Ryzen 5 1600 AF OC paired with RX 570 OC
Hello, I need to customize my CPU and GPU settings for optimal performance without overheating or shortening hardware life. The Turbo Boost on my CPU reaches about 1.27v at 3.6GHz, which seems too high for that speed. I tried 1.25v and 3.8GHz, but the screen went black during stress tests, suggesting it might be too much. For my GPU, I have an ASUS ROG Strix RX 570 with 8GB RAM. Can I push it to 2000MHz memory and 1350MHz cores without raising the voltage? Thanks for your assistance!
1.35V to 1.375V VCORE and 1.2V SOC works well for extended periods. Only exceeding 1.4V was cautioned against if you intended long-term use. Consider boosting the RAM frequency to 1.5V for better stability. Overclocking without a power cap or excessive GPU voltage is nearly unattainable. Raising the power limit may help you discover further possibilities. Generally, modern hardware remains stable with moderate overclocking rather than extreme settings.
On Soc the value is above what I suggest staying under 1.1 or even 1.15 isn't ideal.
VCore and SOC are both components in mobile devices, but they serve different purposes. VCore stands for Voltage Control Core and manages power delivery to the device, while SOC refers to the System on Chip, which integrates various functions like CPU, memory, and peripherals.
It's hard to predict performance limits without testing. Each CPU and GPU handles overclocking differently, so stock settings are a good starting point. For the CPU, keep voltage at default and monitor stability; aim for around 1.35V if possible. With GPUs like Polaris/Navi, you can adjust voltages but results are limited by manufacturer safeguards. Try pushing power limits gradually while watching temps, and avoid boosting voltage unless necessary.
I've been testing at 1.375v core and 1.2v SOC since the 1700 release. I've had to run the SOC at that voltage for stability, and 1.15v didn't work. Everything seems fine now. Core voltage controls the processor cores, while SOC manages other parts like memory controller and I/O. The main reason for using multipliers on the CPU is core voltage, but SOC is crucial for stability, especially on earlier Ryzen models. The 1600 AF isn't exactly Zen1, so you could try lowering it later to see if stability improves.
You can try BIOS settings instead of Ryzen Master for overclocking.
BIOS offers greater flexibility and options for voltage management, though in practice you might prefer Ryzen Master to experiment first. I’ve used BIOS for a long time and haven’t worked with RM recently.
