Ryzen 5 1600 3.7 Ghz High Temp
Ryzen 5 1600 3.7 Ghz High Temp
Hi All,
I just increased my Ryzen 5 1600 overclock to 3.7 Ghz with a stock cooler. The VCORE voltage is set to the minimum offset of +0.00625, as some people have reported stable performance at that setting. I left the SOC voltage at 1.100 V automatically. I run Cinebench repeatedly without any crashes, and Prime95 for about three hours reaches a maximum temperature of 84°C without issues.
What do you think? Is this temperature normal? My chassis has two intake and one exhaust fans, and the room temperature is around 30°C (I feel like I’m sweating even without the blower). Sometimes my mouse seems to lag. Could it be due to insufficient voltage? Should I add more voltage for better stability?
Thanks.
84 remains within safe limits. The highest allowed value is 95 according to AMD's official documentation. Prime 95 tends to be overly demanding, but regular tasks won't strain the CPU excessively. You're in good shape; avoid using prime95 for testing. Aida64 and standard benchmarks are more reliable.
Several users have found prime95 to be quite taxing and potentially harmful to components. My own experience shows a similar result around 84 with 1600, and under normal use the CPU stays within safe limits up to 70.
Good to hear,
I plan to reduce the voltage to 1.23125V (-0.00625V from the original 12,375V).
I saw in other discussions some users achieved stable 3.7 with these settings.
Is that acceptable? Lowering the voltage should lower temperature, as long as it passes the stress test.
For the AIDA64 test, should I only run it for half an hour or an entire hour?
I can’t watch the monitor for more than two hours, and most people suggest 12 to 24 hours.
Regarding the SOC, does overclocking affect it?
I’m not really clear on this, which is why I leave it to the auto system.
Thank you
I configured SOC to 1, but it cannot go higher than 1.1. The lowest voltage at the same clock speed is preferable for stability. Lower voltage results in reduced temperature. A 30 minutes to an hour should be enough.
I set SOC to 1 and it won't exceed 1.1. The lowest voltage for the same clock speed is best if it stays stable. Lower voltage reduces temperature. About 30 minutes to an hour should be enough. If you're using the same CPU, could you share your current stable OC settings? Thanks.
Last time I did:
3.7 GHz
VCORE 1.231V
SOC Auto (still overclocking memory)
LLC Auto
Stress test AIDA64 5 Hours sable (CPU,FPU,Cache)
Temp max 72C (pretty good)
BUT
In the stats it says:
VCORE Min/Idle 1.242V
VCORE Max 1.297V
Is this due to Auto LLC?
Should I switch to manual?
What’s best: Regular/Medium/High/Extreme ?
Thanks
Are these points accurate?
VCORE is connected to CPU OC
SOC is linked to MEMORY OC
