old G0 Q6600 which I ran until last week at 3.4Ghz on air.

Last week I upgraded to a Ryzen 2400G midi tower thing but was not blown away & concerned that gaming at 4k with eg. a Radeon 590 would be toasty & would not do 4k very well.

Sold my Xbox X with dozens of games & just upgraded to this after being out the game for a decade.
A friend helped me with the list & I researched best I could. I play games & use Lightroom, VBox etc. Perhaps an Intel i5 9600k would have been better? Though I was drawn to Ryzen. The BIOS just boggles me but tried a simple all core overclock to 4.4Ghz which it did at 1.1v & was happy in Prime95. At stock it only boosts to 4.25Ghz even with an auto voltage of 1.4v :O Need to figure it out if anyone can help?
Tried overclocking the 2080 & its happy sitting in Kombuster at 2000Mhz / 7700Mhz -not tried any more as its doing 75c. Though it has a couple of fans blowing onto it undeath

Ryzen 5 3600X 6/12
3600Mhz 8 pack
Asus RTX 2080 DUAL OC
Asus TUF Gaming x570 Plus
Tor Pro full tower
Corsair Hydro H100X
Corsair Professional series HX850 platinum
M.2 Corsair Forc3 MP510 480GB
(Using existing 2x1TB in RAID0)

Tried a few games, finally GTA5 over 720p 30fps
Getting my head around the BIOS & overclocking, or actually getting it to boost properly to 4.4.

Thanks yes will do some more testing.
I thought no way it can do all cores 4.4 at 1.1v.
It's not crashed yet, which in old school money means you're not pushing it enough but AMD seem to be pre-clocking these days?

Got a 480gb m.2 & wow.
Yeah need replace the old 1tb mechanical drives even if they're in raid0.

Id be happy if I ever saw the 3600X hit its stock boost clock of 4.4

Is the top pic a Swiftech watercooling setup?

Yeah it was Swiftech. Don't think there was AIO systems back then. Before that I put 2x nvidia 7800 on water with a Zalman resonator (bad idea).

Gone all red, its gonna be way faster now
Also got it boosting to 4.5 on 2 cores
