Gigabyte B450m Ds3h overclock query

[Lakshya Siddhi]

I wanted to know whether CPU OC's are stable in gigabyte b450m Ds3h are the VRM's able to handle them

 

Mention your OC's and how stable are they

Ryzen 5 2600 can handle 4.0 on a DS3H, 1.36 volts (at least, the one I had my hands on)

 

The board offers pretty adequate support for 6 core CPUs. Haven't tried an 8 core tho.

I'm having a R5 2400g at 3.6 GHz stock and I am barely able to go to 3.7Ghz without the the system not posting...What to do ???

your CPU might not be able to overclock very well. silicon lottery. What voltage offset are you using?

You might need something like 1.38 volts.

Does your case have good airflow? High clock speeds might not be possible for your CPU if the cooling is inadequate

I'm having two 90mm fans as intake and one 120mm as exhaust

Do we need to increase by 0.03V for going from 3.6 to 3.7 GHz, I am not very into overclocking , kindly clarify

It's not a "need" to increase a certain amount. You must experiment, and find out what works. Every CPU is different because they aren't perfect.

Understood....will start boosting it slightly and update the results........ what is your voltage offset on your r5 2600, is it stable and what are your temps??

I used a negative offset, so I had auto voltage with -.02 volts. It is inside a case with lots of airflow so the temps are in the low 70s when gaming.

Interesting......increasing clock speed with lower voltages, how does that work?? I dont know how that works, kindly explain

A motherboard will set "auto" voltage based on the chip it has inside (different motherboard manufacturers will have some auto voltage settings for different CPUs)

 

When I use auto, the voltage automatically goes up when I increase the clock speed. Then, I use the negative offset to reduce the voltage back down. (auto voltage is almost always a lot more than you need, or should use)

 

this isn't my personal computer, I don't remember what the BIOS looks like and how I set it, but I do remember that you can set an offset instead of a straight value.

Thanks a lot  man...That gave me a clear picture....
