Supporting 4c/8th generation and OC Ryzen 5 2600
Supporting 4c/8th generation and OC Ryzen 5 2600
My configuration includes an R5 2600, Gigabyte 1070ti, Asrock B450m Pro4, and an 8gb x 2 Avexir ddr4 2400mhz system. As mentioned before, I attempted to overclock the Ryzen to 4.1ghz across all cores using different voltage settings ranging from 1.25 to 1.4v, but all attempts failed due to overheating or exceeding voltage limits. I then used Ryzen Master in Game Mode and successfully achieved 4.1ghz at 1.3625v (RMM only activates 3c/3t).
I’m interested in enabling just 4 cores while keeping the other 2 under very low frequency, since I can’t disable them. Is this a safe approach for long-term use? Could it damage the processor by putting excessive power on cores 5 and 6? For reference, here’s an example image: https://imgur.com/HaM9dVR
Turning off two cores for extended use won't harm your processor's lifespan. Ensure the temperature and voltage remain within acceptable ranges for optimal longevity.

The issue is whether all cores will operate at 1.3625v when running at the lowest speed of 600mhz. The goal is to keep only one core active in the CCX core2 while keeping the other two at their minimum speed. This adjustment aims to lower temperature, reduce power consumption, and achieve stable operation with just four cores working together every eight cycles.
Hamdan89 is discussing a configuration where they cannot disable the dual-core setup. They mention a link with ccx core 1 and 2, each holding 3 cores or 6 threads. The suggestion is to enable only one core in the CCX core 2 while keeping the other two cores at their lowest speed of 600MHz. The goal is to run all cores at 1.3625V, including the lower speed, to reduce temperature and power consumption, aiming for stable operation on 4 cores or 8 threads. They express hope for a clear understanding of their explanation.
