The build is: CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 1500x CPU Cooler: Be Quite Drak Rock 3 Ram: Corsair LPX 2133mhz Graphics Card: Amd RX 480 Asus Strix 08G MOBO: Asus Prime B350 Plus Case: Phanteks P400 Case fans: 2 Phanteks fans that came with the case and one old coolermaster fan i had laying around thats hooked up to the Graphics card. Power Supply: Corsair RM 650X Storage: Cheapo 120 Gb Kingstone SSD for boot drive, And WD black 1Tb for Additional storage I'm Just curious what overclocks you Ryzen 5 Guys Achieved? I personally Just got 3.9GHZ Stable at 1.3562v and 63 degrees celsius on the CPU Package. i'm not sure if i should go any further though, i mean this CPU is 3.6-3.7ghz turbo like im just a little scared to push it further haha. Anyways let me know what Overclocks you guys have managed With this CPU Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/780580-amd-ryzen-5-1500x/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 16, 2017 Also, the picture is not showing. It might be worthwhile to reupload it. How's the Be Quiet AM4 mounting bracket? Can you orientate your cooler? Bitwit Kyle said it was impossible. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/780580-amd-ryzen-5-1500x/#findComment-9841837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitwit Kyle said it was impossible. Oh, i shall re-upload it! Its a good sturdy bracked but man it was a pain taking the backplate which the mobo came with it was held on with double sided tape kinda thing. Literal nightmare haha. Sadly Kyle was right, you can either have the cooler with the Be Quite! Logo upseide down or not upside down (i'd personally have it with the fan facing forward) However im getting 50 degrees-ish celsius under gaming load with the cooler sucking air basically off the backplate of my GPU. Also thanks for the tip i'll make sure not to go over 1.425v when overclocking Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/780580-amd-ryzen-5-1500x/#findComment-9842469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways let me know what Overclocks you guys have managed With this CPU i have a 1600 with the stock cooler. currently running at 3.95ghz at 1.34v idle temps around 35C high of 69 when stressed and a cinebench of 1270. Overall pretty happy with that for my first build. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/780580-amd-ryzen-5-1500x/#findComment-9842571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that, 65w TDP... basically a mobile cpu its funny the Dark rock 3 is good for 190w TDP a bit overkill for the 1500X, the only reason i got it was because my local PC Shop had it for £40 which is awfully cheap for that cooler Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/780580-amd-ryzen-5-1500x/#findComment-9842650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RX580 should do a very good job for you too, the only reason i went with the RX480 is because that strix cooler is so sexy... and i got it 50 GBP cheaper than the 580 Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/780580-amd-ryzen-5-1500x/#findComment-9842754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
