needadvice First time overclocking advice.

[arnekick]

Hi this is what i have:

- 3900x Stock 

- Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wifi)

- Corsair h150i Pro

 

I have never done this before and i want to learn. I would like to get it to 4300 - 4600 as stable as possible. Does anybody have a guide/stable configuration i can start with without causing any damage?

The way I overclocked my 1600 was by increasing the clock speeds in Ryzen Master until it blackscreened in Cinebench R15.

 

Then I increased voltage by a little bit until it didn't blackscreen, then increased clockspeed again. Once I found a spot where I was happy, I just stuck the settings from Ryzen Master into my BIOS and the rest is history.

 

It's probably not the best way to overclock a CPU, but it worked pretty well.

Ok

OP make sure you do your research for safe voltages on your chip. I find it unlikely you’ll be able to hit a stable 4.6 and not burn the house down, but I find it way less likely you can hit that at a voltage that doesn’t degrade your chip

isnt this what you are getting? considering the other thread you made:

 

hopefully you take some of the suggestions. even if you want to stick with ATX.

that is probably around the maximum you will get with the 3900x allcore. perhaps slightly more on a per CCX basis.

oh, thats a missunderstanding on my part. 

 

the top 3 specs you listed were pretty similar.
