ryzen 5 1600x 24/7 cpu clock
Hi everyone, I recently overclocked my Ryzen 5 1600X to 4GHz at 1.35V and wanted to know if it's safe to keep all six cores running constantly at that speed, even when they're not being used. I'm using the NZXT X62 Kraken with cooling and running it on an ASUS Crosshair 6 Hero mainboard. My idle temperatures are between 30-36°C, and during games they reach 55-62°C.
David119 shares his experience about the gaming settings, noting a great performance at 4ghz with a 1.35 vcore. He mentions the temperatures are impressive but warns against exceeding 80 degrees. He also discusses stress testing results, observing stable performance around 66c after a brief drop to 70-74c. He advises caution due to sustained high usage.
AMD states that a voltage of 1.35V is suitable for sustained overclocking of the Ryzen chip.
Listen up, those settings should work great for you.
Great performance on the OC. With 4ghz and a 1.35 vcore, it's solid. The temperatures are okay... really impressive.
You didn't mention your stress temps, but as long as they stay under 80, I'd be dancing and singing along!
Nice OC. I'm at 3.9 with 1.35, though my cooler isn't quite as strong as yours. It's an AMD Wraith Max, and it performs well. But at 3.9 I'm getting close to the 80c mark, so I'm being careful.
You're good to go.
Roland Of Gilead shares his thoughts on the performance. He praises the solid result at 4ghz with a 1.35 vcore, noting the temperatures are impressive. He mentions not listing stress temps but suggests they should stay under 80. He compares his AMD Wraith Max to another model, highlighting the importance of staying careful at 3.9. He expresses satisfaction with the current usage but hopes for longer durability before the Zen refresh.
David119 is sharing feedback on the performance of a specific AMD processor. He praises the excellent results achieved with a high clock speed and stable temperatures, noting that the system runs smoothly without overheating. He mentions his own cooler's performance as slightly better but still acknowledges the solid output. David also discusses stress testing results, expressing concern about sustained high core usage at 4GHz and 1.35V, suggesting caution. He recommends staying within the manufacturer's guidelines and advises monitoring temperatures closely. He emphasizes that the CPU is reliable for now and reassures the recipient that the voltage settings are appropriate.

Hey there, listen up, you should be pleased with those settings. You got a great outcome on the OC. With 4ghz and a 1.35 vcore, it's a solid performance. The temperatures are okay... really impressive.
You didn't mention your stress temps, but as long as they stay under 80, I'd be dancing and singing too!

You're good to go!
During the stress test, I saw a few seconds of temps between 70-74c, then it dropped to a stable 66c throughout the whole test. So now I'm worried that all cores are constantly running at 4ghz with 1.35v? I saw a thread where someone mentioned that such high usage for 24/7 can damage the CPU.
😀
Not that I'm attached to this CPU, but it would be nice if it lasted until the Zen refresh release.
😀
AMD suggests keeping the vcore below 1.42 for continuous use. At 1.35 you're safe.
If you're certain, and I've only recently learned this in the past few days (since I have the same chip and I'm OC'ing too), download the core temp and check it. My VID is 1.375. As long as you stay within your VID voltage limits, you'll be fine.
Increasing the vcore will shorten the lifespan of your CPU, but if you're not pushing it to 1.45v or more, that won't be a problem. Assuming a typical CPU lasts about 10 years with proper care, overclocking at normal levels might reduce it to around 8 years. That's nothing to stress about.
Just to clarify, your OC looks solid at a decent voltage. Don't worry!
It told me my VID is 0.8875v—what does that mean? Good or bad?
😀

listen up, at those configurations you should feel great
great performance on the OC. With a 4ghz clock and a 1.35 vcore that’s a strong outcome. The temperatures are fine... really impressive.
You didn’t mention your stress temperatures, but as long as they stay under 80, I’d be dancing while listening!
Nice OC. I’m at 3.9 with a 1.35, but my cooler isn’t as efficient as yours. It’s an AMD Wraith Max and it performs well. However, at 3.9 I’m reaching the 80°C mark, so I’m being cautious.
You’re good to go
The stress test showed a brief spike to 70-74°C, then it settled at 66°C consistently throughout the test. So now I should be concerned that all cores are constantly running at 4ghz with a 1.35vcore? I saw a discussion where someone mentioned that such high-frequency usage every day can harm the CPU.
😀
Not that I’m tied to this chip, but it would be nice if it lasted until the Zen refresh release.

If you’re certain, and I’ve only recently learned this in the past few days (since I have the same chip and am doing OC too), download the core temp and check it. It will reveal your stock VID. Mine is 1.375. As long as you stay within your VID voltage limits, you’ll be fine.
Increasing the vcore will shorten the lifespan of your CPU, but if you’re not pushing it to 1.45v or more, the impact won’t be significant. Assuming a typical CPU lasts about 10 years with proper care, overclocking at normal levels might reduce that to around 8 years. So don’t worry much.
Just to clarify, your current setup gives you a solid OC at a reasonable voltage. Don’t stress!
It also showed me my VID is 0.8875v – what does that indicate?
😀
haha
I did the same!
Turn off the OC, restart, and check the core temp again. Then it will display your real VID. When I overclocked and checked the temperature, I was shocked – 0.887... wow, what just happened?
Give it a try and let me know how it goes
