Getting help with overclocking the Ryzen 5 2600x is possible.
Hello
I just finished my new Pc and i would like to overclock the Cpu only in gaming sessions(1-8h) but i`m not sure how to proceed to be on the safe side.In short,i`d like to get the most of it in games but ,of course,not molotov the damm thing.
Cpu specs:
Ram: Patriat Viper 2 x 8gb 3200 mhz Cl 16 (managed to make it stay at 3200)
Motherboard: B350 Tomahawk
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x with cooler stock(Wraith Spire)
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM
Case:deepcool kendomen titanium gray with 5 120mm Fans
PSU: seasonic 12ii 520W 80+Bronze
GPU: Asus gtx 1060 6gb Dual OC
I am more than happy with how my CPU is running outside of gaming,so i would like to not overclock it from bios,so i would like to overclock it with Ryzen Master just in gaming sessions.
Can anyone guide me:
-How to test the CPU for stability
-What are the maximum allowed temps
-What voltage should be acceptable ?
-What Frequency should i expect to obtain? i was thinking about a 4.1-4.2 on all cores on cooler stock,but i dont know if thats possible
Thanks,i am waiting for response

I still don’t get how to tell if my system is stable after overclocking. I managed to OC it to 4.1 with a voltage of 1.38, but I’m not sure if that’s high enough or low enough. It just worked for me. Anyone could please explain this? I searched online all day and didn’t find a clear answer.
How do you actually check that? You should download a hardware monitor, then check your PC’s temperatures. After that, run Aida64 or Prime95 and perform a stress test while monitoring the CPU temps. If the temps exceed 90, it’s not good—even though those programs won’t put your PC under that much load. Don’t go overboard with the voltage. If the system doesn’t restart or shows a BSOD, it means your overclock is stable.

How do you check this? You should download a hardware monitor and check your PC's temperatures. Then use Aida64 or Prime95 to run a stress test while monitoring the CPU temps. If the temps exceed 90, it's not good. Even though those programs won't put your PC under that much load, don't go for another overclock. If it goes lower, if it doesn't restart or shows a BSOD, it means you have a stable overclock. And once you reach a stable setting, keep lowering the CPU voltage by 0.01 each time until you find the lowest safe voltage your CPU can handle at that setting.
