Ryzen 5 1600X Stability Test

How does this look? This is my first time OC and I want to make sure all is good.

Looks okay. You have it set to 4.1ghz?

87c is a bit warm however, if you are stress testing for gaming I would not stress the FPU, it uses AVX instructions which is an unrealistic type of load for a gaming PC.

It spiked in the 80's from time to time but would quickly drop back to the 70's, 4.1 to much of a clock? My ram is clocked to 3200 also

If it's stable and running cool in whatever tasks you use your computer for then 4.1ghz is fine. You likely have a pretty good chip if it's stable at 4.1ghz with only 1.35v. Did you start at that voltage or work your way up? May want to try a bit lower if it's totally stable at 1.35v, it will run cooler if you can manage to get it any lower.

Started with 1.35, any suggestions on voltage? Thanks Steve

 

[Dunlop0078]

You ideally want as low of a voltage as possible to get your CPU stable. There is no specific number I can give, every CPU is different, motherboard and power supply can also play a factor.

Just slowly lower it until it is unstable, maybe try 1.34v next, if it's stable go lower.

If youre stable its a good result.
As said 87c is a bit high but that is 100% load with fpu stressed too.

Realistically under normal use its impossible to stress a 6c/12t ryzen to that degree.

What cooler are you using ??

I

 

[stephenpulley72]

I'm running a H7, Lowered voltage to 1.34 as recommend and the system would post but got real unstable. programs would freeze up. I ran aida64 for 8hrs at 1.35 with no issues, was even able to open other programs as well. Temps would spike to the 80's and quickly fall back the 70's.

 

[madmatt30]

Id expect better temps with an h7 in all honesty mate.

1.35v I would actually deem low for 4.1ghz , not many ryzen will hit that speed , & generally an average user would be touching 1.36v for 3.8ghz.

You appear to have a well binned but high leakage chip there.

What voktage is cpu-z showing under stress , Id be surprised if it isnt actually touching 1/37/1.38 in reality ??

 

[stephenpulley72]

1.36, with stress fpu off temps are holding at 67c under load.

 

[madmatt30]

You're good then mate in all honesty
As already mentioned avx instructions absolutely blast the temperature , same on intel.

To the point its not actually recommended to stress test using them in the first place.

 

[stephenpulley72]

Thanks, Guess I got lucky and got a good cpu.

Update, I'm now at 1.344v and stable. Thanks for all the replies.
