Ryzen 5 1600 oc, stock cooler
Hello everyone, I just assembled my first gaming PC and began some CPU overclocking tests that I’d like to share and possibly receive helpful advice.
The setup:
- Motherboard: MOBO Asrock AB350 Pro4
- CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (stock cooler)
- RAM: 1x8GB DDR4 2666MHz Vengeance LPX
- GPU: RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB
- Power Supply: Nox Hummer 650W Bronze 80+
- Case: Bitfenix Neos (2 front fans, 1 back fan)
All overclocks were adjusted using Ryzen Master and verified with CPU-Z stress tests and HWmonitor. RAM was configured with XMP 2.0 at 2666MHz. Fans are set to performance mode, and Cool N'Quiet is disabled.
Current specs:
- Frequency: 3.7GHz, Voltage: 1.225
- Idle temperature: 25°C, Stress: 61°C
- In-game (Destiny2): 40/55°C max
- Frequency: 3.8GHz, Voltage: 1.350 (below 1.35 causes crashes)
- Idle temperature: 27°C, Stress: 71°C
- In-game (Destiny2): 45/65°C max
- 4-core test (2 cores disabled): 3.8GHz, Voltage: 1.325 (crash occurs)
- Idle temperature: 26°C, Stress: 62°C
- In-game (Destiny 2): 40/56°C max
That’s it. Every attempt above 3.8 GHz, even at 1.4x speed, leads to crashes after a few minutes of stress testing.
I think the safe range is around 3.7GHz with a voltage of 1.225 or the 4-core configuration at 3.8GHz and 1.325V. Any suggestions?
