IS IT GOOD ENOUGH?
IS IT GOOD ENOUGH?
i am just starting with overclocking and i have a ryzen 5 1600 with 3.7gHz at 1.35v or something similar. the temperature stays around 70 c max when using prime95. i tried 3.8gHz at the same voltage but it crashed during cinebench r15. i'm using ryzen master for this project and my current setup includes an ab350 fatality gaming itx/ac, a 240 samsung 960 evo, 2tb wdc blue, and a 1060 manli with 6gb ram.
I'm assuming you're on the stock cooler, which is sufficient. You usually get more performance gains by fine-tuning your RAM and speeds rather than relying solely on the 100MHz OC setting compared to the turbo speed on the CPU.
I'll be on the stock cooler, so that's fine.
You usually don't list your RAM or specifications, and often achieving higher performance is easier when you configure those settings properly instead of relying solely on the 100Mhz OC found on the CPU.
When considering adjustments, keep in mind the typical boost frequency for your processor. If you have a Ryzen 5 1600, its standard boost is 3.6GHz. The question arises about why you're trying to limit it further to 100MHz or 200MHz. For a 1600AF model, the single-core boost potential increases to 3.7GHz.
