prime 95 test freeze
hello, i'm working on getting my Ryzen 2600 to run over 4.0 ghs, but the system freezes when I try to push it to 4.1 during i.b.t. when the cpu temperatures hit around 70-77.
The title might be misleading because it suggests a connection between Intel and your CPU that isn't there. It seems like the setup could be based on a budget component or parts, but no details were provided. Also, the fact that you're modifying it adds another layer of uncertainty.

oc through bios
mentions "intel burn test" – the stress test I’m running to verify stability
i think it might be temperature issues, but i can’t determine why it froze before reaching max temp
it never exceeded 77 before freezing
IBT is meant for temperature checks, but it doesn’t really help with stability. Asus RealBench is better for assessing stability. Still, since even IBT is hesitant about OC, it suggests one of two things: you might be doing something wrong during OC (like adjusting vcore and multiplier isn’t ideal), or you’ve found a very stable CPU. Both AMD and Intel only confirm their boost clocks; anything beyond that is uncertain. There’s no certainty your CPU will ever run smoothly at 4.0GHz, regardless of what anyone claims online.
i remain stable at 4.0, no issues just aiming for a bit more performance. i plan to run cinebench at 4.2 but not fully stable—just trying to understand why it freezes without reaching maximum temperatures and without any crashes.
Freezing or crashing is a normal aspect of overclocking. It involves either raising the voltage or lowering the clock speed. This is fundamental overclocking information; if you're not familiar, consider reviewing some guides before proceeding.
