Overclocking

[Txe]

I have a Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.9ghz boost clock with the stock cooler my idle is around 45 to 50 degrees C and my voltage on my system is on auto and when i check CPU-z it says the voltage reaches 1.417 V

First is the idle temps okay for a 3.9ghz boost clock on a stock cooler

Second if anyone has done a 3.9ghz boost clock on a Ryzen 5 1600 what is a recommended voltage so it will be stable

1.4v is the ceiling for running my CPU that I'm comfortable with.

 

Bit high for idle, what are the temps on load? Anything below is 80C is fine, below 70C is my preference.

 

You'll have to do trial and error. Boot at 3.9 with 1.4v, run stress test. Fine? lower voltage to 1.375 and run something like Cinebench. Rinse and repeat until Cinebench crashes.

idle temps mean nothing, full load temps matter.

 

3.9ghz? hard to say. Some ppl cant hit 3.9 even with 1.42v, while some hit 4ghz with 1.35v. You have to test yourself.

 

@bleedblue Cinebench is too light to guarantee stability, better use something more demanding like AIDA64 or Prime95.

My Ryzen 5 1600 is sitting at 3.8Ghz with 1.3v, anything higher than 3.8 will push into the 1.35-1.4v territory.

 

What's your ambient temperature and airflow?

I'm also using the stock cooler but I idle around 25-30 Celsius.

 

Also, don't use auto settings. Configure all that manually.

Personally, I would use AMD's Ryzen Master for testing and then go into the BIOS when you're satisfied with the settings, then just copy your Ryzen Master settings into your BIOS.

I just lowered it to 1.375 volts would 1.35 volts be still safe to do with the 3.9ghz clock

1.35v is good, but whether or not you can get 3.9Ghz is up to the silicon lottery.

I think im just gonna stay on 1.375 volts for a little bit and maybe later down the line i will got for the 1.35 volts or even lower but i digress thanks
