R7 1700x overclock

[MaxPlaysGames]

Hey, so i overclocked my r7 1700x to 3.9ghz, and it shows up in ryzen master, cpuz, and cpuid aida64, 

 

i let it run on asus realbench for 1h and aida64 stability test for 1h, never went hotter than 60c on full load and didnt crash.

 

Am i right to assume its a stable oc? Can i game with it and use it for day to day tasks without worrying?

Voltage never goes above 1.395, usually sits at around 1.373, is that a safe voltage? 

 

Can i make it go down when im not doing anything intense? Unless 1.373 - 1.395v isnt damaging anything if i have that on. At max i would game 8h, usually more like 2-4h. So that shouldnt be dangerous should it?

 

Its my first overclock so im kind of new to this and want to reassure that.

Prime95 all tests, 30 minutes should be enough.

Which mobo u have?

Crosshair VI, so test it on prime95 for 30 mins too?

Prime95 all of the tests available there.

Can you use a monitoring software and tell me VRM temps?

It will run cool, i am just curious.

Not sure how to check the temps. But i think it was running at 25-35c around there.

HWMonitor can monitor temp sensors.

Launch it next to the Prime95 and watch which temperature will go up after you start the test and after the 30 minutes write it down.

35°C is very much possible, the mobo is very high quality

But 1.373v isnt damaging or degrading the cpu over time even if its static right?

you should be OK. If it goes beyond 1.4V for long sustained durractions, then i'd start to worry, but from what i understand the VRMs on the CH6 are pretty good.

 

not sure which program dave is using to monitor VRM temps... unless it's hardware specific, i've never seen HWMonitor temp readout for VRM on my X370 Pro...

HWMonitor shows it as TMPIN or something.

You have to find out which sensor is VRM, then you'll know.

It does not

It never gone above 1.4v, always below 1.4v, max was 1.395v and that wasnt for long, most of the times its 1.373

they you're fine! You'll upgrade long before it begins to degrade.

Yeah, it will be fine.

The VRMs on CH6 cannot overheat, theyre too good for that

oh yeah?

 

hold my beer. i got this... (Killed a R7 already with way too much voltage).

I mean, the VRMs are super efficient.

If the BIOS told the voltage controller to push that voltage, it did it.

I heard there were some issues but only in the Ryzen's early days

checked it and on idle, theres 3 temps, and they range between 25-34c.

1.425V is even ok to use for long-term overclocks but i would stick with 1.4V or lower also very nice temps on the CPU you have a custom loop?

Man i got a slightly warmer chip then at 1.35V and 3.8ghz i get temps in the mid 60's quite quick(edit during stress tests like prime) and i have Noctua fans at 75% with my X61
