[SOLVED] R5 3600 4.725GHz 1.45V Overclock

[Teqnap]

Helllooo,
I was really bored today and decided to crank up my overclock on my R5 3600. I was currently running 4.4GHz 1.165V daily and I knew my silicon was really rare.
My goal obviously wasn't a %99 stable overclock but I wanted my CPU to pass R15, R20 or CPU-Z bench.
But at the end I couldn't pass both R15 and R20 because when my CPU heats up to 85C they give error and close their self (not crashing). So the only benchmark I was able to pass at 4.725GHz 1.45V was CPU-Z. I was able to pass R15 at 4.65GHz 1.375V.
Here are the results ;

I wonder how much current the cpu pulled attempting that...

As long as it's a temporary thing, it'll be fine, I guess.

Someone actually successfully use PBO lvl4?

It was pulling 130-140W at 1.425V, I didn't check 1.45V but I think it was pulling around 150W.

Nah, that's not the same thing. I wish I could explain it better...
In stock operation:
-for lighter loads, the cpu draws high voltage and high current, but it's just across a couple of active cores
-for heavy loads, the cpu draws low voltage and low current, across all active cores

With manual overclocking on these cpus, the user is instead:
-in disregard of light or heavy loads, the cpu draws low voltage and high current, regardless of how many cores are active
That continuous high current draw even during heavy loads is apparently part of the reason some users have managed to hyper-degrade and destroy their Ryzen 3000 cpus in a matter of months...
I say part of it, because I have yet to fully grasp it myself.

My everyday use is 1.165V and sometimes I like to used it more overclocked so I set it 4.5GHz 1.225V, is it a problem. I heard some people degrade their R5 3600 at 1.3V.

I wish this didn't talk about just voltage, because there's more to it than that.

What's safe varies between chips.

If you want to know your chips maximum FIT voltage, turn on PBO and max PPT, TDC and EDC and run a worse-case workload(Prime95).

Somewhat problematic is that, unlike Intel's cpus, Ryzen 3000 does not separate AVX instructions; on Intel mobos you can set AVX offsets, with AMD's, you can't.
Those offsets help with power consumption, because AVX really cranks things up.

@Phaaze88 What cooler are you using to cool

I won't be finding my FIT voltage because I will be running max 1.25V worst case senario. But damn people are suggesting 1.3V as a %100 stable and safe voltage. What a dummies. Thank you dude for helping me.
