[SOLVED] Help with CPU and memory Overclock on my Ryzen 5 3600 .

[Ashvin Srinivasan]

Hi i tried to overclock my PC.

Original Specs :
CPU : Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 Ghz.
Memory : Cruical Ballistix DDR4 2666 Mhz CL 16. ( Probably Micron E Die. Pls Correct me if i am wrong )
GPU : Zotac 1650 Super -> 1530 Mhz Core, 6000 Mhz Memory.
Motherboard : Gigabyte B550m DS3H.
Cooler : Deepcool Gammax 400 Pro -> Single Tower, Dual 120mm Fans Air cooler.

Overclocked Specs :
CPU : Ryzen 5 3600 -> 4.35 Ghz All Cores @1.26v VCore and 1.14v SoC. Idles at 45°C and reaches 83°C when stressed to 75W TDP.
Memory : 3200 Mhz CL 16-18-18-18-40 1T @ 1.35v
GPU : 1725 Mhz Core, 7500 Mhz Memory.

Question :
Are my voltages safe?
Can anybody suggest how to improve on it?
Can voltages on RAM be increased more? If yes, pls suggest SoC voltages for it.

Thanks in Advance!!

Answers:

1. Yes your voltages are safe.
2. No need to touch Vcore nor SOC if system is stable and temps are OK. With a better cooler you can Overclock depending on the sample to 4.6-4.8Ghz with AIO water cooling.
3. If RAM functions and system boots at correct SPD, leave it alone.

if your going to Overclock then do it in Bios and learn your Bios.
There are many guides for overclocking and all systems are different so a step by step Bios change would be impossible.

I overclock in bios settings only.

My system is completely stable.
I was wondering if i could extract some more performance off my build.

The 5+3 VRM on that motherboard doesn't install a whole lot of confidence IMO towards some astounding OC. I actually feel like what you have is darned good, and if it's stable....

If you are set on trying more I would probably consider pointing a case fan or using a downdraft cooler such that the motherboard is getting some supplemental cooling.

What is the max safe voltage for my memory?
I use crucial ballistix 2666 mhz 2x8 GB module. Link : https://www.crucial.in/memory/ddr4/bl2k8g26c16u4b

Typically that limit is said to be 1.4V. This could certainly vary.

If you already have the RAM running from 2666 to 3200 at the same latency it seems you have done quite well.

Should i enable XMP while manually setting RAM timing?

not mutually exclusive, sort of one or the other
