black screen after slight overclock?

[TaiTeX]

Hi I have an Ryzen 5 1500x with an stock cooler on an MSI B450 A PRO MAX motherboard.

My power supply is rated 80+ gold and is 500 watts.

I can overclock without any problem to 3.825 ghz and 1,34375 volt.

If I want to go to 3.9 ghz and 1,5 volt. my system crashes to an black screen after 10 seconds of cinebench r15.

I overclock in ryzen master is this the problem ir is it someting else?

Dial back the overclock, it’s clearly not stable. Every chip is different, and yours just isn’t up to 3.9z. Also what GPU are you running, because 500w is a pretty weak supply to be overclocking on, especially if you have a power hungry GPU.

I have an GTX 1050 2gb

Would you suggest upgrading my psu?

Oh, thank goodness. I was picturing something like a GTX 1080 which would be quite the squeeze with that processor at 500w. In that case I would say it’s almost certainly a limitation of the chip and not a power issue unless the PSU is giving out. Not everyone can win the silicon lottery.

That is all it can do, you have found the limit.

Summit Ridge typically hits a wall in the 3.8 - 3.9 GHz range; you found it.
