Did I miss out on getting the perfect chip?
Did I miss out on getting the perfect chip?
Hi, I recently installed a Ryzen 5 system and have been attempting to overclock the CPU and RAM for a week now. So far, the chip has reached a stable 3.75Ghz using an offset voltage. By default, it was set at 1.23750V, so I added an offset of about 0.93V, which raised the voltage above 1.3V. Under load, it stayed around 1.33 to 1.36V. Unfortunately, I haven’t managed to hit any higher overclocks with reasonable voltages—3.9Ghz and 3.8Ghz aren’t stable even at about 1.4V, which seems extremely high for such an overclock.
Perhaps there’s something missing, like certain settings that boost stability? Luckily, my RAM is performing well at 3066MHz thanks to an XMP profile in the BIOS. My setup includes:
- R5 1600 processor
- Stock Wraith cooler
- Asus B350F RogStrix gaming motherboard
- 2x4GB Corsair LXD Venge RAM
- CX650M 600W PSU
- Gainward GTX 1060 6G
Make sure the SOC voltage is set to 1.2v as well, which works on some boards. Ultimately, it's just a 1600 chip; the lower binned ones compared to the 1600X should easily reach 4.0 or very close to it. It might be related to your CPU.
I've also attempted that, adjusting it to High, but it hasn't provided sufficient stability yet. Still, it doesn't seem to meet the requirements for the cinebench run. :[
Play around with it. Have you tried medium? if it's set to high, it will reduce the voltage more than necessary, trying to fix vdroop and leading to greater instability.
Sure, I've kept the same length and structure while changing the wording.
