How far can you Overclock Ryzen?
The 1.35V threshold isn't deemed secure for the latest generation... The extent you can push it relies on the specific Ryzen model.
Well, third generation chips can hit speeds from 4.2 to 4.4ghz based on overclocking settings. Within the maximum of 1,325v, the actual performance will vary depending on your specific CPU model. It’s probably best to enable PBO and let the processor handle things without manual tuning.
Using tweeks, I achieved 9600k at 5 ghz with just 1.3v. I really appreciate the performance Intel provides despite its limited core count and thread numbers, which pushes me toward Ryzen 3rd gen. My plan is to upgrade to a 3800x, then eventually move to 3900x/3950x. I do 3D rendering and coding sometimes, plus gaming occasionally. Now that I’m upscaling renders, I need many cores and threads while staying close to Intel’s speeds. I’m considering overclocking something soon.
Observe that the IPC of zen 2 exceeds that of Intel by roughly 10-15%. This means calculations appear nearly equal in speed per core. Avoid misunderstanding. The 3700x remains consistent when PBO is turned on.
I'm testing the h100i platinum from Corsair with my new PC. Should I opt for an NH-D15 or invest in another air cooler? I value the extra 4C or 5C performance of liquid coolers. Alternatively, would using Byski or Barrow parts and a mid-range water cooler be a better choice? Regarding reliability, I always test my systems before starting and keep background monitoring active. What are your opinions?
I see no reason to change, providing the AIO is still working. I dont see a reason to do so.
My setup is around 3950x with minimal overlocking. It usually stays in the 4.2-4.3 GHz range at default settings.
