define cpu voltage and gHz for ryzen 5 2600
I want to boost my Ryzen 2600 to the highest possible speed without using too much power or risking damage. I’m new to overclocking and don’t know how to adjust voltage or check if it’s safe. My current setup is:
Ryzen 5 2600 Be quiet pure rocket slim
MSI B450 gaming plus
LXN Vengeance 16GB DDR4 2666
GTX 970
CPU runs at 3.7GHz with 1.225V, AIDA64 stress test max 85°C
Please let me know if I’m doing something wrong or if you can help me figure out the right settings.
Maintain the voltage at 1.35 and increase gradually, most units handle 3.9-4.0 well at that setting
When you identify your maximum operating point, reduce the voltage slowly to assist with temperature control if needed
Maintain the voltage at 1.35, gradually increasing it, as most units handle 3.9-4.0 comfortably at that level
When you identify your maximum operating point, reduce the voltage slowly to assist with temperature management if needed
Maintain the voltage at 1.35, gradually increasing it, most units handle 3.9-4.0 comfortably at that level. After reaching your max operating point, you can reduce the voltage slowly to manage temperatures if needed. Should I reset the voltage to 1.35 and proceed as before, or should I increase it gradually? Also, what temperature thresholds should I monitor and where should I stop?
Keep voltage at 1.35v and increase clock speed. Then lower the voltage until you reach the minimum needed for that speed.
Review the video and read the article first, or at least take note of the conclusion: "If you ask us, we believe strong overclocks are possible with 1.2-1.25V SOC in the socket, but going higher isn’t really needed." Steve is quite knowledgeable... for every 100MHz increase on Ryzen beyond about 3.7GHz, the voltage demand rises sharply. A high voltage can still damage your CPU even if it stays within a safe temperature range.
Update: since it's not immediately clear, know that "Raven Ridge" is Zen+/2000 series. The 1000 series is Summit Ridge.
And 1.35V SOC will most likely KILL YOUR CPU (or at least degrade) over time.
Update 2: my bad, I guess RAVEN RIDGE is just the mobile and some desktop CPU's/APU's but the R5-2600 is not "Raven Ridge" so I'm not sure if the SOC values for just the CPU (not iGPU) are exactly the same as in the above video... Steve is testing a DESKTOP APU
It's also very confusing because some sites like Tweak Town are suggesting voltages that Gamers Nexus (and others) say will kill the CPU:
https://www.tweaktown.com/guides/8547/am...ndex3.html
(they recommend around "1.2V" but then also say don't go over 1.45V... WTF?)
*Anyway, for now I'm going to assume the safe CPU SOC voltage for Zen+ and desktop Raven Ridge are the same. Unless someone can find a good link that says the voltages are different.
("SOC" means System on a chip... meaning the CPU and GPU etc so I guess a regular CPU with no iGPU should not have an SOC value though the CPU voltage should be equivalent to the Raven Ridge video for "SOC" which is applied to the CPU and would be even if you disabled the iGPU)
Sorry for the confusion.

so i watched the video and oc to 3.9 with 1.25v and auto socv at 1.0-1.1
i guess my mainboard can handle that so my cpu doesnt die
As mentioned earlier, try a 1.35v setting and see how it performs. Handling Soc can be quite dangerous.
