ryzen 5 1600 oc

[Javiek]

I am running a ryzen 5 1600 on MSI carbon pro and was able to get a stable enough over clock at 3.8 ghz @ 1.3875 with the wraith spire cooler.  I validated with cpu-z, cinebench, and aida64.  On aida I ran for 8 hours max temp reaching at around 86-87 degrees. This is a decent enough overclock I believe, however, I do have that bug to try to get to the coveted 4.0 ghz, which, I would need an after market cooler for since anything above 1.4 is going to make my temps climb above 90 degrees.  Realistically though are those 200 ghz worth the purchase of an aftermarket cooler and the voltage through my cpu? Will i see some real world benefit?

Seems like you got a rather poor overclocking chip. For longevity's sake I wouldn't turn it up any more, even with an aftermarket cooler, that much voltage isn't great for it, and the performance increase will be pretty minimal.

i got lucky with my cpu to get it to 5Ghz with only 1.3V (69 degrees celcius max), but just dont turn the voltage up anymore, let the urge rest and let your cpu live a bit longer, because if you go any higher with the voltage the cpu life will degrade much more than now.

3.8 is not rather poor for ryzen as the ceiling is I mean sure but we are going from a theoretical 20 years to 15 years which by then that cpu would be sitting on shelf somewhere, but if it really is that minimal i wouldnt even bother trying.

You are running what seems like a 7600k not sure that it applies so much for a ryzen chip

it is al electronics and they all react the same to voltages, so i think that it probably wouldn't be smart to go above 1.45V for a 24/7 OC
