Ryzen 5 3.7ghz

[Steeler1994]

Been trying to get my Ryzen overclocked with the wraith spire cooler. This is at 1.248V using the Gigabyte Gaming 3 AB350 motherboard. Do these temps look fine? One is at idle, and then one is at load after a pass from cinebench. Been using Aida64 for a few hours and its peaking around 76-78c. I have not touched any other settings except my CPU voltage and frequency Suggest anything else if this isnt fine? Been learning overclocking for a few weeks and been trying it over the past few days. Someone told me over on Reddit that my VRM isnt that good, so idek. Suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!

Temperature is as expected with the Wraith Spire cooler.

It's normal.  Keep in mind synthetics are a worst case scenario.  AMD did decent with the stock coolers for Ryzen.

as long as temps stay ~80c under full load, then you should be good. This should be your target goal when overclocking and testing.

Your temps are within safe levels (below 80c) with the stock cooler.. however, with such a low voltage, one would think they'd be lower. When I used the stock cooler with my Ryzen 5 1600, at 3.8GHz and 1.35v, my temps were in the low 70s with Aida64 stressing CPU/FPU/Cache. It did reach 80c with Prime95, though, so I switched to the Noctua cooler in my signature. With Noctua at same frequency/voltage, I've not seen it above 64c in Prime95.

 

I'm not saying anything is wrong with your temps. I must take into consideration I use six 140mm case fans with ambient temps around 24c. Perhaps your situation is a bit warmer overall.

 

When you're using Aida64, what specifically are you stressing? If you can use the System Stability Test stressing CPU/FPU/Cache for several hours, I'd consider that an excellent 3.7GHz overclock for 1.25v. Personally, I'm not satisfied with my overclock until I can leave Aida64 running overnight without it going red-screen on me.

Using the CPU/Memory/FPU/Cache and its been about 3 ish hours. Bouncing between 75-78c.

You have a little bit more room then, not much though.

Think im pretty satisfied with what i have. 3.8ghz is a pretty big jump voltage wise i heard and not sure if i trust it with the stock cooler.

If you are satisfied with it, then great job and welcome to the Ryzen Overclockers club

You need to stay under 1.35V, especially with the stock woosher.

UPDATE: So i started this post at 0.012. There's something weird about my voltages. At 0.012, it said 1.248v on every single hardware monitor including ryzen master. I dropped it to 0.00v which is stock, and it still says 1.248v, but ryzen master has it even higher at 1.26v. Temps arent changing much either.

I'm so confused. This is why I hate the offset method.

Honestly regret buying this board. I dont understand this at all. Would rather manually putting in the voltages.Ill post some pictures, but i just dont know.
