What voltage is best for overclocking Ryzen 5 1500x
You're starting your first CPU overclock on a Ryzen 5 1500X. It's normal to feel uncertain about the voltage settings. For a target speed of 3.7GHz, you'll typically need to set the voltage between 1.8V and 2.1V depending on your motherboard model. Always check your motherboard manual for precise recommendations.
Adjust the voltage to 1.325 (offset) and observe the results. Configure the SOC to 1.15 and DRAM to 1.35 to explore further. You may encounter obstacles with the FCLK when both an OC and RAM OC are involved, and the IMC performance is subpar. Good luck!
It's just a suggestion, not a strict requirement. Overclocking RAM depends on your specific system and needs.
You're checking your multithreading stats in Task Manager. With 4 cores, you typically expect around 8 threads per core, which would be 32 threads total. The number you saw (2244) likely includes all threads—including background processes, system tasks, and possibly even virtualized or scheduled jobs. These aren't just regular threads but can represent different types of processes running on your system.
You can handle it smoothly on the stock cooler at 3.9ghz and 1.3825v, just like with 1.4v. The main reason is that the 4c CPUs struggle to dissipate such high heat. These are two distinct types of threads.
I'm sorry, there seems to be some confusion here. It looks like you were trying to compare the Stealth and Wraith Spire coolers, but it appears they're not the same thing. The Stealth cooler is unrelated to the Spire model, especially given its much higher power rating. I hope this helps resolve your question. Also, I noted you mentioned 1.35v for performance reasons—it can actually support up to 4.00ghz. However, I only ran short tests lasting about five minutes, not extended sessions.
