Average ryzen 1600 overclock?

[CasualGamer...]

If anyone has experience with a Ryzen 1600, how far can it usually overclock and at what voltage? I ask this because I am debating between a 1600 and 1600x.

Just get the R5 1600, not worth it paying extra for the 1600X, they all OC the same.

 

4.0GHz seems to be the ceiling most of the time.

If you are lucky you can do 4.1GHz and if you are very lucky then maybe 4.2GHz.

3.9GHz should be achievable on most of the CPUs unless you are very unlucky.

the 1600x's extended XFR range will allow individual cores to overclock automatically depending on temperatures, cooling, etc. this could allow slightly better performance compared to the 1600 but not that much. plus i believe the X chips are binned, but i'm not sure about that

My sample of 1600 does 3.6 GHz on all cores, stability tested (realbench, prime95 29.1) at stock voltage on Asus B350M-A mobo. I can't remember what stock voltage is, but think it was 1.2375v. My OC style is to go for easy gains with little or no voltage rise to help control power usage. I did not increase voltage. The mobo only offers offset control.

I assume the best choice would be the 1600, even though I will be using an aftermarket cooler, thanks all.

mine runs at 3.9 at 1.35v or 4ghz at 1.41v nottried for any higher but both are stable runnng aida 64 and r15 render at the same time.
dont get the 1600x if you psate oc the chip like i have you keep the dynamic frequency and the xfr enabled. at3.9 on all cores mine boosts to 4.075 ghz on its own

4.1ghz on 1.39v on my 1700, i got a decent chip but i also run a high end X370 ROG board.

Good read.
