Safe voltage margin for Ryzen 1600 OC running at 3.75ghz
Safe voltage margin for Ryzen 1600 OC running at 3.75ghz
I'm checking if your settings are within safe limits for overclocking. If they aren't, I'll suggest the appropriate voltage offset for your Asus Prime B350 Plus with a DDR4-2400 CPU.
I am trying to overclock my Ryzen 1600 to 3.75 ghz with a voltage offset of 0.16250. Is this safe? If not, what should I adjust the voltage offset to on an Asus Prime B350 Plus motherboard that uses DDR4-2400? I'm using the same CPU, board, and cooler as you. I also have higher clocked RAM at 3000 MHz. Currently I've reached 3.85 GHz with an offset of +0.1125, which equals about 1.35 v according to CPU-Z. If I choose a higher offset like +0.1625, I might be pushing around 1.4 v. As Vellinious mentioned, that could be the maximum safe limit for long-term overclocking in air. For the clocks you have, try reducing it accordingly.
What cooling method are you employing? In air, I'd likely stay under 1.4. With water, 1.45 seems quite secure.
What cooling method are you employing? In air, I’d likely not exceed 1.4. On water, 1.45 seems quite secure. I’d recommend avoiding 1.45 for continuous use and limiting it to 1.4v.
It relies on proper cooling. AMD confirmed 1.45v is acceptable if cooling is adequate. I don't think air cooling would be enough.
The outcome relies on how well it cools. AMD mentioned 1.45v is acceptable with adequate cooling. I wouldn't think air cooling enough. They suggested a maximum of 1.45v, but I don't run it continuously because it would wear out the CPU faster.
Curious, I didn't hear the AMD representative mention that... and definitely not the one in the Ryzen discussion on OCN.
Well, I don't know. That's what I thought, but it looks like the internet isn't always clear about the maximum voltage requirements anymore.
What voltage offset should I apply to achieve 1.4 volts when it's already considered safe? I noticed in CPU-Z I was exceeding that level and experiencing significant game performance drops. Could it be due to excessive voltage being applied?
