Help with overclocking Ryzen 7 2700 CPU
You can boost the fan speed if needed, but first perform an e temp test as discussed earlier, observing the temperature under full load. Leave it running for 1 to 2 hours on Prime95. My personal guideline is to stay below 70 to 75 degrees Celsius. The auto fan will attempt to reduce the temperature, though you can manually adjust it higher if necessary. If the full speed doesn’t lower the temperature, consider using liquid cooling or adjusting the GPU’s frequency and voltage. However, Ryzens cooling performs exceptionally well. In summary, increasing fan speed isn’t essential unless it exceeds 75 degrees, then you might raise the fan speed further or tweak the settings accordingly.
Maximum temperature for gaming or general use is 80°C, though lower temperatures are better. Stress tests can reach around 85°C. The voltage must stay below 1.450V. I wouldn't anticipate a strong overclock from the standard cooler, but I'd begin at 3.9GHz with the default voltage.
The setup with four 4x4GB DDR4 sticks in two pairs may influence memory overlock behavior.
Identify the models that combine memory types, particularly avoiding mismatched speeds since booting might compromise stability.
After reviewing my Ryzen 7 2700, its actual speed is just around 3.2GHz, not the expected 4.0Ghz Turbo.
