AMD Ryzen 2700X and 2600X OC to 5.88* GHz

[Ryujin2003]

Just in early enough for bumping up that old propaganda machine, OC enthusiast TSAIK OC'd and submitted results for his 2600x and 2700x, but exceeding the 4.3 out of box boost.

 

This is exciting, because this could potentially show that gaming enthusiasts might be able to get more out of the second gen OC than the first; however, do note the voltage was pretty excessive in this OC.

Out of the box, the Ryzen 7 2700X should be able to achieve a maximum boost clock of 4.3GHz on a single-core with the aid of Extended Frequency Range 2. Meanwhile, TSAIK was able to achieve an overclock of 5.884GHz with a core voltage of 1.76V on a MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC motherboard.

 

The AMD Ryzen 7 2600X appears have to clocked in at a slightly lower 5.882GHz, which is still impressive nonetheless given that this CPU is only meant to achieve 4.2GHz on a single-core. The CPU-Z results state the processor was tested on an MSI X470 GAMING PLUS motherboard, with voltage dialled to 1.768 volts.

 

Both results look promising, especially when the previous generation AMD Ryzen 7 1800X went up as high as 5.8GHz thanks to Der8auer’s expert tuning. We imagine overclocking savants will be able to push the AMD Ryzen 2nd generation processors even further given more time.

 

 

Super short article, but it definitely shows that AMD was able to break the OC wall of the previous chips. Now, with 5.88* done with gratuitous amounts of voltage... I wonder if a more realistic enthusiast OC on water would be able to get somewhere in the middle? Maybe around 5? I enjoyed OC'ing my FX CPU's, but my Ryzen was pretty simple and limiting. If the next Gen OC's better, it'll definitely bring some of the fun back.

There was an 1800X that did 5.8GHz, but that was at 1.9V.

Cool to see, but I'm not sure how exactly this will translate over into normal OCs.

If only we could achieve something even close to this without LN2 lol

Totally missed that one. The Gen 2 was 5.88 with -.2v difference from that 1800X, so hopefully that bodes well? I'm hoping either Linus, Jay, GN, or Der8auer will be able to get a pretty decent  OC on normal liquids found in the home. I'm fresh out of Nitrogen...

Yeah, it would be nice to see Ryzen 2 overclock well. I don't think it will quite get to 5GHz, but maybe 4.5? At least we don't have to wait long since the chips come out next week.

Wonder how much they can get with all 8 cores.

All cores seem to be active based upon the core and thread counts.

 

Just saw what you meant.

[toobladink]

I wanna know how much power this consumes. Definitely sounds power hungry to me for sure.

[PopReference]

new processor set to launch -queue impossibly high Overclock leak- every time

All are active, but one is at 5.88GHz, the rest are at something like 600MHz-2.5GHz, depending on which.

Well, ~1.75 vs 1.9v... more or less it translates like the more conventional overclocks we are seeing  

Everyone who wasn't under NDA made such a rushed review to claim "First!" than it makes me glad GN decided to take their time. Still, everything points to a little bit higher, a little bit easier, not more than that.

Im purchasing a 1950x soon, maybe the new threadripper when that comes out. I value stability way to much to overclock anything. 

 

Id hate for my pc to crash and lose valuable time i should spend working.

[grayperview]

If 4.4ghz is do-able on all cores, these will be great CPU's, I think its more likely we see 4.1 - 4.2 which still ain't bad and will make a great all around CPU.

[Humbug]

Cool I guess.

 

I tend to care more about overclocks which are stable under load.

So the improved node has allowed AMD to drop voltages then?

If they can hit 4.5 I would upgrade my gen 1 ryzen. I am thinking more tward the max boost being the max oc. So about 4.3

I thought about that too, but I'm more concerned about IPC really. The scores for Cinebench are only 75-100 higher than my 1800x, so I might not upgrade this time around.

there was also this

who knows what kind of tricks and nitrogen went on

[Doobeedoo]

Cool. We'll probably see solid OC on air and water, they're refined chips after all. 

Maybe 7nm gen we may see FX clocks of 5GHz hopefully. 

[onlybuilt4cubanxlinx]

That was the best part of the FX series. The amount of OC'ing you could do. Spent so much time tinkering with settings.

The best part is OCing a single core? 

 

I mean I guess....because the best part sure as hell wasnt the performance of the FX chips.

I liked the fact you could OC it period. I had a great time back in the day getting the most out of my machine.

so can we hope for 5ghz on air?
