Solving to boost Ryzen 3600 to 4.4ghz
Solving to boost Ryzen 3600 to 4.4ghz
I was curious about what a solid score would be with cinebench r20 for an overclocked 3600. I'm currently running my CPU at 1.325 v and 1.15 soc voltage at 4.4ghz, PBO off, and the temperatures stayed under 73 degrees during a two-hour stress test. My Cinebench scores were 3930 for multi-threaded and 510 for single-threaded. Are these results acceptable for a 3600, or does this overclocking not justify it?
Well, this indicates instability. As I expected, your temperatures are higher than anticipated since you hadn't thoroughly stress tested. If gaming caused this, the system would likely crash or restart. For maximum temperatures, overclocking advice suggests keeping it below 80°C and fine-tuning your overclock settings to reach that limit. Also, with Prime95, temperatures might have exceeded 86°C if the test continued without stopping. It’s probably better to start by lowering all core overclocks to 4.2 and re-test with Prime95. For initial testing, you could run Prime95 for about an hour; if no processes are halted, you’re on track. For more stable results...
Hey there,
Well, firstly, if you have it posting at 4.4 all core OC, that's pretty good. You might post some screenies to show CPU z with the clocks, or HW monitor.
However, being stable is another thing altogether. Zen 2 (R3600), pretty much maxes out at about 4.2ghz, and often it's better to let PBO do it's job. There is little OC headroom with Zen 2.
What are you stress testing with. I find it hard to believe 73 degrees or less at 4.4ghz. You should be testing with Prime95 small fft's to give you max heat at a given voltage. Then you will know where your temps are at.
Maybe you have some AIO keeping the CPU cool, with loads of case fans? But, 73 for stressing seems low.
I was using open hardware monitor for temperature monitoring. I’m running a big tower from Aerocool Predator X with multiple exhaust fans, including two 200mm, one 90mm intake fan, and several 120mm fans. I recently bought this case second-hand a week ago and have been adjusting settings and overclocking to achieve the best performance I can manage. Since I’m new to this, I’m unsure how to verify stability properly. I ran a stress test so far and tested games to see the maximum temperature in open hardware monitor. It seems I don’t have a clear indication of whether everything is working correctly. I plan to share the results tonight after work.
Take a look, you're getting some solid outcomes there.
Perform a stability check as recommended, and refine it further. The Vcore is quite good at 1.325v – that's impressive.
Test it with Prime to observe the temperature trends.
Let us know how things are going.
I think if two 'workers' halted operating in a prime that's a serious issue😅? I don't know where to check since I noticed the maximum temperature rose by 86 degrees during the test.
Well, this indicates instability. As I expected, your temperatures are higher than anticipated since you hadn't thoroughly stress tested. If gaming caused this, the system would likely crash or restart. For maximum temperatures, when overclocking, aim to keep it below 80°C and fine-tune your settings to reach that limit. Also, with Prime95, temperatures might have exceeded 86°C if the test wasn’t halted. Perhaps begin by lowering all-core overclocks to 4.2 and re-test with Prime95. For initial stability checks, run Prime95 for roughly an hour; if no shutdowns occur, you’re on track. For more reliable overclocking, most users will run Prime95 for several hours, confirming CPU stability. Then gradually adjust speed, voltage, and fan settings to achieve perfect stability.
Hey everyone, thanks a lot! I'm planning to look into it this evening. The crowd is always loud, but I don't mind the noise—it's actually pretty cool, right?
No worries!
The fans are kicking into high gear since the CPU is getting warm. If you follow an overclocking process starting low and gradually increasing, testing as you go, you should be able to achieve a solid boost with temperatures below 80°C and quieter fans because the CPU won’t be overheating.
Finding the right balance is key—reaching the sweet spot will make everything work well!
If you need further help, just send me a message and we can go through some numbers together to see if stability is possible.
I adjusted the fans myself to 100%, thinking it wouldn't cause any issues. Thanks a lot, mate—I'm definitely going ahead.
