[SOLVED] Overclocking 5800x

I’m concerned because on the default settings on my pc I get 4.7ghz but at 1.45v while 100% my temps are 80c I think it thermal throttles around then. I recently used ai suite 3 to auto oc to see what the temps look like and it keeps my chip at around 60-70c on 1.248v which in my mind seems better because less heat I’ve set my core ratio to 4.4ghz. How would I go about testing this oc. I have cinebench r23 and blender. If it doesn’t crash am I good ? My cinebench scores are almost the same with a lower voltage and lower clock. Give or take 300 points

Please post full system specs including make and model of each part. Personally I would try to manually OC. Just as a general disclaimer doing a manual OC across all core generally leads to lower performance in lightly threaded programs including games. You can certainly get benefits in all core workloads with a manual OC though. Start a 1.3v on the vCore and set load line calibration to level 2 or 3. Set the clock to 4.5ghz and work your way up 25-50mghz at a time until you get a crash doing 15-30 minute worth of r23 runs. If you want more speed while being stable you have to increase voltage. If you increase voltage do it in 25mv steps, so 1.325 > 1.35 > 1.375 et cetera. Between each voltage step increase clocks 25-50 mghz until...

Give or take 300 points. My main question is if I change my core ratio will the pc automatically pick perfect voltages for that ratio? Because when I set it to 4.4ghz the voltages went up from 1.15 to 1.248

If you increase voltage do it in 25mv steps, so 1.325 > 1.35 > 1.375 et cetera. Between each voltage step increase clocks 25-50 mghz until unstable again. When you reach an acceptable speed dial back the voltage in 5mv steps until it crashes in r23. Then jump the voltage back up 10mv and test for 1 hour. If you do not get a crash you are most likely stable, if you crash again add another 10mvs until you are stable and at an acceptable thermal performance.

I will definitely try that. The temps are a lot better on lower voltages that’s foresure tho
