Seeking advice on overclocking as a beginner.
Seeking advice on overclocking as a beginner.
My CPU is a Ryzen 5 1600 with the stock Wraith Spire cooler. I increased the overclock from 3.2ghz to 3.5ghz at a 1.35 voltage. The outcomes were:

From this, I observed that the fans behaved erratically and I don’t understand why. Also, I’m uncertain if 65 degrees is suitable for such a small overclock...
EDIT - CPUID Hardware Monitor indicates the fans are reaching 56784 RPM, which is clearly not feasible.

Tell me your multiplier, reference clock, and core voltage. You mentioned wanting to gradually increase the multiplier, and when the system starts to become unstable, raise the voltage. Liquid cooling is strongly advised but not mandatory. A good amount of airflow is essential. A temperature of 65 degrees seems acceptable if it comes from a benchmark or stress test. If that’s the idle temperature... well... you should revert to the default settings xD.
Your CPU usage was 100%—the fans are the main concern. Are your fan controls functioning properly? Changing them might help. Alternatively, manually adjusting the speed could stabilize things. Tools like MSI AfterBruner can assist in setting consistent fan speeds to avoid fluctuations.
What are your multiplier, reference clock, and core voltage settings? You mentioned gradually increasing the multiplier and raising the voltage when stability issues arise. Liquid cooling is strongly advised but not mandatory. A significant airflow is necessary. A temperature of 65 degrees seems acceptable if it comes from a benchmark or stress test. If that's the idle temperature... well, you should revert to the default settings xD
