[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 1600x

I recently bought a new cpu for my gaming pc (ryzen 5 1600x). At the begining i didn't thought on overclocking but now it catched my mind. I am hunting 4 ghz, but when I opened ryzen masters i saw that in idle it jumps all around the voltages. I want to know is that okay when it goes from 1.1v to 1.5v. and is 1.4 volts okay for 4ghz. I tried it at 1.3895v and it crashed after 20 minutes of aida64 stability test.

If that wasn't stable I'd aim a bit lower. 1.38 is as high as I'll personally leave a system 24/7.

When i was testing a started from 3.8ghz then 3.9ghz and i found it stable at 1,375v form what i could test for 20 minutes.

Not all of them will reach 4.0 at safe voltages. Some people will run them at 1.4v 24/7 but I personally won't.


I typically oc backwards from everyone else. I pick a voltage and see how high it will run properly at, then I try to dial back the voltage. Seems easier for me that way

Yeah, that makes sense. In that way you can overclock safer. But what about the voltage jumping, is that a thing i need to be aware of.

It does it at stock speeds when boosting. You have to remember the boost has to be able to work with the actual worst chip manufactured so it doesn't crash on them.

That makes sense. I saved a 4ghz profile at 1.4v and I'll use it at 3.9 at 1.375v. How do I make it clock down whenever it's not under load because it aways stay at 3.9ghz.
