Ryzen 5 1600 Noob Overclock

[mundo_roses]

Hi guys, I recently upgrade my gear and bought a Ryzen 5 1600 with Wraith Spire Cooler/ AB350M Pro4 ASROCK mobo/ 2x4Gb Kingston HyperX 2400mhz RAM/ 600W Corsair PSU and after reading some overclocking guides and stuff, I decided to tried out for myself. So, I am played safe and started out with 3.9ghz - and auto voltage! Lol.. And It crashed on aida64, of course!

But, after tweaking it around, I got somewhere stable with 3.85ghz - 1.20625v offset - and after 30 minutes or so of burning in aida64, I got maxed out cpu temp of 73-74ºC/ cpu package of 92-94ºC (that last one that's worries me!) - Observation: I'm from Brazil and here it's likes hell hot (30-40ºC).

So, after this previous review, what you guys think?

One last detail: after setting the overclock I played about 20min GTAV and Batman Arkham City, just to sees how it goes! And cpu temp were low (50-54ºC), but it suffered with some couple microstuttering when loading some new regions of the town! And it get's me wondering if this, maybe, was results of low voltage on the cpu or some other stuff. The drivers and bios are fresh (just the nvidia 1070ti I choose to let it 388.84 vulkan driver - I heard that's the best stable driver so far). Thx guys and I hope some feedback from you (sorry for my bad english).

Yes, RAM has a lot of influence on Ryzen's performance, not only frequency but also dual channel and latency. I had better results with 2933MHz, Cl12 than 3200 Cl16.

Yeap! It does! But in my particular case I upgrade to 2x8gb 3000mhz and did not work either.
The stuttering just disappear after installed OS windows 10 build 1607.

Actually, it's amperage and heat that mostly kill processors and electronics but also prolonged use at the peak usage, that's where highest amperage is. Right now, at almost idle, my CPU is using 69W @4.225GHz, if I let OCCT for instance run, it jumps to 124W. and would stay there for as long it's running. In normal use, doing some Hand brake job it never goes over 104W. despite running at 1.4v.

Wow. nicely explained! Thanks!

im supprised 69 W on idle, mine only stay around 18-20W on idle (based on HW Monitor). but mine is midle class cpu

anyway, how can u tell if your Memory 2933 cl12 is better than 3200 cl16 ? is that based on read/write benchmark ?

thanks

It's wattage on (near)idle because of permanent OC in my case.
For memory benchmark I used Passmark Performance test and Aida mostly. Enough to show difference between settings.

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 (15-17-17-35)

running on 2933 MHz 16-19-19-38
@1.36V SOC 1.1V

How can i tighten my timing?

Thank you
