Ryzen 1600 overclocking details on temperatures, voltages and speeds.
Ryzen 1600 overclocking details on temperatures, voltages and speeds.
Initially, thank you for your assistance ahead of time. I'm adjusting my Rysen 1600 stock cooler on a mortar Arctic B350. After an hour on prime45 at 3.75Ghz, the temperature reaches around 53 degrees. When the system isn't heavily loaded, it drops to the mid-30s. I also observe a brief drop to about 1.8Ghz occasionally, even when temperatures are in the 30-40 degree range. As a relatively new overclocker, I'm seeking advice on whether my setup remains stable. I plan to share screenshots of temperatures and other metrics later.
I discovered my voltage is slightly above the stock level. I increased fan speeds to full capacity and achieved a temperature of 31 degrees with tasks like Firefox and Rysen Master running at 3.75Ghz. The HWinfo voltage reading fluctuates, and HWmonitor shows nearly full CPU usage in the monitoring panel.

Great new article here: https://www.howtogeek.com/339409/how-to-...intel-cpu/ (yeah, you have a Ryzen but it's all the same same).
I overclock, but only for fun, on a non-production computer. The suggestion in the article to stress-test the system at a speed you think is stable is an excellent idea: it prevents surprises later on when the computer starts resetting, or thermal-throttling, etc.
BTW, your temps are great, but quite often it's the frequencies that crash out the CPU/RAM (if you go there). A lot also depends on the voltage regulators on your motherboard. If they can't maintain accurate, stable voltages, crashes will follow. That's one of the reason oc/gamer's boards cost more: lot's more VR quality and...

I think i understand. I hope the mobo is keeping up. I've noticed a few things i'm unsure about and updated my post with the relevant info if you'd not mind looking. My aim is to push for the 4Ghz Mark but i think my psu might not be delivering consistent power
Yes, one of the main factors making high-quality gaming power supplies expensive is their consistent output stability, including voltage and DC smoothness. A gold or platinum rating helps with efficiency, but it mainly affects power conversion rather than overall performance.
Additionally, using a reliable UPS or surge protector can enhance PSU stability by supplying a steady input, which also protects your system from surges and outages.
