Ryzen 5 1600 overclock

[He_162]

So I managed to get a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU to 3.7ghz on the stock cooler @1.3v (1.304v under load, 1.2875v idle)

I stress tested it for 24 hours, and got 73C as the max temp, so it's looking like I might have a little more headroom, but i'm fine with the 3.7ghz, it matches the 3.7ghz I got with my old i5-4590 (BCLK overclocked that thing to 4.1ghz!)

Here are my questions:
-Did I get a good quality chip?

-Has anyone gotten this speed at lower voltages, and is stable?

-At what temps is it dangerous to run a Ryzen CPU, I assume anything above 79C is too hot for continued use?
-What are your cinebench R.15 scores at your own personal overclocks?

Its hard to say until you try and go further, for me and my 1700 I have a hard voltage wall at 4GHz so I can do 4 but not 4.025. Though 1.3V is about max for the stock cooler so don't go further until you change the cooler. Still thats a decent overclock for a free cooler.

stay there on the stock cooler...

No further voltage increases?

I'll see how much higher it will clock before crashing, and then I'll determine if it's worth getting a better cooler.

Would you be kind enough to post some benchmark results in things like Cinebench as I'm looking to get a Ryzen chip myself but it's hard to see the performance difference. Thanks.

The wraith spire will struggle to run for long above 1.3V its only a 95W TDP cooler

I ran two 24 hour stress tests on it at 1.3v and it never went above 73C, this was at 3.7ghz.

Indeed, i'll be back with those in about 5 minutes, I've got a whole range of them.

Bear in mind I was using an 1700 so it can get hotter than yours but i still don't expect the wraith spire to cope much higher than 1.3V. What temps you got at 1.3 is largely irrelevant as temperature does not scale linearly with voltage for example it could run far hotter at 1.31 even though it seems like a small increase.

I havent got time to run CB 15 or anything as im going to bed (UK) but here is a benchmark on cpu-z with my 1700 @ 4GHz. The darker bar is the 6700k's score also at 4GHz (7700k is not within cpu-z for reference)

Ryzen 5 1600:

These scores were all the exact same after 10 runs each, so I saved them after that.

3725mhz = 1252 score

3700mhz = 1244 score

3650mhz = 1226 score

3600mhz = 1215 score

3200mhz = 1143 score

(3200 mhz before any bios updates was originally 1120 score)

 

These were all done at 1.3v, and all of them peaked at 68C during the testing I did, except for the original two 3200 mhz tests, which peaked at 64C, at stock voltage.

Wow! It's better than an i7 6700k! An R5 will definitely beat my i5 4460 :P. Just wondering how video renders and gaming at 1080p will be like!

I don't like using CPU-Z, as I got my Ryzen 5 1600 to continually get better scores than any other intel 6 core could on there despite them being almost equal in actual performance, and cinebench is much more trustworthy when it comes to how much faster a CPU actually is, perhaps CPUZ is better with the most recent updates addressing Ryzen getting really high scores.

It's got twice as many cores!

 

The 6 core Ryzen CPU's will be around 60% faster in video encoding, and will get similar maximum frames to an i5-7400, but get much higher average frames than most i5's.

Do you have any frame averages for games in 1080p? Also video editing performance and rendering, if you have any timings on those I would love to see what you got!

Best CB 15 score I could get without a clean install

Ok! As soon as I get the money I'm definitely putting Ryzen in my system, as it's cheap and good in performance.

 

i know the 'it's better than an i7 6700k' was a bit of an understatement but I've never owned high end hardware so getting Ryzen will be amazing for me, as it's really cheap for the performance

Nice! I have been testing with a semi-clean install. (Downloaded over 20 games since install, and benchmarking programs, i.e. CPUZ, Cinebench, heaven benchmark, etc.

Yes I do, I have a GTX 1060 though, so it will get whatever the GTX 1060's max frames will be in games, I'm GPU bottlenecked, so those tests are kinda pointless, heres an article on what you can get with a GTX 1060:

From what I have seen, you get the same frames as any other 6 core CPU will with a 1060, but if you get a GTX 1070 or better, you will see it getting 5 - 6% lower maximum frames, and higher minimums than most intel 4 cores, and if you have a 1080, you will start to see it getting lower frames than on intel rigs, simply because it isn't processing as many frames, it is however, delivering them more smoothly, and more often at a minimum.
