Cooler for OC 4GHz Ryzen 2600
Cooler for OC 4GHz Ryzen 2600
Hi,
I installed my Ryzen 2600 and OC to 4GHz at 1.3V, and I adjusted it to 1.31V just in case.
Should I lower the voltage back to 1.3V because it seems stable?
In all games (GTA 5, Battlefield 4, Total War: Empire of the Sun) I haven’t experienced any crashes so far, though I run stress tests on Prime95 and AIDA64 where temperatures spike up to 95°C+ before crashing after 10 or 15 minutes. The ASUS real bench test passed, but between 90°C and 95°C it didn’t go beyond that.
Are there any air coolers that can keep the temperature under 70°C? I’m considering a Corsair spec 3.
It’s been okay for a week now with daily use like gaming and Photoshop—no heavy workloads, max temp around 64°C. I haven’t used any demanding programs, but I might in the future, so I’m looking for a reliable cooler.
Also, do stress tests simulate real-life tasks such as video editing? If so, could you suggest some programs I should try learning?

I play at 1440p 60Hz settings, normal to ultra 50+ FPS.
If it works at 1.3, avoid running it at 1.31 because the higher voltage will only raise your temperatures. You should use a better cooler to handle the 2600 at 4ghz. The current one isn't built for that level of overclocking. I recommend considering the Cryorig H5.
I don’t do video editing, but encoding is often part of editing, so handbrake would be a practical choice for real-world testing rather than just synthetic stress.

I understand the subject is a bit outdated, but my 2600 still handles 4ghz at 1.375v perfectly. No overheating above 85°C or any performance drops during 3-hour sessions on AC Odyssey. I'm using the CoolerMaster HAF 932 Advanced, which provides great airflow.
