R5 2600 OC on stock cooler

[Cam B]

What is a stable overclock for the stock cooler on Ryzen 5 2600. Wanting to try it with the air cooler before my liquid aio arrives

Silicon lottery is a big part in the overclock you get, so no one can tell you specifically

 

OC until either your temps get too high or it's unstable

Stealth is a bit on the lighter side unfortunately...even the Spire can barely handle 1.375v on my 1600.

 

I'd say lock it down to 3.7ghz at the lowest stable voltage and call it a day until/unless you upgrade to something beefier.

 

On a side note, I've got great experience with the Arctic Freezer 33 - was like $25 on sale and keeps my wife's 8700 at 4.3ghz all day at very low temperature, and that's with Intel's toothpaste.

Yea if you wanna OC the 3600 I'd get a different cooler, even if its just a sub $50 cooler it will be a lot better for your thermals over the stock 3600 one

 

You can snag the AMD Max cooler on Amazon for under $35 and that'll do fine if you wanna keep AMDs looks

It's a really cool looking cooler.

 

My buddy just got a 3800x and is using a noctua ndh15 and giving me the oem wraith prism to use on my 1600.....can't wait until he comes I to town lmao

 

So excited

 

Also misread about your cooler situation. If you are swapping to an AIO I understand most can hit 4.0-4.2 pretty reasonably and under 1.45v. id aim for those values once your aio comes in
