Feeling lucky today $)

[jediJo90]

Mainly just for anybody that cares, but anyway. Ryzen 5 1600 with Corsair h100i v2, sitting on a gigabyte ax370 gaming k7, with 2 team-force Vulcan 3000 4gb sticks clocked to 3200 @ a manual set voltage of 1.35 and auto timings of 16, 18, 18, 38. CPU clocked to 3.9 @ Vcore manually set 1.325. SOC manually set to 1.1. Cpu Idles at 25° and maxed @ 57° after 1 hour of prime95 blended test at 100% load with 0 errors. VRM maxed @ 65°. Think I'll let this go for another hour and then press my luck with 4.0ghz. Feeling lucky today $) $).

Looking good, brother!!
Home stretch to 4ghz

Curious rad placement with all that room up top. Outside of that, looks good, and go get that 4ghz!

Lookin good JediJo

Normally, if there's only one radiator in my builds, there used and positioned as an intake. My exhaust is always up top, so that left me with only the bottom to mount the radiator. Many, many tests I've personally conducted prove the radiator as an intake to be best for CPU temps. There are many factors as I'm sure your aware of, but with my given circumstances this is how I roll ha. Thanks for the encouragement. I really couldn't have gotten this far without you guys and this forum.

Thank ya thank ya



Thanks man @Johan45



CPU temps rose to a max of 58°. Just set it to 3.95 and kept the same Vcore voltage of 1.325 along with everything else. Gonna let p95 run for a while. I'll keep you guys posted.

Bumped it up to 3.95 and kept the same voltages and everything else. Ran p95 blended for an HR and maxed at 54° with the window slightly opened as it was getting warm with the furnace running. 0 errors from p95. Rebooted and bumped it up to 4.0 and rose the Vcore straight to 1.35. It booted right up )). Gonna run p95 and see what happens. Wish me luck. Maybe we'll take it beyond 4 GHz . If I can drop the voltage from where it's at now and test with zero errors I should be able to go beyond the 4.0 GHz. Maybe we'll hit a ryzen 1600 record today.

Looking good, from reading around, they don't go much beyond 4ghz, if yours can, then definitely good chip!

Before all is said and done I would run Prime95 for at least 2 hr. to make sure of stability. It's not uncommon to be able to pass 1 hr. of Prime95 but still not be quite stable.

Lookin good JediJo

Failed in the first 7 minutes at worker 4 on p95. She kept on trucking. Left for an hour and it's was still running. No bsods. I just upped my Vcore to 1.36 and it's spiking up to 1.38 at times. Any idea why that might be? It worries me being that high, even if it is for a split second. That's why I manually set it to 1.36.

Load spikes and it overshoots a little?

Right.. Ive been letting change in frequency run for at least 2 hours. As I did at 3.95 GHz. Just didn't mention it. Failed at 4.0 GHz @ a voltage of 1.35. didn't bsod of freeze it was still running. So I bumped the voltage up to 1.36. Vcore is spiking at 1.38 every 10-15 second. I manually set my voltage to 1.36. Do you know of any way to combat this; keep it from spiking? Sorta a newb at overclocking, especially amd FYI.. if I can get this stable at 4.0ghz its gonna be my daily at that frequency but 1.38 volts is too high for me.

I'm not sure how to check if that's what's happening. Load is at a constant 100% while stressing.

Well, switching between tasks is fast business, software may not register

[jediJo90]

4.0 GHz stable. P95 ran for over 2 hrs. Gonna let it run over night about 9-10 hrs. Been gaming all evening with not a single crash. Happy as hell

And kept it under 1.4 volts. This chip is a keeper. Wish these things could clock further but she's fast enough. Hopeful for the 12nm chips this year.

Way to go! 4ghz on AMD is rocket!
