Ryzen 5 2600x
Alright so I just came home from college and got rid of the wraith spire cooler and put in a clc 240mm qnd finally overclocked my 2600x to 4.2 ghz, downside being since I'm too impatient to wait until I go back to college to overclock, I had to to it in ryzen master becuase all I had was a mouse at my house no keyboard, and to get it stable at 4.2 I'm currently using 1.475v, which passed a 5 hour aida64 and cinebench, is there any harm to be had at 1.475v?
It appears the advised maximum voltage for a Ryzen 5 is around 1.45v, which is just above the safe limit. Would it be possible to maintain a steady voltage at that level?
it won't meet cinebench at 1.45
probably it comes down to the quality of the motherboard; if 1.475v is reliable long-term, it might be fine.
with a high-end board that has good voltage regulation and a PSU that delivers clean power, you should be okay.
I wouldn't push it beyond 1.45, particularly for everyday driving. It should work okay for a few short runs or bench sessions for hwbot, but the extra 100MHz won't really help much for regular use except maybe a slight improvement in a few points. You might want to lower the voltage and boost the LLC if you're not reaching the temperature limit. This could make things more stable at lower voltages, though your temps will rise.
