AMD overclocking

[Lord Vile]

Using Ryzen Master to OC my 3600X. Got to 4.4 All core at 1.375V. Before I start backing the voltage down seeing if I can maintain it at .35 or .325 what is the actual max safe for normal use on Zen 2? Would .385 or .395 be safe to see if I can push to 4.45 or 4.5?

general consensus is dont overclock third gen ryzen

you generally want to keep below 1.325v. anything above really isnt considered "safe" voltage due to reports of people having their CPU degrade.

i wouldn't go above 1.35 for prolonged use.

if you use the cpu mainly for gaming, it's better to enable pbo, as it will boost one core higher and you don't need an all core OC.

aparently 1.275 is max safe for ryzen third gen

You have to enable PBO for overclocking anyway or you’re limited to 120A

I’m gonna work it down as low as I can get it see how long it can hold 4.4 all core
