Is this ok?

[yeehaw]

So i just applied a basic overclock to 4ghzon my ryzen 5 2600 and it peaked at 84c  during a brief aida64 stability test and i'am wondering if this is ok?

 

Is it a case of aida64 not being a represetation of a normal use case and it peaking that high in that not being of much concern or should i just lower the clock speed until i get a better cooler?

84 should be fine. just run some other tests such as gaming and monitor your temps. if you want to lower your temps you could try to lower certain voltages if they havent been lowered yet.

Yeah i was thinking it might be fine since i wouldn't imagine the processor being in 100% usage since that isn't going to happen too often since i just mostly play video games and watch youtube.

 

Also not sure if this is relevant but shouldn't my processor downclock itself while not in use or is this just a thing that happens on laptops which i come from?

i am not sure about when it is idling but because you overclocked manually it shouldn't go down at all

at what voltage?

I put it to 1.375 since going lower seemed to make it not boot and that from what could find should be safe.

putting in 1.375 is reasonable but mobo doesnt always do what you want. did you check the actual voltage reached?

How do i check the actual voltage?

Would looking hardware monitors voltage usage suffice?

use HWinfo instead, make sure you start it in sensor mode, not system summary mode

I'm a little paranoid when downloading things, is the link i pasted the right one?

After a brief run of aida64 it seems to max out at 1.306v, the maximum figures do show that at some point it did reach that 1.375v limit though.

Also to add while watching yyoutube it seems to go to around 1.37v

Core voltage SVI2 reading?

Which one is that, i've been looking at the Core 0-5 VID readings since i was assuming that was the one?

VID is just what AMD suggests the board to supply based on the CPU's workload and frequency. Not actual applied voltage.

Is it the "CPU Core Voltage" reading?

It should have "SVI2" at the back but if it doesn't, that's the second best number to use.

It has a "SVI2" at the end but i was cutout because of the size of the window, it shows that the maximum is 1.375 and during use it seems to go around the 1.35+V.

I'm guessing that means that the 1.375V would be suffient?

Yup, it's good, if anything quite conservative clock speed for this much voltage. you dont have room for more heat output though so maybe try 1.33V and 4.1GHz.

I'll look avout doing that tomorrow since i gotta go to bed because its 3:30am right now.
