1500X Stock Cooler Overclock
3.75 Ghz and a +0.072 v offset are in use. Temperature readings rise to 80 before settling between 72 and 74. Voltages range from 1.2 to 1.24 v. Consider increasing the setting?
AMD temperatures shouldn't be tracked in that manner, even for Ryzen processors. The thermal sensors are built around a "thermal margin," which refers to the distance to TJmax.
Install CoreTemp, launch it, navigate to the Options menu, and select the advanced tab. Verify the box next to "Show distance to TJmax in temperature fields." Save your settings and close the options window.
When CoreTemp is active, you should observe the thermal margin for distance to TJmax in the core temperature data.
Run Prime95 version 26.6, selecting the "Small FFT option." If the thermal margin remains above 10°C, your temperatures are acceptable. If it drops below 10°C, your overclock settings may be too aggressive or your voltage too high. Adjust accordingly...
AMD temperatures shouldn't be tracked in that manner, even for Ryzen processors. The thermal sensors are intended for "thermal margin," which refers to the distance to TJmax.
Install CoreTemp, launch it, navigate to the Options menu, and select the advanced tab. Verify the box next to "Show distance to TJmax in temperature fields." Save your settings and close the options window.
When CoreTemp is active, you should now observe the thermal margin for distance to TJmax within the core temperature displays.
Run Prime95 version 26.6, selecting the "Small FFT option." If the thermal margin remains above 10°C, your temperatures are acceptable. If it drops below 10°C, your overclock may be too aggressive or your voltage too high. Reducing the overclocked voltage can help stabilize things, but be cautious not to lower it excessively or fail to raise it sufficiently. It's advisable to run Realbench for approximately eight hours to confirm stability.
Prime95 v26.6 is the standard method for most baseline thermal compliance tests using the Small FFT option.
For AMD systems like Zen/Ryzen, this provides comparable data, though with less detail compared to other architectures. I recommend disregarding the Ryzen master section. Overclocking should be managed solely through BIOS/UEFI settings and performed manually. Automatic adjustments are unreliable. While Ryzen master is designed for thermal tracking, I haven't conducted any tests yet, so I can't confirm its accuracy.

Download CoreTemp, install it, open it, select the Options menu, and choose the advanced tab. Verify the box next to "Show distance to TJmax in temperature fields." Save and exit options.
With CoreTemp active, you should now see the thermal margin for distance to TJmax in the core temperature fields.
Download and run Prime95 version 26.6. Pick the "Small FFT option." If the thermal margin doesn't drop below 10°C, your temperatures are acceptable. If it falls below 10°C, your overclock may be too high or your voltage too high. Reducing the overclocked voltage can cause instability, so proceed carefully and consider running Realbench for about 8 hours to confirm stability.
Prime95 v26.6 is the standard method for most baseline thermal compliance tests using the Small FFT option.
For AMD systems like Zen/Ryzen, this provides similar data but with less detail. I recommend skipping the Ryzen master section. Overclocking should be handled solely through BIOS/UEFI settings and manually adjusted. Automatic features are unreliable. While Ryzen master is intended for thermal monitoring, I haven't tested it yet, so I can't confirm its accuracy.
