[SOLVED] RYZEN 3600 OC - advice

[Redittuser25]

Hello everybody!

I have upgraded my CPU from Ryzen 1600 to Ryzen 3600. As far as I know the overclocking is a bit different from Ryzen 1600. Basically, I have managed to manually overclock Ryzen 3600 to 4.3GHz on all cores by setting Vcore to 1.280 V.
There is a screenshot of HWinfo during Cinebench R20 run (towards the end of second run). Are there any "red flags" that I should be worried about (link to the picture can be seen down below)? I have been told that I should really be careful about CPU TDC, EDC and PPT values but as you can see from the screenshot I didn't exceed the limits, right? Temperature looks ok to me as well (69,9 °C full load, 35ish °C idle)
My question is this: Is this OC safe? (I only play games on PC)
PC specifications: Ryzen 3600
B350 Tomahawk motherboard (I know, it is no ideal to have this old motherboard, but it runs smoothly)
GTX 1070 TI
RAM: DDR4, 2x 8GB, 3200 MHz Vegeance LPX

If that test was the FFT's and no AVX's and temps are to your liking, you can move on to other test to confirm your OC.
IN any Oc changing of voltages and frequincies are the easy part but the most time Consuming part comes with the Testing Hours it takes to confirm.

I didn't consider my Oc stable until it could pass P95 for 8 to 10 hrs, Realbench Stress test which is a 8hr test using half the amount of your ram, Occt, Aida64 extreme stress test with cpu,cache and ram boxs checked for 8-10 hrs. then hrs of actual gaming hrs looking for any problems.
Good Luck

That is a lot of hours of stability testing. :O I understand that to be 100 % sure, one needs to go through that process. However, I have been reading some opinions about excessively testing your OC stability which can damage your hardaware. So I am reluctant to torture my PC for longer than 2 hours of testing 😀 But please don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing you for testing your OC rather than I am really careful about my hardware because I am still a student so I wouldn't be able to replace damaged parts if something went wrong. Anyway, after reading some more information about the new architecture, I have decided to put the OC on Auto for now. Thank you for responding! I really appreciate every suggestion

Ocing is the art of patience and paying strict attention to the details of what is happening with small increments and not for everyone that can't temper there expectations with the new processor's.
For the most part ocing has been taken out of our hands compared to the pervious platform.
But if the Time is taken with the right expectations can still have gains.
But only you can measure is it worth it for a few more ghz or lower temps and voltages.

B350 Tomahawk motherboard.... What VRM temps are you getting because you need to monitor that. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...qVxdCR9daIVNyMatydkpFA/htmlview#gid=639584818

Try zip-tying some fans over the VRM, maybe that will help lower the temps

msi b350 tomahawk vrm very heat
« on: 09-July-17, 02:45:29 »
i have a mother board as in thread , i have noted that the temperature of vrm is very high, during stress test it reaches 100°C with vcore 1.35v on my ryzen 1600 at 4.0Ghz, i have also a arctic liquid freezer 240 and this affect vrm temp because there's not a fan on the cpu.

i think there is a foundamental problem in this. many people say of this problem? where is the real cause?

you need airflow to cool a heatsink, mainly by wicking heat away from it.

A alien concept these days, were we have no air flow vrm tests.
