Ryzen OC troubles

[LiteralKiteral]

I have a Ryzen 5 2600X and am totally clueless with AMD. Despite it serving me well, as many overclocking PC enthusiasts would likey agree, I want more. So at the moment I have a MSI X470 gaming plus (with 12 pin CPU power), 2 Sticks 8GB 2666 memory, an 850 Watt PSU and the classic 212 Evo air cooler. The best all core OC I can get it 4.1GHz at 1.45 core voltage, and even that can be unstable in certain games. Now this works, but I can still see frame drops (running a 1440p 144hz monitor on a 1080ti at high[ish] settings) trying to hold 144FPS. Would it be more viable to to OC the cores in pairs, each half of the CPU, or just leave it.

Thanks much

 

(Note: I have a 7700K that is running on practically identical spec, I have them setup for 2 PC streaming using NDI. I game on the 7700k and run everything else on the Ryzen, but audio has been problematic lately so I figure if I can get the Ryzen to game at a performance level near the Intel while running discord, my webcam chroma key, and audio mixing, then use the Intel to stream it.)

I would not be pushing that voltage for daily use. Stay under 1.4V

 

could of just drawn a shitty lottery ticket in the silicon market @LiteralKiteral

It is possible to run the cpu under 1.400volt at 4.1ghz https://valid.x86.fr/3hap2m

 

Theres no doubt about it, you should use a better cpu cooler

I've been debating swapping it with my evga 280 rad aio, I'll have to get around to it, and yes, but still can crash from time to time, like @gasolin said, I'm pretty sure I just lost the lottery, second loss after one of my 1080ti's, meh shit happens, I was planning to sell both computers and make it one.

+/- ~200mhz really makes no difference in gaming.

4~4.1 are very good results. it would be ideal if you could reach 4.0ghz for much lower volts like 1.35v~1.4v

1.45 volts is murdervoltage. and the voltage stops scaling past 1,4 volts. 

 

 

4,1 or 4,2 should be doable at 1,37 volts. 

 

AIOs wont help much, a good aircooler maybe, but Ryzen isnt temp limited.

1.45v is ok. dont go over it thats the limit, 1.5v will start to degrade. try to keep your cpu fresh.
