Check your R5 2600x carefully Ensure it’s running smoothly and functioning properly
Hi there! I'm just getting started with overclocking and would appreciate your guidance. You have a Ryzen 5 2600X running at 3.9Ghz stock cooling on an MSI B450 gaming pro carbon AC motherboard. Your idle temps are reaching 55-57°C, while the lowest you've seen is about 47°C. Could you suggest some Ryzen Master settings to help you achieve a stable and cooler overclock? Thanks!

Your voltage is elevated at 3.9GHz, but your 2600(non-X) should handle 4.2 across all cores—around 4.3 on CCX1 and 4.2 on CCX2 when using 1.35V. With a budget 240mm AIO, it runs smoothly in the mid-30s idle and stays under 70°C during artificial loads like Cinebench or Prime.

after a few hours of stress testing the new temps are between 46.6-47.3°C min, 43.8-63.5°C max, avg 48.6c – seems acceptable). edited November 5, 2020 by V3SPER update
Hello, i adjusted the voltage to roughly 1.325v during testing at 3.9ghz. hardware readings currently show min at 49.0°C and average around 59.3°C. yesterday at similar settings (1.3125v), temperatures stayed between 41-45°C for most of the day, but the system crashed during boot. i increased voltage slightly in rzyen master to fix it. should i revert to 1.3125 again for cooler temps? thanks for your advice.

03-04-2018, 12:58 AM #8Absolutely, I understand what you're saying. The key problem seems to be with your cooler. I previously used a Master Liquid Lite 120mm AIO on my 2600X, which are among the most affordable AIOs available and perform well for this CPU. Are you running the Windows Ryzen Balanced Power Plan? If not, enable it. Also, if you choose Game Mode with Precision Boost Overdrive and run Cinebench R20, what were your results and maximum temperatures?
