Don't you need a 2700x to OC?
Nope not as far as I know of.

They were able to get a stable 4.2ghz on that 2700 @ 1.4187V.
I thought you did need one, proved myself wrong once questioned.They were able to get a stable 4.2ghz on that 2700 @ 1.4187V.
Download Prime95 and CoreTemp. Prime95 puts 100% load on your CPU and with CoreTemp you watch your CPU temp.
I would go to 4.2Ghz but defenetly not for 24/7 use, as the boost clock is also great. Bump the voltage in BIOS and the frequency and test with Prime95.
I would start with the higher voltage and going lower as testing, the time it crashes thats the sweet voltage spot. Good luck!
AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Review: The Non-X Factor
AMD's Ryzen 7 2700 sports the same eight-core, 16-thread architecture as the company's more expensive Ryzen 7 2700X. But this is one of those rare situations when we think it's worth paying extra for the higher-end modelwww.tomshardware.com
You can increase fan speed, if you want, but first do e temp test as I said above, see what temp it will reach on full load, leave it for 1,2 hours on Prime95.Would a 4.0GHz and upwards require me to increase fan speed and therefore voltage to fans?
I also use 4 x 4GB sticks of DDR4 memory, but they are in two pairs and aren’t both the same speed, does this effect any memory over locking I may want to do?Max temp for gaming/general use is 80C but under is preferable. Stress testing can go up to like 85C. Voltage shouldn't exceed 1.450V.
I wouldn't expect a high overclock from the stock cooler but I would start at 3.9ghz with stock voltage.
List which models. Mixing and matching memory, especially if different speeds isn't a good idea because even if it boots up it may not be 100% stable.I also use 4 x 4GB sticks of DDR4 memory, but they are in two pairs and aren’t both the same speed, does this effect any memory over locking I may want to do?
After looking at my ryzen 7 2700, it’s only clocking an average of 3.2GHz which it shouldn’t be, I should be getting near 4.0Ghz Turbo?
