overclocking Ryzen 5 2600x overclocking to 4.7 ghz

[bluebuffalo831]

so i have a Ryzen 5 2600x that i was overclocking and i got the idea to hang my 240 rad out the window because it was -20 outside. I had the r5 at 4.7 ghz at 1.475v witch is a little much i know. what do you guys think of this and how fast have you guys push your CPUs.

No Ryzen 5 2600X will ever reach 4.7ghz on a 240mm AiO mate, something's clearly wrong here.

the CPU was not stable but it got through 1 cinabench run i have yet to try and hit that speed again i will have to wait for winter to try it again

What were you using to verify your speeds?  Or did you manually set the multiplier to 4.7GHz?

He did say it was super cold.  

[bluebuffalo831]

manually and i used cpuZ the cpu was only getting to about 30c when i had the fans in a push pull confi at max rpm

Awesome.  I used the winter to get my best benchmark scores too, but I live in a much warmer climate and I saw no where close to your temps.

@The Blackhat has pushed his i5 to 5.1GHz or something on a smaller Noctua IIRC, again by sticking it outside when it was cold out or something.

i was amazed by how i got it to go that far i wish i had more time to try it on my r5 1600. do you guys think i won the silicon lottery or what.

also if my mom let me i would try ln2 but see said it was too dangerous 

[bluebuffalo831]

are you guys excited for Zen 2 to launch i cant wait to get my hands on one of the chips

what were you overclocking

 

[nick name]

A 2700X and a 1070 ti.  I have the highest Firestrike score for my configuration.  So that's nice.  

[bluebuffalo831]

oo thats nice what were your speeds

another question i am thinking of getting a gtx 1080 i have  found one on ebay for 325

With only an small air cooler, and regular room temperatures, I got my 2600 to 4540. No stability whatsoever, but it lasted long enough to get a hwbot submission.

The X are binned better so that alone could buy you maybe another hundred MHz, and the substantial cooling could allow for the rest.

Actually I see that as quite an achievement. Cinebench takes long enough to run that you can't throw all caution to the wind. I am curious, did you take any precautions in case the AIO liquid froze? Also, was the -20 C or F? Either way, that's pretty cold!

 

I had debated buying a walk-in commercial grade freezer just for overclocking before... That's -18C although I'd have to rely on thermal mass for runs as I doubt it could cool a continuous OC load. Never got one in the end, nowhere to put it!

[bluebuffalo831]

thats -20 F my mistake it was pretty fun and i cant wait to try it again. it was a big accomplishment for me because i am only 15

[bluebuffalo831]

do you guy think a GTX 1080 would be a good upgrade for this system while i wait for zen 2

[Dreamer758]

Dosent really matter how cold it is outside AIOs have really low water flow compared to a custom loop

[bluebuffalo831]

That is true but it had Enough flow to keep it at -30f
