R5 1600 safe voltages

[nicobombai]

Hi guys,

 

Wanna ask for some advice regarding overclocking my R5 1600.

 

I started with 3.8ghz on stock cooler @1.296v, but if i to run prime95, the CPU utilization drops.. Is it normal or?

I'm trying to play games on it so far there's no problem.

 

Oh and 1 more thing, is the voltage considered okay for daily use? or should i stay on 3.7ghz running at stock voltages?

 

In the future i will get a better HSF for the CPU..

 

Thanks in advance.

That voltage is actually pretty low for your overclock and it's perfectly fine. You can go up to 1.35 and you are fine which means you have room for even more overclocking maybe up to 4.0GHz

Is 1.35v safe for daily use? cos i heard going above 1.3v is not that good for daily use (well that's what i heard from 1-2 other guys).

 

Dang, if i can reach 4ghz i will be happy for sure lol.

AMD says everything up to 1.45 is safe as long as you have proper cooling though I would not push it over 1.40

 

If your stock cooler can handle 1.35 then go for it and try 3.9 or 4 GHz it won't hurt your CPU for sure

 

1.35 is the recommended limit when overclocking from AMD, but who listens to those guys anyways? I run my Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.9GHz at 1.4125v. Depending on your board, you'll probably be able to do that with lower voltage (1.35-1.375). My budget board lacks certain bios options to make overclocking easier (LLC). You'll also need to upgrade from the stock cooler if you go much above 1.35v.

Hmmm.. icic.. Thanks for the word of confidence man!

Are you using 3rd party HSF? or on stock cooler?

I might try bumping up to 4ghz if i'm lucky later today..

My setup is in my signature. The Noctua cooler has done nicely for me.

 

During the summer months (when I purchased this pc) I had a 3.8GHz overclock at 1.35v on stock cooler. Temps pushed 73c in Aida64 stress test (cpu/fpu/cache) and above 80c in Prime95. I added the Noctua cooler and my temps rarely broke 61c.

 

Now, with cooler ambient temps, at 3.9GHz, the temps only occasionally break 64c.

Oh crap, how did i missed that signature! My bad dude. Thanks for the word of confidence tho!

 

I think imma get something like Bequiet dark pro 3.. Should be fine i guess?

Will probably work nicely. Double check that it includes an AM4 mounting kit. I'm not sure.

Alright man, thanks for the help. Appreciate it!

For reference, TJMax for Ryzen is 95c, but it's typically recommended to stay below 80c (Diode / Package / Tdie temperature sensor).

1.4V and lower for daily use.

My recommendation is always never to go above +150mv to the core unless you have really good cooling. My 3570K runs at 1.15 to 1.20 volts when turbo is enabled and with my manual oc I've been able to get rock solid 4.6Ghz with 1.35v but I also delidded my CPU and am using a NH-D15 for cooling. Just make sure your temps aren't getting too high and you should be good. I never top 80°C under maximum load.
