Is it worth overclocking 1600 AF for gaming?

Hello linustechtips community !
So i recently bought a bundle with r5 1600 af and b450 tomahawk max, and was wondering if i should ovelock it?

I have a Deep Cool Gammax 400 that i've put on the board and a corsair 550 Bronze 80+ PSU.

I play only on 1080p on a 1080p 60Ghz monitor,on a xfx rx 570 8gb.
Have a nice day and thank you !

sure, why not? (relatively) free performance and no real impact on longevity.

 

since you're going to be GPU limited most of the time, and then display limited the rest, you won't see higher framerates, but your 0.1% and 1% lows that are CPU bound under 60fps will improve.

What do you mean relatively? As in higher bills? Is core voltage of 1.250 good for 3.8 for example?

1. yeah, more electricity

2. sure. my 1st gen needs almost 1.4v for 3.8

Is the difference between stock V and OC V that big?

you can push up to 1.35v if the cooler can take it.

i don't really see a point of going up to 1.35v for 3.8 for example maybe 4.0, but i'm not targeting that.

 

EDIT: i mean if i can get it at a lower V and it still be stable that would be great !

depends on each chip

 

Max safe voltage is debated. Some say 1.45v for 1st gen, 1.4 for 2nd gen, and 1.35 for 3rd gen.

 

No guarantees on longevity.

ofc not, though you want to push frequencies higher. you can probably get 4ghz at 1.35

I mean as power consumption, is 1.250 really that high to what the stock is usually.

its a personal comfort level.

 

personally i don't really care if it degrades quickly because it would give me an excuse to upgrade it. but its been over a year at that level without issues (that aren't RAM related, anyway)

Sorry to bug you again, but will i see any differences between manual OC and PBO? Youtube videos are just more confusing.

i've never used PBO but i don't think first and second generation PBO was very impactful
