Try 4.4 with lower voltage
What are you using for testing temps and stability?
Motherboard is using auto voltage because it is entry level motherboard. It OC'ed to itself to auto GHZ but if i use 4GHZ for processor base frequency, it is getting boost to 4.44GHz. I can't change coltage.
For 3.9 GHz base frequency, boost is 4.21GHz.
For 3.8 GHz base frequency, boost is 3.99GHz.
For 3.6 GHz base frequency, boost is 3.99GHz but all cores averages are 3.8GHZ.
For 4.44GHz(Boost), i don't think it is stable due to the fact that in games, audio is not responding sometimes.
For 4.21GHz(Boost), i didn't use enough for reflecting but it reaches 78C.
For 3.99GHz(base is 3.8Ghz), it is working well and it only reaches 60C
For base is 3.6GHZ, it have worked well already.
I tested with Far Cry 5(1080p Ultra), results are:
4.44GHz is getting 93 FPS(NOT ALL CORES).
3.99 GHz all cores is getting 90 FPS.
Normal profile is getting 88FPS.
For me, I am thinking 3.99GHz all cores for stability and temperature.
What should i do?
I can't speak for anyone else...but if I owned your system I wouldn't even consider an upgrade. That is...if your storage drive is of adequate size? You didn't mention this. IF it was smaller than 500GB's...I'd probably upgrade only that part if it was my system.
Other than this...I'd just be happy with what I have and passively put aside some cash for a future build. I usually wait until I see something that comes along that just feels right as an upgrade and that is what I did with my build. I waited three years....with patience.
I could not be happier with my system...
. It's not the fastest...but for me, it is absolutely perfect AND my Ryzen 5 2600/RX 580 combo is probably no faster than yours...it's probably slower.
R5 2600 Vs. i7-4790K
Are you giving that 4790 enough credit? Familiarity breeds...well, you know.

Firstly, thanks for all replies in this thread. I think you are right.
I don't know my how i am thinking actually. Occasionally, i am thinking DDR3 systems are getting ages and change the sell price. Sometimes, i7 4790 is nice for me but BF5's FPS are really bad. I'm getting 75-80FPS in ultra with drops. If i choose play with Ray Tracing, CPU usage is 100% and it is dropping in 30FPS. Even, GTX 1660S is getting 50-60FPS.
Nevertheless, I think that i will sell CPU when DDR5 releases. Well, my thought is changing with prices.
