Question prime 95 test freeze

[ryankillfu]

hi i am trying to oc my ryzen 2600 above 4.0 ghz but my system locks up when i oc to 4.1 during i.b.t. when cpu temps reach about 70-77

What's with the Title saying Intel and your cpu is Ryzen?
It's probably cheap mobo/ram or psu, but you haven't listed any specs at all
Also not to mention how you are OCing it

 

[ryankillfu]

mobo taichi x470
ram gskill flare x cl14 3200mhz
psu Roswell 850w 80+ gold
oc through bios
and says" intel burn test" the stress test i am performing to check stability
i believe it might be temps but cant figure out why it would freeze before reaching max temp but it never went above 77 before freezing

Your equipment sounds good enough, what is the cooler?

IBT is for checking temps, it kinda sucks for stability. Asus RealBench is for testing stability. That said, the fact that even IBT is balking at the OC means 1 of 2 things. You are either doing something wrong on the OC (just bumping vcore and multiplier isn't good for OC) or you've hit the silicon lottery winner cpu.

Amd and Intel both, only guarantee their boost clocks. ANYthing after/above that is pot-luck. There's no guarantee your cpu will ever get or be stable at 4.0GHz, no matter what any idiot with a camera is getting on YouTube.

i am stable at 4.0 no problem just want to get alittle more can run cinebench at 4.2 but not completely stable just trying to figure out why it is freezing with out hitting max temps and no bsod

sorry my mistake it's not Intel burn test I was using it was prime95 small fft s

Freezing/crashing is an expected part of overclocking. It means you need to either increase the voltage or decrease the clock speed. This is very basic overclocking knowledge, if you weren't aware of this you may want to go read some overclocking guides before you continue.

update iwas able to run prim p95 with 4.1 ghz with ram set to 2933 1.35v currently testing 4.1 with ram at 3200 1.4v

but my issue was it was freezing not crashing usually means that you can get past it and it wasn't because of thermal so i knew it could go further just never thought it was because my ram wanted 0.05v more currently at 4.15 ghz still testing stability but looks good

update got 4.125 stable
testing ram 3600mhz cl14

Not sure what you mean by "get past it". And yes, it is entirely possible to be unstable despite having good temps.

You're typically better off overclocking CPU first and making sure it's stable before starting on RAM OC. Some people will even disable RAM XMP and run it at 2133 while testing CPU stability.

you should really read the above posts already got cpu stable 4.125ghz
