Ryzen 5 1600 (OC 4.2GHz) build added to the LTT Folding Team!

[TokenCanadian]

Threw this build together and have been adding to it over the last two years. Intial purpose was powering my Oculus Rift CV1 for DCS World and Elite Dangerous. I've got it turned currently to folding@home for the LTT Team .

Will add pictures whenever I can find them, cheers!

Holy shit what's your voltage to get to 4.2ghz?

[TokenCanadian]

Haha liiiittle higher than I'd like. Using voltage offset, can't remember what the exact offset is. Voltage peaks at 1.504V currently .

Impressive. Congrats. Not everyday you can push a 1600 over 4.1GHz.

Thanks! Got lucky with the silicon this time is all!

1.5v, that cpu is going to die quick.

 

keep it at max 1.375 even if temps are good, voltage degrades ryzen 1 gen cpu really easy.

For sure! This one's been going strong for 2 yrs. I've had it OC'd at this level continuously, only had to start putting in extra voltage now that I'm running BOINC and folding projs lol. If my $200 2 year old CPU dies fighting COVID19, it dies with honour and having lived a productive life.
