Overclocked ryzen 5 1600. Want some tips?
I increased my Ryzen 5 1600 to 3.7mhz at 1.275v after attempting a higher overclock of 3.8mhz at 1.3v, but it wasn't stable. The CPU runs at around 47°C when idle and reaches between 80 and 83°C under load with the stock cooler, two front intake fans, and one rear exhaust fan. I followed a stress test using Prime 95 for about an hour on a PC built with an MSI B350, Corsair Vengeance LX 3000mhz cooler, Windows Blue 1TB SSD, Sandisk 120GB SSD, and an Evga GTX 1070 Superclocker (OC at 2100mhz) with an EVGA 550W 80 Plus Gold. My case is Corsair Spec 02. I'm still learning about PC building and would appreciate any advice. Sorry if this seems too basic, I'm just a beginner.
I'm not an expert, but my build is quite similar to yours except for one main difference—I have a Hyper 212 Evo from Cooler Master. I believe you should consider getting an aftermarket cooler. My 1600 is overclocked at 3.8ghz with a core voltage of 1.3, though I'm hoping to reduce the voltage if possible. At full load, my CPU reaches around 65°C and usually drops to about 35°C. A good cooler really helps. You can still overclock with the stock one, but it would get very hot. Also, I came across a thread that might be useful:
