Help with boosting 2600x eith B450-f
Hello, I'm looking to boost my Ryzen 2600x by using a B450-F motherboard. I have two 8GB sticks of 3200GHz PnY Anarchy RAM and a H150i cooler. My current setup is 3200GHz RAM and 4GHz CPU. I'd like to see if I can push things higher if it's safe. I'm just starting with Ryzen and BIOS settings.
What VCore voltage are you employing? And what are your CPU temperatures? To give a clearer picture, what PSU do you have and how did you achieve memory at 3200? Have you thought about PBO overclocking? That's an 'X' chip and it should perform well on that board.
I own an 850m Corsair PSU and am currently using XMP profiles for my RAM to achieve 3200MHz, but the ratio clock is set to 40 to reach 4GHz. I wonder if it would be better to keep it at 4GHz. I also have a GTX 1080 WindForce OC.
I'm not sure about the vote. However, I can confirm I'm reaching 50c at load right now.
It should be sufficient PSU and that's the proper approach for handling RAM at this stage, so everything looks fine there.
If you increased the ratio to 40, you'll also need to raise the voltage to achieve higher performance. However, before adjusting, check CountMike's link for monitoring tools. You must monitor voltage and temperature before increasing voltage.
Unfortunately, it's possible you're still unstable and unaware of it. Have you tested any stress test software to identify this?
The difference in performance between a stock 2600X with PBO/XFR features and one that's been manually overclocked to 4.2 GHz is usually very small. Setting the frequency to 4 GHz might even slightly lower performance compared to the original model.
