Hi to all . I have my ryzen 5 1600x overclocked to 4ghz on 1.35v and wanted to ask you if is it safe to let all the 6 cores run constantly on 4ghz, even if they are not used? i am using the nzxt x62 kraken as cooling and running it on a x370 asus crosshair 6 hero mainboard.
. idle temps are 30-36c while gaming 55-62c

listen mate, at those settings you should be happy out :) excellent result on the OC. At 4ghz with a 1.35 vcore thats a solid result. Temps as they are too....exceptional.

You haven't listed your stress temps, but as long as they don't go over 80, I'd be singing a song and having a dance too!

Nice OC. I'm at 3.9 on 1.35 but my cooler aint as good as yours. Its an AMD Wraith Max, and is really good. But at 3.9 i'm hitting the 80c mark, so I'm being carefull.

Your good to go :)
 

on stress test i see for couple of seconds 70-74c then it drops to 66c stable all the stres test time . so i should now worry that all cores are constantly runing 4ghz with 1.35v ? couse i saw a thread and the dude said that such core usage 24/7 damages the cpu 😀 not that i am married to this cpu but would be nice that it served me till zen refresh came out 😀


 


AMD recommend that you don't go above 1.42 (i think) for 24/7 use. At 1.35 you seriously don't need to worry.
If you want to be sure, and I've only just leanred this in the last couple of days (because I've the same chip, and I'm OC'ing too :) ) download coretemp and run. It will tell you what the stock VID is. Mine is 1.375. As long as you don't go over your VID voltage for crazy voltage you will be as safe as houses.

when you increase your vcore, you will decrese the lifespan of your CPU, that is true. But if your not going mad at 1.45v or something stupid, that decrease won't affect you. Lets say a typical CPU last for 10 years (providing you look after it, it will last that long) If you overclock by normal levels you may decrese the lifespan to 8 years. You really have nothing to worry about.

Again, just to say, you have a good solid OC at very decent voltage. Don't worry! :)
 
Solution

it showed me that my vid is 0.8875v so what does that mean? good or bad? 😀
 


haha:) mine did the same! :) take the OC off, reboot and run coretemp again. Then it will show your true VID. When I OC'ed and ran coretemp, I honestly got a jolt, and thought 'WTF!!!' 0.887......agghh what have I done.

Try it and see, PM me and let me know how you get on :)
