How far should I push this Ryzen 2700..?

[jeffs42885]

Greetings all,

New build here. It has been years, I built a phenom x6 in 2011 for diablo 3, and I upgraded it last year with an FX8350, but the board is junk, it boots slow - even with 16GB DDR, SSD, tweaking, etc..It's just not reliable.

I just built a Ryzen rig, mostly for gaming.

2700X
ROG Strix 470-F
32GB Gskill 3200 (16-18-18-38)
RTX 2060
Corsair Liquid Cooling
Tons of Corsair LL120's
etc..

It runs great. I was able to get it overclocked to 4.3 GHZ, at 1.475 Volts, and the memory at rated speed of 3200. Running prime 95 / Cinebench (1866) It does NOT get above 65* celcius. It has not crashed at all. To me, I think that this is an excellent overclock, and I think I have honestly maxed it out and I shouldn't bother anymore overclocking. I have been gaming a bit..Mostly Anthem (Maxed everything @4k) and it runs perfect. No issues.

I guess I just haven't done this in a while - And all videos I have watched/tutorials/documents have said that 4.3 is really the max. And I think I am lucky I am getting that speed at 1.475 Volts. Does anyone think I should bother pushing it further? I have a feeling the results will be diminishing. But, Just checking!

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't go any further, your voltage is getting kind of high as it is. They recommend staying around 1.4V for longevity but I know one person who has ran an 1800X for nearly two years at 1.5 V and it's still going strong. The choice is your of course I'm just relaying the recommendation

It's doubtful you will get any benefit from pushing above 4.3Ghz if you're even able to, not to mention you are already into the danger zone voltage wise.

Here's a great write up by our own Johan45. In this review he reached a limit of 4.3Ghz at the voltage limit of 1.45v.

EDIT: Ninja'd by the man himself. LOL

Push your ram more. 4.3 I'm deep in the 1900's. You should be able to push the ram a bit more. I had the strix and it wasn't as good as my gaming 7 it still pushed some 3000 to 3300 running 4 sticks of 8gb. 2 sticks I was at over 3600.

Thanks all for the responses.

I just changed my memory timings to the factory ones, and I am running the memory at 3333.

SO close to a 1900!
Max 67* C.

 

[jeffs42885]

This looks much better, but I think I could do better with the timings.

Noticed my tRP was off. Adjusted..Now at 1878 Cinebench! Almost to that goal of 1900.

You're doing well, that Hynix RAM isn't the easiest to persuade at higher speeds

I hit on a very old install of windows. Same install from 4 systems ago. 2700x 1927 4.23ghz with 4 sticks of ddr4 3000 at 3360ish

1700x 1860 at 4.17ghz 2 sticks of ddr4 3000 at 3630ish

I would try squeezing more out of your ram. My 2666 micron hit 3360 in my gaming 7 my x470 strix f could only do something like 3320. My hynx in my 3000 2 sticks hits just over 3300 and 4 sticks just under 3400.



What's your soc voltage at? I wouldn't have a problem with a 1.47v vcore under water if the temps are fine. Hell most mobos don't report the right voltage anyways my gaming 7 seems to come in a bit low when mesured compaired to the software. My hard limit for soc voltage is 1.065v. You can go to 1.1v but I don't go higher the. 1.065v

1.150 V SOC.

1.150 V SOC.

You could probably take that down. What about under load? Auto LLC mine would get up pretty high.

Update after some more tweaking and playing with fans.

Memory at 3200MHZ
Timings at 16-18-18-38
CPU @ 4.3
Voltage @ 1.4

CB15 - 1916, that's the highest I have ever seen. Max temp during CB was 59*. I still have to tweak my fans. I am very happy with this result.

 

[Zerileous]

How is your vsoc? Shouldn't take much more than 1.0V to run 16gb 2 sticks at 3200MHz. Otherwise looks like a very nice OC!

 

[Johan45]

I think what people are missing is he's running 4 sticks of Hynix so he's going to need a bit higher SOC voltage and his is FINE
They recommend a 1.2 V limit under ambient air cooling.
