[help] Ryzen 5 1600 Overclock

[RyeIII]

I dialed in 39 for the multiplier to run it on 3.9ghz and I left the voltage on auto.

I already tested it via Aida 64 and run multiple Cinebench, no crashes.

But I panic a bit when a I saw the core voltage reading on CPU-Z, Its running 2.0v even on idle, I checked CPUID on AIDA64 but its says the voltage where 1.384 on idle and hitting 1.4v on load..

 

whats the issue here?check the attached image

I think it might just be a bug in CPU-Z, most CPUs can't handle more than 1.5v.

STOP!

It's also not 2V, if it were 2V your chip would be dead

 

Just manually set your Voltage to 1.4V preferably lower if you can

Also what motherboard?

probably just a bad read from CPU-Z. if it was really pulling 2V it really wouldn;t be stable i think

i just doubled check with hwmonitor, it has the same reading as cpuid on aida64,probably a bad reading on cpu-z

Don't use auto voltage when overclocking.

I once ruined a perfectly good FX 8320 by leaving the voltage setting on auto on some Asus FX990 board...

Never do this on a substantial overclock. Just manually search for the lowest settings your chip can handle.

im still looking for the lowest it could go, I noticed on my first runs of Cinebench the voltage is boucing from 1.37v to 1.4v max I dunno why..It seems that if the temps are low it will add voltage I'm not sure if this is XFR

FX chips can almost survive whatever voltage you throw at them so long as you keep it cool.

Just go for 1.375V

Exactly that was the problem lol. That was back in the day when I didn't know wtf I was doing.

its now stable at 1.375v but still its fluctuating upto 1.406v,its that suppose to happen?

Check your LLC settings if you have any, it may be set to put more voltage as you go under load.

Thanks man!
