1600x overclocking & testing
Hello guys. I am overclocking a new build. My parts are the following:
Msi x370 pro carbon motherboard
1600x cpu
Corsair H80i watercooler
16gb corsair vengeance ram @3000
I have it running at 4.0 but when I'm stress testing it on aida64 it fails after around 10 hours? I keep adding voltage but i don't think it's helping too much. Should I care too much about the stress test? I've seen some people say stressing it for an hour is fine. I'm running the test with FPU CPU, cache and system memory selected. I'm heading close to 1.45 volts now and don't wish to go higher but thinking maybe volts isn't even the issue. What would be your advice for voltages and stress testing?
It's just going to be for gaming.
1.45 volts might seem high, but as long as temperatures are acceptable, you can increase it slightly. Ryzen chips are known for poor overclocking, so a steady 3.9/4.0 is ideal. Have you experienced extended gaming sessions? The Aida64 test is quite extreme, pushing all six cores to full capacity, which isn't typical during normal gaming or multitasking.

I haven't played gaming before, but I'm checking for stability. The CPU temperature is around 65 while the board is at 80.
