Help me with my overclock
Hello, your question is clear. You're experiencing issues after overclocking your R5 2600 CPU. The system reports errors in Windows after you enter OCCT. This could indicate instability or hardware concerns. It's important to monitor temperatures and voltage closely, as running at 1.35V may be unsafe. Consider checking the cooling setup, ensuring proper power supply, and verifying BIOS settings. If problems persist, consult a professional or revisit your overclocking parameters.
4.1GHZ is rarely reached below 1.40 volts. I boosted Ryzen CPU by adjusting Vcore to 1.45, then ramped frequency until crashes appeared in Cinebench R15 after ten runs or Aida64 stress test. At around 100mhz the CPU slowed to about 100kHz, and lowering Vcore caused another crash. So I set Vcore back to 1.45 and found a stable max around 4.05GHZ. If it didn’t crash at that point, I reduced frequency to 4.0GHZ. That’s likely the upper safe limit. Now I lower Vcore again until it fails, then try 4.0GHZ. After two Cinebench runs at 1.38V, I raised voltage to 1.40 and ran a stress test for at least 15 minutes. If it held, I moved to 1.42V and stopped. You can push the limits as much as you want, but that’s my approach—no crashes so far, and it usually takes an hour or two to reach peak overclock. Using voltage offset is better than static voltage; it aids cooling during idle. Also, try to limit CPU overclock before memory overclocking, and I’d do memory first.
You're aiming for a high speed but might not need it. A 100Mhz boost could be unnecessary unless you can maintain 1.4v or lower.
Varies by each CPU model. I’m aware my 2700 can handle 1.60 volts at 4.3 GHz for overclocking. AMD Robert mentioned 1.45 is safe, while 1.2 VSOC is the upper limit. At that setting it gets quite hot, which isn’t ideal for gaming. Personally, I’m running 4.125 GHz with 1.38V core and 1.1V voltage, and I don’t expect any problems. The memory specs are also safe—some users have kept 1.35V RAM at 1.5V without issues for years.
I think the CPU reached 4.1GHz at 1.38v, but I should confirm it.
I'm testing my 2700 4.125ghz at 1.38 MHz, aiming for near-perfect stability around 95%. At 1.35 MHz it feels solid, but I'm targeting 1.32 MHz with 4.1GHz—just need to tweak voltage a bit. Zen+ boosts performance but requires significant power adjustments to push frequencies up by about 500 MHz.
I'm sorry, it seems there might have been a mix-up. You mentioned your Ryzen 5 2600, but I need more details about the 2700 to help. Let me know what you'd like to discuss!
